Read fonts, read structures, read strokes, and analyze the relationship between stroke characteristics and strokes of Chinese characters.

When reading a post, you should not only be aware, but also be aware. In other words, from reading the posts, you will realize that some excellent ancient calligraphy posts do not have to be available. As long as you read carefully and appreciate it repeatedly, you will naturally blend into your own calligraphy creation.

The so-called feeling after reading refers to that calligraphers read rubbings and ink before copying rubbings, or in their usual work, that is, they carefully analyze, study and ponder the strokes and structure of each word in rubbings, as well as the composition, momentum and charm of the whole work. They often can't help but compare pictures with their fingers, and they are excited to copy them by hand.

Read the post from a little painting, carefully study and ponder the beauty of the ancients' pen, word, composition, momentum and charm. Through reading, we can see God with our eyes, so as to deepen our understanding, exercise our visual memory, and enrich, preserve and improve our artistic appreciation. Attach a book and read a hundred books. Reading posts is not limited to one or two books. The practical experience of many calligraphers in ancient and modern times proves that it is better to read posts than to copy them.

We don't have to get close to some inscriptions, but we can read them, deeply understand the three flavors in ancient calligraphy works, and gradually absorb and digest them, so that we can rush to the bottom of our wrists and enrich them on paper, and our hands will naturally follow the height of our eyes, making them smart. Eye-catching, heart-catching, hand-catching, heart-to-hand correspondence, get twice the result with half the effort.

The second step is tracking.

"Tracing" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners use a blue pen to trace the printed red copybook along the handwriting. "Imitation" refers to copying the post, that is, covering the model words with transparent paper and writing them one by one along the shadow of the words on the paper, which is also called writing imitation.

When copying a post, you should pay attention to the pen that follows it, and never go out of shape. You should look at the ins and outs of strokes and try to figure out its brushwork and structure. Copying posts means "writing", and the strokes are full and accurate, so don't fill in the gourd painting.

The third step is to stick to your post.

It means to put the copybook aside and watch the copybook written on the homework paper word by word. This method is helpful to master the brushwork and meaning of Chinese characters, but it is not easy to master the structure of Chinese characters. Sticking a post is to have a basic understanding of the rules of using a pen and writing on the basis of copying a post, and then you can write a post. There are three ways to post: face to face, face to face and back.

Face to face, that is, put the copybook on the opposite shelf and write according to it. This is the most convenient and commonly used face-to-face method.

A glimpse, that is, make a grid with transparent paper (Tian Zige, Mi Zige, Jiugongge, etc. ) and write in style. Mainly used to master the structure of the post.

Back-to-back is to put away the post and write the words in the post by memory, seeking both its shape and its spirit. After the recitation, you can define the words as couplets or articles, and then enter the creative stage.

The fourth step is to recite the post.

Refers to the method of removing the copybook on the basis of copying, recalling the font on the copybook according to your own memory and writing it on the homework paper. This is a key step in practicing calligraphy. Only by carefully examining the words you read and write, can you write accurately.

The fifth step is to create

On the basis of mastering the writing method of the words on the copybook, I learned the writing method of the words not on the copybook by analogy. According to the needs of self-expression, writing a paragraph with center, content and self-contained system is creation.
