How to write well is what Tian Yingzhang said

　▲When writing a post, pay attention to three strokes in one stroke. This is a shortcut for writing a post. Look at it three times before writing. When did I learn how to write? I just can’t write without leaving the post. If you leave the post and you can write when you come up, that is called not being able to write.

▲You must learn to read posts, your eyes must be sharper, and you must master the rules. Characters with few strokes should be written small, and characters with many strokes should be written thin. Not writing well is not a big problem, but writing without reading the post is a big problem. If you don’t read the post and can’t write well, it won’t be a problem, and you won’t be able to talk about the problem. Calligraphy must be taught and preached, because it is a kind of knowledge.

▲The art of calligraphy is learned, not practiced at home.

▲ Learning calligraphy is a respected and elegant art, and both sons like it. From the emperor down to the beggar, everyone has great respect for people who write. If you learn other things, such as martial arts, some people may criticize you, but no one will say anything bad about people who are good at writing.

▲The whole core content of writing calligraphy is to write a post, post a post, and then post a post again. No matter whose calligraphy style you learn, you must copy it. First of all, you have to make an image. If it is a real pen, write it with a real pen. If it is a phantom pen, write it with an imaginary pen. Do not change it at will. Look at the next stroke three times until you are satisfied with it before you start writing.

▲Don’t be greedy for learning Chinese characters. Some people have written a lot of poetry and calligraphy and showed it to me, but not a single word is correct. What’s the use? I’m telling the truth. Telling the truth is often uncomfortable to hear, but I must tell the truth and cannot lie to you, as that will do no good. So don’t be greedy for too much. When I was a child, my old father taught me to write eight characters, and I have been writing them for several years. 28 Once the Dharma is written down, it can travel throughout the world. I bet.

▲What is the most uncomfortable thing for a person? Losing one’s goals is the most uncomfortable thing. A dead horse in Wangshan means there is still work to be done, but without a goal it is very uncomfortable.

▲Some people say that the calligraphy world is a bunch of ruffians at the top and a bunch of fools at the bottom. Of course, this is related to the current focus of national development. Now the country is focused on construction, mainly solving economic problems first. The calligraphy industry is in a slump, and there is some confusion, especially after the "Republic of China", when some things were messed up. But one day, when the country's economy develops, these calligraphy garbage will be cleaned up. Of course, it will mainly be natural elimination. Some people say, I will practice at home. But when you can't find the direction, you can only write more and more, and the more you write, the more dizzy and confused you become. It's like wandering around in the desert, staying still.

▲Whenever you can treat writing as a meal, you will be able to write well. If you treat it as happiness, you will never be able to write well. You play with it, and it plays with you. I often say that art is the most conscientious. If you do good to it, it will reward you.

▲Art sketching and calligraphy proficiency.

▲When it comes to writing, I can only understand it in my heart and cannot write it out by hand, but I have never been able to write well if I don’t understand it in my heart. You can see at a glance that juggling is accidental in sports but not in art.

1. About writing posture

▲When writing, you must sit upright, don’t shake your upper body, and keep looking for the feeling again and again.

▲When writing, you need to do two things slowly and one thing fast. That is, you should start the pen slowly, start the stroke quickly in the middle, and finish the pen slowly and skillfully.

Writing in this way is legal and looks comfortable. This is exactly the opposite of how nurses in hospitals give injections to patients: two fast and one slow. When nurses give injections, they should insert the needle quickly, push the medicine slowly, and withdraw the needle quickly. This makes people feel comfortable, otherwise the pain will be unbearable. But I see that among the students, not many are fast at writing, and many are slow at writing. If the speed is slow, the writing will not be straight and it will always bend, so the writing should be fast. Being fast does not mean being in a hurry, especially when writing horizontally and folded pen, you need to be slow. For example, when driving, you must be slow when turning, otherwise you may cause an accident. When folding the pen and putting it away, be sure to arrange the tip of the pen. You can know what effect your pen tip will have by just looking at the shape. You should have this hunch, otherwise you will not be able to write. Because as soon as you pick up the pen, you will know whether you can write or not by looking at the penholder, the tip of the pen, and even your posture. This is something you have learned over the years, and was also learned by your father with a stick when you were a child. When Mr. Qi Gong went to the countryside to write couplets, others stood and wrote, but Mr. Qi Gong bent down and wrote carefully with his wrist on his wrist. Because he knows that writing like this is better than writing while standing. Some people say that writing while standing is all about this kind of courage. Such people actually can’t write.

2. About the writing method of strokes

▲The most difficult strokes to write are right dot and straight hook.

▲When it comes to writing hooks, straight hooks are difficult to write. Once you have written straight hooks and right dots, other strokes will become easier to write.

▲For all words with a left-right structure, the left horizontal stroke carries the shoulder.

▲The more inconspicuous the strokes in a word, the more attention should be paid to writing them well, such as the lower right point in the middle of the word "lang". Whenever you write spoken words, you must lift your pen to the right and then pause.

