Should I continue to practice calligraphy with a soft pen ?

Continue, I am also a calligraphy lover, I am very similar to your situation, I have not practiced for a year, I have started to practice this holiday, I started to be a little scared, and my hands have been raw. But in the end, I mustered up the courage and wrote well, and slowly regained my previous feeling. Calligraphy is the most profound art of the Chinese nation, you must persist in writing, you will definitely be able to do it.

Encourage it.

Calligraphy relies on practice to make perfect.

It's definitely going to keep practicing.

I also practiced intermittently, so after a long time, the technique regressed a little.

In fact, calligraphy, as an art of self-cultivation, can be practiced no matter what the circumstances.

To practice, everyone lacks the courage to break through to the peak state they think they have reached, gritting their teeth and trying, as a kind of attempt.

Usually you can pick your favorite or feel beautiful words to start practicing, but you must practice one word again and again, until you practice well, do not seek more, only seek refinement, practice words do not always rub, to be pro.

Then what do you really like calligraphy, if you like it, you still have to practice it, if you don't practice for a while, you will be a little hands, practice makes perfect, take your time.

Isn't that years since I practiced? Calligraphy should be practiced from time to time, and if you haven't written for a long time, you may be rusty.

I didn't write it for a long time last time, and I couldn't find the feeling.

But after practicing slowly, the feel will come back.

If you haven't practiced for a long time, you may have a new feeling when you write again, which is actually quite good.

Let's tell you this, the relationship between the hard pen and the soft pen can be understood as a subordinate relationship, and you can even doubt that the person with a good hard pen can even doubt whether he can write brush words (soft calendar burner pen); But a person with a good soft pen will not disappoint with a hard pen. I've met a lot of calligraphy people and enthusiasts – including myself – and the general phenomenon is that their hard pens are beautiful, but very few actually learn hard calligraphy.

If you have a solid foundation in calligraphy, you don't need to practice hard pens, and there will be a kind of charm in it. Even if you don't know how to use a hard pen, you have mastered the structure of the font itself, the echoes between the characters, and the ups and downs of the whole paragraph, which is the so-called charm of calligraphy. With Shen Yun, you can completely ignore the penmanship of hard pen calligraphy, and even go your own way.

Just like walking grass, what is penmanship? There is no penmanship, verve is penmanship. At that time, the elephant was invisible, and the sound of the voice was also.

I say so much, just hope that when you practice calligraphy, if time permits, start with a soft pen first, so that you can have both form and spirit. No matter how good a hard pen is, if you have never explored the charm of soft pen calligraphy, you can only be regarded as tangible and godless.

How to practice soft pen calligraphy:

1. First of all, prepare a suitable pen, generally the most versatile and fine brush, there are various types of brushes, and it is especially important to choose a brush that suits you. Roughly according to the size of the characters written, it can be divided into small block pen, medium block pen, and large block pen. According to the type of hardness of the pen can also be divided into wolf pen, sheep pen and so on, ancient calligraphers often make their own brushes, with the development of the times we choose a good pen is not difficult.

2. It is necessary to study ink, especially to write important works or small letters, which are much worse than ink, and veterans must agree. As for daily practice, it doesn't matter, it's just convenient. The ready-made ink is heavier and lighter, so the ink is smoother and smoother, and the particles and layers are richer.

Especially the old ink that is more than 30 years old, it is very easy to use and addictive at one time. Good ink must be paired with good inkstone and good paper to play effectively, which is endless, but in order to make the work better, everything is worth it.

3. Sun Guoting's book is cloudy: paper and ink are sent together, and they are also combined. It is a famous precept through the ages, and Xun is not false.

Ink grinding is quite time-consuming, but there are two methods used by professional calligraphers: buy an electric ink grinder, but most of the commercially available products are not suitable, and there is still room for improvement. Mix half of the amount of water with ready-made ink, and then grind it with ink strips, the effect is good.

Don't believe the phrase that some book treatises mention the unscrupulous pen and ink, there may be less than ten calligraphers in the history of this ability.

4. Both sides of the raw edge paper for practicing calligraphy can be used, and one view is that the rough side of the raw edge paper should be used, that is, the so-called rough surface. The reason is that the rough side of the rough-edged paper will be more prone to ink bleed, while the smooth side of the ink will not penetrate as much as the rough side. In addition, when the pen is in the line, there is a feeling of the power of the pen and paper, and there is more feeling when the action of lifting and pressing, in other words, the friction between the rough side and the brush is greater, and it is easier to reflect the pen force.

