Is it best to practice only one copybook when practicing calligraphy?

Beginners should choose a font, Liu Zhao, a tern, to recognize a master, and then choose a representative copybook with this font, such as Liu Gongquan's Monument to the Shence Army, or Yan Zhenqing's Monument to Many Pagodas, and Ou Yangxun's Monument to the Liquan in Jiucheng Palace. Zhao Mengfu's handwriting is a running script, not a real regular script, so beginners generally don't practice Zhao Mengfu.

It takes several years to write a regular script. At this stage, it is best not to change the copybook, write and practice every day, thoroughly understand and practice every word of this copybook, and make the frame reasonable and the strokes excellent. As for the composition and layout, you can not consider too much for the time being.

A copybook can hardly be written from the beginning, so this copybook is mastered.

If you change copybooks frequently, it will cause confusion for yourself, and the words you practice are also four unlike and unsystematic. Practicing calligraphy like this obviously gets twice the result with half the effort. Practicing calligraphy is a silly effort, and it takes more time and is more difficult to practice this method.

However, it is impossible to practice only one copybook forever At a certain stage, after regular script has a profound skill, you should read more copybooks, not just one.

No matter what kind of font you are practicing, such as Liu Gongquan, you should also take a good look at other copybooks in Liu Gongquan except the Monument to the Magic, because no matter how perfect a copybook is, it still has limitations, the words included may be incomplete, and there are also shortcomings in the expression of brushwork. Systematically dabble in all his copybooks, and then focus on refining one or two, then it is a master, and it is a bit large.

Later, we should know the works of other calligraphers and all kinds of famous calligraphy posts handed down from generation to generation, so as to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's shortcomings. Ou Yangxun's peril, Liu Gongquan's strength, Yan Zhenqing's richness and Zhao Mengfu's brilliance can only be appreciated one by one and turned into their own use.

At this stage, it will be very easy to start with famous posts in other fonts. Everyone can practice a little, take the essence, and then slowly integrate the best essence into his own pen to form his own style. This process is the only way to practice to a certain extent. Therefore, instead of changing copybooks, it is better to practice a sentence that is obviously wrong here.

Some people say that you can only practice one font. Then write the words to death. You are a typist at best, but you can't succeed.

The correct way to practice calligraphy is to start with regular script and then cursive script. If you only practice one copybook, how can you go further on the road of calligraphy?

With the deepening of your understanding of calligraphy and your own skills, your understanding and experience of a Copybook for calligraphy will also change. At first, I liked the true letter, then I liked the running water character, and finally I was obsessed with cursive script and even crazy grass. It's like practicing martial arts, step by step. The former is the basis of the latter.

Compared with going to school, the introduction of regular script is in primary school; Choosing copybooks to specialize in junior high school; You can practice running script in high school, and you can dabble in running script when you enter college with a little success. At the graduate stage, focus more on cursive writing. Cursive script is the art of pen and ink lines and the highest realm of calligraphy. Finally, "Weeds" is not only calligraphy, but also a combination of many things in the spiritual level, which is perfect to the point where it can't be reached.

If you are an ordinary calligraphy lover, it is enough to practice a copybook.
