The steps of learning calligraphy are as follows:
First, master the correct writing.
The position of the pen is closely related to the size of writing. The higher the pen is, the bigger the pen needs to swing, and generally speaking, the bigger the words are. Therefore, to write the same size of words, the running script is higher than the regular script, and the cursive script is higher than the running script. There are many ways to write, including tube twisting method, tube twisting method and three-finger method. Need to master: point to reality, fingers should be solid, not weak; The palm is empty, and the pen container is unreliable in the palm; Wrist work, the wrist should be flexible, not stiff or attached to the table and so on.
Second, start with regular script and practice calligraphy.
Because regular script is the most common font in daily life, it is suggested to start with regular script and practice calligraphy. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, regular script developed independently in official script. Regular script is between official script and running script, which is convenient for us to master running script similar to regular script but with more complicated techniques. Therefore, a master of regular script can basically master the writing skills of brush, which is also very helpful for learning other characters (official script, running script, etc.). ).
Third, copy as many posts as possible in practice.
Because in the process of copying, most people will not take the initiative to analyze and understand the ins and outs of each basic brush of each font. But if you master the method of copying copybooks, you will get twice the result with half the effort. To master the method of copying copybooks, you need to choose appropriate copybooks, brush copybooks or pen copybooks.
How to master copying copybooks: choose copybooks, copy before copying, and combine copying. When learning Chinese characters, we should combine copying before copying, read and paste carefully, and remember, check and use besides copying. And learn from others and practice different copybooks.
Fourth, participate in calligraphy exhibitions, competitions and other forms.
On the basis of practicing soft pen, improve the writing ability of hard pen (pen) and gradually improve the appreciation level of calligraphy creation. When you practice to a certain extent, you can take part in some calligraphy competitions to test your level and see your advantages and disadvantages from other people at the same level. I believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely improve your writing.
