How to practice pen calligraphy well?

Practice pen calligraphy well

1. Which font should you start with?

The traditional way to learn calligraphy is to start with Tang Kai script, go against the times, and on the basis of writing regular script well

Further practice Nanxing, Beibei, Hanli, Qin seal. Another idea is that starting from the immature hand muscle development of teenagers, one can start with Qin Zhuan, which has less changes, and proceed with the times, from running cursive to regular script.

These two concepts have their own reasons. But I think the hard-pen calligraphy we learn is fundamentally different from the brush calligraphy mentioned above

So we cannot follow its practice methods, let alone learn the hard-pen calligraphy first

p>

traditional concepts. We now widely use hard pens. If you can't write calligraphy with calligraphy, you can still write hard pen calligraphy well.

There is no need to make detours.

Which font should I start with when practicing hard-pen calligraphy? I think: starting from the development characteristics of teenagers' hand muscles and the characteristics of hard pen

calligraphy strokes with uniform thickness and less changes, we should practice fonts that do not require changes in the speed and weight of the strokes

2. What should you practice when practicing calligraphy?

First of all, you need to train your eyes, that is, read the posts carefully. Huang Tingjian, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, said: "The ancients did not always rely on copying to learn to write. They often hung the ancient calligraphy works on the walls and watched them intently, and they got them right.

I just started writing." Ouyang Xun of the Tang Dynasty discovered the stele written by Suo Jing of the Jin Dynasty. He couldn't bear to leave it and simply sat down to read the stele for three days

The more posts you read, the sharper your eyesight will be, and you will know how to write well and what is good about it. There is an idiom called "high eyes but low hands". I think: high eyes are the prerequisite for high hands. If you can't discover beauty and don't know what beauty is, you can't even talk about creating beauty.

Many students think that sloppy writing is the so-called running script, which leads them to regard ugliness as beauty

The reason is that they have "low eyesight and low hands".

The second step is to train the brain or the heart. On the basis of careful observation, we should also keep the well-written model characters firmly in mind

and engrav the shape of them deeply in the brain. Whenever this character is mentioned, You can immediately figure out the shape of this character on the copybook.

Make sure that you have a clear mind and a clear mind.

The third thing is to practice. The purpose of eye training and brain training is to figure out how to write characters. The best effect of writing can be imagined in the mind, but the best effect may not be achieved in the hand

because the brain may not be able to direct the hand, and the hand may not be able to direct it

The pen was drawn. Practicing hands is to achieve the state where mind and hand are consistent, and hand and writing are consistent, so practicing hands is also crucial.

Hand training mainly involves practicing finger strength, wrist strength and hand feel. If you write for a long time, your fingers will ache, your wrists will become sore, and your hands will not obey the instructions. This phenomenon will disappear if you exercise more. Students who often help their teachers copy questions on the blackboard and students who run blackboard newspapers often write quickly and well. Their finger and wrist strength are developed in this way. Also

pay attention to practicing the feel of the hand so that the brain can direct the hand and feel that the pen has become a part of the hand and an extension of the hand.

The hand can control the pen easily. If you want to be fast, go fast, if you want to be slow, go slow, if you want to be light, then be light, if you want to be heavy, then be heavy, whatever effect you want to write can be achieved.

The fourth thing is to practice structure, because the key to practicing calligraphy is to master the structure of characters. The structure of a character refers to the length and length of its strokes

and the interpenetrating and avoiding relationships between the strokes.

Xie Xiaodong sang in the song "Chinese": "The character I love to write the most is the square character taught by my husband. Fangfangzhengzheng should be like him..." "Fangfangzhengzheng" summarizes the structure of Chinese characters.

Structural characteristics. After mastering the structure of Chinese characters, I can write square and beautiful boldface characters. By slightly changing the strokes, I can write Song, Wei, Kai, Fake Song, Pang, and Sima styles.

Chinese characters in various fonts such as Chinese style and official script. If you cannot grasp the structure of Chinese characters, no matter how you modify or beautify the strokes of the characters, they will become ugly redundancies that will become more and more ugly. Therefore, mastering the structure of characters and writing bold characters well is the key and foundation for practicing all calligraphy.

