There are five forms of calligraphy: seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. Most people and I think that beginners should be based on regular script, but some people think that they should learn official script. The arrangement of regular script structure is only an intermediate stage. It evolved from official script. If regular script is flat and even, then dennis gabor's brushwork is official script.
Simple writing is running script, simple writing is cursing, and now it is grass. If we start with official script, it is difficult to master the brushwork of regular script, because the brushwork of regular script is richer and more complicated than official script. Practicing the basic skills of regular script can be used as the basis for practicing and writing various styles.
With the basic skills of regular script, I have mastered the inter-frame structure and brushwork of regular script, and I can write regular script, official script, running script and cursive script. Even seal script can get twice the result with half the effort. The best way to practice regular script is to paste it temporarily. Temporary paste needs to choose flat paste. Yan, Ou and Liu He do, but when buying tablet stickers, try to buy better quality copybooks.
On the basis of selecting posts, we should go through five steps: reading posts, describing posts, copying posts, recording posts and creating posts:
The first step is to read the post:
Reading posts means reading glyphs, reading structures, reading strokes, analyzing and trying to figure out the stroke characteristics of words and the relationship between strokes. For example, when we read the Chinese character "zhong", we should read that a vertical line of "zhong" passes through the middle of "kou", and the word "kou" is slightly flat. The long vertical line in the middle is divided into two sections with equal length by the lower horizontal line of the mouth, and the upper horizontal line of the mouth is divided into two sections with equal length. This is an interpretation of glyphs and structures. Different fonts and strokes have different characteristics.
The second step is to describe:
"Tracing red" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners draw printed red copybooks along the handwriting with a brush. "Imitation" refers to copying the post, that is, covering the model words with transparent paper and writing them one by one along the shadow of the words on the paper, which is also called writing imitation.
The third step is to publish:
It refers to putting the copybook aside and watching the copybook write word by word. This method is helpful to master the brushwork and meaning of Chinese characters, but it is not easy to master the structure of Chinese characters.
The fourth step is to recite the post:
Refers to the method of removing the copybook on the basis of copying, recalling the font on the copybook according to your own memory and writing it on paper. This is a key step in practicing calligraphy. Only by carefully examining the words you read and write, can you write accurately. When writing, if you can see the exact font of the Chinese characters to be written on white paper, so that "the words are on the paper and the words are on the chest", it is not a problem to write a good hand.
The fifth step is to publish:
On the basis of mastering the writing method of the words on the copybook, I learned the writing method of the words not on the copybook by analogy. According to the needs of self-expression, writing a paragraph with center, content and self-contained system is creation.
Extended data:
Writing posture: It is very important to learn the correct posture of calligraphy, especially for teenagers who have just learned calligraphy. Incorrect posture is not only difficult to correct, but also affects the health of bones and eyes. Therefore, the posture of learning calligraphy must be correct, that is, head, body and hands. Calligraphy probably has the following postures:
Sitting posture: Anyone who can write less than three inches can sit in a book. The height of desks and chairs for reading should be moderate. Keep your head straight, but lean forward slightly, but don't lean sideways. Hips should be straight, waist should be straight, chest should be straight, don't lie prone on the table, and the chest should generally keep a distance of 3-5 inches from the table. Spread your legs naturally, put your feet flat, and press the paper with your left hand (the paper should also be put straight).
The position of the pen should be about 6 inches from the nose. Some people advocate that when writing, the pen is aimed at the tip of the nose, which is too mechanically stiff and easy to distract attention. It is not so rigid, as long as the pen is located around the nose and the words written are in the middle of the eyes.
Stand-up: when writing in big letters of more than three inches, stand up and write cantilever, which is stronger and takes care of the overall situation. When standing, you should keep your feet steady, with your right foot slightly stepped out, slightly in a T-step, your right half slightly stretched forward, your waist slightly leaned forward, and your left hand pressed the paper or spread it backwards. Predecessors advocated concentrating the strength of the lower body on the waist, pushing the shoulders with the strength of the waist, driving the upper limbs with the strength of the shoulders, and sending the strength to the pen tip through the upper limbs and wrists, that is, the so-called "strength comes from the waist and roots in the feet". This can be achieved step by step in practice.
Begging on your knees: write in big letters over two feet, either kneeling or lying on your stomach, so that you can easily grasp the structure of the words. The method is to kneel on the left knee, bend the right knee to support the body, and straighten the left hand to help the ground. This method is too flexible to be effective. If possible, it is best to prepare a short case to write.
Whether reading while sitting or standing, keep an appropriate distance between your eyes and the paper when writing, and this distance will change with the size of the written words. Small characters should be close, and big characters should be far away. Usually you should write in block letters and big characters, about a city ruler, and the small characters should be slightly smaller than this distance. When writing a large character of more than one foot, there should be a distance of more than two feet, otherwise it will be difficult to take care of the relationship between strokes and the overall structure.
