Two: How to practice calligraphy

Calligraphy is an art. To practice calligraphy well, we should pay attention to the following points:

(A) establish a correct concept of book learning:

Words can't be built in a day. Practicing words requires hard work, so be prepared and persevere. Don't give up halfway

(2) Choose a suitable writing instrument:

Four Treasures of the Study is a good tool for practicing calligraphy. As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first. If you choose it improperly, it will affect the efficiency and progress of the exercise.

(3) Start with block letters and gradually write:

To practice calligraphy, we should choose an appropriate method, starting with simple block letters and gradually entering the pen. We shouldn't be ambitious, but haste makes waste. Have a good foundation of calligraphy practice.

(D) the choice of stone tablets

The choice of inscriptions is the key to practicing calligraphy well. Only when the master leads the door, and the individual has a good master, can he gradually practice calligraphy and become a master of calligraphy.

Three: Copying copybook method

1: Choose the right copybook.

Copying copybooks is the only way to learn calligraphy, and it is also an effective and good method. There are two kinds of copybooks copied, one is a brush copybook and the other is a pen copybook. When learning pen calligraphy, you should copy the pen copybook, and the effect of copying the brush copybook is also very good. Because most brush copybooks have high artistry, in addition to accurate stippling, clear thickness and clear vein, they also have the advantages of beautiful structure and perfect composition, which is beneficial to beginners' learning. In addition, the brush copybook is rich in varieties and styles, and it is also convenient to choose and use. It's just that the lines of the brush copybook are thicker, but the handwriting of the pen is sharper, so when copying, you should remove its flesh and blood and take its bones and muscles.

2. Copying copybook method

(1) Select a copybook. Choose a copybook with neat stippling and symmetrical structure that you like to copy. If it is a brush copybook, you should choose a copybook with a smaller font, which can save the shrinking time.

(2) Copy first, then copy the combination. When learning Chinese characters, copy first, and then copy the combination. The so-called copying is to put the copybook under a relatively transparent calligraphy paper and use pen-and-ink red according to the words on the copybook. It is required that the handwriting of the pen should not exceed the strokes of the brush, but should be written in the middle of the stippling on the copybook. In this way, over time, it is easy to learn the structure of words in copybooks. The so-called pro is to put the copybook next to the calligraphy paper; Draw a gourd according to the words on the post. It is required that stippling should be written vividly, with light and heavy rhythm and varying thickness. In this way, over time, it is easy to learn the meaning of the words on the copybook. Because copying is more difficult than copying, you must copy before copying. Because copying and copying are two complementary means of learning Chinese characters, it is necessary to combine copying and copying step by step.

(3) Read and paste carefully. Furthermore, read the post carefully before copying. How to stipple the words on the post, how to arrange the structure and how to arrange the rules, we should carefully ponder and find out the rules, so that it is easy to write with interest and well. Don't be greedy when copying, but be quick. Stick to it for an hour or two every day and copy a few words repeatedly, and there will be tangible gains. For words that are difficult to write, we should learn from the difficulties, copy more and compare more.

(4) Besides copying, memorizing, memorizing and using, you should also know how to memorize, memorize and use. Reciting is to write without reading the post, so that you can write the words on the post without reading the post and strive to be beautiful; The core is to check the words written on the back with the words posted. See if there are any mistakes, and be good at finding your own shortcomings and correcting them; Use is practice, applying what you have learned to real life, and consolidating and improving what you have learned in practice.

(5) learn from others. After copying a copybook, you should learn from others and present some other copybooks.
