Is calligraphy education that complicated?

First, we must first make clear the purpose of learning calligraphy:

1, as a calligrapher

2. Improve your daily work and aesthetic needs.

The purpose is very important, which directly determines the cost, price and difficulty you need to pay for doing something. I don't think the theme is for the goal of 1, so we can start discussing this issue.

Second, is it difficult to learn calligraphy? In my own experience, if it is purely for the needs of daily work and aesthetics, it is not difficult. There are several ways to make you write faster:

1, prepare a copybook, which is available in the market.

2. Classify the words and understand the bookshelf structure of each word. Generally speaking, Chinese characters can be divided into left and right, up and down, surrounding, semi-surrounding and single-character structure. If our handwriting is not good-looking, most of it can be understood as poor shelf structure. Just like a person with a well-proportioned skeleton, this person is basically not ugly, and with other modifications, it can be called good-looking. It can be said that you did a good job in this step and got twice the result with half the effort.

3. Let's start copying copybooks. When copying, don't learn how to use a pen first, just look at how people arrange the skeleton of words. When are the words with left and right structures as big as left and right? When is the left narrow and the right wide? When will the characters in the upper and lower structures go up and down? When is it about the same age? This is all experience. If you observe more, you will naturally understand. Just as you look at people too much, you will naturally know the approximate body standard of beautiful women.

If you have mastered the third step well, congratulations, your handwriting has begun to look good. The next thing to do is to use a pen. Of course, if you don't brush the machine, this step is not so important. If you write with a gel pen, as long as you write horizontally flat, vertically straight, and keep it like a knife, you can have more setbacks when you cross it. To write with a brush, you should learn to start, turn and close the pen. Use a pen in the center, if you want to go left first, you will hide the front and expose the front. These calligraphy books will explain.

Having said so much, the key is to practice. My experience is that when I have a pen (no matter what pen), I write and draw on paper. When you don't have a pen, you can also draw on your legs with your fingers and even draw yourself in your mind. That's what this old idiom means, huh? Hehe, in fact, as long as you study hard, your handwriting will look good within a year.
