How to practice brush calligraphy
Everyone has heard of step-by-step teaching. In fact, the word "hand-in-hand" was originally used to vividly describe the method of teaching calligraphy. When a child is sensible, the most respected adult in the family will help the child to place the five fingers properly, then hold the child's hand firmly and write the words one by one. During the writing process, the child's hands should be completely relaxed and the adults should be responsible for exerting force; the children should concentrate on feeling each stroke and how it should be used to write. When it comes time to actually start reading and literacy, teachers at the school will still use this step-by-step practice method to enlighten students to familiarize them with calligraphy.
Different from our daily study of knowledge such as geometry and geology, the study of calligraphy places more emphasis on the acquisition of motor skills. Therefore, throughout the learning process, more emphasis is placed on getting demonstrations and repeated practice. The advantage of step-by-step teaching is that it allows children to deeply understand the correct action images, and it can teach children extremely finely and efficiently how to hold the pen, how to use the pen, and how to deal with different strokes. This kind of learning method can save you a lot of detours compared to the wild way.
A few suggestions for friends who want to practice calligraphy:
1. Holding a pen
Since there are no parents to teach handwriting, let’s first talk about how to hold a pen.
1.1 Misunderstanding: Holding the pen too hard
Before learning to write, many friends have heard words such as "penetrating through the back of the paper" and "penetrating into the wood three-thirds" to describe the powerful writing, so they preconceptions. It is natural to think that when writing, you should hold the pen firmly and firmly. Because the pen is held too hard, the writing will be inflexible and difficult, and the written words will appear stiff and devoid of spirituality. This misunderstanding is so widespread that famous calligraphers as far away as the Eastern Jin Dynasty were hacked. When Wang Xianzhi was young, he learned from his father, Wang Xizhi, and then from Zhang Zhi. It is said that Xizhi once pulled out his pen from behind to test his writing power and sighed: "He will be famous again from now on!" It can be seen that Wang Xizhi had high hopes for him very early. In fact, friends who have studied junior high school physics should know that when your fingers hold a pen, they only provide pressure on the pen barrel. In the direction perpendicular to the paper, this pressure only affects the maximum static friction of the fingers against the pen. force. As for the static friction force of the pen, it is enough as long as the combined forces of the gravity of the pen and the elastic force of the paper facing the pen cancel each other out. No matter how hard a person holds the pen, it will not affect the stress on this vertical surface. To put it simply, as long as your hand can hold the pen, no matter how tight you hold it, it will not affect the pen movement. Instead, the muscle tension will affect the smoothness of the pen movement. The looser the grip on the pen, the more vivid the writing will be.
1.2 Correct way of holding pen Five-finger pen-holding method
In the past, calligraphers had written instructions on five-finger pen-holding, but they were relatively unintuitive, so they will not be repeated. If this static picture doesn't make you understand how to hold a pen, you can drag it to the back later to watch a video of how a calligrapher holds a pen when writing. What I want to explain here is that it is normal for the pen to swing left and right during the writing process, but it should not be tilted or tipped to one side.
1.3 The larger the word, the higher the pen should be.
The position of the pen is related to the size of the written word. Generally speaking, the larger the word, the wider the range of the pen. The bigger the pen is, the higher it should be.
Generally speaking, for characters of the same size, the writing position of running script is higher than that of regular script, and the writing position of cursive script is higher than that of running script. Just like holding chopsticks, the higher you hold the chopsticks, the wider the swing range; but it is also harder to control. Therefore, the writing position needs to be determined based on the font type and size.
When the writing position is low, the wrist can rest on the paper; when the writing position is slightly high, the wrist should rest on the back of the left hand; when the writing position is high, the wrist should leave the table and the elbow supports the edge of the table to write; if the writing position is higher, the wrist should be hanging to write .