The fifth step is to practice your strokes. Many students have practiced calligraphy. They started practicing regular script and have forgotten many rules of how to use calligraphy.

They only remember a few strokes. As a result, the characters written out are cumbersome and look like ghostly symbols. I encourage everyone to practice writing in boldface

from beginning to end, grasp the glyphs, and eliminate pauses. Below I will introduce to you the writing methods of several commonly used strokes and the mistakes that most students tend to make when writing these strokes:

① Point, move the pen from the upper left to the lower right, there are A writing process. Note that "points" also have lengths and cannot be combined into dots.

②Horizontal, write equally from left to right. The key is to "horizontally be flat", not one end high and the other low, or the strokes should be wavy. Control the length according to the font shape of the square font, not too short or too long.

③Vertical, move the pen vertically from top to bottom. The key is that "the vertical line must be straight", it cannot be skewed to the left or right, and it cannot be written as a vertical hook

. Control the length according to the font shape of the square font, not too short or too long.

④ For strokes, move the pen from the upper right to the lower left. Do not write dot strokes or horizontal strokes.

⑤ When writing folded pens, the folded corners should be square rather than round. Don't make a big break at the corner, writing it as two obtuse angles off the shoulders, but write it as a right angle.

The words written in this way, if written with a ballpoint pen, will be small round artistic calligraphy similar to matchsticks; if written with a fountain pen

, they will be standard blackface characters. Although the strokes are monotonous, they are still beautiful and beautiful as long as the structure is accurate. Just like crouching horse stance is the basic skill of practicing martial arts, horizontal and vertical movements are the basic skill of writing Chinese characters. The reason why many people cannot write well is that the horizontal and vertical lines are not straight and the structure is not accurate. If the structure is wrong, no matter how rich the strokes are, you will not be able to produce good calligraphy.

3. General steps for practicing calligraphy

On the basis of practicing boldface characters, mastering the structure of characters, and practicing basic skills, you can choose your favorite font

Practice. The process of selecting fonts is called calligraphy selection. On the basis of calligraphy selection, there are five steps of reading, tracing, copying, memorizing and creating.

The first step is to read the post. We all know the pronunciation of the Chinese characters on the post, so there is no need to read them again. What to read? Read the glyphs, structure

, read the strokes, analyze and figure out the characteristics of the strokes of the characters and the relationship between the strokes. For example: when we read the word "中" in boldface

, we need to read that the vertical part of "中" passes through the middle of "口", and the character "口" is slightly flat and the horizontal length is >

It is twice the length of the vertical. The long vertical in the middle is divided into two equal lengths by the lower horizontal of the character "口", and its upper segment is divided by the upper horizontal of the character "口". Two segments of equal length. This is reading glyphs and structures. Different fonts have different strokes.

The strokes have different characteristics. The changes in hard-pen calligraphy strokes are not obvious and are not easy for middle school students to master. I won’t say more here

.

The second step is tracing. "Tracing" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners use a blue pen to trace along the handwriting on the printed red copybook.

"Copy" refers to copying, that is, covering the model characters with transparent paper and writing stroke by stroke along the shadow of the characters on the paper, which is also called copying

imitation.

The third step is to post.

Refers to putting the copybook aside and watching the copybook write word by word on the homework paper. This method is helpful for mastering the writing style and meaning of the calligraphy, but it is not easy to master the structure of the calligraphy.

The fourth step is to memorize the post. It refers to the method of removing the copybook based on the original copybook, recalling the characters on the copybook

based on your own memory, and writing it on the homework paper. This is a key step in practicing calligraphy. Only by carefully observing the written words

and having a solid plan in mind can you write with spirit and accuracy. When writing, if you can see the exact shape of the Chinese character you want to write on the white paper, you will have good writing skills if you can "write the character on the paper and the character in the chest" and write like tracing red.

Words are not a problem.

