For all those who want to write well, there is no trick to practicing handwriting. But there are ways.
Two major steps:
1, cognition. What is the key to knowing what a good character is and writing Chinese characters well?
2. practice. Written determination, habit of regular practice and observation.
1, cognition. What is the key to knowing what a good character is and writing Chinese characters well?
These are actually two problems, which are progressive and complementary. Say what is good first.
Subjectively, different people have different opinions. But no matter how subjective, it can't escape aesthetic recognition. Of the people who can write 100, 90 think the word is comfortable to read and "well written", so at least we think it is not bad.
Objectively, Chinese characters must have their own skeleton and writing logic. If we can correctly understand the frame structure of Chinese characters, and understand the pen-receiving, pen-stopping, pen-writing and writing methods of Chinese characters, and integrate them into our daily writing, then such words can be called good words.
And doing all this is not as simple as we thought.
Liu Tiyan Timi is recognized as a good character by Su Fei Wang Shixi Zhilang. Why?
First of all, their calligraphy conforms to the aesthetics of most people. More importantly, these guys' writing is very systematic, including: correctly understanding the bookshelf structure, understanding and understanding the stop and stop of Chinese writing, and integrating into their own style.
I went to junior high school in the early 1990s. Practice writing every holiday. 1cm square pen font and 4.5cm square brush font, from resistance to fear, from fear to numbness, from numbness to habit, from habit to adaptation, and then, then went to college. When I was in junior high school, Pang Zhonghua's handwriting was popular all over the country, and everyone thought it was good. At that time, I thought: scare! How can this word be so good? How can a person write so neatly and uniformly? As an adult, I don't like his handwriting very much, but I don't deny that this person writes well. Because he really knows the shelf structure of Chinese characters too well, he can easily manipulate the characters; Too strong, and finally, too much; Finally, his words are simply too many.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a teacher, a student or even a fan. My Chinese writing teacher is my grandfather. I just want to be objective when discussing pen words. How many people have we met who can write in block letters with pens to the point where Pang "ruined calligraphy"?
Because Mr. Pang is not practicing words, but hands. we? At best, we are just practicing calligraphy. And I've seen those hands that write on the blackboard with chalk, just like their pens. How many people can do this? I'm sure you've all written chalk.
As for whether you like it or not, it's your freedom, and it doesn't affect Pang's magic hand. In fact, we have seen a lot of good things, and it is inevitable that we will feel bored. But I have to find a reason other than boredom. I really don't.
To tell the truth, I also practiced Pang Zhonghua's words in junior high school. I don't like his handwriting now, but I think his handwriting is printed and lacks personality. But this can't be a reason to deny the fat man, which is where he is awesome. From the perspective of practicing hands, it is impossible to practice one pair of hands into a machine without solid basic skills, extraordinary perseverance, perseverance and courage. Does Wang Xizhi know that the pool has been blackened with a brush? Well, actually, his swimming pool is not too big; Do you know that he finally filled a small hut with a rotten brush? Even if the hut is too small, a one-square-meter hut will have a volume of 2.5 cubic meters even if its height exceeds 2 meters. If you simply put the brush, have you calculated how long it will last?
In fact, there is a kind of "good", which is what we sometimes call "boring". For example, the appearance of John doe's big name. For example, star attraction. Pang Zhonghua's handwriting, for example. Because of boredom or other psychology, we will shout: how boring! For example, as long as Party A has good conditions, he can smoke whatever he wants, and it is useless for Party B to try again. This is the invincible state of boredom. But this kind of "boredom" is often another manifestation of "perfection".
There are several extremes of words, human, magic, magic and god.
Pang Zhonghua's words, not people, are between demons, or, in other words, have become demons.
Wang Xizhi's word, God.
But at first, Wang's predecessors were nothing more than people. From man to demon to demon, it depends on hard training and waiting, and strong determination; From man to god, it depends on hard training, pondering, pondering, understanding, feeling and the long-term cycle of this process. Of course, God, we have to guess that they may have some talent.
And a person whose handwriting is considered poor by everyone, how does he know what good handwriting is?
See the handwriting of those people around him? Start learning when you feel better? Take advantage of everyone? Some people write their names beautifully, and when they write the text, they feel like a different person. Others write in such a self-style that "self" has occupied the basic cognition of Chinese characters. Most importantly, how do you make him learn? After all, it is too difficult to learn countless "Chinese characters" around you, regardless of the quality of the object. This process should be done later. Because, in the initial state, he doesn't even know what a good word is, and reading too many "Chinese characters" will definitely be misled.
Do you often feel that some words just can't be written well? Moreover, some words have been written for many years since you realized it, and you don't even know what proportion of radicals they should take, but your primary school Chinese teacher seems to have never told you this, just asked you to copy the word 500 times. There are some words, you don't know why writing them will make you feel like saying "alas!" !
The above example just wants to tell you how good words come from. Then, if you really want to know what a good word is, first, the best, the best, I sincerely tell you, it is still all kinds of regular script copybooks.
Only model regular script can tell you the best words you need to write. This is mainly because, except for special needs, what we write with pens or hard pens every day cannot be written in other styles. But if you want to write POP advertisements for pharmacies and convenience stores, you need special font learning, so forget everything I said.
When I was a child, I practiced some copybooks under the pressure of my grandparents and parents, mostly regular script, followed by official script. At that time, when I was young, I often resisted. Compared with some bookish and strict tutors, there are not many invitations. But now I think it is absolutely harmless to practice more. Because more practice, at least in cognition, will definitely improve.
Only by knowing what good Chinese characters are can we have a purpose and set an example, and then, be brave after knowing shame.
