Fang and Yuan: This is the most important concept that we should accept first when learning hard pen calligraphy. Because Fang Bi and round pen are the most obvious external features of a word, there are usually two ways to deal with each stroke of a word, namely, square is not round, too strong, round is not square, and gentle and lovely, that is, the so-called "square takes strength and round takes research".
Don't stick to the way you write a word in the copybook. In practical application, the first thing to tell myself is that Fiona Fang is helpful to both. At the same time, we should try our best to master the Fang Bi writing method and the circle writing method of each stroke, so that we can use it freely in chapter writing and give people a sense of change.
Big and small: this is also a pair of concepts that beginners often ignore. I remember when I was a child, my teacher told me to write neatly, and every word should be written in the same size to look good. At first, I did the same. Later, after I learned a little about calligraphy, I realized that this was a matter of course for laymen.
Big and small are such a pair of contradictions that calligraphy lovers can't ignore. Beginners tend to ignore it. I think one reason is that some people think that equal size and uniformity are misleading to beauty, and the other reason is that the words written on the copybook Tian Zige are all about the same size, so we think that every word should be written about the same size.
According to the original size of the word, the original big word is bigger and the original small word is smaller. The word book has no original size. The so-called original font size is just a common writing shape that is largely determined by the number of strokes of a word. For example, the word "zhi" can of course be written as big as the word "four", but I think it should be its own size.
Memorization is regarded as a common word of "small print", such as: de, zhi, ge and classification. Because these words are used very frequently, they are worth taking out separately. It can be said that if you remember to treat them as "small words", there will be no serious problem of equal size in chapter writing, because the usage rate of "de" exceeds 3%, and every 100 words, you need to write three words.
