1. Learn regular script first.
As long as you choose a good copybook, write two pages every day, and persevere, you will see results in two months. As for the method of practicing writing, it is still best to trace first, then copy, and then compare to find differences. For difficult words, write them down separately and make special breakthroughs. When the practice is effective, interest will naturally arise: the more I write, the more I love writing, and the more I read, the happier I am! This is where success begins.
The three steps of practicing calligraphy are the same, first practice regular script; secondly practice regular script; thirdly practice cursive script. Calligraphers of all ages have unanimously maintained that only by practicing regular script well and having a solid foundation will it be easier to write in regular script and cursive script. Only by practicing regular script well can the writing be smooth and the body not fragmented.
2. Practice basic strokes
Start by learning the basic strokes of regular script, namely dot, horizontal, vertical, left, back, lift, hook and fold.
A character is like a machine. Practicing the basic strokes is like processing the "parts"; practicing the radicals is like starting the "assembly"; practicing the entire glyph is like entering the "final assembly" . That is to say, learn "decomposition" first, and then learn "coherence". Therefore, regular script is the foundation, and basic strokes are the foundation of the foundation.
When practicing basic strokes, practice them in categories. For example, when practicing writing "丶", you should practice 丶,丿,丶,丨, etc. separately, and then write "continuous" and combine them.
General rules: when practicing regular script, you should first practice basic strokes; then practice the order of strokes; thirdly, practice radicals; fourthly, practice glyph structure; fifthly, practice branch layout.
The "dots" of Chinese characters should be emphasized when writing, like a stone falling to the ground. What kind of points are needed for what kind of parts, it is necessary to "concentrate on the writing first". For example, the writing method of Zhong Shaojing and Ouyang Xun above "倀" is more powerful when written in short vertical strokes.
3. Persistence
After three days of perseverance, I practiced two pages a day. On the fourth day, I felt a little itchy. Think about it, forget it. Anyway, I can’t write a word at once. I will write it well, but another voice reminds me again in my ear, insist on it and don’t give up easily. In the end, after a lot of conflicts, I must persevere. Especially when I encounter something unpleasant, I just take out a pen and paper and practice calligraphy quietly. As a result, all my worries are gone. Practicing calligraphy has become a habit in life. If I don't practice calligraphy any day, I feel as if there is still one unfinished thing. After my own efforts, my calligraphy has made some progress, so I will continue to persevere.
