Copying copybooks is the only way to learn calligraphy, and it is also a good and effective method. There are two types of copybooks for copying, one is a brush copybook and the other is a fountain pen copybook. To learn fountain pen calligraphy, you should copy the fountain pen copybooks. The effect of copying the brush calligraphy is also very good. Because most brush calligraphy has a high artistic quality, in addition to its precise stipples, clear thickness and detail, and clear explanation of the ins and outs, it also has the advantages of beautiful structure and perfect composition, which is conducive to beginners' learning. In addition, the brush copybooks are rich in variety and style, making them easy to choose and use. It's just that the lines of calligraphy are relatively thick, while the handwriting of fountain pens is relatively sharp, so when copying, the flesh and blood should be removed and the bones and muscles should be taken.
Choose a copybook that you like more, has neater stipples, and a more well-proportioned structure to copy. If it is a calligraphy copybook, you should choose a copybook with a smaller font, which can save the time of reducing the size.
Copy first, then review, and combine with copying. When learning calligraphy, you should copy first, then review, and combine with copying. The so-called copying is to place the copybook under a relatively transparent calligraphy paper and use a pen to trace the words on the copybook in red one by one. It is required that the handwriting of the pen should not go beyond the calligraphy of the calligraphy brush, and should be written in the middle of the stipples on the copybook. In this way, over time, it will be easy to learn the structure of the words on the copybook. The so-called lin is to put the copybook next to the calligraphy paper and draw the gourd according to the words on the copybook. It is required that the stipples be written realistically, with changes in light, heavy, rhythm and thickness. In this way, over time, it will be easy to learn the meaning of the words on the copybook. Since copying is more difficult than copying, one must copy first and then copy. Since copying and copying are two complementary means of learning Chinese characters, copying must be combined and done step by step.
Read the post carefully before copying. The words on the post, how to write the stipples, how to arrange the structure, and how to arrange the chapters must be carefully considered and find out the rules. This will make it easy to write interestingly, and it is easy to write well. When copying, don't be greedy for too much or too soon. Stick to it for one or two hours every day and copy a few words repeatedly, only in this way can you get real gains. For words that are difficult to write, we should learn more about them, copy them more, and compare them more.
Memorize, verify, and use. In addition to copying, you also need to be able to memorize, verify, and use. To memorize means to write on the post without looking at it, so that you can write the words on the post without looking at the post, and strive to be the same in form and spirit; to check is to check the words written on the post with the words on the post. See if there are any mistakes, and be good at discovering your own shortcomings so as to correct them; use means practice, apply what you have learned to real life, and consolidate and improve what you have learned in practice.
Learn from the strengths of others. After you have copied one type of copybook, you should also learn from the strengths of others and copy some other copybooks
