What should beginners pay attention to when practicing calligraphy, and how can they avoid taking many detours?

Calligraphy is one of the traditional cultures in China, which has a very profound historical and cultural background, so the study of calligraphy can help people better understand history. At the same time, it can also cultivate self-cultivation, cultivate sentiment and improve people's cultural literacy. However, learning calligraphy is a long process, and people need to persist for a long time to see certain effects. For beginners, while practicing calligraphy, although there are some precautions, it can make learning efficiency get twice the result with half the effort.

First, choose a good calligraphy tool. There are two main choices about Xuan paper: raw Xuan and cooked Xuan. Similar to lower case letters, you can choose cooked publicity. Because this font controls the strokes strictly, the writing speed will be slower, and this Zi Xuan has poor ink absorption ability, so it can get better results. In the choice of brush, it is best for beginners to choose wool quilt, which has moderate softness and strong water storage capacity, making it easier for beginners to get started and control.

Second, the difficulty is from low to high. In the process of learning, don't care too much about the learning effect. You can't practice calligraphy if you are eager for success. Beginners can cultivate a quiet character from copying, the difficulty can be gradually adapted from low to high, and they can experience the fun of learning and their own progress. Moreover, practicing calligraphy for a long time can temper the will of the whole person, making people more patient and persevering.

3. Reviewing the past and learning the new is a learning method mentioned in The Analects of Confucius, which is also applicable to the practice of calligraphy. When learning new knowledge, we should also review what we have learned, so that we will not forget it and consolidate and strengthen our knowledge. Nowadays, with the accelerated pace of people's life, it is more and more difficult to appreciate the benefits of slow life, and calligraphy can also slow people down.
