Xie Jin, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, said in the "Study of Calligraphy": The method of learning books is not taught by mouth, and it must not be refined. The big thing is to approach the ancient ink, arrange the interstitial frame, take care of the broken pipe, break the book and break the paper, and have kung fu.
Learning calligraphy is not to pick up a pen to write what you want, but there is a very professional method, only by learning calligraphy according to the correct method, can you avoid doing useless work all day.
Learn calligraphy, try to reduce the cost of trial and error, the way to avoid mistakes is the best shortcut, you can compare whether there are the following five kinds of errors, some are changed, none are encouraged.

First, the five bodies are grasped, and the five bodies are not refined
Some people learn calligraphy, and as soon as they come up, they grasp the seal, the subordinate, the grass, the line, and the kaitong, and all kinds of inscriptions are bought, and the reason is very strong: we must have a general view and develop in an all-round way. As a result, none of the five bodies are proficient, they are just learning a little bit.
The correct approach should be to practice the seal or lishu first, and then transition to the calligraphy, which is practiced to a certain extent and then involves calligraphy and cursive writing.
The Qing Dynasty scholar Bao Shichen said this in his "Yizhou Double Series":
Every time you practice a post, you will make the penmanship penetrate into the liver, and every time you change the post, you will make your heart feel like there is no previous post. The accumulation of strength is a long time, accustomed to the quality of the family's behavior, the temperament is all rushed to the wrist, although it is known that the ancient is an apprentice, in fact, it is self-cherishing.

Second, crazy copying, not a word fine
Crazy copying is a mistake that many beginners will make, especially those who teach calligraphy on their own, it is easy to do so. The reason for this is that one is greedy for more speed, the second is that it is more effective, and the third is that it is called through the name. In the end, it leads to a lack of refinement of words and half the work.
In fact, it should be carried out after breaking through some difficult problems, rather than passing through at the beginning.
Zhu Hetang once said of learning calligraphy:
Whoever imitates must concentrate on one family, and then look at each family, and naturally eat in the chest and be skilled under the wrist. Long-term vision, high interest, gathering the crowd to think that they have, to get to the group situation.
The right way: first the word essence, and then the next step. Single Word Essence Pro should pick some more representative and difficult words to practice, rather than having to be fine with each word from beginning to end, which is of course the best, but it is not the most efficient.

Third, time-consuming, laborious and inefficient
Of course, it takes a lot of time to learn calligraphy, but this does not mean that the time spent is necessarily good. If the method is not correct, the learning time and learning effect may be inversely proportional.
The correct method should be to carefully read the post after selecting the post, that is, to repeatedly study the characters, chapters and other elements of the post, so that it is confident, and then repeat the practice over and over again, first to achieve similarity, and then strive to be similar, so that you can enter the post.
Can be included in the post, in order to say that this word post is almost learned, otherwise you can only be a layman.

Fourth, drill in, can not come out
Earlier we said that we must enter the post, and we must drill into it in order to truly understand the essence of the post, which is a must. But some people can't get out after getting in, which is another big problem. We must not only be able to enter the post, but also post.
The purpose of our posting is to not post, and the purpose of our imitation is not to imitate. For example, Mi Fu and Huang Tingjian can go deep into one family, and finally they can become a family of their own, which is the final effect of what we do.

Fifth, only post, not creation
This is also a common problem for many calligraphy learners. Linti is very hardworking, the method is also right, but he has been in Linti, never thought of creating works, which will also affect the learning effect.
The correct approach is to start experimenting with creation after a period of study. This provides a good understanding of the orthography and rules of the posters. Because it is only a one-word post, the words without a whole concept will affect the understanding of the chapter.
At the beginning, you can first carry out the creation of the collection of words, the so-called collection of words, that is, the selection of some words in the post to form a work, can be one word, two words, and then slowly increase more. Then try to create various forms of work.
To learn calligraphy, we must avoid the five pits mentioned above and try to carry out scientific methods as much as possible, so as to achieve efficient learning and save time.
