In the fourth grade of primary school, I started a brush class and fell in love with brush calligraphy from then on. Due to family conditions, I can't enroll in extracurricular interest classes for special practice, so two calligraphy classes a week have become the most anticipated thing when I go to school.
Later, the calligraphy class was gone, and the learning task became heavier and heavier. I had to buy my own copybook and practice it in a hurry. After practicing for many years, there was no progress. After going to college, I can finally control my time freely. I will find some tutorial videos on the Internet to practice. This has made a little progress. I have been trying to write Spring Festival couplets since the Spring Festival of my freshman year, and now I write them every year.
Because I like calligraphy, I will deliberately understand that history and related figures, and indirectly enrich my historical knowledge and cultivation. This may be my talent for calligraphy.
Ou Yangxun's regular script, the biggest regular script writer in the history of calligraphy, has always been regarded as a template exercise. Ou Yangxun's most famous work in his later years is The Inscription of Liquan in Jiucheng Palace. Every time he practices calligraphy, he can think of the ancient people's praise and advice to Emperor Taizong's Wu Jian through Jiucheng Palace, and the advice and advice of "aiming high, staying without profit" through Liquan.
Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan also practiced for some time. As a result, no one's font looks like it in the end, and it is exaggerated to say that it is your own.
Practicing brush calligraphy is really a patient job, and the more anxious you are, the worse you can write. You can also learn a lot from calligraphy, about history and life.
Every time I'm in a bad mood, I practice writing. Because I can slowly calm down in the process of each stroke, stroke and stroke, and the soft brush can also write Chinese characters, which will give me a sense of strength at my fingertips and my heart, and will make me understand many things.
The so-called calligraphy practice and calligraphy when you are upset are completely different. By practicing calligraphy, you can cultivate your inner peace and certainty, so that you will not be too impetuous in a deep era.
Stroke by stroke, take your time. Don't worry. For me, the biggest gain from practicing calligraphy is not how beautiful calligraphy is, but what kind of artistic conception can be achieved by writing calligraphy.
