What font should I start with when learning calligraphy?

First of all, I think that as a beginner of calligraphy, we must find the font we like at the beginning and try our best to cultivate our interest in calligraphy art (usually starting with regular script and then cursive script), so as to enhance our confidence in learning calligraphy in a short time and strive to enter the door of calligraphy art as soon as possible. Secondly, we should practice calligraphy step by step. Down-to-earth, step by step according to the requirements of the copybook, so as to practice strokes first, then master the structure, and gradually advance, and finally write the charm of each word on the copybook, so as to realize the use of calligraphy art to reveal and express their feelings and sentiments about life. Third, learn calligraphy initially. You can learn your own easy-to-use words (such as Tang poems or aphorisms). ) According to the post, fully grasp its stroke structure, and then gradually increase the amount of practice, especially to ensure that you can improve yourself to a certain extent before practicing new words, instead of just thinking about writing fast, swallowing dates and scribbling at will, which will affect the progress of your calligraphy practice. Fourth, in the early stage of learning calligraphy, I personally think that you should learn a font first, work hard and practice seriously, and don't covet too much. Only when you have a good foundation in your own calligraphy writing and a certain understanding of calligraphy can you let go of your hands and learn more about different calligraphy arts. In the process of learning, we should pay attention to combining calligraphy theory's study with practice. Chairman Mao once said in "On Practice": "We can't understand what we feel at once, only what we understand can make us feel it more deeply. Feeling only solves the problem of phenomena, while theory solves the problem of essence. The solution of these problems cannot be separated from practice. " For the art of learning calligraphy, only by mastering calligraphy theory, personally experiencing and repeatedly studying can we have a deeper understanding and further improve it. For example, if you learn Jiuchenggong, you can feel the danger of Ou Yangxun's calligraphy art, and if you write Shouchuntang, you can better understand the characteristics of Zhao Ti's calligraphy. Only by contrasting with each other and studying repeatedly can we feel the characteristics of different fonts and different calligraphy styles as much as possible. )

Second, the eyes and hands should be combined and coordinated.

As a beginner of calligraphy art, I think we should first improve our appreciation of calligraphy art. If our appreciation level is not high, you can't write a higher level of calligraphy works. We should have a clear understanding of our calligraphy works, constantly absorb nutrition from ancient inscriptions, often compare and communicate with friends of the same trade, fully understand the parts of our brushwork that have not yet reached, as well as the deficiencies and mistakes in rules and stroke layout, and gradually supplement them. Secondly, we should combine our eyes and hands and coordinate with each other. In the process of beginners, I often encounter such a situation, that is, when I see a calligraphy work, I often think that I can achieve it easily, but I can write it right away, but it is far from it. This is a sign of improper combination of eyes and hands and low eyes. To solve this problem, there is no other way but to find out your own shortcomings and study hard. Thirdly, in the process of learning calligraphy, we should also pay attention to the combination of ancient calligraphy and contemporary calligraphy. While studying a large number of ancient inscriptions, it will be of great help to absorb the successful experience of contemporary celebrity calligraphy and realize their advantages and characteristics. Fourth, pay attention to the combination of temporary writing and creation. You can't think that writing a large number of calligraphy works is a success, which is one of the misunderstandings in learning calligraphy. Writing in the near future is only the basis of calligraphy creation. It will be very effective to write while writing, integrate your recent writing feelings into calligraphy creation and gradually improve your level.
