Four-point writing is a learning process. In order to practice calligraphy well in this learning process, two conditions must be met, namely perseverance and method, both of which are indispensable. That is to say, a certain amount of time and practical learning methods must be guaranteed. The most important ways are "copying" and "copying". Beginners can copy first and then copy, and those with a certain foundation can directly copy. To copy, you must first solve the copying template, that is, the copybook, and then solve the copying method.
1. Randomly selected copybooks are prone to rebound
Copybooks are the silent teachers of calligraphers. Beginners should pay special attention to the choice of copybook, because the quality of the copybook will have a great impact on the beginner's practice and future development. We believe that it is better to choose pen calligraphy to practice pen calligraphy. Especially for beginners, using calligraphy brush calligraphy to learn pen calligraphy is half the effort with half the effort.
When choosing a fountain pen copybook, you should mainly refer to three principles:
1. It is recommended to copy from ancient copybooks. It is not recommended to study modern copybooks. It is easy to get into bad habits by studying modern copybooks.
2. Choose the template you like. If you like it, you will have the enthusiasm to practice it, which will bring smooth progress to beginners;
3. Choose excellent models that are recognized by experts. There are indeed some copybooks of the lowest quality popular in society at present, which is an inevitable phenomenon in a commodity society. If beginners choose randomly, they will go astray, not only waste time and energy, but also may be infected with some bad habits. Therefore, you must be careful when choosing copybooks and seek advice from experts.
2. Wrong order of book styles
There is a big difference between practicing hard-pen calligraphy and brush calligraphy. Brush calligraphy pays more attention to physical and artistic expression, while hard-brush calligraphy pays more attention to structural beauty. For beginners, should they practice regular script first, running script first, or official script or cursive script first? Regarding this issue, I believe that primary school students should practice regular script first; junior high school students can practice running script (which is more practical); middle school seniors or college students, or teenagers with a certain foundation of regular script can practice running script.
Brush calligraphy can start with seal and official script, but hard-pen calligraphy should start with regular script as much as possible. Especially those with messy fonts should throw away all their own fonts and practice regular script first and then running script. Once you have the basics of regular script, other fonts will be easy to use. It is not recommended to practice cursive and seal script too early when learning hard-pen calligraphy.
3. Confrontation is the main focus
After the problem of copybooks and calligraphy is solved, the problem we face is copying and copying. Copy means tracing, which can be traced on the printed red molded characters, or covered with thin paper with good transparency and traced on the post. This method should not be practiced for a long time as the effect will not be very good. It is recommended to "face to face" more often.
The so-called facing is to write facing the ancient post. Writing a post can be said to be a process that everyone who learns to write must go through. Some successful old calligraphers, despite their profound attainments, still visit the pond every day. No one is born with good calligraphy skills without writing calligraphy. Linxi is the only way to practice calligraphy and engage in calligraphy creation, and no one can find another way.
