Can calligraphy study be accelerated?

Recently, many parents called to inquire about the courses of hard pen calligraphy and soft pen calligraphy (brush calligraphy). This is definitely a good phenomenon, which proves that we have begun to attach importance to the traditional culture of "China Calligraphy" and hope that our children can learn more from the traditional things left by their ancestors. But with the increase of telephone consultation, I found that many parents would ask, "Do we have a crash course in calligraphy?" Every time I say to my parents, "This is really not."

Why can't calligraphy be accelerated? Let me say it briefly.

Learning calligraphy not only enables us to write beautiful calligraphy, but also is a kind of culture, a unique traditional Chinese character art in China with a history of more than 5,000 years. It is not only the cultural treasure of the Chinese nation, but also unique in the treasure house of world culture and art. Also known as: poetry without words, dancing without words; Paintings without pictures, silent music, etc.

Calligraphy relies on profound cultural background. A person's calligraphy works will change with the increase of age, knowledge and emotional input, and will be more and more touching. As the saying goes, "books are heart paintings."

Does that mean I have to study for ten or twenty years if I want to write beautifully?

Calligraphy can't be accelerated, but there are tricks!

Calligraphy in a broad sense refers to the writing rules of characters and symbols. In other words, calligraphy refers to writing with its brushwork, structure and composition according to the characteristics and significance of words, making it a beautiful work of art.

First, first of all, we must master the foundation of practicing calligraphy.

For example, when many Shaolin disciples started practicing martial arts, they always practiced sitting on piles and stepping on horses. As long as you lay a good foundation, your kung fu will be solid. In fact, the same is true of practicing calligraphy. Regular script is the foundation: practicing regular script can make them familiar with basic strokes, radical strokes and fonts with different structures. To practice with correct brushwork, it requires formal study!

When we have a solid foundation for practicing calligraphy, then we can practice more difficult styles, structures and how to match the whole article, which requires us to study and practice more to write faster and better!

Second, you need to practice your memory.

On the basis of careful observation of fonts, we should also keep in mind the structure of words in copybooks and engrave their glyphs deeply in our brains. Whenever the word is mentioned, we can immediately figure out the shape of the word, so that there are words in our minds!

Third, calligraphy is a combination of eyes, brains and hands.

Calligraphy (writing) is the combination of eyes, brain and hands. With eyes, copybooks are not called "reading posts", but "reading posts". As the name implies, it is to find out what this word looks like and how to write it. Words can appear in the brain, but the hand may not be able to write such words, because the brain may not be able to command the hand, and the hand may not be able to. Hand training is a long-term process, which needs to achieve the consistency of "eyes, brains and hands" and "handwriting". I feel that the pen has become a part of the hand and an extension of it. The hand can command the pen easily, and it is quick if you think fast, slow if you think slow, light if you think lightly, and heavy if you think heavily, thus achieving the combination of "eyes, brains and hands".

It is very important to practice your hands. Mainly refers to strength, wrist strength, feel. When you start writing for a long time, you will feel sore fingers, sore wrists and hands. Exercise more and this phenomenon will disappear!

Fourth, we need to persist in practice and be good at summing up.

Mastering calligraphy requires perseverance, perseverance, solid basic skills and frequent calligraphy practice. You can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days. Note: practice kung fu for one day, not ten days a day; Moreover, when we practice, we need to sum up the rules of practicing Chinese characters: how to keep the strokes coherent (write quickly), how to match the structure with the whole article and so on. In this way, practice can be effective, and practice can be fast and good!