The fifth step is creation. After mastering the writing method of the words on the copybook, I can understand the writing method of the words that are not on the copybook. According to your own needs to express your feelings, write a piece of text that has a center, content, and a self-contained system. This is creation.

If you can write handwriting that is close to the copybook in your daily study life, the purpose of middle school students practicing calligraphy will be achieved

4. Things to note when practicing calligraphy

Now let me talk about several issues that should be paid attention to when practicing calligraphy:

The first issue is about writing tools. choose. "If you want to do your job well, you must first get the tools." Whether it is a fountain pen or a ballpoint pen, you must choose a good pen with smooth writing and even line thickness. The ink is too light and difficult to identify; the ink is too dark and gives people a sense of depression. This often affects the mood of the marking teacher during the exam, causing unnecessary loss of points. Therefore, blue-black is the best ink color for handwriting.

The second question: When practicing calligraphy, you should pay attention to the writing posture and the way to hold the pen. Since the vast majority of middle school students now

use ballpoint pens, I will take the ballpoint pen as an example to talk about the writing posture and the method of holding the pen. When writing with a ballpoint pen, you should sit in a sitting position with your head upright, your body straight, your arms open, and your feet secure. Since ballpoint pens write small words, the movement of the pen tip should be in the area with the best visual effect.

Generally, the right hand holds the pen, and the pen position should be slightly to the right. The eyes

The eyes are about 30 cm from the paper, and the chest is about 10 cm from the edge of the table. Extend your arms naturally, with your forearms flat on the table. Press the left and right sides of the pen holder with the pads of your thumb and index finger respectively. The left side of the first joint of the middle finger is against the bottom of the pen holder.

The ring finger and little finger are in turn against the middle finger. Naturally bent into a half-fist shape, it plays a municipal control role. The distance from the contact point between thumb and pen

to the tip of the pen is about 4 cm. The penholder leans against the tiger's mouth, forming an angle of 45-60 degrees with the paper. The smaller the characters, the larger the angle. If you use a pen to write, you should also pay attention to the pen tip on the outside and the pen tongue on the inside, so that the middle seam of the pen tip touches the paper surface to ensure even water flow and smooth lines.

The third question: When practicing calligraphy, you must be calm, start well and finish well, and cannot be impatient and perfunctory. When writing, you must be meticulous and every stroke must be written realistically. When some people practice calligraphy, they like to doodle before the end. This kind of doodle is a taboo when practicing calligraphy. It not only damages the life of the pen tip, but also makes it hard to finish after practicing for a long time.

The progress just made was lost.

The fourth question: Don’t change fonts easily. Practicing calligraphy requires perseverance, perseverance, and solid basic skills

. You should practice calligraphy regularly, and you should not be exposed to the cold for three days, fishing for three days, and drying the net for two days. Note: One day of practice is a day of qigong

A day of non-practice is a day of emptiness. After mastering the font structure, you can choose the font you like and practice it persistently, and do not change fonts easily. Because once you change the font, you have to start from scratch.

The fifth question: We must learn to combine writing and practice. Some students write very well when practicing calligraphy, but when doing homework

they just mess up their writing. , they will never be able to practice calligraphy well.

The calligraphy you have practiced should be used in daily life, and you should write it as well as you did during practice. Use each one you practice, learn by using it, use it while learning, and only by combining learning and application can you practice calligraphy well.

The sixth question: Teachers of all subjects must work together to coordinate closely. First of all, teachers should write standard calligraphy, and secondly, they should encourage students to practice calligraphy. Students whose homework is sloppy should be criticized and educated so that they can correct it. Supervising students to practice calligraphy is not only the responsibility of Chinese teachers, but also every teacher.

5. There are three realms of calligraphy practice.

Everyone has read Jin Yong's novel "Swordsman", which contains an incisive discussion of sword training: Beginners

When you first practice, you use your hands to use the sword. If the sword doesn't obey the command, it may even hurt itself. After practicing for a period of time, the hands

will become one with the sword, the sword will be used with the heart, and the sword will follow the heart, and the swordsmanship will reach a higher level. The highest level of swordsmanship

is the unity of mind and sword, without sword and without self. Every move he makes is a sword, flying flowers and picking leaves are all sharp swords. A thin embroidery needle can withstand three swordsmanship masters. This kind of swordsmanship can be said to have reached a superb state.

