? Introduction to Calligraphy, is it really difficult?
Some people say that learning calligraphy is "difficult to get started". And I have always thought that it is not difficult to learn calligraphy as long as you follow the rules. Calligraphy can be divided into five categories, that is, "true cursive script", which is the "rule" for learners to have a comprehensive understanding of calligraphy art at the initial stage. It also points out that "regular script is like standing", "running script is like walking" and "cursive script is like running". By comparing the image of a person from learning to stand, walking to running at the end, it shows the significance of practicing neat regular script when calligraphy is introduced. In other words, learning calligraphy is like learning to stand, which is a long-term exercise of supporting strength and balance. This is the premise that people can walk and run. Therefore, refining calligraphy from real books, whether it is seal script or seal script in Jin and Tang dynasties, is like a person's knowledge and position, which is the training of basic skills. This is a strength exercise to cultivate the balance and stability of arms, palms and fingers, and it is also an experience of the performance and operation ability of the brush, an artistic tool of brush calligraphy. Only in the "horizontal and vertical" and "twists and turns" emphasized by the "rules" can this kind of introductory kung fu be exercised in all directions, written well and written on paper.
Personally, for ordinary people who study calligraphy, it is an authentic traditional learning method that people who write and learn calligraphy should follow, and it is also a more scientific and correct entry method. Especially young people. Like Mi, Su, Huang and Zhao in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people of all factions can enjoy their calligraphy works in their spare time, and learn some advantages from stippling, structure and theory to enrich themselves. Personally, it is not advisable to make calligraphy an introduction, because this kind of "personality" is so flamboyant that it is impossible to make a decision. Many times, people who practice calligraphy will forget the original intention of learning calligraphy and degenerate into "impatience"
? Calligraphy should be treated as a great architectural project, and it should be done seriously and methodically. If you don't follow the "rules", bridges and residential buildings will collapse. China "Calligraphy Association", that is, Calligraphers Association, is now called "Calligraphy Association" on the Internet. Aren't they the so-called "masters" and "tutors" who mess up the "regular" calligraphy? Since there is a saying that seal script is really cursive, it is because there are fixed aesthetic standards and certain boundaries between these five calligraphy styles. Otherwise, what's the point of making such a classification? Moreover, this is also learning calligraphy. It is not difficult to get started, and you can know it in a few times. So when it comes to learning calligraphy, the author always insists that as long as you find the rules and then follow them, it is really not difficult to get started, and you can get started in three weeks or even two months. Isn't that what the so-called "in a word, a hundred days' work" means? Therefore, I solemnly tell the vast number of calligraphy lovers who like calligraphy that learning calligraphy began with two famous calligraphers in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, Ou, Yan and Liu. These famous artists Fa Tie entered Wang Xizhi's Yue Lun Yi, Ou Yangxun's Jiucheng Palace Monument, Yan Zhenqing's Duo Pagoda Monument and Liu Gongquan's Mysterious Pagoda Monument, and then began to stipple. After a long time, when you can reveal your "academic school" with a pen, you will think the author's statement is true.
It is not difficult to learn calligraphy, but it is difficult to get started. After getting started, I still keep my original intention, persevere, strive for perfection, follow the rules, innovate, follow the rules, stick to the foundation of one family, learn from others' strengths, integrate and optimize the combination, and write something refreshing, colorful and pleasing to the eye, which can touch and shock others' hearts to a certain extent. This is the hardest thing to do. Learning books, starting from the "regular script" in Jin and Tang Dynasties, is it really more difficult to get started than building aircraft cannons? ! The answer is, of course, yes. Don't let those "lies" that like to "convey false information, echo others' opinions and confuse others" confuse yourself. What these people say will only mislead others and themselves in the end. You will eventually lose yourself. I also confused myself with my own remarks. This is the final result of the contemporary "Ugly Book" and "Jianghu Style" writing test.
Whether writing, writing, writing or doing things, a person should take the attitude of "being responsible for others, being responsible for himself and being responsible for society" and do everything from the heart, so as to help others and at the same time improve himself by "reviewing the past and learning new things". From the heart, for your reference.
