At least practice more regularly. It is recommended to copy famous calligraphy first, or you can also practice calligraphy first to lay a solid foundation.
The writing posture should be correct. If the posture is not correct, the written words will not be correct; if the eyes are too close to the homework book, it is easy to cause myopia; when doing homework, the body will be hunched over, and the written words will be crooked. Big and small.
First choose your ideal copybook, and consider whether it is similar to the glyphs you write. After you have selected it, read it several times to analyze the key points and structure of the glyphs. This is called "the intention lies in the words first", and then use transparent white paper to trace first, then copy, and memorize the key parts of each word.
The specific steps are described as follows:
Writing posture and holding pen
(1) Sit upright, shoulders flat, back straight, body and head The waist should not be crooked, let alone low; the distance between the eyes and the table should be about one foot, and the distance between the chest and the edge of the table should be about three inches.
(2) Hold the pen straight, and the pen tip should be straight forward, avoid tilting inwards (as long as the palm is flat, the pen tip will naturally move forward); the tip of the index finger should be about one inch from the pen tip. If you hold the pen incorrectly or the tip of the pen is tilted inward, you will not be able to write well, cannot write horizontally, cannot write well, and will not be able to write smoothly. You may even have to move your right hand every time you write a stroke. At the same time, the written lines have no spine and no rhythm, and the glyphs cannot be said to be relaxed and generous.
(3) The inclination of the pen barrel. To write large characters, hold the pen upwards and the inclination of the pen barrel should be slightly larger. To write small characters, hold the pen downwards and the inclination of the pen barrel slightly smaller. The general slope should be at the index finger joint. If it exceeds this position, the strokes written will be either rigid or dull. If the inclination of the pen barrel is inappropriate, the pen speed will be limited, and it will be impossible to write elegant and charming glyphs, so the "tiger's mouth" should not be tilted.
(4) Hold the pen lightly so that you can move the pen freely; if you hold the pen too tightly, your writing will not be broad and generous. According to what I saw during lectures in middle schools, in a class of fifty students, forty-five people held their pens incorrectly or their pen tip was tilted inward. This is also the case in universities. It is for this reason that the characters written by these students are not hooked properly. It looks like a hook, but the 捺 does not look like a 捺. The strokes are all flat and piled up.
As mentioned before, the quality of writing is absolutely related to posture and writing. Just like a carpenter sawing wood, if your posture and holding the saw are not correct, no matter how straight the "line" is, you will saw it crookedly. This is the same as writing good calligraphy.
3. How should the steps of learning calligraphy be arranged?
Answer: Start by learning the basic strokes of regular script, namely dot, horizontal, vertical, left, hold, lift, hook and fold.
A character is like a machine. Practicing the basic strokes is like processing the "parts"; practicing the radicals is like starting the "assembly"; practicing the entire glyph is like entering the "final assembly" . That is to say, learn "decomposition" first, and then learn "coherence". Therefore, regular script is the foundation, and basic strokes are the foundation of the foundation.
When practicing basic strokes, practice them in categories. For example, when practicing writing "丶", you should practice 丶,丿,丶,丨, etc. separately, and then write "continuous" and combine them.
General rules: when practicing regular script, practice basic strokes first; then practice the order of strokes; thirdly, practice radicals; fourthly, practice glyph structure; fifthly, practice branch layout.
The "dots" of Chinese characters should be emphasized when writing, like a stone falling to the ground. What kind of points are needed for what kind of parts, it is necessary to "concentrate on the writing first". For example, the writing method of Zhong Shaojing and Ouyang Xun above "倀" is more powerful when written in short vertical strokes.
4. To learn calligraphy, you must first practice regular script
As we all know, when children start to walk, they must first learn to stand. Only when they stand firm can they learn to walk. When they are familiar with the steps, they can walk quickly. , and then run.
This is the same as the three steps of practicing calligraphy, first practice regular script; then practice Xing; third, practice cursive. Calligraphers of all ages have unanimously maintained that only by practicing regular script well and having a solid foundation will it be easier to write in regular script and cursive script. Only by practicing regular script well can the writing be smooth and the body not fragmented.
If you want to write every word well: you must first master the pen strength. This means that you should use force when making strokes that should be used; when you should not use force, you should use light strokes. For example, if you write the words "国", "红", "真" and "steel", you can clearly distinguish the importance, which will give people a sense of beauty.
Generally speaking, when writing "丶,一,丨,丶(捺)" and other strokes, the strokes should be applied lightly, and other strokes should be lighter. But each stroke in a word cannot be made with force. For example, when writing the words "人,大,天" and other characters, the strokes should be light and the strokes should be heavy. On the contrary, it can be written as "heavy" if the strokes are left, and "light" if the strokes are held back. In short, the force cannot be evenly distributed.
5. Basic strokes are easy to practice. The frame structure seems difficult to say, but in fact it is very easy as long as you find the right method and follow the right path.
For example, after you first practice the basic strokes, you will have basic skills. The method to find the correct way and the right path refers to structurally distinguishing whether it is a single character or a combined character.
