*What is calligraphy? No one can define the art of calligraphy clearly. Using a brush to write is a tool, not calligraphy. It is difficult to define calligraphy because the art of calligraphy is too complex.
*Calligraphy is a knowledge and a restriction, not a technique. It is sad to treat calligraphy only as a technique.
*To judge a person's calligraphy skills, it is not to see how many words he writes every day, but to see how much he understands calligraphy.
*The current problems in calligraphy learning can be summarized in two aspects: one is the insufficient understanding of calligraphy; the other is the insufficient preparation of calligraphy.
* Calligraphy is as difficult as reaching the sky. Throughout the ages, there have been countless people who could write well. But there are not many left in history, only a handful. What has been left down in history is that one does not care about power, the other does not care about money, and the third does not care about knowledge. This is true.
* To learn calligraphy, you must learn from the ancients. It is okay to learn from the Republic of China, but you must catch up. This is the fundamental way to learn calligraphy, especially seal script. It is not advisable to learn calligraphy from modern people and famous modern masters.
*Learn from the ancients, the sexual things should be strengthened, and the personal things should be weakened.
*When learning calligraphy, we advocate learning individuality and oppose learning individuality. This is the guarantee for the inheritance and inheritance of calligraphy art.
*We must make ourselves smaller and make the ancients bigger.
*The art of calligraphy requires a bit of spiciness, just like white wine. After drinking it, you will have a lingering aftertaste and reach a "slightly drunk" state. The process of drinking is not beautiful, but the "aftertaste" after drinking makes people feel beautiful.
*Han Li "Shi Chen Bei", the current printed official script is basically from "Shi Chen Bei", it is so perfect, so sweet.
*The art of calligraphy will never have the word "success", it can only be a comma, not a period. Be respectful of art.
*The process of learning calligraphy is the process of learning to limit yourself. Without restrictions, it’s not called calligraphy, it’s called writing.
p>*In calligraphy, without exception, there is a unity of opposites, and no technique exists independently. Such as long and short, fast and slow, thick and thin, thick and light, curved and straight, etc.
*Chinese brushes were only used in the Ming Dynasty. No one used brushes before that.
* When we study calligraphy, we need to understand calligraphy. The more we learn, the less clear we become. “After learning, we don’t know enough.”
*Calligraphy pursues two things: one is legality, and the other is interest. Art is not technology. Art starts from technology and finally reaches the realm of "Tao". "See life in stillness."

About Lin Tie
*Lin Tie is the only way to learn calligraphy. But just copying posts is not enough. Without research and thinking, the methods will be different and the results will be different. Anyone who copies posts and doesn't think with his brain will never get results; anyone who uses his brain to think will definitely get good results.
.
*The more posts, the better. Too many posts is not scientific. For example, if you read "Lanting Preface" ten times a day, it does not necessarily have good results. If you write too much, that's not called writing, that's called copying.
*If it is not broken, it cannot be established. The official script destroys the seal script, and the small seal script destroys the large seal script.
*When we write a post, we must be like it, but we have to be like it, and we cannot really be like it. But there are some posts that cannot be realized, such as Mount Tai stone carvings, Duobao pagodas, iron wire seals, etc.
* Through reading and copying posts, we must learn to communicate with the ancients, have conversations with the ancients, and feel the living place.
*Strictly speaking, pursuing "gold and stone energy" in writing is against the principles of calligraphy. If someone wants to pursue "astringency", it is not advisable to intentionally tremble in the hand while writing. The wind-eroded mottled state on the inscription should not be deliberately written on, but should be restored.
*Study must be scientific and master the method. You can practice single words one by one, and then change to another one after you master it. If you learn five words every day, you will learn 150 words in a month.
*Seriousness is an attitude, and image writing is an ability. We must first be serious, and then strive to write images.
*To use the concept of creation to write a post, that is, to write the post from behind and make a second creation. When you pick up the pen to write this word, you must fully consider it, be prepared, have thoughts, and have the means. After writing three or four times, you will be successful.
