Can you tell us about your experience creating calligraphy?

I feel that I don't write as well as I usually write when I relax and practice calligraphy, maybe because I pay too much attention to the effect, and I feel very dissatisfied with it many times.

In the early days of my creation, I was so confident that I couldn't even arrange the most basic Tang poems. I don't know how many words should be put in each line, either loose before and then tight, or tight before and then loose.

In the whole process of creation, I realized that calligraphy creation needs inspiration, and this inspiration is actually determined by the state of mind at the time of creation.

In fact, there are many connections between the creation and design of calligraphy works, the writing content can not be written all over the face, and a certain amount of blank space should be left around, of course, the blank space is not white, but the space, is the imagination, and the appropriate blank space can neutralize the overall layout, so that the whole work has a more artistic sense.

There are many factors involved in the creation of calligraphy. When learning to create for the first time, you should be calm and calm, and you can't be in a hurry to pay attention to quality, otherwise you will often waste many pieces of rice paper and still not get a satisfactory work.

Calligraphy works should be laid out as a whole, and the center of each character should be on the center line of each grid, so as to achieve "horizontal rows and vertical rows".

When it comes to calligraphy, it is actually a very complex and comprehensive activity. In creation, it is necessary to take into account both technical and psychological factors.

Calligraphy is a lyrical art, and the production of each calligraphy work always shows the author's mental journey before the pond or when he was writing a book.

Calligraphy is not only a depiction of the mind, but also a line to express and express the changes in the mood and emotion. In the creation of calligraphy, objective objects such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone act on the eyes, affect the heart, and produce many psychological phenomena.

The creation of calligraphy is a process of comprehensive cultivation, which not only reflects the connotation of the calligrapher's aesthetic thoughts, talents, personalities and other internal aspects, but also finds a better form of expression, dazzling.

In the early stage of creation, in the face of confusion of thoughts, cold content, and embarrassing format, I am afraid that I will not be able to write a masterpiece in a hurry without psychological preparation.

Summary. Content is the foundation of calligraphy creation, so the first step in calligraphy creation is, of course, to choose good content. The selection of content is also very particular, if it is a random creation, the content can be arbitrary, if it is a special exhibition or competition, it is necessary to choose the content related to the topic.

Now they are advocating self-written content, if they have a good cultural background, self-writing is of course the best choice, just like the best masters compose their own lyrics and even sing their own songs.

Hello. How do I create calligraphy?

Content is the foundation of calligraphy creation, so the first step in calligraphy creation is, of course, to choose good content. The selection of content is also very particular, if it is a random creation of Chang Naping period Xunxian, the content can be more casual, if it is a special exhibition or competition, it is necessary to choose the content related to the topic. Now they are advocating self-written content, if they have a good cultural background, self-writing is of course the best choice, just like the best master composes his own lyrics and even sings by himself.

Once the content is decided, it's time to decide on your creative style. Creative styles include fonts and chapters, sharp spines, etc. There are five kinds of fonts: seal, official script, line script, cursive script or regular script, of course, there are extended fonts in each font, such as Wei tablet in the accompanying Yu Kaishu, etc., according to their own advantages to choose the font.

The third step in calligraphy creation is to determine the tools, and pen, ink and paper are the three most important items that will directly affect the effect of the work. If the conditions permit, try to use good pens, good ink and good paper. The words of the pen should be determined according to the size of the word of the work, of course, it varies from person to person, there is no standard answer, of course, you can't always use a large pen to write a small letter.

The paper used for calligraphy creation is also very subtle, and now some people also like to dye it themselves, and it is also a very good way to make a different kind of paper. The principle of using paper is that it can be colored, but not too fancy.

[Calligraphy learning experience].

First, learn calligraphy to be diligent, you insist on practicing, calligraphy is no shortcut, the words are written one stroke at a time, only insist on practicing, after a certain period of time can there be results, do not think about immediate results and one step to the sky.

Second, to learn calligraphy, you need to be diligent in thinking, and it is best to find a teacher. Calligraphy is an art, and to enter the door of art, it is best to have a guide. If you can find a famous master as your teacher, then the effect of learning calligraphy will be twice as effective with half the effort.

If you can't find a teacher, you can often look at the calligraphy and the works of famous artists in the past dynasties, and think about the structure, shape, strokes, force, layout, etc. of the word when looking at the work, and think about how to make a word have an artistic sense, that is, it is both beautiful and beautiful, and has charm. To do this, you need to observe and experience it over time, and I think this is also the state I want to reach.

Third, calligraphy should have its own characteristics. Of course, this refers to a relatively high level of calligraphy. When calligraphy reaches a relatively high level, we should consider adding our own characteristics, plus our own understanding and comprehension of calligraphy, and reflect our own ideas in calligraphy, so that the words are not only tangible and beautiful, but also have gods and gods, which is a good calligraphy.

Calligraphy and writing skills].

