Many people have a soft spot for regular script, how should beginners learn it?

Chinese characters are a great treasure of our ancient Chinese culture, nowadays, more and more people want to learn calligraphy, practice a good hand, so as a regular script white, how should we beginners learn it?

Regular script, which has been handed down since ancient China and has endured to this day. First of all, I would like to introduce you to a few of the more famous regular script scripts, such as Yan Zhenqing's "Duobao Pagoda Tablet" and Chu Suiliang's "Wild Goose Pagoda Holy Order", both of which I personally like very much, with beautiful fonts, which are very suitable for practice and self-cultivation.

Then, let me talk about the basic steps for beginners to learn regular script:

First of all, you need to pick a brush, basically the size of the selection number is enough, it's enough to buy a dozen or twenty. After buying it, you must protect it every time you finish writing, otherwise the money to buy a pen will be enough for you to spend.

Next, you need to practice the basic strokes and radicals of regular script: horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, pinch, horizontal fold hook, vertical hook, walking bottom, vertical center, and three points of water. Don't look at it just to practice radicals, but each word is made up of these strokes, about a week, practice 2 sheets of paper a day (the kind with 28 squares per sheet) and that's about the same.

Then, you'll need to find a regular script for beginners, Practice from scratch, I remember when I first learned regular script, the teacher chose Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming". Probably finishing one book is considered to be a beginner.

<>By the way, everyone must know that every word has its fixed structureAs long as you practice the structure well, the glyph of your whole character will look good. It is very important to know the word ** collect ** put this point, as long as you understand this knowledge point, you are not afraid of practicing bad words

Finally, let me tell you, although I wrote such a large number of words on it, and read it and feel that it is not so difficult to practice regular script, yes, regular script is not difficult, but it is not enough for you to have such a consciousness, practicing calligraphy, not only your psychology and interest in knowledge, but also your persistence and perseverance, as long as you insist on practicing, you will be able to come on!

You can buy some copybooks and practice them. Imitate other people's handwriting first, and then write your own when you are proficient.

It is best for beginners to copy, take the famous regular calligraphy and paintings, write according to them, and at the beginning do not need to buy blank paper, just use waste newspapers to save money.

Learning calligraphy is a matter that requires extreme patience, many people have a soft spot for regular script, I think the first thing to do well in regular script is to practice horizontal and vertical.

The characteristics of regular script are summarized in four words as follows:

1. Pay attention to the use of pens

Different pen methods produce different shapes and textures of lines, and different lines need different pen methods to reflect. The shape of the pen regular script is smaller, the thickness of the line does not change much, if you do not pay attention to the pen when writing, the strokes will not meet the requirements, and the strokes will appear weak, stiff and rigid.

2. The strokes are clear

The beginning and end of each stroke must be explained clearly, neat and standardized, clean and neat, and can not be scribbled or sticky. However, there must be an internal echo relationship between the strokes, so that the strokes can achieve: not only orderly starting and closing, clear strokes, solid and powerful, but also stopping and continuous, straight but not stiff, bent but not weak, smooth and natural.

3. The structure is neat

Emphasis is placed on the balanced distribution of strokes and radicals, the stable center of gravity, appropriate proportions, and correct glyphs. When the words are arranged together, they should be evenly sized and neat. Although there are also uneven changes in form, it is still neat and neat on the whole.

Learning Methods:

Chapters are an important part of the beauty of the art form of calligraphy. The dot painting is the beauty of the line, the structure of the frame is the beauty of the local composition, and the chapter is the beauty of the overall composition. The chapter method of Zhao Tikaishu can be studied and grasped from two aspects.

1. Uniformity

The overall sense of regular script is first of all neat, and the arrangement of words is equidistant between words and words, lines and lines, giving people a steady and solemn visual effect, and this form is most suitable for regular script in the strict sense of the word. The width and width of the knots, the different shapes of the length produce local uneven changes, so that the neat and uniform regular script will not appear discordant or monotonous.

2. Diversity and unity

When arranging the chapter, we should not ignore the details of each word, such as the shape of the word, the length, the change of the right, the rhythm of the weight, etc., all need to be carefully considered, rigorously designed, and unremittingly after a long period of tempering, before being able to freely carry out the chapter processing, showing a design beauty that seems to have no design, and reaching a higher level of calligraphy art.

Many people start practicing calligraphy from regular script, what are the characteristics of regular script?

1.The character of regular script is characterized by a square font, neat strokes, no connection between structural parts, and proper rules. If the regular script is specific, it should be handled according to the specific situation to make it coordinated.

From the analysis of the structure of Chinese characters, there are generally separate structures, upper and lower structures, left and right structures, surrounding structures and comprehensive structures. The font should be curved horizontally and vertically, and the whole word should be flat. The fairness of the whole character requires a stable center of gravity, and all parts should be balanced and coordinated.

