2. To learn calligraphy, we should go deep into tradition. Only by going deep into the tradition and truly understanding the traditional spirit can we deeply fall in love with calligraphy. Tradition is not exhausted for the present era, and its resources are still fresh. According to the different degree and understanding of traditional excavation, different calligraphy trends can be expounded.
3. In the epigraphy movement in Qing Dynasty, the traditional view was that a different aesthetic world was established outside the epigraphy system. In fact, although the study of steles pays attention to strange and ancient tastes, its style and quality are still in the tradition, which can be said to be in line with the aesthetics of traditional literati calligraphy.
4. The real context of calligraphy is a huge pedigree composed of famous calligraphers in Wei, Jin, Ming and Qing Dynasties, that is, the calligraphy system, including the style of calligraphy and the aesthetic value advocated by calligraphy, that is, style and quality.
5. How to understand the ancient methods? The most important thing is that information must be rich. This can be said to be our advantage. For example, when we study Tang Kai, we should abolish the distortion of Tang Kai in the Qing Dynasty. You can refer to many Japanese calligraphy works handed down from ancient times. These book traces are of great significance to our understanding of the brushwork of the Tang people. Therefore, in a sense, the parents of Yan Suiliang and Yu Shinan are far more important than Feng Ben and Ding Wuben. It is particularly worth studying. Because it is the result of writing, it retains more brushwork of the Tang Dynasty. Although the structure is not as glamorous as Feng Benxiao's, the lines are more realistic.
6. To learn calligraphy, you must have rich materials that can be compared with each other. We have more information than the ancients, which is the advantage of our time. However, our information is more printed, so the problem comes again. After all, printed matter is second-hand information. Although it is much better than seal cutting, there is still a certain gap in understanding ancient calligraphy. So reading the original text is very important. Compare the survey data and observe the original works.