There is a "Lu Feng" method in the pen, which follows the pen to make the beginning of the stroke pointed or square; There is a "hidden front method", the reverse front into the pen, the horizontal painting wants to be right first left, and the vertical painting wants to go down and go up first, so that the pen is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically round. The pen should learn to "use the pen in the center", so that the tip of the pen often runs in the middle of the dot. In order to make the strokes strong, we must also learn to use the pen with astringency, stay in the line, stay in the line, and avoid flashiness.

There are "Lu Feng" (gradually lifting the pen out of the paper, and the painting is pointed, such as hanging needle vertical, apostrophe, pinch, hook), and there is "Zangfeng" (the tip of the pen is withdrawn into the painting, such as hanging and dewing, and the end of the stroke is round).

In fact, calligraphy creation is not a skill, only by seeing, practicing and learning more, can we improve the level of calligraphy.

Write a few strokes a day, copy first and then create, find a font that suits you and practice more.

Copying, copying, copying, silently writing, silently writing, seeking its charm, and combining its own aesthetics to create.

The method of using the pen of the ancients is the most important! It's not easy through the ages.

It is fair to start with Tang.

The charm can be found in Wei and Jin.

The perspective on the creative process of calligraphy is as follows:

Chinese calligraphy is an ancient and special art, calligraphy creation eventually produces a work, as a visible object and exists, in fact, as a "time and space" art of calligraphy, at the same time focus on the process, the preparation before creation, the process of writing the rhythm of activities, is to be fully enjoyed.

In the artistic field of calligraphy creation and appreciation, the brushwork of space is always linked to the experience of time, and its expression is in various ways before the artistic creation process, and calligraphers often use the meaning of the pen to nurture the symbiosis of time and space. Wang Xizhi's "After the Pen Array of Mrs. Inscription" summed up the experience of creation and said: "Those who want to write should first study the ink, concentrate and meditate, anticipate the size of the glyphs, lean upright, and vibrate to connect the muscles and veins, which is intended to be in front of the pen, and then write ......”

What the calligrapher expresses and appreciates is a rhythm that interweaves time and space. The so-called "quiet and observing" is actually connected with temporal memories.

Chinese calligraphy is not only a visual space art, but also a temporal art that is quite difficult to grasp in terms of creation and appreciation, and it is difficult to be irreversible and irreversible in this time.

Calligraphy, as a "space-time" art, is not only for creation, but also for the appreciation of laughter. Appreciating a work of calligraphy art, from the beginning to the end, there is also a "heart-to-heart" time and process with the creator, time and space travel back to the creative artistic conception at that time, into the creator's heart, to achieve a kind of communication.

The term "calligraphy creation" is an extremely popular term today, but it has never been accepted by the contemptible people. In my opinion, any other art can be "created", but calligraphy cannot. Let's start with a definition of calligraphy:

Calligraphy is a traditional art about writing. First of all, no matter how you write it, what you write is characters, it's Chinese characters, not anything else, how did these Chinese characters come from? It is inherited and evolved step by step by our ancestors, rather than "created" by ourselves.

Secondly, calligraphy is a traditional art, whether the aesthetics of calligraphy or the method of learning calligraphy, are from ancient times to the present little bit of inheritance and accumulation, these inheritance and accumulation after thousands of years of precipitation gradually accepted by everyone, is the root of calligraphy, not to human will for the transfer, which determines that in calligraphy "creative space" is extremely limited. Third, and most importantly, the term "calligraphy creation" fundamentally goes against the essence of calligraphy. The ancients:

The book, the heart is also painted. "Any good calligraphy work should be a natural expression of the calligrapher's emotions, not deliberate. And the word "creation" emphasizes the meaning of intentional, deliberate.

Which of the three major books in the world was "created"? Maybe even the author himself didn't think about it before he wrote it. They were almost unprepared before writing, and it was completely the natural release of the writer's emotions when they reached a critical point.

Calligraphy is a very "casual" art, skill, learning, is inevitable, and mood, emotion, environment, and so on are its accidentality, this combination of accident and inevitability, in Buddhism is called "fate", and by no means "creation".

Nowadays, there are many so-called modern calligraphy that incorporates advanced concepts of how to do it, and there are countless eye-catching trendy theories that advocate how calligraphy should be combined with what doctrines. All I know is that no matter what kind of art, if you want to succeed, you must have advanced techniques and solid basic skills, and these techniques and basic skills must be acquired through a long period of study and training. The reason why the art of calligraphy has endured for a long time is precisely because of the endless charm and vitality of traditional arts, and the formation of a calligrapher's personal style is the result of the integration and trade-offs in writing, intentionally or unintentionally, after in-depth study of various ancient classics.

Many of today's people's ideas of leaving aside tradition stem from the "laziness" of not being able to sit on a cold bench for decades (of course, not all, it is not excluded that some calligraphers today want to make some reforms and new attempts on some traditions, and their spirit is commendable, but it still takes time to test whether they are right or wrong). In calligraphy, those who opportunistically attempt to "overtake in corners" will fail, and these have been verified by countless historical facts.

A calligraphy elementary school student who is not a beginner has a shallow view, with a picture of his own clumsy characters.
