However, there is absolutely no one who practices a thousand words or a word for a thousand times.
This method is simply not desirable.
Of course, it is ok to practice individual words 1000 times, but after practicing 1000 times, you may not even know what you wrote. How can you practice?
If you don't practice your words once, you won't practice them a thousand times.
A person has to write millions of words in his life, but that doesn't mean he has to practice.
Practice calligraphy according to copybooks, so there is a problem with the method of practicing calligraphy.
Generally, practicing calligraphy is from the first word to the last word in the copybook.
This method is conducive to getting familiar with the unified spirit of copybooks and grasping the charm of copybooks. So the first post is to practice for a period of time from beginning to end, so that you can have a certain experience and familiarity with the overall situation and conception spirit of the copybook.
If it is regular script, this feeling may not be obvious, but cursive script is obvious. Therefore, practicing calligraphy is generally from beginning to end, so learning calligraphy is also in line with the calligrapher's writing order.
However, there are also word selection exercises. The advantage of this method is that you can take advantage of this opportunity, and it is best to practice the classification of words with roughly the same structure, which is very enlightening for comparing calligraphers' artistic treatment of structure. For example, the radicals of Chinese characters belong to one category, the edges of Chinese characters belong to one category, and so on. This method is equivalent to a targeted study of Chinese characters.
Another method is to select a single character to practice. For example, fire, industry, youth, year, water, wood, gold, etc., practice these words first. Most of these words are Chinese radicals. When these words are written, they will be good at handling combined words.
Learning calligraphy is a learning process. If you are good at thinking and working hard, I believe that the road to learning calligraphy will not be too difficult.
If there is no concept at all, then practice slowly. I don't think there is any shortcut to learning calligraphy.
No matter how you study calligraphy, you may easily achieve short-term goals. However, long-term goals may not be achieved.
For example, the method of practicing calligraphy we just talked about. Do you think choosing words will be faster than not choosing words?
I don't think it will be too fast, but it will show a feeling of being fast in the short term.
For example, if we concentrate on learning the word 100, we will learn it well in a short time.
Choose words, make sentences or write poems from these 100 words, and you can create works.
However, learning the word 100 does not mean that you can write calligraphy works, but you can wave your hand with the letters. Because every word of Chinese characters has its own appearance and characteristics. Not every word can be spelled.
Let's analyze the master's calligraphy works. You can't spell any word at will. Even if it is barely spelled, it is not a decent word.
Therefore, beginners don't need to write well or write a lot of words. However, after you have a certain calligraphy foundation, you must have the ability to write a whole article, that is, a calligraphy work must have the ability of one hundred words or even thousands of words. Only through such training can we practice calligraphy well.
Therefore, practicing one word a thousand times, or practicing one thousand words, is absolutely outrageous.
Practicing calligraphy is to master calligraphy.
If you can write "agree" and "hubb", you will eventually be laughed at.
In the 1980s, there was a stand-up crosstalk, saying that a leader named Hu Buzi liked calligraphy, but he liked to practice the words "agree" and "Hu Buzi" very well. As a result, these five words were practiced so well that they actually developed into members of the Calligraphers Association.
Once, I was invited to attend a lecture on brushwork calligraphy, and Hu Buzi was invited to write an inscription, killing Hu Buzi. Because he can write five words as calligraphy words. I dare not scribble other words.
In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and write a banner: "Different characters, different characters, different Hu?" The meaning of the same word is different, and the agreement of the word is different. "As soon as everyone saw his humor and good handwriting, they chose him as their leader.
I hope we don't become "calligraphers" like Hu Buzi. Learning calligraphy requires a lot of practice and a lot of words, at least two thousand words.
