Learning calligraphy is actually a process of copying the ancients.
But learning from the ancients will also encounter inevitable "pits".
Only reasonable avoidance can make faster progress.
Qi Gong has a very interesting passage, you can take a look at it.
When mortals write books, they have their own ancient posts that they want to learn, and they also have their own styles that they want to achieve.
After the book is finished, self-contemplation and hatred are insufficient.
Even if there is occasional comfort, it is only between these several pictures, or within one picture, there is a slight adult segment of the ear.
From its original intention, it can not reach three or four.
What others learn is where they are comfortable, and every time they are three or four of three or four, they are mistaken for seven or six of them.
This passage is very interesting and can explain many problems, or confusion about calligraphy.
I admire the Qi Gong Treatise, not because of how wonderful his writing is, but because it is very popular, much more popular than the ancients, and the level is much lower. But when he talks about problems, he can always talk about the bottom of a person's heart, and he can always grasp the most important contradiction that we can't learn well.
When writing a work, every word we write has two starting points in the subconscious.
The first is the appearance of the ancient post that comes to mind, that is, how the word is written in the ancient post, and the second is the appearance that I want to create, that is, I want to write according to my own way of handling.
But every time I finish writing, I always find deficiencies. Even if there are good places, it is only one or two paintings, or one or two lines, and it is far from his goal, not three out of ten.
If others try to learn his words, even if they think they are good at learning, they will only get three-four out of ten of his thirteen-fourths, and as for six-sevens of his ten, they are all wrong.
There are two pits in these words, the first is our mentality when we create, and the second is our mentality when we study the post.
First of all, speaking of linti, if you don't learn this person, there is naturally a reason for not learning from this person, and Qi Gong said it again. This may be what Qi Gong said to those who learned other words.
Qi Gong believes that he has only three or four out of ten of the ancients, and others think that Qi Gong is good, so they learn Qi Gong in its entirety, which is to start learning from the third and fourth of the tenth, so the ancients only got the bottom of the Fa.
If you are a book lover who practices Qi Gong and Ertian characters, then you should continue to practice, don't listen to my nonsense, what I say is wrong.
This can be used to explain why we cannot learn from today's people, and we can also explain why we should not copy them all by learning from the ancients.
Who did the ancients learn? Of course it is more ancient people.
Then the ancients must have been good at writing? Not necessarily, because the masters are also trained bit by bit, there are good ones, but certainly not all good.
Mi Fu said in the "Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Post" that it is also a difficult task to write a letter, and a poem is written three or four times, and there are only one or two good words at a time. That is to say, the ancients wrote, and they also had level requirements for themselves, and they were not finished by becoming calligraphers.
Calligraphers don't dare to guarantee that every word is good.

Therefore, learning from the ancients still has to come from the famous chapters.
For example, to learn Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, someone specifically picked some simple and easy to learn.
For example, "Buried Room Ming"
This is Zhao Mengfu's real handwriting is not false, this simple is not false, but is this level high?
Some people say that this is written by Zhao Mengkai, the level can not be high?
If you become famous twenty years from now, does it prove that the words you write now are also good words?
Apparently not.
This is Zhao Mengfu's work in his 20s, even if it is well written, it is only for beginners, in fact, this post is very general with pen kung fu.
Another example is learning Wen Zhengming, seeing a relatively easy book of grass, do you learn it? Of course not to learn!
This line of grass is also the work of Wen Zhengming in his twenties, which can only be said to be talented, but the pen is still not refined enough.
Therefore, to learn from the ancients, you must learn the famous articles, and you must read the introduction when selecting posts, that is, the evaluation of others on this book.
On the title page of each post, there should be such a paragraph, as long as it is a regular publishing house, there will be such an evaluation, and you must look at these evaluations when choosing a post. If you are looking at the electronic version from the network, you have to go to find a famous review, and the advantages and disadvantages of it are clear.
Lingu people still have to choose some popular posters, such as finding some niche posters of Zhao Mengfu, Dong Qichang, Wang Duo, Su Shi and others, and trying to practice things that are different from others, but they will lose a lot because of small.