2. The Four Treasures of the Study To avoid bad pen-using habits, you need to choose writing utensils carefully
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Before getting serious about writing, find out what stationery suits you best. When we don’t have a deep understanding of calligraphy, it’s not easy to buy high-quality stationery; but the right stationery can really help us effectively practice our correct writing habits. Otherwise, using some tools that are not suitable for you will only make you develop wrong habits; muscles have a very strong memory for these wrong habits, and it will take more time to correct them than to learn them from scratch. Calligraphy stationery was called the Four Treasures of the Study in ancient times, which refers to: pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Next, I will introduce to you how beginners should choose their own four treasures of study, so that everyone can get started as soon as possible.
2.1 Brushes
2.1.1 The standards for brushes are sharp, even, round and strong;
There are four standards for qualified brushes: "sharp", "even" ”, “round” and “healthy” are collectively called the four virtues of the pen. The tip of the tip finger must be sharp in order to write fine dots and changes in strokes; the Qi finger brush is flush when spread out, and the hair color is relatively uniform and neat, ensuring the weight and weight of the strokes are even; the round finger brush looks like when it is full of ink It is conical and feels round and full, which reflects the ink storage ability of the brush. When the ink is stored enough, the strokes will be full and powerful, which can avoid improper whitening. The key refers to the elasticity of the pen tip. Good elasticity allows the pen to perform freely.
2.1.2 Classification of brushes: It is better to use hard or mixed brushes
From the brush point of view, brushes are roughly divided into three types: hard brushes, soft brushes and mixed brushes. Common hard hairs on the market are mostly made of weasel hair or rabbit hair, which are called "wolf hair" and "purple hair" respectively. It has enough elasticity but slightly poor ink storage efficiency. You need to control the amount of ink absorbed before you can use it freely. Ruanhao is mostly made of wool, which is soft and round. High-quality soft pen has strong ink storage capacity and rich expressive power; inferior quality can be infinitely worse. Jianhao often has soft hair as the core, and hard hair is long and covered with it. Take advantage of the elasticity of hard filament and the ink storage of soft filament. The best quality is both good and bad, and the bad quality is both bad and bad.
2.2 The ink has no sediment residue, writing is smooth, the ink color is uniform, and the smell is fragrant;
Ink tablets and ink can be used. From the perspective of ease of use, it is recommended to use it when starting practice. Inky. There is a huge difference in performance between good ink and poor ink. Ink suitable for normal use must at least have no sediment residue, write smoothly, have uniform ink color, and have a fragrant smell*** This is a must. Smelly ink usually means that it has deteriorated and has accumulation of putrefactive bacteria. Long-term use will damage the brush* **
2.3 Raw Xuan paper
In terms of production technology, there are two types of rice paper. One is raw Xuan paper. It is not processed by alum during the production process. It has strong water absorption and can To dissolve ink; one is called Shuxuan, which is made by adding alum. It has a hard texture and is relatively difficult to dissolve into ink. Generally speaking, when writing, use Shengxuan. Every detail of the strokes will be multiplied in effect under Shengxuan, who is good at converting ink. Every hesitation, cowardice in writing, unclear pauses, sloppy writing, and perfunctory work will be fully exposed on this piece of paper. Therefore, the shortcomings of the writer's writing process can be clearly exposed. Beginners may fail to handle the details in their own writing. If they use ordinary paper, they may not be able to see these shortcomings in the writing process and form bad habits for a long time. Similarly, formal works should also be created using rice paper, which can create the artistic effect of "house leak marks" with dense ink.
2.4 Inkstone
Friends who use ink, please don’t buy an inkstone. Just buy a soy sauce dish. Really
3. Lin Tie Ancient Regular Script Tie from the Tang Dynasty
If you want to learn calligraphy seriously, it is recommended to start practicing with regular script. There are two reasons: 1. Regular script is more common in daily life. I used regular script when I was learning calligraphy in school since I was a child. 2. The more important reason is that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, regular script developed independently from official script. The upper part inherited the official script, and the lower part made it easier for us to master running script, which is similar to regular script but has more complex and changeable techniques. Once you master regular script, you can basically master the brush writing techniques, which will be of great benefit to learning other calligraphy styles. It is recommended that beginners should start with Linkai calligraphy and ancient calligraphy. Regular calligraphers from the Tang Dynasty are preferred.