The strokes of regular script are generally straight lines. Although the orientation of the various strokes varies greatly, their strokes are all rigorously in a straight line motion. It is forbidden to exaggerate the action of starting and closing the pen or deliberately reflect the arc and arc of the stroke, resulting in the cumbersome and unnatural stroke.

2.The biggest feature of regular script is that it is neat, beautiful and orderly. In the font is a model, so it is called regular script, and it has been used until now.

There are many types of Chinese calligraphy, and there are many common handwriting font styles in Chinese calligraphy, but the most common is regular script, which is a modern popular handwritten Chinese character. The application is very wide. The dot painting in regular script is very independent, each stroke has a beginning and an end, and each stroke is independent, because there is no connection between the eyebrows.

Regular script is written in a neat and meticulous format, and there are very few Chinese characters with a strict square structure. Most of them are square and well-behaved, so there is a big difference between regular script and official script. More attention is paid to font changes in alignment and neatness, which are the basic characteristics of regular script.

3.The regular script font is square. Although there are very few Chinese characters with a strict square structure, most of them pursue square and regular, which makes the regular script font obviously different from the flat font of Lishu.

Emphasizing the square variation, symmetry, and regularity of the font are the basic characteristics of the regular script structure. The rules of regular script pay attention to both regularity and harmony. The paintings are all one word, called knots; If all the characters are integrated, it's the layout.

Layout or composition is at the heart of the art of calligraphy.

The regular script is square, the strokes are very fair, pay attention to strength, and the longest requires the way to hold the pen, which will be simpler than other fonts.

The chapter of regular script is very integral, particularly neat, and the arrangement of words is equidistant between words and lines, giving people a stable and solemn visual effect.

Pay attention to the use of the pen, the strokes are clear, natural and smooth, straight but not stiff, and the structure is relatively square.

You first practice regular script to lay a good foundation, and then practice the line of writing after the foundation is laid, it is best to practice regular script, it is unrealistic to involve regular script in office writing.

Calligraphy has seal, official script, regular script, line script, cursive five bodies, the vast majority of people and I think that beginners should be based on regular script, but some people think that should start from the official script. The arrangement of the regular script structure is exactly in the middle stage. It evolved from the official script, if the regular script is flat and flat, the Gabo penmanship is the official script.

Writing is simple and flowing, that is, the line of writing, and then writing is simple and grassy, that is, this grass. If you start from the official script, it is difficult to master the penmanship of the regular script, because the penmanship of the regular script is richer and more complex than the official script. It can be seen that practicing the basic skills of regular script can be used as the basis for practicing and writing.

With the foundation of regular script, master the structure and penmanship of regular script, and then write Wei tablet, official script and line script, cursive script. Even seal script, you can get twice the result with half the effort. The regular script can also enrich and change the knotted penmanship of Wei tablet and official script, such as the regular script of Zhu Suiliang; Regular script infiltrates pedestrian writing and cursive calligraphy can increase agility, such as some regular script inscriptions of Zhao Mengfu.

Some beginners are anxious to practice calligraphy and cursive writing, because they do not have the basic skills of regular script, although they write "dragon flying phoenix dance", but they do not have the basic rules of font and the basic skills of dotting, and the result is half the work, and they take a detour.

The best way to practice regular script is to stick, in fact, you can use any sticker, choose the tablet according to your own preferences, Yan, Ou, Liu, Zhao, Pang Zhonghua, Sima Yan's copybook is good, but try to buy a better quality sticker when buying a tablet.

Xingshu is a kind of calligraphy between regular and grass. The writing is more indulgent and flowing, close to cursive; The writing is relatively upright and stable, close to the regular script called the line Kai.

In the process of writing, the pen turns, in the various forms of dot painting are more obvious, the movement of this pen is often between dot paintings, between the words and words left a mutual implication, as thin as the traces of the gossamer, this is the wire.

Xingshu is a quick writing of regular script, and it is the flow of regular script. After the analysis of several groups of regular script and line script, it was found that when regular script and line script were written, the writing method of dot painting, and the guidelines to be followed by the pen, such as center, paving, reverse in and out, lifting the main and Tibetan front, etc., were all consistent, but the writing of the line was more stretched and flowing.

Calligraphy is an art to adhere to, the source of the most taboo three days of fishing, two bai days of drying nets, because of the age of the relationship, you can not practice strokes and directly zhi into the practice of dao word stage, the following is a brief introduction to several methods:

1。Drawing red: It is to fill in the strokes in the text frame outlined by the double hook penmanship, which is suitable for beginners and is generally sold in bookstores.

