A good calligraphy work is like a poem, a painting, or a piece of music, which can make the appreciator intoxicated, give people wonderful enjoyment, and generate rich reveries. After two years of study, I think that if you want to learn calligraphy well, you must pay attention to the following points: First of all, the key to learning calligraphy is the use of brushes. The famous calligrapher Zhao Mengfu once said: "Calligraphy is based on the use of brushes." Such as starting and moving the brush. , collect the pen, lift the pen, press the pen, rotate the pen, etc. The method of using the pen can be divided into "square" and "round". The so-called starting a pen means starting a pen against the trend. The so-called center stroke is to keep the main peak of the pen in the middle of the stroke, hide the head and protect the tail, so that the center of the pen is hidden in the middle of the stipple. The center stroke can make the stipple full, round, thick and textured. It reaches three points into the wood and penetrates the back of the paper. If a square pen is folded against the wind, it will inevitably become a side edge. The basic principle is to "draw horizontally and drop the pen straight, draw straight and drop the pen horizontally". Immediately after the pen is placed, it will turn into a center forward, and when the pen is closed, it will turn into a side forward. When writing a square pen, press quickly and hard to fold it into a square. When writing a round pen, press it slowly, lightly, and lift it to form a circle. Learning to use a pen means mastering the key to calligraphy. Secondly, the structure of the words. The strokes are organized into characters according to certain rules. For the strokes of a character, attention should be paid to the appropriate spacing and density, even coordination, facing the back, appropriate changes, interspersed connections, neat arrangement, avoidance of interference, mutual support, and shape. Breaking the connection of meaning and echoing Gu Pan, the matching of each stroke can complement each other. The length, short, thick, thin, wide, narrow, etc. of strokes are like the theory of yin and yang. Yin and yang must be harmonious and interdependent, so that they can be both opposite and unified, so that the writing can be lifelike. Once again, you have to pay attention to the composition, and you can write many words into chapters. The distribution of the entire work, such as word spacing, line spacing, word size, height, leaving space, etc. It is necessary to design it well before writing, so that it is well known, so that the words and words and lines are of appropriate size and density, so that they are full of changes and integrated. To understand the techniques and inner charm of calligraphy, you should practice copying on copybooks, compare the various techniques you have learned with the original calligraphy, find out the gaps, appreciate and read the copybooks as a storybook, and enhance your understanding of the techniques. understanding. Calligraphy is not something that can be accomplished in a day. If you want to write good calligraphy, you must persevere and never stop practicing. You will definitely achieve success in learning calligraphy.
Suggestions:
If you are just starting to learn. Then Linyan Zhenqing (regular script) is the simplest font - Yan Ti.
For example:
"Duobao Pagoda Stele" (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (easier) or
"Qinli Stele" (Cultural Relics Publishing House) ( Difficult) or
The "Yan Ti Duo Pagoda Standard Calligraphy Copy" suitable for beginners (Beijing Publishing House)
~~~ (Be patient when writing!)
——Dabaiyun (common sheep hair) or wolf hair (very elastic) (I use it when writing my work~~)
Come again:
"Preface to the Lanting Collection" ( Narrative)》[Running Script] ("Wang Xizhi Lanting Narrative and His Writing Technique" (Xileng Seal Society)
Be careful!! The words must be memorized before writing~
-- --Jianhao (more flexible)
Then:
"Ode to the Stone Gate" [official script] (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (pay attention to the twisting of the pen and use it flexibly)

——Crane-footed pen (the pen is very long)
Then:
"Shiguwen" [Seal Script] (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (Pay attention to the twisted pen)
——You can still use the crane-foot pen (the pen tip is very long)
Attention: Official script and seal script are very ruined! I need to change my pen every half month (it takes three hours a day!)
Reciting some seal characters will help a lot!

)

There are also things to note:
1. You can write a word up to 10 times! ! (Requirement: After reading the post carefully, memorize the words and write them calmly)
2. You can practice “Yong” or not! ! ! None of the Chinese characters are very special, and no one has become a great calligrapher after using the character "Yong" for 20 years! !
Practice all words and treat them equally! !
3. Never believe in "quick success". The five thousand years of Chinese culture are by no means "quick success". It is based on the accumulation of rich heritage! ! ! Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy so hard that the ink of the brush soaked into the pond, leaving an ink pond praised by future generations! !
In a word: study hard and practice hard!