If it is a single character, you must grasp the center and center of gravity of the character. For example, the characters "Shang, Xia, Qian, Shi" and other characters are all single characters, so it is necessary to grasp its center of gravity: the horizontal strokes are slightly longer, the vertical strokes are slightly shorter, and the vertical strokes must be centered down (regular script).
If it is a combined character, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is a left-right structure;
Clear these six differences, and then master them according to the definitions and organizational rules of the words. In this way, you can write a perfect and beautiful glyph.
For example: "Hao" and "Mom" belong to the left-right structure; "Xing" and "Su" belong to the upper-lower structure; "Chang" and "Zhang" belong to the upper-middle-lower structure; "Jiang" and "Yi" belong to the half-package structure. Structure; it is easy to distinguish between these different structure definitions.
For example: the two characters "Xing" and "Su" are vertically aligned up and down, pay attention to the center alignment; the character "Changzhang" has a long shape, don't write it too long, just tighten it slightly; the character "Hao Ma" has a left-right structure, with the left side Slightly smaller, slightly larger on the right. As long as the density is properly controlled and the unevenness is orderly, wouldn't it look good? On the contrary, if the font shape is not distinguished, the density is improper, one is wide and the other is narrow, and the weight of the lines is not distinguished, it will be ugly.
6. If you want to write pen calligraphy well, you must first practice brush calligraphy: Because the structure of Chinese characters is exactly the same, but the size of the fonts and writing tools and techniques are different, it doesn’t matter which one you learn first. OK.
When inheriting and copying ancient works, we should strive to be similar in form and spirit, but we should not lose sight of our personal style.
Some people are too mysterious about how to write well, and some people say that good handwriting is innate... In fact, it does not take ten or twenty years to write calligraphy with a brush or a pen. As long as you choose the copybook well, use the right method and persevere, you can achieve results in less than a year.
Some people advocate that to write well with pen calligraphy, you must first practice calligraphy with calligraphy. This is actually not necessary, because you cannot master two calligraphy techniques at the same time in a short period of time.
Writing pays attention to echo. If you want to write vividly, you have to pay attention to the flow of lines and the echo of strokes. There are echoes between strokes, and the beginning and end of sentences also pay attention to echoes. This writing method is to avoid mechanical and stacking phenomena. The "broken pens and connected ideas" we often mention make the movement between the stipples and paintings coherent. This movement is like the movement of a child reaching out to call his mother, and the mother reaching out to pick up the child.
7. Write in principle regardless of the situation.
This is what the contemporary calligrapher Deng Sanmu said, and Mr. Deng makes sense. When writing "horizontal", it should be slightly slanted, with the left side lower and the right side higher. The slope is about 5-7 degrees. Do not go below 5 degrees. No higher than 7 degrees. This is because human eyesight is not balanced. If the "horizontal" drawing is written as straight, then due to the illusion of the two eyes, it will seem that the end of the right end has fallen down, which is very unnatural.
8. When writing basic strokes, you should pay attention
(1) The "point" is as heavy as a stone, broken in shape but connected in meaning;
(2) Write "horizontally" slightly slanted. There are two "horizontal" characters in a word. The upper "horizontal" should be written in an upward posture, and the lower "horizontal" should be written in a downward posture;
(3) "Vertical" should be drawn thick and strong, and should not be written crookedly;
(4) The writing stroke of "Bi" is sharp, and the writing stroke of "捺" is vigorous;
(5) The writing stroke of "Zhe" is slow, while the writing stroke of "Hook" is sharp.
Practice slowly at first and gradually. You must know that in order to achieve success in calligraphy, you must first practice the basic strokes of regular script well, which is the starting point for writing all calligraphy well.
To learn calligraphy, you have to imitate the fonts of the ancients
This is a matter of inheriting tradition. However, times are advancing, things are developing, and various arts always need to be constantly innovated. Therefore, we cannot blindly copy the ancients, but should take their essence.
Chen Hongshou of the Ming Dynasty said: "When you call yourself a scholar, you actually say King Zhong, who is the teacher of the ancients? He picked up the teachings of various schools and created one by himself." Su Shi also mentioned in "Painting Theory": "Create new ideas in the law, and send wonderful principles out of boldness." Wang Xizhi changed the official script to Xingkai and was later called "Sheng of Calligraphy"; Zhang Xu changed Er Wang's Cao Fa to today's Cao. "Grass Saint".
If we follow the ancients and repeat over and over again, thousands of people are one and a thousand words are the same, then we cannot talk about the development of calligraphy art. To break away from the stereotype and create a new look without individual innovation is equivalent to losing its vitality. This is an inevitable trend in the development of both calligraphy styles.
In fact, calligraphy should be practiced from an early age. Although I am only in the second grade of junior high school, I am indeed the best in the class at writing block letters. I remember that when I was in the third grade of elementary school, I started Every winter and summer vacation, I kept tracing the copybook, not only tracing the thin layer of paper on top, but also tracing the printing paper below. I also wrote block letters in the second class. In addition, sitting posture is also very important. . (To be honest, there is no need to practice good calligraphy! If your handwriting is good, people will ask you to do more things. Just like me, I need to do the weekly blackboard newspaper. Although my handwriting is beautiful, I can’t draw well. It’s really not that good. Besides, we are in the 21st century, and computers are used everywhere. Let’s forget about words.)
