3. Methods of copying copybooks
1. Choosing appropriate copybooks
Copying copybooks is the only way to learn calligraphy, and it is also an effective and good way. There are two kinds of copybooks copied, one is a brush copybook and the other is a pen copybook. When learning pen calligraphy, you should copy the pen copybook, and the effect of copying the brush copybook is also very good. Because most brush copybooks have high artistry, in addition to their precise stippling, clear thickness and clear context, they also have the advantages of beautiful structure and perfect composition, which is beneficial to beginners' learning. In addition, the brush copybook is rich in varieties and styles, and it is also easy to choose and use. It's just that the lines of the brush copybook are thick, while the pen handwriting is sharp, so when copying, you should remove its flesh and blood and take its bones and muscles.
2. Methods of copying copybooks
(1) Selecting copybooks:
Choose a copybook that you like better, with neat stippling and well-proportioned structure to copy. If it is a brush copybook, you should choose a copybook with a smaller font, which can save the time of shrinking.
(2) Copy first, then copy, and copy together. When learning Chinese characters, copy first, then copy, and copy together. The so-called copying is to put the copybook under a relatively transparent calligraphy paper and use a pen to "paint red" according to the words on the copybook. It is required that the handwriting of the pen should not go beyond the brush strokes, but should be written in the middle of the stippling on the copybook. In this way, over time, it is easy to learn the structure of the words on the copybook. The so-called pro is to put the copybook next to the calligraphy paper; Draw a gourd according to the words on the post. It is required that stippling be written in a vivid way, with changes in light and heavy rhythm and thickness. In this way, over time, it is easy to learn the meaning of the words on the copybook. Because copying is more difficult than copying, it is necessary to copy before copying. Because copying and copying are two complementary means of learning Chinese characters, it is necessary to combine copying and copying step by step.
(3) Read and paste carefully
Furthermore, read and paste carefully before copying. How to write the words on the post by stippling, how to arrange the structure and how to arrange the rules, we should carefully ponder and find out the rules, so that it is easy to write with interest, and it is easy to write well. When copying, don't be greedy for more and be quick. Stick to it for an hour or two every day and copy a few words repeatedly, so that you will get real gains. For words that are difficult to write, it is even more necessary to learn from the difficulties, copy more and compare more.
(4) besides copying, you should also know how to recite, memorize and use. Reciting means writing without reading the post, so that you can write the words on the post without reading the post, and strive to be beautiful; The core is to check the words written on the back with the words on the post. See if there are any mistakes, and be good at finding your own shortcomings, so as to correct them; Use is practice, applying what you have learned to real life, and consolidating and improving what you have learned in practice.
(5) Learn from others
After copying a copybook, you should learn from others and submit some other copybooks.
