When copying famous writers’ copybooks, you must use a pen:
1. The first step is to read the copybooks. We all know the pronunciation of the Chinese characters on the post, so there is no need to read them again. What to read? Read the glyphs, structure, and strokes, analyze and figure out the characteristics of the strokes and the relationship between the strokes. For example: when we read the word "中" in boldface, we need to read that the vertical part of "中" passes through the middle of "口". The character "口" is slightly flat, and the horizontal length is twice the vertical length. The middle part The long vertical line is divided into two equal length segments by the lower horizontal line of the character "口", and its upper segment is divided into two equal length segments by the upper horizontal line of the Chinese character "口". This is reading glyphs and structures. Different fonts and strokes have different characteristics. The changes in hard-pen calligraphy strokes are not obvious and are not easy for middle school students to master, so I won’t go into details here.
2. The second step is tracing. "Tracing" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners use a blue pen to trace along the handwriting on the printed red copybook. "Copy" refers to copying, that is, covering the model characters with transparent paper, and writing stroke by stroke along the shadow of the characters on the paper, which is also called copying.
3. The third step is to post. It means putting the copybook aside and watching the copybook write word by word on the homework paper. This method is helpful for mastering the writing style and meaning of the calligraphy, but it is not easy to master the structure of the calligraphy.
4. The fourth step is to memorize the post. It refers to the method of removing the copybook based on the original copybook, recalling the glyphs on the copybook based on your own memory, and writing it on the homework paper. This is a key step in practicing calligraphy. Only by carefully scrutinizing the words you write and having a solid plan in mind can you write with spirit and accuracy. When writing, if you can see the exact shape of the Chinese characters you want to write on the white paper, and "write the characters on the paper, and the characters in your chest", and write like tracing red, writing good calligraphy will not be a problem.
5. The fifth step is creation. After mastering the writing method of the words on the copybook, I can understand the writing method of the words that are not on the copybook by analogy. According to the needs of one's own expression and expression, writing a piece of text that has a center, content and self-contained system is creation.
.6. Things to note when practicing calligraphy
Let me talk about several issues that should be paid attention to when practicing calligraphy:
The first issue is writing tools choice. "If you want to do your job well, you must first get the tools." Whether it is a fountain pen or a ballpoint pen, you must choose a good pen that writes smoothly and has even line thickness. The ink is too light and difficult to identify; the ink is too dark and gives people a sense of depression. This often affects the mood of the marking teacher during the exam, causing unnecessary loss of points, so blue-black is the best ink color for handwriting.
The second question: When practicing calligraphy, you should pay attention to the writing posture and the way to hold the pen. Since most middle school students now use ballpoint pens, I will use ballpoint pens as an example to talk about the writing posture and the method of holding the pen. When writing with a ballpoint pen, you must sit in a sitting position with your head upright, your body straight, your arms open, and your feet secure. Since ballpoint pens write small words, the movement of the pen tip should be in the area with the best visual effect. Generally, the right hand holds the pen, and the pen position should be slightly to the right. The eyes are about 30 cm from the paper, and the chest is about 10 cm from the edge of the table. Extend your arms naturally, with your forearms flat on the table. Press the left and right sides of the penholder with the pads of your thumb and index finger respectively. The left side of the first joint of the middle finger is against the bottom of the penholder. The ring finger and little finger are in turn close to the middle finger and naturally bent into a half-clenched fist shape, which serves as a municipal control function. The distance from the point of contact between the thumb and the pen barrel to the tip of the pen is about 4 cm. The penholder leans against the tiger's mouth, forming an angle of 45-60 degrees with the paper. The smaller the characters, the larger the angle. If you use a pen to write, you should also pay attention to the pen tip on the outside and the pen tongue on the inside, so that the middle seam of the pen tip touches the paper to ensure even water flow and smooth lines.
The third question: When practicing calligraphy, you need to be calm, start well and finish well, and not be impatient and perfunctory. When writing, you must be meticulous and every stroke must be written realistically. When some people practice calligraphy, they like to doodle before finishing. This kind of doodle is a taboo in calligraphy practice. It not only damages the life of the pen tip, but also makes the progress just made after practicing for a long time disappear.
The fourth question: Don’t change fonts easily. Practicing calligraphy requires perseverance, perseverance, and solid basic skills. You should practice calligraphy regularly, and you should not be exposed to the cold for three days, fishing for three days, and drying the net for two days. Note: One day of practice will make you feel good, and one day of not practicing will make you empty.
After mastering the font structure, you can choose the font you like and practice it persistently, and do not change fonts easily. Because once you change the font, you have to start from scratch.
The fifth question: We must learn to combine writing and practice. Some students write very well when practicing calligraphy, but they just mess up when doing homework. This will never be possible. Good calligraphy. The calligraphy you have practiced should be used in daily life, and you should write as well as you did when you practiced it. Use each one you practice, learn by using it, use it while learning. Only by combining learning and application can you practice calligraphy well.
