When you learn calligraphy by yourself, you must start with block script, which is more important than posture. You can write in Liu style, or you can learn European style. If you don't like it, you can also use Zhao style or Yan style. As long as it is these four people It’s all fine. Don’t blindly write based on other people’s good looks. It can only be these four types. If you’ve been writing for a year and a half, you can learn some regular script, but it also depends on your personal attainments. You must be good at regular script. You can only start running calligraphy when you are old enough, otherwise it will be counterproductive, or you can practice some official script after regular script. Cao Quan Monument and Yiying Monument are both good. It has only been two or three years. Regular script is the foundation and must be practiced well....

The brushes should be both fine and fine, and the paper should be rough-edged paper. Water-based writing paper is good, but there is no way to compare. There is progress only when there is comparison.

A good calligraphy work is like a poem, a painting, or a piece of music, which can make the appreciator intoxicated, give people wonderful enjoyment, and generate rich reveries. After two years of study, I think that if you want to learn calligraphy well, you must pay attention to the following points: First of all, the key to learning calligraphy is the use of brushes. The famous calligrapher Zhao Mengfu once said: "Calligraphy is based on the use of brushes." Such as starting and moving the brush. , collect the pen, lift the pen, press the pen, rotate the pen, etc. The method of using the pen can be divided into "square" and "round". The so-called starting a pen means starting a pen against the trend. The so-called center stroke is to keep the main peak of the pen in the middle of the stroke, hide the head and protect the tail, so that the center of the pen is hidden in the middle of the stipple. The center stroke can make the stipple full, round, thick and textured. It reaches three points into the wood and penetrates the back of the paper. If a square pen is folded against the wind, it will inevitably become a side edge. The basic principle is to "draw horizontally and drop the pen straight, draw straight and drop the pen horizontally". Immediately after the pen is placed, it will turn into a center forward, and when the pen is closed, it will turn into a side forward. When writing a square pen, press quickly and hard to fold it into a square. When writing a round pen, press it slowly, lightly, and lift it to form a circle. Learning to use a pen means mastering the key to calligraphy. Secondly, the structure of the words. The strokes are organized into characters according to certain rules. For the strokes of a character, attention should be paid to the appropriate spacing and density, even coordination, facing the back, appropriate changes, interspersed connections, neat arrangement, avoidance of interference, mutual support, and shape. Breaking the connection of meaning and echoing Gu Pan, the matching of each stroke can complement each other. The length, short, thick, thin, wide, narrow, etc. of strokes are like the theory of yin and yang. Yin and yang must be harmonious and interdependent, so that they can be both opposite and unified, so that the writing can be lifelike. Once again, you have to pay attention to the composition, and you can write many words into chapters. The distribution of the entire work, such as word spacing, line spacing, word size, height, leaving space, etc. It is necessary to design it well before writing, so that it is well known, so that the words and words and lines are of appropriate size and density, so that they are full of changes and integrated. To understand the techniques and inner charm of calligraphy, you should practice copying on copybooks, compare the various techniques you have learned with the original calligraphy, find out the gaps, appreciate and read the copybooks as a storybook, and enhance your understanding of the techniques. understanding. Calligraphy is not something that can be accomplished in a day. If you want to write good calligraphy, you must persevere and never stop practicing. You will definitely achieve success in learning calligraphy. Recommendation: If you are just starting to learn. Then Linyan Zhenqing (regular script) is the simplest font - Yan Ti.

For example: "Duobao Pagoda Stele" (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (easier) or "Qinli Stele" (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (difficult) or "Yan Ti Duobao Pagoda Standard Calligraphy Practice Notebook" suitable for beginners (Beijing Publishing House) ——Dabaiyun (ordinary sheep hair) or wolf hair (very elastic) (I use it when writing my work~~) Return: "Preface to the Lanting Collection (narrative)" [running script] ("Wang Xizhi Lanting Narrative and His Writing Method" (Xileng Printing Press) Be careful! You have to memorize the characters before writing~ ----Jianhao (more flexible) Then: "Ode to the Stone Gate" [official script] (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (pay attention to the pen, the pen is more flexible Change) Personally appreciate it! ! {Recommendation} - Crane-foot pen (the pen is very long) Then: "Shiguwen" [Seal Script] (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (note the twist pen) - You can still use the crane-foot pen (the pen is very long) (Long) Attention!: Official script and seal script are very difficult to write! I have to change my pen every half a month (three hours a day!!) Memorizing some seal characters is very helpful for seal engraving: "Shu Pu" [ Cursive Script] ("Sun Guoting Calligraphy") (Shanghai Painting and Calligraphy Publishing House) (very standard cursive script) - center halo (basically OK) back cursive characters ("Standard Cursive Script" - written by Yu Youren 10 yuan ~ very cheap ) Use cursive characters in your daily study and impress your classmates! ! Finally: Read hundreds of books! "Selected Papers on Calligraphy of the Past" ~~~Theory is necessary Wow... (I'm looking at it too~ But it's really difficult...) I wish you success! ! "Book of Preface to the Holy Religion of the Wild Goose Pagoda" (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (vigorous and graceful writing style) (Personally, I prefer regular script) "Qinli Stele" (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (thin horizontally and thick vertically, thick and powerful) - Dabaiyun (Ordinary sheep hair) or wolf hair (very elastic) (I use it when writing my works~~) Running script: "Preface to the Lanting Collection" (worthy of being the dragon of running script~~) ----Jianhao (more flexible) Cursive script: " "Shu Pu" ("Sun Guoting Shu Pu") (Shanghai Painting and Calligraphy Publishing House) (very standard cursive script) - Zhongfeng Yanghao (basically OK) Official script: "Ode to the Stone Gate" (Cultural Relics Publishing House) "Ritual Stele" (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (I am very skilled in using the pen!! I am currently working on it~~) "Zhang Qian Stele" (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (Strong writing style!!) - You can use a crane-foot pen (the pen tip is very long) Seal script: "Shigu Wen" [Seal Script] (Cultural Relics Publishing House) (Pay attention to the twisted pen) - You can still use the crane-foot pen (the pen edge is very long) Also note: 1. Write a word at most 10 times (requirement: read the post carefully! Then, memorize the character and write it calmly) 2. You can practice "Yong" or not! ! No Chinese character is very special, and no one can become a great calligrapher after 20 years of practicing "Yong". Home! Practice all words and treat them equally! 3. Never believe in "quick success". Chinese culture has been accumulated for five thousand years! ! ! Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy so hard that the ink of the brush soaked into the pond, leaving an ink pond praised by future generations! ! In a word: study hard and practice hard!
