On the practice of writing brush calligraphy

Regular script should be carefully written by three schools, each with its own characteristics.

It's best to practice face painting first (it's good for mastering the performance of the brush, especially for children), and choose the Xuan pen "Dahejing" (sold in Chuanbaozhai, Wuhu City, the current price is eight yuan), which is moderate in hardness and should be a double-open brush with three colors and seven points. The price is low, and it can be used for one year when learning Chinese characters (it is easier for students not to hang their elbows, which will hurt the strokes and shorten the use time). By the way, ink is "Wenyuan Pavilion Ink". Ink should be mixed with water. When writing, don't directly inject water into the ink, but put a glass of water beside the inkstone and write while stirring. Regular script is mixed with water, 1 bottle of ink can be used as one and a half bottles, running script should be lighter, and one bottle of ink can be used as two bottles. So the first stage is color body.

The second stage, and then into the willow. The general rules of the Tang Dynasty were obtained, but the fonts were not regular enough (it is very important that the six-body is the structural rule of Chinese characters, and the basic rules are of great benefit to learning all kinds of fonts well! Later, we should specifically summarize the rules of the structure of Liu's regular script. ) Improve the quality of strokes, focusing on Shu Feng's strokes (see the book Comparison of European Regular Script Techniques edited by Ouyang Hengzhong, Guangxi Fine Arts Publishing House, 1997 edition). Liu Gongquan studied the brushwork of past dynasties, and once he learned it thoroughly, he could use the brushwork of Fiona Fang, Qianzhongbian, Zhuanli and Wissing, so he had to be prepared.

Or if you want to cross Liu style (because the word Liu is difficult to learn), you can practice "multi-tower" and practice fine print directly, which can correct the structure and strive for stability and punctuality. But what is easy to write has not changed, and it seems plain and tacky.

In the third stage, re-enter Europe and Chu, seeking its precipitous change. Compared with willow trees, Europe is moving from stability to change. Europe is a big structure, seeking stability in structural risks. It is completely different from willow and has its own advantages. However, only on the basis of Liu's summary of the model structure law can we understand the European character. In the comparative summary of the two, we can gain a lot from the structure.

On the basis of Liu Zi, writing about Europe can be effective. Mr. Liu Xiaoqing's brushwork of writing face is Liu's brushwork, which can be repeated with reference to his videos, and the effect is obvious.

So far, more than half of the problems in calligraphy techniques of the three Tang families have been basically solved. Yan Zi solved the problems of strokes and Chinese characters writing, Ou Zi solved the structural techniques of side, middle and small letters, and Liu Zi summarized the basic results of Chinese characters. What's important is that if the three European schools are highly respected by teachers, each has its own outstanding achievements, and the foundation of calligraphy has already been laid, then it is necessary to learn the methods of writing, and the three schools should not be neglected.

Writing Chu characters in Preface to Lanting Collection hides the mystery of Lanting. Why don't we start from Zhao Mengfu to running script? Zhao's handwriting is very charming and good, but it is vulgar to learn, and some calligraphers also say that he has a heavy habit. Not suitable for beginners.

The above is my personal experience and thinking about learning books and learning from each other.
