Most of us think that we can learn calligraphy without theory or skill. But theory and technology are integrated and complement each other! Technology is the perception and application in practical operation, and the refinement and sublimation of technology form a theory, which in turn reacts on technology. In the actual technical operation process, the theory itself guides the technical operation, and the technology is close to the Tao.
Second, cursive script and running script are not contradictory.
The calligraphy works of Kai, Xing and Cao Shu all express their opinions and have their own strengths. Learning cursive script does not necessarily mean learning running script or regular script first, and learning regular script does not necessarily affect the development of cursive script. In fact, they are in the same strain, but they are in different stages. Different people have different views, and wise people have different views. At the beginning of learning books, you can learn all kinds of cursive scripts.
Third, inheritance and innovation should be placed at the same height.
Inheritance focuses on learning from and repeating the ancients, but it does not blindly copy the techniques of the ancients. It is the foundation of calligraphy art inheritance that we need to learn and use flexibly and not forget the foundation! Innovation is expensive, but you can change old laws. Without inheritance, unfamiliarity and innovation, it is a scholar; Inheritance and innovation are integrated, just like heaven and earth, you have me and I have you; Pursue extreme singleness deliberately, just like a flood in nature or a dry sale without rain.
Fourth, there is no distinction between form and spirit
Pay attention to the relationship between form and spirit in the process of calligraphy learning! It is a good work to have both! Form is the foundation of God, and God is the collection of forms. Form contains the meaning of god, and god is scattered in the form; There is no God in invisible nature, and the tangible God is free in it; Just praying for God's likeness without being seen is like being at a loss. Both form and spirit have a bright future.
