1. Beginners should first draw in red, and then directly copy is better. Finally, they can recall the glyphs in their minds and write directly, then compare and modify them, and practice repeatedly.
2. It is easier to learn Yan Zhenqing’s Yan style regular script (Duobao Pagoda Stele).
3. Use yellowed nine-square grid paper, similar to straw paper, with twenty-four grids. You should practice 10-20 pieces a day, or 25-40 minutes a day based on time.
4. When practicing, you must practice calmly and start with the strokes: horizontal drawing (start the pen against the front, press the pen to the right and down, etc.), vertical drawing (fold the pen and press the right and down, turn the center to point down) Astringent strokes, etc.), writing strokes (starting the brush against the front, moving upward to the right, neither sluggish nor floating, etc.), nuphua (starting the brush against the front, gradually applying more force, etc.), folding paintings (starting the brush strokes like a horizontal stroke, writing The pen should be lifted lightly at the corner, etc.), pick-up (start the pen against the front, fold the pen and stroke to the right, etc.), vertical hook and arc hook (write the vertical stroke to the end, only the vertical section is slightly curved, etc.), horizontal hook (Horizontal writing to the end of the stroke, gently lift the stroke upward, stroke downward to the right to make dots, etc.), horizontal hook (start the stroke along the stroke, move from light to heavy to the right, etc.), pointillism (square dots, almond dots, etc.) Skip the point).
5. Essentials for practicing brush calligraphy:
The most important thing about practicing brush calligraphy is interest. If you want to achieve it quickly, there is no good way, because you need to lay a solid foundation from scratch. Writing will make you solid. Practice strokes first: dot, horizontal, vertical, left, hold, lift, vertical hook, curved hook, oblique hook, horizontal hook, vertical bend, vertical curved hook, vertical lift, horizontal hook, horizontal fold, horizontal fold hook, horizontal stroke , folds, dots, etc. These are the basic stroke essentials. I suggest you practice Pang Zhonghua's calligraphy. You should imitate his frame structure according to the copybook, and then use the basic strokes you have learned to write. You will soon gain a lot. Practice time every day. If you have time at the beginning, it should not be less than 1 hour. If you are interested, it does not need to be very long. It should be effective for a month. If you persist for a month, you will naturally consciously write every day. You don’t need to write for too long or too long. If you work overtime, it will be too tiring and ineffective. In the later stage, just write for 25-40 minutes a day. Of course, it is to strengthen your interest and buy a copybook with basic strokes, which explains how to write radicals and the structure and layout. Those calligraphers did not develop it over ten years. So I will get used to loving the one I choose. Just read that calligrapher's calligraphy and practice it. I practice this way too.
6. Writing posture:
The correct writing posture is: straight body, head upright, arms open, and feet open. Sit upright, with your shoulders squared, your waist naturally straightened, and slightly leaning forward. Your chest should be about a punch away from the edge of the table; your head should be upright and slightly tilted forward, and the distance between your eyes and the paper should be about one foot; Open your arms naturally to the left and right, place your forearms flat on the table, press the paper with your left hand, and hold the pen with your right hand, so that the penholder is slightly tilted to the right, not directly in front of the bridge of the nose, but the tip of the pen should fall directly in front of the bridge of the nose; both feet should be placed flat naturally On the ground, shoulder width apart.
7.. Practicing calligraphy is not a day’s work, it must be persevered.
