Translation:
When Huai Su lived in Lingling, he was so poor that he didn't even have paper to write in Chinese calligraphy. So he planted more than 10,000 plantains and splashed ink with plantain leaves, calling his buddhist nun the "Green Temple". First find a wooden pallet and a board, color it, and use it as an inkstone and tablet.
Grinding ink every day, writing every day, grinding when the ink is dry, and writing after grinding; Wipe it after writing, and wipe it before writing. Day after day, year after year, the boards are worn out and worn through.
Extended data:
It is not easy to write beautifully. Writing in Huai Su describes Huai Su's writing situation like this: "He always sees the shape of the words first, remembers the order of the words, and then writes them one by one." Huai Su's "Writing" just shows that writing should start with observing the structure of words, remembering the order of words and writing them one by one.
Students should start with observing the word structure, find out the characteristics of the word structure, build up confidence, practice hard and develop good writing habits. "A drop of water can penetrate a stone. Everything comes naturally. Only with long-term practice and accumulation can you write beautiful words.
In fact, it doesn't take long to practice calligraphy, just find the right method. The suggestions are as follows:
Determine your goal first-do you want to be a calligrapher or like the art of calligraphy? To become a calligrapher, practicing calligraphy is a lifelong thing.
If the goal is not so high and you just want to write in front of others, you can still get a good evaluation. Or you can use it freely in your daily work and study, which is not only fast but also beautiful. If you use the right method, you can practice your calligraphy in a short time.
It is to narrow the scope of practicing calligraphy and separate the writing brush from the hard pen (pen, signature pen, ballpoint pen, etc.). ), at the same time, separate hard pen calligraphy from practical hard pen writing.
Hard-pen calligraphy is very different from practical hard-pen calligraphy, such as writing tools, paper, writing format and form, training methods, training requirements, targeting objects and so on. Relatively speaking, hard-pen calligraphy needs more time, energy, intelligence and a certain talent, while learning practical hard-pen calligraphy is relatively simple and easy.