2。Copying: It is to cover the Dharma of the predecessors with white paper for copying, which is suitable for beginners.

3。Copying: It is to refer to the predecessors' Dharma for copying, which is suitable for those who have a certain foundation.

4。Back: It is to first learn to digest the Dharma of the predecessors, write is not to look at the post, and find out the deficiencies after the completion of the Dharma post.

A few points that should be paid attention to when starting to practice calligraphy:

1 The posture should be correct, with both feet flat on the ground, hands on the case, shoulders flat, back straight, head straight, and eyes on the paper.

2 Hold the pen to point to the real palm, hold the pen in the finger, and move the pen in the wrist. Begin to practice the word pillow wrist, and gradually lift the wrist and suspend the wrist.

3. The penmanship should be clearly distinguished, generally divided into two kinds of square pens and round pens, and the application parts of the center, side and horizontal front should be clarified.

4 Regular script is the basis for learning calligraphy. After learning regular script, I will learn to write in line, and finally cursive. You can learn Wei Bei first.

5 Don't look at the post and write a stroke, first read the post, understand the essentials, and then write a word in one go.

6 First of all, it is necessary to practice the various radicals well, and then it will be easier to form various characters later.

Hello, let me answer your questions and answer your questions. Generally speaking, writing small characters is very different from writing large characters, and the principle is: writing large characters should be tightly knit, and writing small characters must be more than sufficient.

That is to say: write large characters with the precision of small characters; The writing of small characters should be as cramped as large characters, so the ancients said that "to make big characters should be like small characters, and to make small characters like big characters." In addition, Su Dongpo has the essence of saying that "large characters are difficult to be dense and seamless, and small characters are difficult to be more than wide".

What do you mean by that? Because when we usually write large characters, we think that the status (area) is wide and can be swayed at will, but the font becomes loose and empty. Writing small characters is just the opposite, because the ground space is too small, and if you are worried that you can't write, you will inevitably try your best to shrink, and often shrink too much, but become crouched.

This is a natural psychological phenomenon, and it is very easy to offend. Therefore, Su Gong's sentence "size is hard to achieve" is precisely for this kind of expression, and it is even more experienced. The center of gravity of writing small characters and the coordination of strokes are not much different from those of large characters.

As for the pen, it's a little different. The small character pen should be round, graceful, upright and neat; The big characters should be majestic and heavy. When the big character is written, use the reverse front (Tibetan front), and use the back front when closing the pen; When writing small characters, you don't have to use the reverse front, it is advisable to use a sharp edge, and it is advisable to use a pause pen or lift the pen when closing the pen.

For example, if you write a horizontal, the beginning or point of the pen and the end of the pen are round; Write a vertical, start the pen or pause, close the pen is sharp; The pen is thin and thin: the pen is thin and the pen is fat, and at the same time, it is necessary to make a slight arc to the left and right, and the strokes are vivid and affectionate; The point wants to be sharp and round, the pick wants to be sharp and sharp, the bend wants to be inside and the outside is round, and the hook is half curved and half straight. The pen is flexible and changeable, and it cannot be limited.

Choose the right tool, pen, ink, paper and inkstone to choose the right, then to choose the right post, and finally to take a good post and learn from the ancients.

"Actually, you don't have to remember so much, try to start with a horizontal and a strong one, you will have a harvest, don't write it quickly. You have to be very serious about each stroke. Added:

The tradition of Chinese calligraphy has a long history and profound accumulation, and it can be described as a group of bright stars. For lovers who are interested in learning calligraphy, the book world is a temple of art with rich treasures.

This set of copybooks has the following characteristics:

1.A complete set of 4 volumes, each calligrapher has a separate volume, so that the learner can concentrate on imitating and experiencing the characteristics of his calligraphy.

2.Synthesizing a variety of hand-me-down works of calligraphers, recombining them and arranging them according to the basic rules of learning to write, they are basically divided into several parts: basic dot painting exercises, radical exercises, structural form exercises, and character changes, so that learners can study and experience their characteristics and change rules.

3.Chinese characters are made up of basic strokes, but the significance of calligraphy is to diversify the basic strokes. If the handwriting is the same, it loses its artistry.

Based on this reason, the arrangement of "European Style-Ouyang Xun-Introduction to the Righteous Way of Kaishu" deliberately does not extract the dot painting separately for isolated practice, but provides example words with common points, and hints at the key points of the practice on each page. In this way, the learner not only practises the basic stippling, but also notices the calligrapher's flexible and subtle variations in the use of this stippling.

I hope that this method of learning and applying will be more beneficial for beginners to broaden their horizons and lay a good initial foundation.

In addition, it should be noted that the glyphs used by the ancients are very different from today, so please do not use them casually.