The same is true when practicing calligraphy. In the initial stage of practicing calligraphy, we also use our hands to use the pen. There is a process from when the pen does not listen to the instructions of the hand to becoming proficient

and it can further develop to the state where the pen and the hand become one. When writing at this time, I feel that the pen is part of my hand. I am not writing with a pen, but with my hand. As long as we practice seriously, we can achieve this level

.

The second state of practicing calligraphy is to use the heart to make the pen, the heart and the pen are unified, and the pen moves when the heart moves. What is written in the pen is what is in the heart

When reaching this state, the level of calligraphy can be said to be a small achievement. We all, including myself, must work hard to achieve this goal.

The third state of practicing calligraphy is to follow the teachings of nature, without self or pen. Many famous calligraphers in ancient times were like this

. For example, Wang Xizhi saw the posture of the white goose swimming in the water, and realized the "floating goose hook" brushstrokes; Zhang Xu saw the bearers fighting for the way, and Gongsun Da's mother dancing with the sword, and realized the interweaving relationship of the structure of pointillism. The speed and rhythm of his pen greatly enriched his writing style

curiously; Huaisu watched Xia Yunhaitao and realized the majestic and overwhelming power of cursive script; Yan Zhenqing

watched The traces of leaks in the house and the cone painting in the sand make me understand the hesitation and strength of the brush. This is the ideal state for us to practice calligraphy. Once we reach this state, we can write with or without a pen, a soft pen or a hard pen, even a dead branch or a broken broom

Produce wonderful calligraphy works.

Let us write with our hearts, not just with our hands, and strive to move towards this ideal state!

Let’s talk about the fourth question: How do I practice calligraphy.

At first I used a brush to copy "Yan Qin Li Stele". Later I found a "99 Days Fountain Pen Calligraphy Quick Copybook", which

selected 99 representative Chinese characters. , requiring practitioners to practice one every day, remember one, and learn one.

After practicing for 99 days, you can write 99 Chinese characters. By analogy, you can also write other Chinese characters. I found these Chinese characters from "Yan Qin Li Monument", one every day, and practiced hard. In less than a month, I made obvious progress.

Later, some classmates said that the facial expressions I wrote had a "face" flavor, but were soft and weak. The reason was that I couldn't do "center strokes" when I was

writing. ”, in many cases it’s just dragging the pen. This classmate is a person with high ambitions and low abilities.

He discovered my faults but could not help me correct them. I asked for advice from many sources and carefully observed how other people wrote, and finally discovered this trick: It turns out that when others write, they often twist the pen barrel and let the pen tip rotate with the movement of the pen. Always be in the middle of the stroke, thus achieving "center stroke".

Later, another classmate of mine said to me: "Your calligraphy and strokes are very standardized, but when combined together they don't look beautiful.

The main reason is that the structure is wrong. If you want to To master the structure of characters, you might as well follow me and learn to write bold characters, the strokes of which are like matchsticks. Only when the structure is correct can the characters be beautiful. "So I dipped a brush in water and held it against the newspaper. /p>

The boldface headlines of the news are practiced on the floor. Soon I mastered the writing of boldface characters and wrote large-character slogans for some classes. I found that after learning boldface, I could write many fonts I had never practiced before with just a little practice on their basic strokes. This is why I suggest students start practicing with boldface characters today.

In 1993, I participated in the calligraphy and painting competition organized by the Shijiazhuang Municipal Education Commission and won the third prize. Now I often help my colleagues

Post posters and write big characters, which not only consolidates the effect of practicing calligraphy I also improved my writing skills, which not only helped others but also cultivated myself

.

We have talked about the methods and precautions for practicing calligraphy above. If you do what I say, I think you will definitely make progress

because I guide students to practice. The words have achieved good results. Finally, I will talk about this issue.

