In fact, to some extent, a seven-point image is enough. Copying is to let us learn the rules of calligraphy, master the corresponding tricks, and understand the characteristics of fonts ... Copying should be like, but don't stand still, because copying doesn't make you a "copying machine", so you might as well copy it directly on the copier.

"Copying the seven-point portrait" comes from the first half of what Mr. Starter said. The complete sentence should be "copy a seven-point portrait and three-point personality, and you can become a calligrapher." This speech attracted a lot of controversy, and many people questioned whether there were too few seven-point images.

In fact, copying is a necessary process for us to learn calligraphy. Some beginners will fall into a misunderstanding that plagiarism must be very similar. Actually, copying a lot is not the purpose of learning calligraphy. Calligraphy copying is not a day's work, but a gradual process. At the beginning of copying calligraphy, it is necessary to take "very similar" as the criterion, but copying calligraphy is a taboo. The most important rule in learning calligraphy is to learn the complete information of copybooks, not to copy them mechanically. In fact, the copying of calligraphy is difficult to be "very similar".

Copying copybooks needs to be based on a degree, and copying only needs to be above a degree. The brushwork above "degree" conforms to the rules, and there is no problem with the character structure. Plagiarism doesn't need to be exactly the same, but it is forbidden to be one-sided. Copywriting is dead, and people are "alive". Copying copybooks should be based on verve and handled flexibly. The same is true of calligraphy stickers, which don't need to be engraved like stone tablets on copybooks.

Calligraphers who can become great calligraphers will have their own characteristics and styles when writing calligraphy. Even if you plagiarize, you don't stick to the words, but at the same time you reflect your own style. For example, the copy of Mr. Qi Gong's mysterious tower monument is not very similar, but its charm still exists. He took Liu Gongquan's font as the cornerstone, savored its charm, internalized it into self-knowledge and inclusiveness, and thus got the mysterious tower monument of Qigong version. This is the real Mr. Qigong, and it is an example for everyone.

Of course, we are not saying that we are opposed to beginners aiming at copying, but that when copying, we should not treat it rigidly and learn the advice given by calligraphers in isolation. You should add your own understanding and treat it specially according to your own situation.
