Ah, have you heard? Recently, there was a beginner in calligraphy who was copying Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace". Alas, this guy is really bold! However, how can I copy such a work?

Ah, have you heard? Recently, there was a beginner in calligraphy who was copying Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace". Alas, this guy is really bold! However, copying such a work, how to say, is not so easy. Not to mention the beginner, even the veterans have to work a little hard.

I have some insight into this challenge. You see, copying this kind of classical calligraphy requires not only a careful attitude, but also a certain understanding of calligraphy. Just like copying a work like "Nine Cheng Palace", it is even more important to the point. There has to be a hint, otherwise it's easy to get caught up in the fire and get yourself in.

For example, looking at the Liquan inscription of "Jiucheng Palace", the words are all refined, the strokes are complex and exquisite, and if you are not careful, it is like getting lost in the labyrinth of classical art. But copying is not just about imitating, it's about understanding the essence of it. Therefore, when writing, there must be a hint of rice grid, like giving yourself a route so that you don't run around.

But then again, copying is not only about copying, but also about understanding and feeling art. Copying a work is like a spiritual dialogue with the masters. Just like this beginner, copying "Jiucheng Palace", maybe you can still smell the ink fragrance of the ancients and feel the precipitation of history in your pen.

Then, this beginner's copying of "Jiucheng Palace" is not only a technical challenge, but also a spiritual practice. Perhaps, in the process, he will discover more about calligraphy, about art, about his own mysteries. Just like the ancients said, "You must be poor in learning art, and you must be thick in reading."
