The art of calligraphy has three realms: the first is the shape of the characters, the second is the spirit, and the third is the personality, that is, the characteristics. This is especially true for Lin Tie. The form of Lin De is low-level, and Lin De is somewhat similar in spirit to Intermediate level. The highest level still shows one's own unique aesthetics based on Lin Tie. The so-called "spiritual similarity" means pouring one's own emotions and thoughts into it, and feeling that the author has reached some level of communication, just like Confucius learned the drum and qin from his teacher Xiangzi. "Character Qi" puts aside the appearance of characters and allows people to feel the inner temperament, charm and aura. This is the same as a person's temperament. Gorgeous clothing makes a person more handsome, while ragged clothing cannot hide the inner beauty. This is what the official script and seal script call "simple and natural, ingenious but not workmanlike".
As for whether a single word is good but the whole article is ugly, first of all, the skill is far from perfect. Otherwise, if every word is written extremely brilliantly, then the whole article will never be ugly, but will appear uneven and uneven. A different kind of beauty! Then the vision of writing has not been opened, and the overall situation cannot be seen. It is only focused on individuals or each line. This is a lack of vision. The so-called "coherent writing" pays attention to the "aura" of the whole article, but not "tidy". Third, after you have a deep understanding of single characters and the ability to see the whole text, you can write "neatly" with just a little attention, because neatness is a basic aesthetic after all, even if it is cursive, It also contains an inherent "straight line".
Therefore, beginners must not fail to study the strokes and structure of the calligraphy, as well as the writing strength in order to write neatly. Although this may "look good for a while", it will never lead to further development. It should be noted that "it is better to be clumsy and skillful than to be skillful and clumsy", that is, to go from clumsy to skillful is easy, and to go from skillful to clumsy is difficult.
