What if you don't make progress many times?

A problem that almost everyone who studies calligraphy will encounter is that after learning a post many times, it will not improve if you continue to write it. Some people have written it ten times, some people have written it a hundred times, but most of them have to go to this "bottleneck".

I will talk about my personal understanding on the basis of my own experience in studying Yuan Ni's Epitaph, Preface to Saint Education, Fu on the Red Wall, Seventeen Articles, Shu Pu and Cao Quanbei.

I found it much easier when I wrote "Fu on the Red Wall". When I wrote it about ten times, I found the bottleneck. I haven't made any progress in the daily mail, and the fonts in the post are probably familiar. When I approached, I was no longer "looking at it at first". I can probably read two or three words, except for five or six times, I feel great progress, and the next ten times or so are basically the same. That is to say, I entered the bottleneck period, and then I stopped writing temporarily and rummaged through all kinds of ancient book theories, hoping to find a solution. I found a sentence in "Four-body Book Potential" that "the strong win, the weak get sick" and said, "If you use the author's heaven, the beautiful person will also." In addition, there are discussions in the theory of ancient books, such as how wingers win glory and how centers win strength. , is known in the past. Then carefully observing Ode to the Red Wall, I found that there are many details in the copybook, and these details I found again, if there is no guidance of ancient book theory, you really can't find them, especially some twists and turns with pens or many twists and turns, which require me to read the copybook in depth with the ancient method theory, and I feel that I understand. I read Laozi's Tao Te Ching ten years ago, and now I understand that there is a way to persist and it is necessary to follow the trend. Find the laws that naturally exist in calligraphy and be good at mastering them, and you will become an amiable person. This may be what the book says: "Heaven has no relatives, you are always kind." The natural laws of heaven are naturally biased towards those who are good at mastering and understanding the laws!

This is probably the case when writing posts temporarily. I have written 17 posts for more than ten times, and I have reached the same bottleneck. With my previous temporary post "Jide", I naturally have a clear mind and know which aspects are still weak. Naturally, I will continue to apply the unfamiliar calligraphy formula mentioned above, and look for changes in line with the book theory between the lines of the post.

So many times, I feel that I am quite hidebound, but what I lack is that over time, I still need to persist.

In the above post, I summed up some feelings and named it "100 word practice". If you write too much, you will be verbose, and 100 is not bad. The content is roughly like this: stick to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, gather energy, gather spirit, point the brush to be S-shaped, lift difficulties and obstacles, the winger lifts the pen to win glory, and the center lifts the pen to gain strength. If you want to go down first, you want to go right first. Brush strokes are everywhere and need the guidance of famous teachers. You must stick to your post and stick to it.
