How to practice calligraphy

1. Start with the basic strokes of regular script, that is, point, horizontal, vertical, left, press, lift, hook and fold.

2. Master the correct sitting posture and pen holding posture. When practicing Chinese calligraphy, sitting posture is basically the same as writing with a pen, which requires sitting up straight and punching with the body off the table, but the posture of holding the pen is very different, which is also determined by different writing tools. Sometimes, according to the needs of writing content and paper, standing posture will be used when practicing brush writing.

3. When practicing writing basic strokes, practice by classification. For example, when practicing writing "three", first practice three, three, three, three, and so on, then write "coherence" and combine them.

General rules: practice basic strokes first when practicing regular script; Practice the stroke order again; Third, practice radicals; Four-practice glyph structure; Practice branch layout.

4 copybook recommendation:

Ou Yangxun (European) "Jiugong Stick"

Zhong Shaojing's Ling Fei Jing is well written.

Liu Gongquan's "Yan Liu Jin Gu", but I feel that Yan Zhenqing is too natural and free and easy, and it is difficult for new scholars to start. Liu Gongquan's statutes are more artificial and easy to ponder.

5. According to your hobbies and advantages, combined with the characteristics of calligraphy, choose the font you want to practice.

Not everyone must practice, but they can practice according to their own characteristics and hobbies.
