First of all, traceability
To learn calligraphy, we must understand the origin of calligraphy development, and start to know and learn from the source, which is helpful to grasp the correct direction of calligraphy learning and deepen our understanding and understanding of calligraphy.
Second, your understanding.
The key to practicing calligraphy is "enlightenment". As the saying goes, it is rare to learn without understanding; Only practice without understanding, only practice bones and muscles. "Understanding" determines the height of calligraphers. Since ancient times, most learners can only be regarded as calligraphy lovers, and some are not even enthusiasts. Many learners, even after studying for more than ten years or decades, will eventually hold the ultimate hatred because of their poor understanding. People who learn calligraphy without "Huigen" can't achieve great things. With "Huigen" without the guidance of "savvy", this "Huigen" will also die. The Zen book says, "It's not Bao who enters the door!" A man can take a horse to the river, but he can't make it drink water. Enlightenment, merit and self-nature, a word, filled with the mystery of calligraphy, a word, screened out no one in the world!
Third, silence.
Calligraphy is a subject that needs long-term study and study. It is impossible to study hard and read widely without a quiet heart. Many scholars have regrets about "keeping a low profile, accumulating wealth and accumulating wealth". Now is an impetuous era, with a fast pace of life and great work pressure. This impetuous society often makes us lack our own independent thinking and follow the mainstream of society blankly. When we realize it, there will only be more sighs and feelings. "Calm down, self-righteous, think about your life and be happy in the pool." Learning calligraphy requires quiet people to get close to the ancients, so that the words can be quiet, the environment can be quiet and the meaning can be far away.
Fourth, the World Expo.
The state of "ten years of cold window" is no longer suitable for today's calligraphy learning. Studying hard at a cold window only makes a nerd. Sue: "It's not enough to withdraw your pen like a mountain. You can understand God only by reading thousands of books." With thousands of books in your chest, you can avoid writing tacky. Su Dongpo's calligraphy is full of rich knowledge and articles, which is precisely the reason why other calligraphers can't catch up with him. Today, with the developed network and frequent exhibitions, we should not only read thousands of books, but also read more books and communicate more. Many times, it is much better to watch how others write than to study hard at home.
Fifth, keep an open mind.
The process of writing Lanting by Wang Xizhi should be enjoyable. The realm of "wind and fluency, scenery and comfort" is exactly where Xihe's "Wei and Jin demeanor" lies.
Six, people and books are old.
Learning books is expensive in accumulation and precipitation, just like Shaoxing old wine, the older it gets, the more fragrant it gets. Learning books is unhurried, and artistic achievements can be recognized and respected by the world at a young age, which is also rare in history. Bai Di said it well: The process of calligraphy learning should be beginning (naivety)-carving (seeking beauty)-perfecting (returning to the original). It is not advisable for many contemporary scholars to create works lacking details with ideals and pursuits beyond the historical development track. I think the longest calligraphy time should be in the process of carving (seeking beauty). In this way, the calligrapher's level grew, his knowledge gradually improved, his works stood the test of history, and finally reached the realm of the old man and the book.
