If you want to write well, you should follow two rules: step by step, study hard and practice hard; Ask for advice with an open mind, read more and understand more.
A. Understand three calligraphy learning processes:
1, copybook copying stage. Choose a classic copybook that suits your taste and start practicing in the order of regular script-running script-cursive script. For more copybook selection methods, I recommend Baidu's post "How to choose a pen copybook and a pen for beginners of pen calligraphy"
2, the stage of seeking advice from famous teachers. When we copy calligraphy to a certain extent, we will encounter the "ceiling", our writing ability will be weak, and we will enter a period of confusion. At this time, if there is a teacher around, it will get twice the result with half the effort. Whether it's ancient brush calligraphy or modern hard pen calligraphy, we should travel all over Qian Shan, visit famous teachers and ask for advice with an open mind. Of course, self-copying and asking for advice from famous teachers can be carried out at the same time.
3. Self-contained stage. After copying and teacher's guidance, we have accumulated a lot of writing skills and experience. At this time, we may want to break away from the previous sages and write our own style. This is a relatively high realm, and it is also the realm that every calligraphy lover pursues diligently.
B. to practice calligraphy well, there are three points to pay special attention to:
1, good pen. If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first! If you want to write well, you must choose a good pen with moderate price and excellent writing style. There are many ways to choose a brush online. The pen is recommended by Baidu search [How to choose a pen copybook for beginners of pen calligraphy]. There are many pens and pen selection methods, which are very practical.
Study hard and practice hard. As the old saying goes: Don't write for three days. Especially in the process of practicing pen and ink, the understanding and improvement of writing skills are obtained by writing more and practicing more. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, was diligent in practicing calligraphy. He once dyed all the nearby pools with a paintbrush, and finally achieved great success, leaving behind an eternal story of "Mo Chi".
3. Have a persistent heart. Nothing can be done overnight, and practicing calligraphy is also a test of endurance. It is the easiest to fish for three days and dry the net for two days, so you must be self-disciplined and keep practicing, and the pen will definitely make great progress.