As a Chinese teacher, you must not only write good calligraphy yourself, but also guide students to write good calligraphy. In order to let students write

good calligraphy, I once asked students to write "one word a day". After practice, Li Chao, a student from the class of 1998, learned Pang Zhonghua style

pen calligraphy to achieve At a very high level, Niu Kunpeng's pen calligraphy is upright, rigorous and self-contained. I have also held many calligraphy lectures for students and organized students to participate in calligraphy competitions many times. Hard-pen calligraphy works by students Hu Zhanxiong, Li Mo and others from the class of 2001 have won awards in the "Star of the Century" calligraphy competition. Nowadays, I carry out an activity to evaluate "star writing experts" among students, and the students are very enthusiastic about practicing calligraphy. "Three-star writing expert" Sun Ruijing not only writes neatly and clearly, but also reaches a writing speed of more than 50 words per minute.

Finally, I want to tell you: It is not difficult to write beautiful Chinese characters. As long as you practice and write carefully, you will succeed.

When you see dignified and beautiful Chinese characters flowing out from your pen, when you see pages of neat and clear homework being produced under your pen, when you see When the red check mark and "

Excellent" appear on the homework book, don't you think that writing Chinese characters well is also an artistic enjoyment? Let's enter the art world of Chinese calligraphy

and let's splash ink to our heart's content!

Practice pen calligraphy well

For primary school students and some young people whose handwriting has not yet been finalized, it is generally easier than for adults. This is because they are easy to accept new fonts. Once they have the right guidance, choose the right font, the right method

and a perseverance attitude, they will be able to accept new fonts in a short time. Good results can be achieved. For adults whose fonts have been finalized, it is not so easy to practice pen calligraphy well. Because they did not pay attention to the quality of handwriting before, some ugly or even wrong writing methods have become bad habits and are difficult to correct. They want to practice calligraphy now, but they often only tinker with the existing

fonts and make up their own mind about choosing fonts that are similar to themselves. In this way, they often do not learn anything.

The bad ones were not thrown away, and the more they practiced, the worse they became.

So how do you get these people to practice calligraphy well? My experience is: first of all, they must completely forget their previous fonts

and start from scratch, starting from the most basic dots and strokes. Then practice the structure. For pen calligraphy, the most important thing is the structure. The quality of the structure directly affects the beauty of the calligraphy. Therefore, it is most important to write well in pen calligraphy. But

there is a very difficult problem to solve now, that is, it is difficult to forget the previous fonts, and in the process of posting, I often bring old habits into new fonts.

To change this situation, the best way is to first choose and copy block letters that are completely different from your previous fonts. The purpose of practicing block letters is to get the form right. If you practice for a week or two or more, you can get the form right. After the shape is corrected, you should also choose a cursive calligraphy copybook that is completely different from your original font and that you think is beautiful for copying. If the font is rigid before, choose an unrestrained copybook; if the font is sloppy, choose a rigorous copybook; if the font is dull, choose a chic copybook; if the font is soft and smooth, choose a firm one.

If the font is too bloated, choose a beautiful copybook... In this way, you can learn new fonts after two to three months of practice. We often encounter this problem in our studies. In the first few days, we make rapid progress, but after a while, we feel that our writing gets worse and worse. This is normal. At this time, you should calm down and continue practicing. After a period of hard work, you will be able to get out of the predicament and get on track. The purpose of copying is to forget the previous words and memorize the words on the copybook and apply them. After this, it is necessary to arrange the relationship between words and lines, which is the so-called layout. For people who generally just want to make their handwriting look better, but don't want to achieve anything in this area, being able to do the above is enough. This is the experience I gained during my studies. I have also introduced these experiences

to others, and the results have been good.

If you want to achieve something in the art of pen calligraphy, it cannot be achieved overnight. It is not only necessary to borrow

the brush strokes, structure, composition, charm, etc. of brush calligraphy, but also to give full play to the inherent characteristics of the fountain pen

. Only in this way can the art of pen calligraphy flourish and have strong and permanent vitality. Otherwise

fountain pen calligraphy can only be a vassal of brush calligraphy, unable to develop and innovate, and it will not have strong

and permanent vitality.
