As a beginner in calligraphy, Lin Tie wants to gain previous experience in writing, structure and composition from traditional classic inscriptions, so as to master the law of writing.
Just as Tang Sun Guoting said: Be careful when posting, and "observe those who are acceptable"; Sun's statement is consistent with what we call "eyes, hands and heart", which is the most elementary requirement of temporary employment, that is, temporary appearance.
This is the first level, mainly through the post to master the statutes, including the specific stippling brushwork, the layout law of font structure, as well as the basic law and composition of ink painting. These are basic skills. We can only lay a good foundation from the classical inscriptions of the ancients through temporary posts and "temporary images" This stage can usually be understood as the "image" stage. At this stage, the more thoroughly you understand, the higher the purity, the clearer the speculation, and the purer and more similar it will be in your hands and pen.
Back to the front:
The second level is the stage of gradual transition to self. This stage is closely connected with the first stage, which can be carried out at the same time, that is, while posting, I ponder and think about my calligraphy personality and artistic concept.
As Lin Sanzhi said? "From the appearance to the non-appearance", Lin Lao's appearance is the foundation and "non-appearance" is the second level. Through the long process of our "temporary image", statutes gradually rise to our hearts, become handicrafts, become our own writing ability, and then rise to our own style and characteristics.
The difference between this stage and the first stage is that you must have your own ideas and personal opinions before you can enter the process of posting and give full play to your pen and ink talent.
Some people are very handy in the transformation of rationality and sensibility, and soon integrate legal posts into their own thoughts, form their own personality skills, and turn them into hand skills, which will be extraordinary. Some calligraphers have long established their own calligraphy characteristics. However, there are very few such people, and it is not necessarily a good thing to debut early and finalize the design early. It is also common to write worse and worse.
