Oriole's stroke order: horizontal, vertical, horizontal fold hook, dot, vertical, horizontal fold hook, dot, left, horizontal fold hook, dot, vertical fold hook, horizontal.
Steps to practice Chinese characters well:
To practice writing Chinese characters, start with the strokes: horizontal, vertical, left, back, and dot. Horizontal strokes should be divided into long and short horizontal strokes, and vertical strokes. Hanging needles are divided into vertical strokes and vertical strokes, vertical strokes are divided into vertical strokes and long strokes, and strokes are divided into oblique strokes and flat strokes. After practicing these, you can move on to more complex strokes, such as horizontal bending hooks, vertical bending hooks, and horizontal bending. Hook and so on.
Only after practicing the strokes can you enter the next stage, practicing radicals: you need to find out what strokes each radical is composed of, and remember the order of writing; because the stroke order of each font is different, At this time, you also need to distinguish what style you are practicing. For example, in regular script, next to the character "ox", you should write it in the normal stroke order of the character "ox". In order to facilitate the continuous strokes in regular script, you should write the vertical line first and then the second horizontal line. .
The third stage is the frame structure. It is not enough to write each word in one stroke, but also to have a good frame structure. The most important thing in writing is harmony and unity. The most basic thing is that there should be no fighting between strokes.
The particularity of Chinese characters:
Chinese characters are the only preserved characters among the four ancient autogenous characters, and have unique ideographic functions and aesthetic values. Compared with European and American phonetic letters, there are big differences between them. Although European and American phonetic letters also exist in the form of cursive characters, they are still relatively simple and easy to practice.
The frame structure can best reflect a person's writing skills and calligraphy aesthetics. If you look at some calligraphy written by master calligraphers, you will find that the strokes of some of their words are not as beautiful as those of us ordinary people. But the whole character looks particularly pleasing to the eye. This is because his characters have a good frame structure and the strokes are distributed harmoniously and seamlessly.
The critical period for practicing calligraphy:
You must know that writing is not the work of the hands alone, but the work of the eyes, brain, hands, and heart. Writing begins with copying, and the key to copying is observation. When writing, you need to carefully observe and comprehend the model words and demonstration videos or other people's demonstrations to feel the weight and speed of the pen, structure the rules, and discover the connections between words. and difference.
Many calligraphers have to insist on writing calligraphy every day, not only to maintain the feel of the hand, but also to maintain the memory of the representation of Chinese characters in their minds and deepen their understanding of calligraphy knowledge such as structure and composition.
