Calligraphy can not only cultivate our sentiment and perseverance, but also prolong life. Practicing calligraphy is also very helpful to our health. The process of practicing calligraphy, just like practicing Tai Chi, can make our blood and breath smoother.
It is said that most people who practice calligraphy live a long life. Liu Gongquan, a calligrapher in Tang Dynasty, lived to be 87 years old, Wen Zhiming, a calligrapher in Ming Dynasty, and Qi Gong, a contemporary calligrapher, lived to be 93 years old.
We often say what we say, and we all want to leave a good impression on others. However, due to the extensive use of typing keyboards, we have lost many opportunities to practice handwriting, so it is becoming more and more important to write beautiful words.
Many friends are faced with the problem that they want to practice good handwriting, but they are worried about how to practice good-looking handwriting.
I like calligraphy since I was a child. I have won some prizes in school and society. When I was in college, I was the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and I also worked as a calligraphy teacher in the calligraphy training center. Therefore, I still have some experience in practicing calligraphy.
Now I will sum up my experience in practicing calligraphy and share with you my experience in the process of practicing calligraphy, which may be helpful for you to practice a beautiful calligraphy.
First, cultivate interest.
Everyone knows that interest is the greatest teacher, but what can really be done is actually very few.
It is a long process to practice good handwriting, and it is difficult to practice well without interest. Even if you have started practicing, if you are not interested, you won't stick to it for long.
For example, if you are not interested in English, no matter how others tell you to learn English well, it is simply torture for you.
You can cultivate your interest in calligraphy. You can think about the benefits of practicing calligraphy, find some fonts or videos you like, or look at interesting stories of famous calligraphers practicing calligraphy. I can even think about it. I can teach children after I learn well.
Second, pay attention to the method of holding the pen.
Whether you hold the pen correctly or not will have different effects on the words we write and will affect our strength. Many people can't write a pen, and a big reason is related to holding a pen.
The correct way to hold the pen is to place the pen holder between the thumb, middle finger and forefinger, with the forefinger in front and the thumb behind the side. The forefinger presses the pen tip 3cm, and the pen holder is at an oblique angle of 60 degrees with the front face.
The following is an 8-point detailed introduction about holding a pen that I found online:
Third, pay attention to the choice of tools.
When you start practicing calligraphy with Peninsula, you can practice calligraphy with pencils, pens, etc. Instead of pens and ballpoint pens. It is not easy for a novice pen to open a slave, and a ballpoint pen is too slippery to write a good stroke.
The choice of copybook is also very important. Choosing a good famous copybook is the basis of practicing hard pen.
Many people don't know how to choose copybooks, so that the copybooks they buy have no effect on themselves. A good copybook should have an introduction to the specific methods of practicing calligraphy, including how to write a pen, how to start and close a pen, and what to pay attention to.
I saw some copybooks, all of which were Chinese characters, and there was no introduction to practicing basic strokes. For a beginner, this is just a vague concept.
We can choose Mi Zige or Jiugongge as calligraphy exercise books for copybooks, which can ensure that our calligraphy will not be distorted too much. If you use white paper, it is easy for words to become crooked when writing, and the size of words is difficult to control.
Fourth, cultivate observation.
Observation is very important for practicing Chinese characters well. Therefore, we should read more posts, stick to them and cultivate our observation sensitivity.
Have the ability to imitate at first, don't judge to write by feeling. I used to write according to my own subjective feelings for a long time, so that I haven't made much progress.
Whether a word looks good or not depends mainly on its structure and shape. The outline of characters is like trapezoid, square, rectangle, diamond and circle. As long as you look carefully, you will find that they will have different shapes.
Besides learning to observe the shape of characters, we should also learn to observe the thickness, direction and length of strokes of characters. The shape of the word just mentioned is a macro, which is the whole of the word. In addition to the whole, we also need to look at the details of the word, that is, the stroke thickness, direction and length of the word.
Fifth, pay attention to the amount of practice
Don't be greedy for too many words every time you practice. Although the amount is large, the effect will not be great. It's just a waste of time. On the contrary, we must first break through one by one, word by word. In this way, it will soon be integrated and the effect will be better than writing dozens of words at a time. The quantity is small, but the quality.
Sixth, insist.
No matter what you do, persistence is a very important condition.
Needless to say, persistence is essential if you want to practice hard pen. Since you want to practice hard pen, you must make up your mind to make a good writing plan every day. Even if you can spare an hour to practice writing every day, you can find your progress in a month.
It takes a process to practice calligraphy. As long as everyone can master the correct methods and keep training, everyone will be able to practice beautiful calligraphy.
Take out your actions! If my experience can help you, it will be my happiest thing.
