You can write beautiful Xingzi cursive script like this:
Practicing Xingzi cursive script is not to solve aesthetic problems. Practicing calligraphy is not about studying how to make it look prettier or better. That is how to set the goal of practicing calligraphy. It can only be an act of amateur consciousness, so let me ask you: What is the standard for good-looking? Can any word you write or copybook word you see be analyzed and quantitatively scored? Let me ask you again: Do you want to focus on quality? How to quality check words? If you practice calligraphy without quality inspection and only focus on aesthetics, the following situation will occur:
For example: Your family is building a house, and you know how to pull out a bunch of "good-looking" architectural renderings online , then can you build a house? Because your aesthetics has reached a certain level! But you don’t know whether the master you hired is professional or not! Because you must be unprofessional! You don’t understand the load-bearing relationship between foundation beams, ring beams, beams, columns, walls, and stairs. You also don’t understand the basic knowledge about the distribution of steel mesh and how to design and cut materials.
For example, the master who originally required double-layered steel bars for the floor only laid one layer for you, because even if you are an amateur, you can’t tell. You only know that the construction site is dirty and unsightly, and you are too lazy to take care of it. You can do whatever the workers do. Anyway, you just build it for me and I think it looks good. Is it possible to do things this way? Is it reliable? It is unreliable in any industry.
Another example: A factory produces screws in large quantities. Can you feel that they are qualified? If you select the ones that you think are beautiful and qualified and send them to the factory as finished products, then the factory you opened will definitely close down within a week. When hundreds of thousands of screws leave the factory, they will be randomly inspected and the unqualified rate will be as high as 80% or even all of them will be unqualified. In your factory The vernier caliper has become rusty after not being used for many years! Where can people in today's society rely on aesthetics to solve all problems without focusing on quality?
The same goes for learning any skills or professional academics! In our more than ten years of student life, all the way from elementary school to college, the exam is a quality inspection! How could it be possible that good-looking handwriting means the quality of your academic performance is good? No matter how good the aesthetics of your handwriting feels, it can't replace the quality of learning? The handwriting is beautiful and your ideas for solving problems come naturally to you? If your writing is beautiful, your reading comprehension will naturally be better than others? Impossible! It's all just imagination!
If you always do not distinguish between hard-pen calligraphy and hard-pen writing, and do not distinguish between calligraphy and the use of standard characters, then the standards will be confused. It is impossible to rigidly integrate two opposite standards into one standard. It requires both standardization and change, both practicality and art. It should be noted that the artistry of hard-pen calligraphy is much stronger than practicality, while hard-pen calligraphy is mainly about quality first, taking into account both practicality and aesthetics. It is not like many beginners who understand by imagination. of.
I just want to write quickly and basically look good. The requirements are not that high, but what about the quality? Are you quality conscious? How is quality analyzed? I don’t understand, I have no awareness at all. To practice calligraphy like this is to blindly pursue an illusory aesthetic feeling, such as being pleasing to the eye, comfortable, elegant and elegant. . . . Basically, it is impossible to quantitatively analyze based on objective reality. Such calligraphy practice will eventually develop into self-appreciation, self-identification, and narcissism, which is definitely unreliable.
