What should I pay attention to when writing large character calligraphy?

With my decades of practice and experience, I think that the most important thing in writing big characters is the knot of the word, that is, the structure of the word, because the big character needs to be seen from a distance, if the knot is not good, the effect will be poor from a distance, and some will even stagger, only at a glance it is very beautiful, it will attract attention and make people never get tired of looking at it. The second is the layout, such as the size of the word, thickness, blank, etc., only properly handled, it will be a good work, otherwise, it can not be regarded as a good work, such as the paper is large and small, the word is large and thin, and the white space will be more, on the contrary, the white space will be less, one is a piece of white, one is a black, are not advisable. Again, it is to use the pen with ink, the most taboo thing to write a big character is to write a stroke dipped in ink, if you write a word many pauses, no matter how good the calligrapher can not write a good word, this requires that the pen and ink should be selected before writing the big word, try to do it in one go, if you encounter a word with many strokes, try to minimize the number of dips in ink, the less the better.

Finally, it is decorated, a better work, can not be missing the title, pay attention to the number of words and the size of the word in the title, there is no unified standard, it depends on how you master, most of the general large characters are simple.

The font used is selected. Generally, it is still in italics or official scripts, which are easy to recognize and easy to understand the content. Although the size of the font has a certain relationship with the space, it should not be too large, and it would be a bit exaggerated if a person stood on it and wrote.

Large-character calligraphy can give people a majestic visual impact. Compared with small characters, large characters are more difficult to change from the pen, knots, chapter layout to ink color, and it is a big mistake to simply think that writing the word is a big character. Writing large characters pays attention to "Shihong", "Ink Thick", "Qi Enough" and "Line Sinking" to express its vigorous, vigorous and graceful spirit.

Small characters mainly rely on fingers and wrists, while large characters require the cooperation of arms, elbows and even waist.

There is a degree of retraction. The writing of large characters must abide by the rules, and cannot be written casually and in the form of spirits. The structure should be compact and the strokes should be heavy, which can reflect the aesthetic habits of the Chinese people.

To master the dot painting and chapter method, this is also the biggest difficulty, with a small pen to write small characters usually with the tip of the pen to write, the dot painting is not very difficult to write subtle, and writing large characters is different, large characters can be said to use the brush as a whole.

Writing big characters is first of all a bucket pen writing, so it is natural to hang the wrist to carry the pen and move the pen, which requires decisiveness and fortitude, a stroke and a stroke, all of which must be sent to the pen, that is, the stroke is written in place.

The equipment is complete. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

Correct posture. The body should sit upright, the paper should be straight, the qi should be calm, and the spirit should be gathered.

Be clear about your goals and know which font you want to learn.

You should pay more attention to this stroke, so that you can write better.

I think we should pay attention to the structure and the handwriting should be as neat as possible.

Mingren Fengfang's "Book Formula" said: "If the diameter is above, such as the letter of the letter of the word, people will stand up." With all his strength from the shoulders and elbows, he pinches the end of the ink pool with five fingers, as if holding the iron plastic to paint the sand and mud, so that the hand is three feet away from the paper, and then the eight methods are complete, and the left and right are free of disease.

This detailed description of how to write large characters from holding the pen to moving the pen, and the effect that should be achieved. Kang Youwei said in "Guangyi Boat Shuangji" that "it is difficult to list books" and "it has been difficult since ancient times". It can be seen that big characters are difficult to write, and there is a consensus between ancient and modern times.

To concentrate on design, the current calligraphy is very particular about the overall layout, if there is no good design for a work, then no matter how good the writing is, it will make people feel the lack of form.

Writing large-character calligraphy should start from the basics, and only after learning the basic things will the progress be rapid.

I'm going to consult a calligraphy teacher for this one, these people are more experienced.

If you write a brush, you can try a line of writing if you have a small pen, and if you have a large pen, you can try a line.

Hebei Education Publishing House has published a new book of "The Eight Immortal Songs in the Book of Xiaogu Bang". The word is about 20cm square, and it is really enjoyable to look at.

Calligraphy is easy to write small characters, but it is more difficult to write large characters, mainly becauseBecause the strokes of large characters are too long, it is not easy for us to grasp the rhythm when learning to write.

Take writing calligraphy as an example, when we first practiced calligraphyThe wrists and arms do not know how to exert force, and it is easy to write poorlyWhen writing large characters, the key is the structure of the writing, and each stroke and every stroke must be evenly forced, otherwise the written words will look like people have a sense of unevenness. Because the strokes are relatively short, it will be much easier to grasp the strength.

So for beginners, practicing small print is much easier than practicing typing.

Nevertheless, howeverWhen most people practice calligraphy, they start with large characters。In addition to the fact that the requirements of large characters are more difficult than those of small characters, but also because of the learning of large characters, small characters can naturally come naturally. But if you learn to write in small characters, the big characters will appear spineless, soft as weak.