This is a pit, I have been practicing for a while before, and the two posters on the top have also been practiced. At that time, I didn't know the penmanship, nor did I understand the good or bad, I had practiced the present people, and ertian's Qi Gong had written, and later others said that it was not good, so I began to think about where the ancients were good, and later felt that the ancients wrote well, so they purely learned from the ancients.
Because the road of self-study is more difficult, so I want to find some simple start, practice and practice to find that it is still wrong, so I returned to some famous posts that many famous artists must practice, and then it has improved.
Another pit is that many people learn to write, at the beginning of the learning of appearance, feel that the writing is good, so they are eager to create, and also want to find a personal style.
This leads to a problem, that is, when you create the ancient characters in your mind, but the pen is because of the casualness, because you want to create your own style, to the secondary processing.
This is a big injury to practicing words, because you have deepened the impression of the wrong thing again.
What is the pro-post for?
Pro is penmanship.
Before you don't understand the brushwork, don't rush to create, this is very important. A large number of people just haven't practiced for a few years, and in order to produce works, they practice for a while every day and create a while, which is very bad. Maybe the casualness of the creation will break the muscle memory of the day or two you have been practicing seriously before.
Many people are creative and creative, and as a result, they kill themselves.
For example, this, a look is serious about the post, Wen Zhengming has a lot of things, but the penmanship is very unskilled, and there is no regularity, a lot of things to play by themselves.
Then some people will surely ask, can we only practice and not create? Nor is it, but mainly to talk about the method.
At the beginning of the creation, it is best to "collect ancient characters", look up the words of a poem, see how the ancients wrote, and then come, after each word is written, it is memorized.
This backside is the process of creation.
The purpose is to let you throw away your own brain when creating. idea.
This is especially important in the first few years of school, and it is more troublesome than choosing the wrong post.
If you have only learned from the present person, even if you have learned qi gong Ertian, you have learned something useful.
If you learn from the ancients and start thinking about creation on your own, you are torturing the works of the ancients with your own "learning results" in the past two years, and ultimately harming yourself.
If you have a foundation for the post, you can also feel that you are a little bit of a pro, don't rush to create. Even if others want to work, you must refrain from writing it. Often these casual consciousnesses, or consciousnesses like innovation, dilute the essence of the ancients that you have learned in your brain.
If someone asks you to work, you ask him to wait for two days, ponder and ponder at home, and use the method of collecting words to create.
Why are so many young people today able to go to the National Exhibition? Can you write like a poster? Is that talent?
In fact, they are all set of words, a word is on dozens of hundreds of times, and then written out on the back.
Those contemporary masters you have seen swinging in front of people are actually practicing kung fu to a certain extent. In terms of the level of the works alone, the works they carefully deliberate must be stronger than the ones that are unleashed. On quite a few. It's just because they're at a high level that they're comfortable to watch.
This is true of today's people, and so are the ancients, and good works are all pondered, not "created". The works that are really written by consciousness, formed at once, and look at the ten major books, basically have a specific environment. Even writing letters, the ancients were very particular, sometimes a letter had to be written many times.
So don't rush to create, even if you want to create, you must also talk about the method, do not let the results of your hard work in the past few days be destroyed by a few pieces of waste paper that are not well written.
Then again, the rush to create is this problem, and the problem is also the problem with a variety of fonts such as Linkai Shu xingshu every day, and their reasoning is the same.
It is best to practice only one font at a stage, strengthen the ability to remember the ancient post in one way, and strengthen the understanding of the details of the ancient penmanship, so that it can be remembered deeper in the brain and in the hand. Written on more cooked.
It's like if you wake up two days early in a row, sleep until noon on the third day, and the first two days of hard work are in vain. If you insist on getting up early for more than half a month, even if you are lazy for two days, it will not affect the habit of getting up early the next day.
That's the way it is.
Some of the experience brought out by Qi Gong's words really needs to be carefully paid attention to, and more than 90% of people will be recruited.
If you want to practice well, you must reasonably avoid these pits, which will really make you take many years less detours. Sometimes a few years of hard work and practice are ruined by three or five months of debauchery or a few words of praise from others.
