This is countless times, right? Trial and error correction? In this process, it is impossible for any copy 100% to approach the original post. It can be said that any copy is a gift. The real shape exists in the ideal. The greatest significance of copying is to achieve a writing state and psychological state close to the ancients by accurately repeating the writings of the ancients, and the depth of entering the ancients depends on this.
Therefore, it is very important and necessary to look at words realistically. Without realistic brushwork imitation, it is impossible to understand the writing situation and psychological state of the ancients. Just can't go to ancient times. It is another matter that the past is not what it should be. Therefore, the so-called fake imitation is also necessary, at least as a means to test the writer's ability.
? God? It doesn't exist. Any god is attached to the basic form of matter. There is no copy with similar spirit but different form, but there is a copy with good spirit even though the form is not similar (successful intentions in history have done this). Analysis shows that gods with different effects correspond to different shapes. What do you usually think? Like a soul but not like a shape? It's just the reader's mistake and psychological identity.
Shape does not refer to the surface, but to zombies, with flesh, tendons, blood and so on. If you touch it well, you should come out and God will have it. Equating position with spirit is an ancient description, which is meaningful, but not necessarily accurate.
Generally used in copying? Form-spirit? The concept of duality can only aim at a vague general direction, which is the description of calligraphy determined by the way of thinking of China people. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it is misled by this concept. It is the incompetence of language, and there is no way. In the concrete application of this concept, there are still many contents that need to be supplemented to enrich.
The best things in ancient times or traditions are concentrated in classical calligraphy. No matter before, now or in the future, the beautiful things in human spiritual life are all there. Modern people are good at exaggerating some feelings, thinking that it is the modern spirit, worshiping it and engaging in some artistic rebellion, which really embodies the modern spirit, but it is doubtful whether the significance and value of this modern spirit can stand the test of time. Human beings are small, and its real respect value may not be much, and this value may not exist in the present or the future, or it may exist in the past. Therefore, in a sense, our respect for the past is a return to the true meaning of mankind and a kind of religious worship. As for other issues such as creativity, it becomes meaningless.
The starting point of creating a calligrapher's program or learning history must be daily writing, with the technical accumulation of daily writing in the middle, and finally the daily writing reaches a high artistic level, which is the level reached by calligraphers in past dynasties.
The question now is how to reach that level. Copying is probably the only way to solve this problem in calligraphy activities now. (I don't know if the ancients thought so, but the problem situations copied by the ancients are definitely different from those we face, and the problem situations of each era are different. It is of great significance to study the ancient copying problem. What kind of copying method can be the most effective? I think this is our focus.
After 20 years of teaching accumulation, Gome has gradually formed a set of effective methods, and anyone who studies in Gome will be integrated into this technical context. Maybe it's because there are too many talents, which makes people admire. In fact, it also proves that studying in Gome for several years is worth studying in society for decades. But once everything develops into a pattern, it will gradually expose bad tendencies. Gome now seems to give people the feeling that it is using that assembly line to cultivate more and more writing tools, and it is becoming more and more prosperous. Personality is giving way to * * * (mainly the uniqueness of learning style is being eroded), which may be the result of anything under any system. In the end, all academic schools in history turned from revolution to conservatism and rigidity.
I don't know whether foreigners see form or spirit. But the form of calligraphy comes from a kind of aesthetic feeling and psychological isomorphism that is connected with people's hearts, and the classics of all ages are the accumulation result of this kind of thing. It's also good to talk about technology and rhythm. It's a matter of speed. Whether the shape is accurate is an extremely important link, and most people don't pay attention to it. If you copy, it depends on what you are facing. It's different. Treat it individually and choose according to your own temperament. Generally speaking, as a teenager, the sooner the better. Life can only be reflected if you are quick (that is, your head is easy to use and your hands are obedient). The standard is to complete the most difficult action in the shortest time. If you want such interesting training, of course you should be slow. You can slow down when you get older. I doubt that people who can't write fast when they are young can write well when they are old, and I doubt that people who are still trying to write fast when they are old can write well. I wonder if you agree?
On the faithfulness of reproduction. No one doubts the general appearance requirements. Because people are used to it? Inheritance = innovation? 、? Ancient and modern? , since the ancients? Dualism may always reflect on the degree of realism when thinking about problems. What is imitation, and to what extent? The answer will vary from person to person. For example, Weng Zhifei's copywriting is considered very old, others doubt his creation, and worry that he is too old, and if he continues, he will be a slave and cannot find himself. But he himself thinks that it is still the basic stage, and it is still far from it. This disagreement is very interesting.
I attach great importance to Weng Zhifei because of his unique way of thinking and feelings. Besides, he walked more thoroughly than others on the road to ancient times, which not only refers to his calligraphy, but also his whole mentality, which can be seen from his intentional rejection of some modern things. He is more thorough than others because he dares to put out his own fire resolutely and put it to death. Entering ancient times has become a matter of self-discipline for him. Others are worried about losing themselves, and he is afraid of having himself. He never pays attention to what ordinary people think. These questions may be meaningless to him, perhaps he thinks more clearly than anyone else. His focus is simple: learn from Zhao Ziang, write more letters, get a good pen and find some suitable tools. The simplest, most basic and most common problems in the eyes of ordinary people are serious and fundamental problems in his view. And he can keep deepening these problems.
