Many people choose Tian Yingzhang as their first choice when practicing calligraphy, but there are mixed reviews of Tian Yingzhang on the Internet.
Naturally, many people have their own reasons for looking down on Tian Kai. They say that Tian Yingzhang's calligraphy has no aura and looks like printing, completely saying goodbye to the beauty of calligraphy and so on.
A friend of mine directly replied in my circle of friends: "What Tian writes is not calligraphy." As a person who has practiced Tian Kai at the beginning and practiced some ancient calligraphy at the advanced level, I would like to share my immature feelings. Tian Yingzhang can be practiced and is suitable for beginners.
Just like a child who has just learned to walk, he must be allowed to walk on a flat road first, right? Although the scenery at the top of the mountain is particularly beautiful, if he was asked to climb the mountain from the beginning, he would probably trip over a stone and fall to the ground before he even started, and never want to move forward again.
The same goes for practicing calligraphy. "Huang Ting Jing", "Le Yi Lun", "Li Sao Jing" and "Ling Fei Jing" are all excellent works. Although they are very beautiful, for a beginner, the starting point may be too high. (There are naturally talented masters, and this is beyond the scope of our discussion). Therefore, going from easy to difficult and seeing your own progress step by step is an important psychological construction process for an entry-level calligraphy practitioner. Copybooks suitable for girls to practice calligraphy should have elegant fonts. I recommend the ones designed by our 15 Calligraphy Practice Network.Selected One Hundred Song Poems, the fonts in this set of copybooks are bold yet delicate, pursuing the ultimate perfection of strokes. In fact, fonts are a gradual process of formation. People with a gentle personality will not write overly ostentatious fonts, so as long as you follow the copybook carefully, the words you write will be neat and elegant.
Finally, practicing calligraphy is something that requires long-term practice to see results. Some friends have been practicing for a week and feel that their calligraphy has not improved at all, so they will be disappointed and don't want to practice. This kind of mentality is definitely not good for practice.
First try to calm down and practice for a month, and you will definitely see changes in yourself. From then on, it will be a virtuous cycle of liking it because you are good at it, and being good at it because you like it.
