My grandmother is a person who is very good at calligraphy, especially writing brush calligraphy. Whenever she writes calligraphy, I will read it. Influenced by her at ordinary times, she became very interested in China's calligraphy.
"Brush calligraphy is an art. You can't learn it well without in-depth practice and understanding its background." "Hum, isn't that a writing brush? Who wouldn't? " Found grandma's big white clouds, golden ink blocks, Xuancheng raw rice paper and Shaoxing inkstone. Grind the ink and write a book quickly. "How so ugly? How can grandma write so beautifully? "
"Well, no, there must be a secret! I rushed over and asked my grandmother, "Grandma, can you tell me how to write Chinese calligraphy? "
"Of course, calligraphy refers to calligraphy written according to traditional statutes, rather than writing casually with a brush. It is the first stage of learning calligraphy. How to write China's calligraphy well is a very complicated and specific problem, which cannot be thoroughly explained in a thousand words. If you want to write China's calligraphy well, you must master the brushwork and calligraphy. The so-called brushwork mainly refers to how to shape ideal lines (stippling).
News. When the pen is pressed, the strokes are thick, and when it is lifted, it is thin. Just like when people walk, their feet keep alternating, and when they write, their pens keep pressing. Only in this way can lines with different thicknesses be produced.
Every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: input, writing and receiving. There is a method of "exposing the front" to make the pen tip sharp or square; There is a method of "hiding the front", in which the front enters the pen, the horizontal painting wants to be straight first, and the vertical painting wants to be down first, so that the front of the pen is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically round. Learn to "use the pen from the middle" when writing, so that the front tip often runs in the middle of the strokes. In order to make strokes more powerful, we should learn to use the pen unsmiling, leaving lines in the middle and lines in the middle to avoid glitz. There are "exposed front" (the pen is gradually lifted off the paper, drawing a sharp point, such as hanging the needle vertically, skimming, pressing and hooking) and "hidden front" (the pen tip is retracted into the painting, such as hanging vertically, and the pen tail is round).
Knot is also called knot structure or shelf structure. Mr. Qi Gong once pointed out that to write a brush, it is necessary to grasp the structure of the pen holder and practice the characteristics of strokes. Frame structure is more important than stroke features. Words with good spacing are not prominent in stroke characteristics and pleasing to the eye; Not the other way around. Therefore, it is very important to study and master the structural rules of words carefully. The so-called "beginner distribution, but seeking fairness".
We should start with regular script or official script first. After mastering all kinds of brushwork, you will have the foundation to learn other calligraphy styles. Persistence is the only way to practice Chinese characters well. If you don't stick to your post, you can't write it yourself Learning to write Chinese calligraphy requires perseverance, perseverance, arrogance and rashness, and it can't get cold all at once. The ancients all said: "As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle." As long as you stick to the law of learning, you will certainly learn something.
As for pen and paper, ordinary wolf hair and old newspaper are good materials for practicing calligraphy. Beginners suggest starting from practicing regular script and gradually improving from shallow to deep.
If you practice like this, you won't be able to practice. Do you understand? "
"I see, I see."
The next morning, I went to the bookstore and bought some copybooks of Liu Gongquan and Yan Zhenqing. After returning home, I wrote according to the method my grandmother told me, and it was not as ugly as the first day.
From then on, I persisted in practicing despite the cold and heat, and won a prize in the competition of our calligraphy school!
I'm afraid it's impossible for a willing heart to do it. I love calligraphy!
