In today's hard-pen calligraphy world, some famous calligraphers also draw nutrition from some classic ancient calligraphy posts. Such as Mr. Tian Yingzhang and Mr. Ding Yongkang. , have put a lot of effort into brush calligraphy. Of course, if you really want to write a good pen, don't be superstitious about modern people's "pen and ink". In other words, even contemporary pen masters have many shortcomings in their copybooks. It is not only difficult to understand directly, but also easy to form a habit. After all, the development of hard-pen calligraphy in China is not long. Compared with brush calligraphy, it is far from mature and has inevitable defects in theory and experience. This is also the reason why some famous artists in the field of hard pen calligraphy started with brush calligraphy instead of using pen copybooks as templates directly. Just like Mr. Qin in Hubei, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, his hard-pen works won many awards in national exhibitions, and later he wrote several kinds of works. His achievements in pen calligraphy did not come from the direct writing of hard-pen copybooks written by modern people, but from the study of the classical calligraphy of Mi Fei and Chu Suiliang, two famous ancient calligraphers.
You mentioned that "the handwriting is just a glyph, and there is little difference in weight", "the pen is too dead to grasp" and "the strokes will shake" precisely because the brush calligraphy foundation is not enough. The characteristics of the brush itself determine that it has high requirements for weight, trajectory and strength. If you can use it freely on a brush, why is it difficult to turn to a hard pen? Of course, these words only emphasize the importance of brush calligraphy to hard-pen calligraphy practitioners, not that hard-pen copybooks are useless. Some famous hard-pen copybooks are still very good, but compared with the classic calligraphy copybooks handed down by the ancients, their artistic value can only be said to be "shame". !
I say so much, that is, I suggest that if you really want to write hard-pen calligraphy well, you can try to start with the study of brush calligraphy, interspersed with hard and soft, which will help you understand. You can also learn from the learning method of "writing hard and writing soft" by famous experts in the hard world today, that is, writing brush copybooks with pens. Of course, due to the characteristics of the brush itself, not all Copybook for calligraphy can write with a hard pen. Here are some Copybook for calligraphy books that are more suitable for pen learning, such as Preface to Lanting by Wang Xizhi, Shu Su Tie by Mi Fei and Wen Fu by Lu Jianzhi.
