Do you understand "breaking ink" and "moistening books" in calligraphy?

Calligraphy is a treasure of China traditional culture. In our opinion, calligraphy is an elegant thing now, but in ancient times, calligraphy was a very plain thing for them. If they usually write well and methodically, they will form our present calligraphy. Many of us are studying calligraphy now. There are many kinds of calligraphy, each with different skills. At the beginning of learning, it is difficult for everyone to master different skills, so they can only keep practicing. But there are many classifications, all of which belong to China's calligraphy. They all have the same rules and the same skills and methods. In calligraphy, the two rules of breaking ink and moistening books are very important. If you master them well, they will become the soul of your calligraphy and the essence of your whole work, which is where others appreciate them.

First, breaking ink and moistening books is suitable for all kinds of calligraphy. I have read cursive script and regular script, and there is a big difference. The cursive script is mainly casual, and the regular script pays attention to the rules. Their writing methods are completely different, and the teacher must not teach the same writing method. But there is only one soul in calligraphy. Learn calligraphy, and then learn how to break ink and moisten books. Mastering these two methods, both regular script and cursive script can be written well, each with its own characteristics and will not cross each other. ?

Second, it takes a long time to break the ink and moisten the book. Breaking ink is to cover the original traces with new handwriting, so as to form a sharp contrast. Some places have strong colors, while others have dim colors, which creates visual conflicts and brings beautiful artistic effects. Moistening a book means that the pen should be filled with ink, so that the handwriting can be full and not very dry. When the nib is flat on the paper, the nib should not be forked, which is to achieve a good book moistening effect. Mastering these two ways can make your work have a soul.

At present, there are many teachers who teach calligraphy in the market, but the teaching methods are the same, and there are no characteristics. The works written by students are also like assembly line production, without their own emotional color and the essence of calligraphy. This is because some teachers can't teach students well if they don't understand these truths. And some teachers just want students to experience it themselves, and what they experience is their own. So it will point out the students' problems. Not all the people who study calligraphy now are talented, but they are all very smart. Many of them have no way to understand their own problems, which leads to a misunderstanding and will never come out. If we master the broken ink and embellished books in calligraphy, then our works are the icing on the cake and the finishing touch.
