When I wanted to practice calligraphy and study, my handwriting was too ugly~ Now I can’t do it. I don’t feel confident when I see someone who wants to write~

Whether to practice brush calligraphy or pen calligraphy at home, I think beginners can choose according to their own personality and preferences, in a direction that is conducive to practicing basic skills and future development, or they can also consider based on work needs. Which style is beneficial to practice. Of course, what we are most familiar with now is pen calligraphy, so it is generally easier to achieve results by practicing pen calligraphy. But the real foundation is calligraphy.

If you want to learn hard-pen calligraphy well, it is crucial to use the correct writing method.

The correct way to post calligraphy:

There are five types of calligraphy: seal script, official script, regular script, running script, and cursive script. Most people and I think that beginners should use regular script as the basis, but there are also People think that we should start from official script. The arrangement of regular script structure is exactly the middle stage. It evolved from the official script. If the regular script is straight and slightly flat, the Jia Bo Teng brushwork is the official script. Writing in a simple and flowing style is running script, and writing running script in a simple and cursive style is called jincao. If you start from official script, it will be difficult to master the writing techniques of regular script, because the writing techniques of regular script are richer and more complex than official script. It can be seen that practicing the basic skills of regular script can serve as the basis for practicing various writing styles.

With the foundation of regular script, I have mastered the frame structure and brushwork of regular script, and then I can write Wei stele, official script, running script and cursive script. Even seal script can get twice the result with half the effort. Regular script can also enrich and change the structure of Wei stele and official script, such as Zhu Suiliang's regular script; regular script can infiltrate human running script and cursive script to increase flexibility, such as some of Zhao Mengfu's regular script stele characters.

Some beginners are eager to practice running script and cursive script. Because they do not have the basic skills of regular script, although they can write "like dragons and phoenixes", they do not have the basic rules of fonts and the basic skills of dots and strokes. As a result, they get half the result with half the effort and take a detour. .

The best way to practice regular script is to practice regular script. In fact, you can use any of the scripts. You can choose the stele sticker according to your own preferences. Yan, Ou, Liu, and Zhao are all acceptable, but when purchasing the stele sticker Try to buy word stickers of better quality.

On the basis of selecting the posts, there are five steps: reading the posts, tracing the posts, copying the posts, memorizing the posts, 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 it again. What to read? Read the glyphs, structure, and strokes, analyze and figure out the characteristics of the strokes and the relationship between the strokes. For example: when we read the Chinese character "中", we need to read that the vertical line of "中" passes through the middle of "口". The character "口" is slightly flat, and the long vertical line in the middle is divided into lengths by the lower horizontal line of the character "口". The upper segment of the two equal segments is divided into two segments of equal length by the upper horizontal line of the word "口". This is reading glyphs and structures. Different fonts and strokes have different characteristics.

The second step is tracing. "Tracing" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners use a brush 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.

The third step is to post. It means to put the copybook aside and look at the copybook to write word by word. This method is helpful for mastering the 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 glyphs on the copybook according to your own memory, and writing it on paper. This is a key step in practicing calligraphy. Only by carefully scrutinizing the words you write 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 characters you want to write on the white paper, and "write the characters on the paper, and the characters in your chest", and write like tracing red, writing good calligraphy will not be a problem.

The fifth step is to post. 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 by analogy. Writing a piece of text that has a center, content, and a self-contained system based on your own needs to express your feelings is creation.

If you can write handwriting that is close to the copybook in your daily study life, your goal of practicing calligraphy will be achieved.

Posture for practicing calligraphy:

When practicing calligraphy, you should pay attention to the posture of writing and the way to hold the pen, so as to achieve "head upright, body straight, arms open, and feet secure." Generally, copybooks have writing postures and methods of holding the pen.
