Accurate copying is a very necessary and key process and link in our study of classic traditions. Only when it is accurate, the "illegitimacy" such as stippling and brushwork will be gradually "corrected", and the previous writing habits will be gradually changed and gradually integrated into the process similar to or the same as the ancient writing methods.
First, the exact copy of Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting.
Accurate copying is a very necessary and crucial step for us to learn the classic tradition. A general introduction can only grasp the general style and appearance of classic models. Once this general appearance becomes a fixed feeling, it will become more experienced and simplified.
And it will lead to the same stylization when copying the classic works of the same style in the future, which will lead to all the classics being unclear, and the copyist can only learn the fur of the classics forever. The precise copy we require is to express the technical characteristics of the original post as accurately as possible, including the various forms of stroke lines and the characteristics of suffix modeling.
The first stroke of the word "Yong" in Nine Years of Yonghe is in the shape of "S", and the strokes are reversed when they are collected in the lower right corner. The last stroke has two strokes and two sharp edges, and then the strokes are reversed instead of simple triangular strokes. There are two spaces in the word "when he is happy with what has happened".
Summary: How to make careful observation, sharp eyes and accurate judgment, so as to achieve the unity of hand and eye, accurately express the observed technical characteristics, and thus achieve the requirements of accurate copying. Of course, accurate copying is not based on the book, but by accurately observing the pen and modeling characteristics of each word, the writing is natural and the technical movements are in place as much as possible.
Second, the accurate reproduction of Huai Su's "self-narrative posts"
The most typical feature of big grass is a book, which is often unpredictable and superb. Some people think that the writing realm of Huai Su's crazy grass can't be imitated, especially the spirit of grass pursued by revealing from rationality to sensibility is even more elusive.
Indeed, what we see in Huai Su, especially in his autobiographical notes, is a kind of media, which is still inseparable from the rational cursive formal language-the form of lines (straight and linear), the form of structure and the form of composition. We can still follow the scientific and standardized copying training procedures. Copying is the only way to get started with any calligraphy style, and Dacao is no exception.
Reason for selecting posts: These three columns, the distribution of arcs and straight lines, the contrast between thin and hard lines and fast and thick lines, and the connection between words are all enough to spy out the richness of Huai Su's cursive techniques.
1, observe the shape of the pen, and observe the pressure lifting feeling corresponding to the pen. A round pen is like the word "year old".
2. Observing the arc radian, the circle in the word "Saint" rotates smoothly in the opposite direction, and attention should be paid to twisting the pen tube to keep the pen tip impartial and flexible, which requires repeated observation and practice.
Arc can be repeated many times to compare with double hook and single hook. Double hooks can feel and experience the details, and can make the line shape three-dimensional. The serrated edge of the line includes the strokes corresponding to the inside and outside of the relief and the sharp corner, so the strokes corresponding to stop, stop and fall can also be judged.
3. The corresponding exercises of straight pen movements, such as the word "grass" is dominated by straight lines, the horizontal and vertical lines of "year old" and the horizontal and vertical lines of "Qi, Da, Zhe and Gu" correspond to the decomposition of pen movements.
4. The accuracy of structural form is based on skillful and accurate line shapes, and it is necessary to actively follow the connection methods between words, such as the distance between upper and lower words, the opening and closing of left and right parts, and the dislocation of upper and lower parts. This requires extremely meticulous and accurate observation and memory.
5. The more detailed the observation of the formal elements of the composition, the more professional the research.
Summary: It is a good way to compare your temporary work with your original post. The stricter the requirements, the more detailed the comparison, and the deeper the understanding of accuracy. Under the strict requirements of accurate copying, through repeated comparison, the corresponding pen action paradigm is gradually established.
