When holding a pen, you must set a purpose. If it is painted wide, the book path will not be formed. It's not too difficult to say that the book was written with a pen.
This sentence has two meanings.
First, be clear about your intentions when writing. If you copy, you should first carefully examine the font size, brushwork, author's age and writing characteristics of the post, and make a choice when copying. If you are creating, you should use a pen to let people know where the brushwork came from or where you learned it. Don't be afraid to be told that this is a fixed method.
Secondly, it is "the way of calligraphy", that is, "calligraphy" when the intention is clear. If you don't think about it, you will lose your "image".
The difference between calligraphy and writing is "image".
"Shape" refers to the appearance of words, which is what we call "glyph". The "shape" in calligraphy should be collected and released, sparse and dense, large and small, oblique and positive. Each word has its own life and is a personalized artistic creation.
"Image" refers to the image of strokes, just as Wei Shuo said in "Pen Tu": "It's like a cloud thousands of miles across, but it's actually tangible; The' point' is like a peak falling stone, but it is like a collapse; Left' is like a broken rhinoceros; Fold' is like a crossbow with a hundred hooks; Vertical' is like a withered vine; Like a choppy, thunderous sound; The' cross hook' is like a tendon. "
Words without "image" are just symbols for recording information, and they are usually painted, not calligraphy.
When I used Cao Zhang to extract "Essays on Painting a Zen Room", the more I understood its content, the more I felt that my words were not "like". Although I have not discredited them on the whole, there is still a long way to go before "calligraphy".
If we want to break through, we should stick to our posts more, learn from the sages and see their brushwork and composition. Learn more and practice more to break through.
Actually, practicing calligraphy is the same as practicing calligraphy. We can record and think at will according to our own ideas, so that what we write is words, not articles. Big coffee or famous writers are not writing from Xinjiang, but have clear intentions and writing skills.
Practicing writing is also to read more books, learn the techniques of big coffee, think more about what you want to express, and then choose and use it for yourself.
Whether it is calligraphy or writing, it is a long way. The predecessors walked a long way step by step, paving a broad road for future generations.
We can find a place we like, open a path beside the avenue and make some innovations, but we can't deviate from the avenue and take crooked ways.
Whether it's calligraphy or writing, it doesn't matter how many words you write or what you write. What matters is whether the theme is clear and the writing is correct. There are not many words, but they are concise.
