The art of mainland calligraphy is rich and colorful. As far as the body of the book is concerned, there are seals, letters, lines, grasses, and lines of grass, as well as lines of grass and so on. As far as the book school is concerned, there are Zhong (繇), Wang (羲之, Xianzhi), Yu (Shinan), Chu (Suiliang), Ou (Ouyang Qing), Yan (Zhenqing), as well as Cai (Xiang), Su (Dongpo), Huang (Valley), Mi (Yuanzhang) and many others.
Talk about how to choose and change the posts for the introduction to calligraphy
All kinds of books have different systems, writing methods, and different styles of books, so where should we start?
Let's talk about the body of the book first
For the procedures for practicing calligraphy, some of them advocated first learning seal calligraphy and lishu, and then learning calligraphy, xingshu, and cursive writing; some advocated first learning calligraphy, and then chasing after seals and subordinates. Judging from the source of the book, it is easy to first learn the seal, the seal, the seal, the foundation of the seal, and then write the letter, line, and grass.
However, we know that the basic laws of writing, running pens, etc., ancient and modern, no matter which one is learned, can be applied. From a practical point of view, the use of calligraphy, line, and grass is much more extensive than that of seals and affiliations, and as I said earlier, we do not require every practitioner to become a calligraphy expert today, so I think it is more practical to start with the practice of calligraphy.
If you can write in italics, you can write and write in cursive; if you write in cursive, you mean cursive and cursive; if you practice it well, it is easy to learn to write in cursive and cursive again.
Lishu is used today as an art word in decorative arts, and there are some practical values, such as further learning Lishu on the basis of calligraphy, which is not difficult. As for the seal book, it is not easy to understand, and it is useless except for its use in engraving, so you can not learn it.
However, there are big kai and small kai, some people think that you should practice the big kai first, some people think that you should practice the small kai first, my opinion is that the scope of activity of writing the tip of the small kai is small, it is not easy to perform, the big kai is practiced well, the small kai is reduced, there is no big problem, so it is still necessary to practice the big kai first.
Let's talk about the book school
The same is the script, one school has a different appearance, such as European characters square and thin, Yan characters round and fat, Yu characters tactful, Chu characters flowing and so on. Which one we study, of course, can be decided according to their own hobbies, such as liking fat to learn face, like fangzheng to learn Europe, etc.
Once the inscription has been chosen, it is necessary to concentrate on writing it, and do not see different thoughts. For example, the selection is Ouyang Qian's "Jiucheng Guan LiQuan Ming", according to the "G" and "Pro" methods, step by step practice, until it is really successful, at this time the foundation of the European character has been quite solid, if you intend to improve on this basis, you can change other inscriptions.
However, the appearance and style of Ouzi are not only limited to the "Nine Chengguan", such as the "Emperor Fujun Monument" and "Yu Wengong Gong Monument" he wrote, which are somewhat different from the "Nine Chengguan", so when the "Nine Chengguan" is replaced by it after practicing the "Nine Chengguan", it should still be found in the Ou Tian. It was not until the various inscriptions of the European Book were repeated one by one and the stage of practicing the European Book of Letters was not over. At this time, if the interest in writing is getting stronger and the objective conditions permit, you can change other schools of books such as Xueyan and Liu, so as to seek to be specialized and knowledgeable.