ExpandExhibition Materials

Paper: a sheet made of plant fibers, used for painting, printing books and newspapers, packaging, etc., paper: a general term for paper, paper is counted in sheets, so it is called.

Paper is generally divided into: letterpress printing paper, newsprint, offset printing paper, coated paper, book cover paper, dictionary paper, copy paper, board paper, etc., raw edge paper: raw edge paper paper is thin and soft, light yellow, no water resistance, good ink absorption, raw edge paper should only be single-sided printing, mainly for ancient costume books.

White paper: white paper has small elasticity, toughness, and is not easy to break when folded, mainly used for printing packaging boxes and commodity decoration lining paper, and in book binding, it is used for binding materials such as the inner cover of simple hardcover books and the diameter paper (spine) in hardcover books. According to the paper surface, the white paper is divided into two categories: powder white and ordinary white paper, and there are two kinds of gray and white background according to the bottom layer.

You can practice soft pen and brush writing first.

It can also change the good-looking degree of writing to a certain extent.

Hard pen calligraphy. The characteristics can be improved in the short term, and the time is short, because the hard pen has little requirements for the control of the tool. You just need to practice strokes, the structure and layout of the characters.

Soft pen (brush calligraphy) is a kind of calligraphy that is relatively comprehensive, in a short period of time will not practice calligraphy, it is not only the structure of the character strokes, but also the use of tools, the pen, the pen and the control of the brush, comprehensive calligraphy.

If you just want to simply change to learn to write, you can directly learn hard pen calligraphy in the short term, learn hard pen calligraphy, and then learn soft pen is completely different, that is, a good soft pen will not be the same good writing. If you want to learn calligraphy comprehensively for a long time, then it is recommended to learn brush calligraphy, so that the child's understanding of the meaning of words and the overall understanding of Chinese characters is more profound, and it is easy to turn to a hard pen in the later stage.

Extraction code: icvc Chinese text, a long history, widely used, about a quarter of the world's population is using it, in addition to practical value, but also artistic value, so calligraphy works are often combined with painting, is the asset of our country's culture, there is a calligraphy class that can be learned well from zero foundation, 15 days to easily write a beautiful life!

First of all, you should start practicing from the strokes of the word, but you can't just know that it is not enough, you have to carefully figure out the structure of the word, the penmanship of the pen, look more, practice more, and figure out more. If you can't see progress in one month, you can gain something in two months, and you can succeed if you persevere

Hello, I am a member of the Xiamen Young Calligraphers Association in Fujian Province, and I am happy to answer your questions. There is nothing better to copy, I have learned 10 years of soft pen calligraphy, now the waist is standing problems, I practice the brush has never sat and practiced, standing for 10 years, my master does not even let him sit when eating, in order to practice the stability of standing with his feet apart, the gas should be calm.

Okay, the above are all digressions, I recommend it to you here, you can choose Yan Zhenqing's when you are just getting started, but Yan Zhenqing is now a multi-treasure pagoda and a Qinli monument on the face Both Yan Zhenqing wrote when he was young, this does not have much value in copying, if you want to learn from Yan Zhenqing, you have to buy Yan Zhenqing's self-written post, that is, a farewell post written by Yan Zhenqing himself before leaving. This has the value of copying, because all Yan Zhenqing's hard work is integrated into this book. Others are not very good, European style, you can also do it, but you don't take it too much, if you perform outside, or write and give it away, it looks very unstable and atmospheric with European style.

I still highly recommend Liu Gongquan. Liu Gongquan has two copybooks, one is the Shence Army Tablet and the other is the Mystery Tower Tablet. After the war, the Shence Military Monument can already be said to be unrecognizable and not very good, so it is still recommended to Liu Gongquan's Mysterious Tower Monument.

Girls should start with Liu Gongquan's regular script, which is more delicate and energetic, Ouyang Xun is more sophisticated, and it is difficult for girls to learn it in place. Practice regular script first in practicing the book, and you can practice Wang Xizhi's Lanting preface in the book, but you still have to practice the regular script first.

I just started practicing from Ouyang Xun's Jiucheng Palace, and I have been learning calligraphy for 8 years, but now I rarely practice, studying, no time. I have learned the italics for a long time, the italics are a bit bitter to learn, and the shape is very important, and the writing of a word is not good, it is likely to affect the effect of the whole sheet, but the italics are practiced, and you can learn the book, so as not to feel a little uncomfortable after learning other books. But it also depends on your own situation.

Ou, Yan, Zhao, Liu, all of them.

Ou Ti (Ouyang Xun's), Yan Ti (Yan Zhenqing's), Liu Ti (Liu Gongquan) can be.