▲What is kneeling pen and playing the front? Kneeling and pen playing is a calligraphy technique term I made up. Fortunately, it has been generally accepted by students.

3. About using ink

▲The best ink to use is Yidege. When using ink, pay attention to mixing it thoroughly, and of course, you should also study the container that holds the ink. I don’t use an inkstone when writing, especially if it’s a new inkstone that can easily damage the pen. The use of inkstones does not require uniformity. Individuals can choose according to their own preferences, but they must pay attention to mixing the ink well and thoroughly, and it is the principle of ease of use. The ink is adjusted well, and writing is smooth, clean and neat. It looks good and energetic. You can try it.

4. About using pens

▲Soak the new pen in water for about 10 minutes. If you use it as soon as it comes up, it will be a good pen. There are only a few good pens in life. Even if they are used up, they will not be thrown away. The ancients often dug holes and buried the used pens.

▲When rinsing a pen, never put it in a water cup or use hot water. You can use warm water. After drying, straighten the edge of the pen. It is best to hang it up. You must know this truth and cherish it. brush.

5. Regarding paper

▲Colored propaganda is not a good paper, but I feel that it is best to write European regular colored propaganda. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

6. What is calligraphy

▲Calligraphy has endless mysteries and is a high spiritual enjoyment.

▲Calligraphy is both a mountain and a sea. To use a metaphor, it is like a person climbing up a cliff with difficulty. When he is almost climbing to the top of the mountain, he finds a cave with two doors at the entrance. When he opens the door, he sees an endless ocean inside. There are two words written on the door: "Calligraphy".

7. How to write well

▲Writing must be done well. In order to make people say yes, you have to force yourself to find fault. Because we haven’t seen through the world of mortals yet, we just want others to say yes. Everyone says that some words are well written, but it is difficult to say at once what is good about them? It just feels good, because some words are just felt. Art is sometimes written unconsciously and subconsciously. But feeling alone is not enough. The most important thing is to promote good preparation. Learning calligraphy means writing calligraphy. In order to learn European calligraphy, I put Ouyang Xun's calligraphy textbooks on the table, sofa, bedside, bathroom and car, and picked them up to read and ponder whenever I had time. We must first address the issue and not be obsessed with reforming it.

I have also written in the calligraphy styles of many calligraphers. In short, I still study European style and other calligraphy styles, just to learn how to write well in European style.

▲There were people in every dynasty who scrawled graffiti, but the scrawled characters could not be passed down. The reason why "Lanting Preface" has been passed down is because it is good. Regardless of whether it is true or false, what can be passed down to future generations is Kung Fu. Wang Xizhi was not a high official, but his handwriting has been passed down because of his good calligraphy. Some people can write well depending on their skill, but they cannot write well. Why? Just because he didn't post anything, some people always think they understand it. In fact, in ten years, you still don't understand many things.

▲Confucius said that learning without knowledge is insufficient. Teach and learn the difficulties. Regarding "风" in the calligraphy learning content this time, a friend told me that he wanted to cry when he saw this character. Another student said that he wanted to vomit when he saw this character. He has written it hundreds of times and still can't write it. good. In fact, no word is easy to write. If you don’t work hard, you will never be able to write well.

▲Every good thing in this world is difficult to do. The same goes for writing. Beautiful words are difficult to write. Every stroke must be precise, I think it’s almost impossible. A slight error can make a huge difference, especially in the art of calligraphy. I once encountered a character that was as big as a fist. I always felt uncomfortable after writing it out. I measured it with a ruler and found that the difference was only one millimeter. This means that even one millimeter difference is not enough. It's the same as people, they all look similar, but some are good-looking and some are not. In fact, it’s a little bit more difficult if you study it carefully. People may not be able to tell if your handwriting is a little bad, but you have to pay for it, so you have to be worthy of it. You should write your work to the best of your ability at all times.

▲I don’t even want to read the words I wrote in the past, but at the time it was at that level, and I felt like I had exhausted my talents. Therefore, we must constantly pursue progress and perfection. Only if you are good will others think you are good. Don’t think that it is just about the same.

▲Some words and strokes are difficult to write, but as long as you write them long enough, you can write them well. If you treat writing as play, you won't be able to write well. The key is where you place it. Calligraphy is the most conscientious thing. If you put some effort into it, it will reward you. This is different from being a human being. No matter how kind or warm you are to someone, he may retaliate with kindness. But art is different. Art is the most conscientious.

▲Many people write very thickly and cannot write finely. The key is that they cannot lift the pen. Once they lift the pen, they can write finely by walking with the tip of the pen.

▲What is the most difficult thing to overcome in this world? Overcoming habits is too difficult. Fortunately, everyone is here to learn. From the beginning, you must pay attention to developing good habits and prepare your posts well.

　▲Can some old habits when writing be changed? It can be definitely said that they can be changed. The question is whether you have the patience
