What you should know about practicing hard handwriting

Today, I would like to share with you those things about practicing hard handwriting and some experience.

before we practice, let's talk about the word "the word is like a person".

"the word, such as a person, actually originated from a famous saying by Yang Xiong, a writer in the Western Han Dynasty: 'books, heart painting.' The meaning of this sentence is that calligraphy is a psychological description of human beings, which uses lines to express and express the author's emotional and emotional changes. "the word is like a person", which means that people and people, two and one, one and two, such as fish and water blend, see the word is like seeing people. "

the above is the explanation of the Baidu Encyclopedia, but personally, Hua er feels that words, such as what they say, can reflect a person's mind, conduct, and personality to some extent, not just to associate the appearance of a person with the beauty of the character.

next, let's talk about the main topic: how to practice calligraphy? How to practice Chinese characters well?

1. Preparation before practicing Chinese characters

as the saying goes, "sharpen a knife without mistakenly chopping firewood". Before you do anything, you need to be prepared, so that you will not be in a mess. It is the same with calligraphy practice, which requires some preparatory work. Specifically, it can be divided into the following points.

do you also have the following questions about the choice of posters?

(1) I don't know which font or style to choose.

(2) you can still read the words you write when you practice the book. If you leave the book, you will reveal you're true shape immediately.

(3) I don't know how to use the posters. Post? Or off the post?

first of all, the choice of words and posts, do not follow the trend.

my advice is to choose a font that you like and can or may practice well, similar to the "recent development zone" in educational psychology. You should know yourself best, so it depends on your actual situation.

of course, if you have a poor foundation, such as writing that you can't read, it's recommended to start with italics. There are many kinds of italics, so just choose the one you like.

remember, there are not many words in the book, just practice with one. There is no need to buy too much, and the loss outweighs the gain.

people always ask me what font I practice. To be honest, I don't know. I prefer teacher Tian Yingzhang's regular script, but what I practice doesn't taste like Tian at all. I feel a little different. Ha.

secondly, "you can still read the words you write when you practice the book. If you leave the book, you will reveal you're true shape immediately." "I don't know how to use the script, describe it? Post? Or take off the post? " These two problems are one problem, and the reason why the former problem arises is caused by the latter.

to sum up, you don't know how to use a word book in the wrong way, or you can't use it at all. How many people draw directly with a script? How many people seem to be sketching calligraphy, but in fact, they are still writing in their old way? Most of them.

I read and wrote a thick one or even several books, but they were of no use at all. I closed the notebook and returned them all. I was very tired. This is the so-called "thankless". So, in the end, how to use the word book? We will talk about it in more detail below.

in addition, it is better to choose a book with an explanation part, such as the explanation of basic strokes, the explanation of words, how to handle the pen, and how to grasp the structure of characters. For friends who have begun to practice calligraphy, the more detailed the better.

2, hard pen (ink)

originally the pen (ink) was written before this flower, later I think the hard pen is more suitable. Practicing calligraphy is not limited to pens, but also pencils, carbon pens, signature pens, and so on can write beautiful handwriting, the key is how you use it. Here are some finished products for your reference.

Pencil

signature

there are always friends who ask me what pen I use and what ink I use. As for the choice of pen and ink, my advice is practical and suitable. There is no need to buy a very expensive brand pen, as long as it is enough. Of course, there is no denying that the brand pen will certainly have its advantages, such as being more durable, wear-resistant, and so on. But in our daily practice, you don't have to buy such a good one. You may still feel distressed if it is too expensive.

therefore, the choice of pen and ink is enough, it is comfortable to hold, and the effluent is smooth. What I use is an ordinary hero, which is OK. I have used it for more than a year, and now the water is not very smooth, but I am not willing to throw it away. In short, what suits you is good.

3,

the reason why we write character training paper instead of directly writing rice character grid is that there are many kinds of character training paper, such as field character grid, meter character grid, square, horizontal plate, vertical plate, and so on.

if you are just beginning to practice calligraphy, then I suggest you choose Tian or Mi, or if you have more time, you can also try to write by yourself. I often do this in my spare time.

because if there is a grid, it will be better to grasp the position of each stroke and the relative position between the stroke and the stroke, which we will talk about later in the process of practicing Chinese characters. Do not casually take a blank piece of paper to write there, it is difficult to practice good words, the size of the words will be different, or difficult to grasp.

of course, if you write very well, please help yourself. If you are participating in the hard pen calligraphy competition, you can choose a horizontal version, vertical version, or all kinds of exquisite calligraphy paper for the beauty of the overall effect. The following is to show you some exquisite pieces of calligraphy paper. (picture from Douban friends to share, thank you ~)

4, suitable environment

after the first few tools are ready, then you need a suitable environment. This suitable place is not necessarily very quiet, as long as you can calm down. A table and a chair will be enough. If you can't calm down, you can also practice while listening to pure music.

II. The process of practicing Chinese characters

1, observe

after getting the book, don't rush to write. First observe, observe the position of each stroke in the meter lattice and the relative position relationship between each stroke, as well as the frame structure of the word, whether it is a concession relationship or a cross relationship.

for example, in the word "Lin", the part between the two trees is interspersed with a cross-relationship, while the left "wood" is written as a right point, the left "wood" is small and the right "wood" is large, which precisely reflects the relationship of avoidance.

what I'm talking about is a personal experience, not a professional statement, but to make it easier for everyone to understand. As for how to move the pen in each stroke, it will be mentioned in the calligraphy, so just understand and study carefully.

2, copy

observe clearly before writing.

if you have no foundation at all, it is recommended to start with strokes. Remember, even if it is a sketch, it is based on the first step of observation, and you must put aside your original writing habits, otherwise it is also a white sketch.

if there is any foundation, my advice is to post. The so-called temporary post is to put the word post in front of the case, observe the shape, structure, and stroke of the word, understand its spirit, and then write in imitation. As for whether it is to come one stroke at a time or to observe a word as a whole, it depends on personal preferences and habits.

Note: don't worry when you start to write. Calm down and write slowly. This is also a process of enjoying self-cultivation.

3, summarize

the above is the practice method of a single word, and a word has to be written more than once, and it will be effective if you can't write it over and over again, so that the brain can't form a memory, can't achieve the desired effect, or it's very difficult to achieve the effect.

be sure, to sum up after each practice and review the characteristics of each word, which is what we call the first step of observation. Then, keep practicing.

III. Problems needing attention in practicing Chinese characters

here are some problems that need to be paid attention to in practicing Chinese characters.

first of all, in the process of practicing calligraphy, you must keep a happy mood. If you are in a good mood, the efficiency of writing will be high. Secondly, it is the amount of practice. Don't think that the more you write, the better. The most important thing is to write well. Writing too much will lead to boredom, but it will backfire and fail to achieve the desired results. Therefore, it is good to practice calligraphy in the right amount.

once again, it is learning in addition to the word book. The so-called interest is the best teacher, have time to listen to some calligraphers' calligraphy video lectures and lectures, learn more about calligraphy professional knowledge, calligraphy history, and calligraphy common sense, visit more excellent calligraphy exhibitions, learn from the strengths of various schools, increase interest in calligraphy. At the same time, communicate and share with others, let others put forward opinions and suggestions, learn from each other, and make common progress.

the last and most important issue is persistence. Do not rush to succeed in calligraphy practice, it is a process of slowly accumulating bit by bit, change is also bit by bit, rise abruptly based on accumulated strength. Don't underestimate persistence. Remember: hold on, hold on. Important things are to be repeated 3 times!

the above is some personal experience, just for reference.
