There is neither a panacea nor a rigid procedure for copying and learning calligraphy. In this way, is there no rule to follow? Of course not. Calligraphers at all times and all over the world have created many treasures of calligraphy art for us and accumulated rich experience in calligraphy learning, among which copying and pasting are the two most basic methods. Most of the predecessors practiced calligraphy like this: first, choose a tablet as a template, carefully ponder the stroke characteristics and structure of each word, copy it repeatedly, and master its writing method skillfully to reach the realm of "handy"; On the basis of this family integration, we will learn from others, learn from others, develop others, and create our own unique style. "Without rules, there would be no Fiona Fang". Beginners should start with copying, that is, covering the copybook with a thin layer of transparent paper to practice. This method is suitable for beginners and can also be used to practice new posts, and it is suitable for mastering the position of glyphs. It's like finding a traction person as soon as you learn to walk. Of course, it also includes "painting red", double hook filling, shadow imitation and so on. When you are proficient in copying, copy again, step by step, and don't scribble at will. When people paste or copy posts, they often use a grid to do it. This grid is called "Green". Mi Zige, Tian Zige and TIC-tac-toe (also called Jiugongge) are often used in Grim. Using the grid method, it is easier to find the position of each part of Chinese characters in the grid, so that we can easily see the size of each part.
Regular script is the basis of calligraphy learning. The predecessors compared regular script to "Li", running script to "Xing" and cursive script to "Xing", because regular script is neat and standardized, it can be used as a model and is the basis of various fonts, and various printed fonts and artistic characters are also transformed from regular script. There are many kinds of strokes in regular script, so you should have deep skill in using the pen. My regular script skills are not deep, and my writing and cursive skills are insufficient. After practicing regular script, it is easier to master other fonts. Therefore, learning calligraphy should start with regular script, and then practice other fonts when regular script has certain basic skills. Learning calligraphy requires more practice, learning from predecessors' experience and mastering certain methods, but it is more important to study hard and persevere. Calligraphers at all times and all over the world are immersed in hard work. Calligraphy is not mysterious. As long as we practice hard in the right way, we can write. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
