intermediate level: the transition stage from copying to creation, including levels 4, 5 and 6.

(3) can initially coordinate the relationship between the content of the work and the location of the signature, and the overall layout is relatively unified and complete. (4) copying works requires correct expression according to the characteristics shown in the copybook.
second, intermediate level (level 4-6)
it mainly examines the practical skills of learners in hard-pen Chinese calligraphy.
On the basis of regular script training, through copying, we gradually transition from regular script to running script's pen and structure training, and master two practical fonts, running script and regular script, so as to achieve beautiful strokes, reasonable structure, harmonious layout and sense of rhythm, and at the same time master the basic knowledge of calligraphy.
Specific requirements:
Level 1 and 4-Proposition ① Ability to master various techniques of using a pen. ② The structural arrangement is reasonable, and the variety can be enriched by the extension and avoidance of stippling. ③ The relationship between words and space should be handled appropriately, and the layout should be coordinated with the size and position of the inscription. The overall layout is complete and unified.
Grade 2 and 5 —— Proposition ① stippling is smooth and there is no obvious failure. (2) The structure is relatively correct, stable, lively and varied in density. (3) The horizontal and vertical writing of the rules and regulations can be written in an orderly manner, with clear priorities, and the inscription is in harmony with the text, without obvious mistakes.
Grade 3 and 6-Proposition ① The stippling lines are bright and clear, and the pen is accurate. (2) the structure can be in accordance with the rules of calligraphy, pay attention to the beautiful shape of the font, and there are rich changes. The composition should pay attention to the combination of reality and reality, and the layout of the inscription and the text should be reasonable, unified and complete.
Advanced (Grade 7-9)
It mainly assesses the creative level of Chinese hard-pen calligraphy.
By copying the classic calligraphy works of past dynasties, we focus on training the structure and composition of Chinese characters. It is required to master more than two kinds of fonts, so as to achieve accurate strokes, natural strokes, exquisite structure, suitable statutes, harmonious composition and ingenious layout, and at the same time master the basic common sense and related knowledge of Chinese characters and calligraphy.
Specific requirements:
Grades 1 and 7-Proposition ① Point painting is vigorous, and the writing should be active, with a brief introduction to the basic skills of Chinese calligraphy. (2) the structure is ingenious, balance is found in the dynamic process, and the relationship between density and density is handled appropriately. (3) the composition is patchy, the primary and secondary are appropriate, and the virtual and the real are born together. It can make full use of the size ratio of the signature and the position of the seal to coordinate the layout of the works. (One piece of regular script works, and one piece of other script works are attached)
Grade 2 and Grade 8-Propose that the specific standards of this level can refer to the contents mentioned in the previous grades, and on this basis, appropriately raise some standards, that is, the works must have their own style as a whole and have a strong sense of creation, and the works give people a beautiful feeling.
grades 3 and 9-proposition ① can master the writing rules of various fonts. ② The stippling is clear, the pen is precise, the lines are strong, and there is a certain emotional color. ③ The structural arrangement is reasonable and proper, full of vigor and vitality, and has a considerable personal style. ④ The composition is harmonious and complete from the text to the inscription and bell printing, which has a strong appeal. ⑤ There should be no typos, missing words, mixed traditional characters and simplified characters. (Note: one piece of regular script works, and two pieces of other calligraphy works are attached, among which one piece of running script works must be written horizontally)
Extended information:
Hard-pen calligraphy is divided into hard-pen calligraphy art and practical hard-pen calligraphy, the former mainly emphasizes artistry, while the latter mainly emphasizes practicality. The artistry of hard-pen calligraphy mainly shows the writer's understanding and feeling of calligraphy art through the changes of lines and structures, and it pursues beauty, emotion, interest, artistic conception, personality and so on; The practical hard-pen calligraphy, that is, daily writing, is mainly to meet the needs of practicality and to be easy to write and recognize. The key is to make writing fast and standardized, so the practical hard-pen calligraphy is mainly based on running script.
The characteristics of hard pen calligraphy are mainly compared with brush calligraphy. First, because the material of the hard pen tip is relatively hard, its line change is not as soft as that of the soft pen-the writing brush changes greatly; Second, because the commonly used hard pens are mainly pens, the lines are much finer than those of the brush, so the fonts are much smaller, even smaller than the small letters of the brush; Third, due to the material of the pen, the hard pen is easier to control than the brush.
Based on running script, some cursive writing methods are borrowed to meet the needs of daily work, study and life. Pen-based, practical hard pen calligraphy, mainly emphasizes practicality, but more emphasis on artistry. Practical hard-pen calligraphy can be easy to write and easy to recognize. The key is to write quickly and standardized. The characteristics of running script are easy to write and can be written quickly, and the standardized running script is also easy to recognize. Therefore, practical hard-pen calligraphy is mainly based on running script.
I'd like to talk briefly about whether it is necessary to practice regular script first. In fact, there are similarities between regular script and running script, but there are also great differences. Regular script has the writing standard of regular script and running script has the writing standard of running script, and the two cannot be confused. We can't think that writing regular script quickly is running script, and writing running script quickly becomes cursive script.
People often compare regular script to standing, and running script to walking. Naturally, cursive script just runs away, so you should learn to stand before learning to walk. This statement has some truth, and it also emphasizes the need to practice basic skills in writing. However, people ignore that this basic skill has two meanings: one is the ability to control strokes, and the other is the ability to understand various calligraphy styles and grasp the characteristics of strokes.
Therefore, when the basic strokes of Chinese characters have been mastered, it is possible to practice running script directly for the purpose of practical writing. Because when practicing running script, you can also train the ability to control the pen. Because the standard of regular script is not the same as that of running script, we often see some people who write neatly, but once they write running script, they are out of order, and if they write quickly, they will become "ghost symbols". This is because they have not written according to the standard of different scripts.
Many writers in history are good at regular script, running script and cursive script. This is the truth.