Practicing calligraphy is a gradual process and cannot be achieved overnight, so you must have perseverance。However, many people have done research on how to master the skills of writing large characters, and during the Tang Dynasty, there was a great calligrapher who devoted himself to the study of calligraphy, and he invented a method of writing large characters, called Jiejie Jiajin. This method is to let people who write big characters pay attention to writing section by section when writing, don't be greedy, and return the pen at the end of each section, so that the strength of writing big characters can be re-energized in the process of returning to the pen.

The words he wrote in this way were strong and powerful, and it also saved a lot of time in practicing calligraphy.

In calligraphy, whether it is large or small, it requires continuous practice and perseverance in order to gain a full harvest.

If the words are not very well written, it is relatively difficult to find, and although the words are small, the requirements are more detailed, and it will be much more difficult to write well than the large characters.

Because the strength and curvature are small when writing small characters, it is necessary to grasp the balance when writing large characters, and the pattern must be optimistic.

Because calligraphy is easier to write small characters, but it is difficult to master large characters, so there is a saying.

Because the brush itself is much larger than the ordinary pen, when writing large characters, the space of each part is relatively large, it is difficult to control the size and distance, and if you write small characters, you use the nib part, which is very similar to the usual writing pen, so it is easier.

Because it's hard to see the details in small print, but when you're writing big, it's easy to see the style and strength of your handwriting.

This is because when writing large characters, it is difficult to grasp the stroke of the pen if the characters are large, which makes it difficult to write.

Because if you write large characters, the strokes are too long, so it is difficult to write well and it is difficult to master.

I think it's very difficult to control small characters in calligraphy, and I find it difficult to write when I'm writing bigger.

Writing with a brush, there is no such calligraphy as you said, so let's practice it honestly and slowly.

1. Complete equipment. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to really learn calligraphy well, the four treasures of the regular study are indispensable.

When practicing calligraphy, you must use a regular calligraphy pen, the wolf is harder, the sheep is softer, soak it in warm water, clean it in time after writing, and hang the tip of the pen downwards for safekeeping. Use the ink of Zhonghua or Yidekaku, not the kind of ink that you use to write board newspapers in the office. It is necessary to practice the daily judgment on the rough-edged paper, and do not practice in the newspaper to save trouble.

To code Qi with an inkstone to hold ink. If the inkstone is too heavy and too large to carry, you can also use a small porcelain dish instead. When writing, a certain proportion of water should be added to the ink to dilute the gelatinity, and if the proportion is not well mastered, you can adjust it with an ink block.

2. Correct posture. The body should sit upright, the paper should be straight, the qi should be calm, and the spirit should be concentrated. You can write standing or sitting. Pay attention to the hanging wrist when writing while standing.

3. Be clear about your goals and know which font you want to learn. Generally speaking, beginners should start with regular script. The face is round and thick, and the willow body is sharp and handsome.

Choose a copybook as a template. If you are learning with a teacher, you will be guided by the teacher to practice calligraphy or choose a calligraphy. If you are self-taught, it is recommended that Yan Zhenqing's "Family Temple Tablet", "Qinli Tablet" (choose one of the two), and Liu Gongquan's "Shence Military Tablet".

4. How to learn words. In my experience, you can start with a stroke or a red stroke. However, if you want to talk about a solid foundation, it is better to write strokes first.

I Chi Chongling remembers that there is a kind of regular script (Yan Ti, Liu Ti) on the market to sell a kind of introductory character book, the basic strokes in it are very standardized, and there are specific pen movement methods, it is recommended to buy a copy of the writing. Once the strokes are familiar, it's time to draw red. Write the double hook first, that is, use a pen (it is recommended to use an oil pen, not a gel pen) to trace the outline of the word on the rough-edged paper.

Then write a single hook, that is, use a pen to trace the skeleton of the word on the paper to imitate. Finally, I wrote it against the copybook. The approximate ratio is that if you want to write a line of double hooks, you need to write two lines of single hooks and two lines of proximity.

5. Be persistent. Calligraphy is not a skill that can be learned quickly, and you must be mentally prepared to fight a protracted battle. Be persistent every day, preferably without interruption.

People say that if you don't leave your hands, you can't leave your mouth, and if you don't practice for three days, your previous results will be discounted. If you don't practice for ten days, you will lose all your efforts.

Pay attention to the structure should be reasonable, and the handwriting should be as neat as possible.

Don't go out of the way, write out incongruous, uneven.

1. Practice basic strokes.

2. It is necessary to carefully study the structure of each word, such as: left and right structure, upper and lower structure, etc., to find out the rules.

3. Generally start with regular script, you can buy a copybook, (preferably the four majors).

4. Be calm down and make rapid progress!
