Although regular script is not the earliest font used in history, it has become favored by modern people after a long evolution of writing. During the summer vacation, I started copying the "Ling Fei Sutra". After copying, my parents both said that the fonts were more graceful, breaking away from the formal sense of the earliest facial expressions and becoming more flexible. "Ling Fei Jing" has been passed down to this day as a model of lower regular script, and it is a good choice for beginners to learn lower regular script.
Lingfei Jing is the name of a Taoist scripture, which mainly explains the method of meditation. "Hanwu Neizhuan" states that this sutra is used to ask for fortune and fortune, to live forever, to drive all spirits, and to serve ghosts and gods. "Lingfei Jing" is one of the famous regular scripts of the Tang Dynasty. Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty thought it was written by Zhong Zhong and Shao Jing of the Tang Dynasty, but Mr. Qi Gong believed that it was only written by an unknown person. Zhong Shaojing, courtesy name Keda, was from Ganzhou, Qianzhou. The two kings of calligraphy, Chu and Xue, were famous calligraphers at that time. They studied calligraphy from Xue Ji, a great master of the early Tang Dynasty, and got the essence of Xue's and called themselves a school. He is also a collector and has a personal collection of hundreds of volumes of original works by famous artists. "Ling Fei Sutra" has round and vigorous writing style and exquisite font. Later generations often used this as a model when they first learned Xiaokai.
"Lingfei Jing" belongs to the sutra-writing style. This style of calligraphy was born before the invention of printing. At that time, classics, documents and other materials were copied by special persons, forming a unique style. Since the copying content is represented by scriptures, it is called sutra writing style.
"Ling Fei Jing" has the legacy of the Six Dynasties scriptures, with thick vertical strokes and relatively flat knots.
The text is closely spaced and the line spacing is wide. Tuck in and spread out, with more space around the words.
Linting is the key to practicing calligraphy well. Here I recommend the version I use myself, "Tang Lingfei Jing and its Calligraphy" by Xiling Seal Society. For beginners, the explanation of calligraphy will make your calligraphy practice more effective with half the effort. A clear explanation can give you a good understanding of the subtleties of this font or this copybook, thus avoiding many detours.
Timing and quantification are also an important factor for practicing calligraphy.
The most important thing when practicing calligraphy is to have a certain feel. If you want to maintain such a feel, you must practice calligraphy every day. Practicing calligraphy is a process that accumulates over time, so please stick to it. In fact, I am ashamed to say that I did not insist on practicing calligraphy, so I suffered a serious decline for a period of time. One page or half a page a day, and you can take a break after practicing. This will ensure the feel of the hand and will not make you feel disgusted with practicing calligraphy. There are many repeated words in this copybook, so daily practice can save a lot of time.
As a student of the Chinese Department, I have a habit of translating ancient characters in ancient books into commonly used characters today. I feel that since I am copying a post, I need to understand what he means. Therefore, I will write the editor's note on the side. I think this is the real reading of the post. Reading posts is also an important part of calligraphy practice. Reading posts is also a good choice when you don’t want to practice calligraphy. Of course, there is an essential difference between reading posts and reading posts. Reading posts requires feeling with your heart.
