Judging from the value in the history of calligraphy, it is one of the immortal masterpieces because of its profound attainments, beauty but not flattery.
The mysterious pagoda tablet is the essence of Liu's calligraphy. Although the book was written in the middle and early period of Liu Gongquan, it has an unparalleled influence on the development of calligraphy in later generations. It is also an excellent embodiment of honesty and calligraphy spirit.
As for which job is more suitable for temporary study, I don't think it can be generalized. But there is a famous saying that the only failure is to give up halfway. I'm glad that your son chose the post-mysterious tower when he got started, which is the most solid cornerstone leading to the calligraphy hall.
First of all, calligraphy emphasizes human spirit and charm. A book is a person, through his words. Therefore, Liu Gongquan's calligraphy style is highly respected by China traditional culture. Liu Gongquan's writing style is full of profound philosophy. Mu Zongheng asked him how to use a pen, and he replied, "The mind is regular and the pen is correct, and the pen is regular and available." . Pun, profound meaning, Mu Zong listened to, immediately increased political ability, understand the meaning of his pen to remonstrate. Liu Gongquan experienced ten emperors: Shun, Xian, Mu, Jing, Wen, Wu, Xuan and Yi. He is a prince official, and Dr. Zi Guanglu is the founder of Hedong County, and his words are supreme to people. Therefore, you can benefit from studying the mysterious tower and communicate with this ancient sage on the artistic level.
Secondly, as far as the process of calligraphy learning is concerned, there is no fixed number of introductory books, but the characteristics of children and the practice of calligraphy determine that it is the most taboo to seek the so-called skills of learning from foreigners. Therefore, for people who really want to learn calligraphy, whether cursive or seal script, they should study it until it looks like three points, and then consider whether to study others in order to better understand the previous calligraphy style. Besides, the mysterious tower is a classic.
In addition, in order to develop in today's economic and social tide, there are roughly two kinds of ideas for teachers to guide:
First, be quick, not precise. This way is as follows: in order to let parents see their children's achievements in a short time, and even win various awards, they use all kinds of high-sounding so-called theories to ask students to "cut corners", and they dabble in all kinds of cursive scripts or seek books with all kinds of book styles to learn. This is tantamount to encouraging young people. The picture shows the temporary achievement of teaching, but what is lost is the foundation of children's lifelong learning. After 358 years, few people can make this method work.
Second, ask for materials, not yourself. Such teachers are often not as proud as the former, but they are also quite so-called proud students. Teachers often help children wholeheartedly according to their personality and preferences. According to their understanding, it takes about three years to lay a solid foundation. Then, step by step, block letters, running scripts, running scripts ... gradually enter the calligraphy hall. For example, Mr. Zhang, the first female doctor of calligraphy in China, has been based on the basic training of young people's calligraphy and painting all her life. Although he is not tired of fame, many of his disciples are very successful. Learning from books is more enjoyable. Such beginners have no utilitarian heart, but they are often the true pets of various competitions. Although their skills are a little simple, their charm is convincing and they are the way to success.
Finally, I would like to make two points for your reference:
1. There are many versions of the mysterious pagoda now, but none of them is really complete. Among them, the best one depends on careful comparison.
2. To have a solid way to learn books, you can try "Liu Gongquan's mysterious tower-Zhao Mengfu's Danba monument-Wang Xizhi's Lanting preface-Mi Fei's running script-Sun's book spectrum".
The so-called ten years to grind a sword, frost blade has not tried, now I will show you, who is unfair?
I hope a real book lover will be born, and I hope you are a wise guide and helper.