Few people are born with writing ability. This is different from painting, music and other art forms. Talent can certainly reach a height that ordinary people can't reach no matter how hard they try, but calligraphers who have talent and don't practice obviously won't go down in history. The fact is, if you find someone around you who writes well, please believe that 99.99% is not due to talent, but the result of a certain period of time or even long-term practice. Most of these exercises are not because they don't know themselves, but because of their positions. The good words you see are only words with a certain self-style formed by him after a certain period of time or even long-term post practice, with few exceptions.
As for some people, my handwriting is good, but I have never practiced it, that's all. It means you can write well without practicing at all. There is no need to copy. Okay, let me explain. First of all, the so-called "writing" is also a form of writing practice, but it has low-quality weaknesses such as low cognition, low efficiency and low effectiveness, which is not enough to recommend to everyone. Secondly, you can think that your handwriting is beautiful because you write casually in your life and work, but I must say that even if your handwriting is good, it's just that you are smarter and smarter. And I really hope that my words can face all those who want to write well, so it should be easier for talented people to understand.
In writing, most people have no talent, because this is not a guess, it is a fact. Due to a certain family environment and love of writing, I have come into contact with many people who write well since I was a child, and also with many people who have participated in a calligraphy competition and won a calligraphy award. Without exception, they practice pasting out of date, long or short. Of course, all I meet are mortals. Ordinary people are characterized by being different. Some people practice for a year or two, but they can penetrate the back of the paper; Some people will practice for three or five years; Some people practice for more than ten or twenty years before they realize their "initial temperament"; Others claim to have practiced calligraphy, which seems to have been practiced intermittently for a long time, but it is very general, such as myself. This is the difference between mortals. These differences are related to patience, mind, understanding and environment. But we always want to see God, don't we?
Therefore, at the initial stage when you want to practice calligraphy, at least at the initial stage, your best reference is not others or sages, but regular script copybooks that can be sold for several yuan, ten yuan and dozens of yuan on the bookshelf. Of course, in the sense of "exemplary level", the regular script at the calligraphy exhibition should also be your teacher, as long as you have a little thought and time to read it.
So, what is the key to writing Chinese characters well? Or, why do you have to use regular script?
First of all, we should know the bookshelf structure of Chinese characters. To put it simply, how to arrange and place a Chinese character, radicals and strokes can be the most appropriate, appropriate and beautiful, which is in line with the aesthetics of most people.
If there is any trick to practicing Chinese characters, it is most important to master the shelf structure and its laws of Chinese characters. This is the foundation of the foundation, and it can also make practice more effective.
Don't worry about style and backbone from the beginning. Because sooner or later, you will have these, and you may even have them. The strength of character, when you practice to a certain extent, will naturally come out. But first, you should at least know how to write a Chinese character.
The reason why regular script is a model for recognizing good characters is that objectively speaking, many popular regular script copybooks in bookstores at present have an absolute advantage, no matter what style, school or family they claim: the bookshelf structure is fine. If you don't believe me, you can go to the bookstore tomorrow. For example, you can pay attention to the proportion of unilateral, anti-text edge and walking edge in fonts to see if these big cows are basically the same. In addition, you should know that they are often famous because of their strength and personality. But this is because they all have a premise that there is no problem with the shelf structure at all. Therefore, it will only get twice the result with half the effort and may even be in vain to practice with their frontage and characteristics from the beginning.
This is why block letters are important at all times. This is why sketching is very important for all kinds of painting.
It is the foundation to practice regular script and be familiar with the basic writing methods of horizontal and vertical strokes. It is more important to be familiar with and master the bookshelf structure of different Chinese characters.
This is often overlooked.
Secondly, it must be the second, which is the practice in Feng Jian.
When Feng Jian comes out, your own words will come out. No matter how handsome Feng Jian is, if you don't grasp the shelf structure of words, words won't look good.
Many people will be concerned about "how to practice calligraphy and improve their understanding and mastery of bookshelf structure." Two sharp weapons: practicing calligraphy with plaid. Regular script copybook
First of all, briefly talk about the practice of writing. When practicing calligraphy, try to practice with grid paper. On this point, I should have been taught since I was a child, but unfortunately, I found that many people don't agree. Don't blame your primary school Chinese teacher. They won't tell you because they don't necessarily know; Most of them know that when learning to write in the lower grades of primary school, your handwriting must be "can't exceed this grid". As for why it can't be exceeded, their statement is often "because the grid is there." Even if they know, they only care about the grade ranking of the whole class's Chinese scores, and you only need to know how to write this word, write it like this word, and don't write it repeatedly.
If it weren't for my grandfather's teaching when I was a child, I might not know it until now. The practice grid is only used to limit and facilitate the practice of Chinese character frame structure and its proportion. If it weren't for Mi Zige (or Tian Zige), it wouldn't be useful except to make it easier for teachers to check their homework. With the progress of society, many copybooks have more or less explained this point, and the grids are basically Mi Zige or Tian Zige.
I specially searched a sample of Mi Zige, as shown below. The reason why Mi Zige (Tian Zige) is used to practice Chinese characters is because at first we were not familiar with the structure of the Chinese character bookshelf and the proportion of Chinese characters, and we needed some division assistance. When practicing Chinese characters, it is only a means to improve cognition, and the ultimate goal is to be familiar with and master the frame structure of Chinese characters. Then under the correct cognition, it is completely unnecessary to practice calligraphy. But if you want to use the grid, please use Mi Zige or Tian Zige, even if you will be much slower at first. Be sure to give up the word "mouth" with nothing in it. Please don't dwell on this.
