1, mixed copy
Combining seal script with official script can give full play to the characteristics of calligraphy style and learn from each other's strengths. In particular, the combination of official script and official script can add more noble atmosphere, and appropriate addition of seal script brushwork can add more changes.
Simply dabbling in running script, writing too much is easy to become oily and very vain. If we combine these two books, we can give consideration to both, but we must pay attention to coordination when choosing the inscription of the folio, and it is best to find the tacit understanding between the two books.
Nowadays, the combination of rubbings and inscriptions has become the path for many scholars to learn books. Two of them are very important. First, rubbings must be pasted before rubbings. It is better to learn from ink than to learn from books. Only when they have accumulated to a certain extent can they "see through the blade" and then dabble in rubbings. Second, the inscription should not be too strange, natural and not deliberate.
2. Segmentation and replication
The author once mentioned in related articles that it is impossible for any calligrapher to learn only one or two posts in his life. Successful calligraphers, especially some excellent calligraphers, must have forged their own style through multi-party participation. When copying these masters' books, we must analyze the origin of their book style, not just the result, but the process.
3. Contrast and replication
Contrastive copying is mainly suitable for books with the same or similar style. Through comparison, we can grasp some similar but different characteristics of inscriptions, which will make copying twice the result with half the effort.
4. Extended replication
Extended copying is a method to deeply copy calligraphers with similar or identical styles and extended relationships with each other.
Generally speaking, the development of calligraphy history presents a three-dimensional relationship. As far as the style of the times is concerned, there are schools. In the vertical direction, calligraphers always take a certain style in history as the object of refuge, return and exploration, forming a vertical calligraphy system. The extended copy method emphasizes from far to near, forging its own style.
