A copybook suitable for girls to practice. If necessary, you can add Xiaomo WeChat below to learn more about Hairpin Flower Xiaokai.
With the continuous improvement of living standards, female friends are more and more interested in cultivating their moral character and improving their temperament. Therefore, the number of female calligraphy students is growing. Let’s take a look at girls writing calligraphy. How beautiful is it?
For example, sweet, the writing is like this:
The academic goddesses are intellectually beautiful:
Literary young girls have better writing temperament:
The charming little girl in the city makes people admire her with admiration:
Of course, there is also a mature elder sister with unique charm:
Therefore, some book friends often ask us: What font is more suitable for girls to practice, or what kind of copybooks should girls learn to learn calligraphy? In response to this issue, Shusi below summarizes Qiming’s teacher’s views and puts forward some experience summaries for the reference of girls who want to learn brush calligraphy.
Since it is learned by girls, it should be in line with the temperament of women. Some people may say that there are no genders in learning to write. Can't it just be based on preference? In fact, there are differences in preferences between men and women. Different genders often have different aesthetic pursuits. For example, most boys think that men should be masculine, while girls are required to be gentle. Yin and yang, hardness and softness are actually aesthetic terms commonly used by us Chinese.
▲Masculine beauty——Kung Fu King Bruce Lee
▲The beauty of masculinity - "The Statue of Yang Big Eye" from the Northern Wei Dynasty
▲The beauty of femininity——Yang Liping’s peacock dance
Therefore, most of the calligraphy copybooks recommended here are those of the delicate and graceful school, mainly seal script, official script, running script, and regular script. Regular script also includes small regular script. Cursive script is not recommended for the time being. Let’s take a look at these copybooks below.
1. First, let’s talk about the ancient style of fonts—Zhuan style. I personally recommend Li Si’s small seal scripts, such as "Yishan Stone Carvings".
▲Li Si’s Xiaozhuan work “Stone Carvings on Mount Yi”
2. Then we talk about modern body
There are many classic copybooks in Jin style that are suitable for girls to learn. Let's talk about official script first. Qiming thinks "Cao Quan Bei" is very good, with a beautiful and elegant style.
▲Official script "Cao Quan Stele"
Then talking about regular script, I recommend "Zhang Heinv's Epitaph" and "Dong Meiren's Epitaph". Compared with the more majestic "Zhang Menglong Stele" and "Yang Dayan Statue", these two epitaphs are much more delicate.
▲"Zhang Heinv's Epitaph"
▲"Epitaph of Dong Meiren"
Among the four masters of regular script, Yan Liu, Ou, and Zhao Li, Qiming recommended Ouyang Xun's "Yu Gonggong Stele", Zhao Mengfu's "Dengba Stele" and "Three Gates".
▲Ouyang Xun's "Monument of Yu Gonggong"
▲Zhao Mengfu's "Dengba Monument"
▲Zhao Mengfu's "Three Gates"
For running script copybooks, I recommend Ouyang Xun's "Thousand-Character Essay in Running Script". Of course, after you get better, you can try "Lanting Preface" by Wang Xizhi.
▲Ouyang Xun's "Thousand-Character Essay in Running Script"
▲Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface"
Finally, there is the lower regular script. In fact, Qiming has previously published "Ten Types of Classic Lower Regular Copybooks (with high-definition download of the lower regular script copybooks)". Here Qiming lists out the ten classic lower regular script copybooks that are basically suitable for girls to practice. We recommend Wang Xianzhi's "Luo Shen Fu" , Zhao Mengfu's "Tao Te Ching", Wen Zhengming's "Li Sao Jing", Zhong Shaojing's "Ling Fei Jing".
▲Wang Xianzhi's "Luo Shen Fu"
▲Zhao Mengfu's "Tao Te Ching"
▲Wen Zhengming's "Li Sao Jing"
▲Zhong Shaojing's "Ling Fei Sutra"
The above are the classic copybooks suitable for girls to learn. Of course, this is just a personal suggestion. Generally speaking, when choosing a calligraphy copybook, you must first choose it if you like it. Just like what is said in Huang Xiaohu's song "Not That Simple", what others say, Just give it a listen and decide for yourself. Only if you really like it can it last for a long time.
