1. An Introduction to China's Calligraphy

Several points to pay attention to when practicing Chinese characters at first: (You need to learn the structure of Chinese characters for a while) 1 Keep your posture straight, put your feet flat on the ground, put your hands on the case, put your shoulders flat, keep your back straight, keep your head straight, and keep your eyes on the paper.

Hold the pen with your hands, hold the pen with your fingers, and lift the pen with your wrists. I began to practice calligraphy and pillow my wrist, and gradually raised my wrist and lowered my wrist.

Three strokes should be distinguished, generally divided into Fang Bi and round pen, and the application parts of the center, flank and lying in front should also be clear. Regular script is the basis of learning China's calligraphy.

Learn regular script first, then running script, and finally cursive script. You can learn from Weibei first.

Don't be clear at a glance when posting, read the post first, understand the main points thoroughly, and then write a word at one go. First of all, we should practice all kinds of radicals well, and then it is easy to form all kinds of words later.

2. How to practice brush calligraphy? I just started practicing calligraphy. I don't know where to start first and what to buy first.

The "brush character" mentioned here refers to the brush character written according to the traditional statutes, rather than the character written casually with a brush.

It is the first stage of learning calligraphy. How to write China's calligraphy well is a very complicated and specific problem, which cannot be thoroughly explained in a thousand words. This paper only puts forward some basic essentials of writing China's calligraphy conceptually.

If you want to write China's calligraphy well, you must master the brushwork and calligraphy. The first is writing.

Su Dongpo said: "There is no fixed way to put pen to paper, but it should be open-minded." This paper introduces the commonly used "five-finger pen holding method": that is, hold the pen holder with the fingertips of thumb and forefinger (appropriate height) to ensure that the pen holder does not fall off; The middle finger is placed on the outside of the pen under the index finger, which not only strengthens the power of the index finger to pinch the pen, but also plays the role of hooking the pen in; When the nail of the ring finger touches the inside of the pen, it plays the role of pushing the pen outward; The little finger is attached to the lower part of the finger belly of the ring finger to help the ring finger push the pen outward.

When holding a pen, as the ancients said, it is convenient to carry a pen. When learning books, you should often practice holding the pen, returning the hook, pushing out and rotating the pen holder (plus the role of the wrist) and drawing straight lines and arcs.

The level of writing and whether to hang your wrist or elbow depends on the size of the written words. Small print low, wrist pillow. Hold high the big characters and hang your wrists; No matter how big you are, you need to hang your elbow. Calligraphy is a line plastic arts.

The so-called brushwork is mainly about how to shape ideal lines (stippling). News.

When the pen is pressed, the strokes are thick, and when it is lifted, it is thin. Just like a person's walking feet, one falls and the other rises, constantly alternating, and the pen keeps pressing in the process of writing.

Only in this way can lines with different thicknesses be produced. Every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: input, writing and receiving.

There is a method of "exposing the front" to make the pen tip sharp or square; There is a method of "hiding the front", in which the front enters the pen, the horizontal painting wants to be straight first, and the vertical painting wants to be down first, so that the front of the pen is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically round. Learn to "use the pen from the middle" when writing, so that the front tip often runs in the middle of the strokes.

In order to make strokes more powerful, we should learn to use the pen unsmiling, leaving lines in the middle and lines in the middle to avoid glitz. There are "exposed front" (the pen is gradually lifted off the paper, drawing a sharp point, such as hanging the needle vertically, skimming, pressing and hooking) and "hidden front" (the pen tip is retracted into the painting, such as hanging vertically, and the pen tail is round).

Knot is also called knot structure or shelf structure. Mr. Qi Gong once pointed out that to write a brush, it is necessary to grasp the structure of the pen holder and practice the characteristics of strokes.

Frame structure is more important than stippling. Words with good spacing are not prominent in stroke characteristics and pleasing to the eye; Not the other way around.

Therefore, it is very important to study and master the structural rules of words carefully. The so-called "beginner distribution, but seeking fairness".

Learning to write should start with regular script or official script. After mastering all kinds of brushwork, you will have the foundation to learn other calligraphy styles.

Sticking is a necessary means to practice good handwriting. If you don't stick to your post, you can't write it yourself

Learning to write Chinese calligraphy requires perseverance, perseverance, arrogance and rashness, and it can't get cold all at once. People often say: "As long as you work hard, the iron pestle is ground into a needle".

As long as you stick to the law of learning, you will certainly learn something.

3. How to practice the basic skills of brush calligraphy?

First, step by step Generally speaking, starting with strokes is more in line with the learning law; In the process of learning radicals and structures, we can further master the writing of strokes.

As far as the size of words is concerned, learn to write big characters first, and then learn to write small ones. Learning to write in block letters first has three advantages: 1, and block letters are thick and long. When writing, the steps of starting, writing and receiving are obvious, easy to understand and suitable for practice. If there is a sick pen, it is clear at a glance and easy to correct.

2, learn to write big characters first, which is conducive to exercising wrist strength and arm strength. 3. First learn to write the structure in block letters, and after mastering the basic rules of the structure, it is not difficult to narrow down the scope.

If you write in lower case first, it is easy to form the habit of formality, and if you enlarge it, you can't write well. Second, we must persevere.

Third, we should work hard outside the words.
