How can we learn pen, ink, paper and inkstone?
As the old saying goes, there is nothing but familiarity. The mastery of any skill comes from sweat and understanding. This principle also applies to the practice of pen calligraphy.

To write a good pen, generally follow these two rules: internal step by step, study hard and practice hard; Ask for advice with an open mind, read more and understand more. Generally, learning calligraphy will go through three processes:

1, copybook copying stage. Choose a classic copybook that suits your taste and start practicing in the order of regular script-running script-cursive script. Recommended: Regular script copybooks from Tian Yingzhang, Si Mayan, Gu Zhongan and Lu Zhongnan. In addition, in theory, I can choose Mr. Pang Zhonghua's "Talking about Learning to Write with Pen", which explains the writing method in simple terms. I benefited a lot in those years.

2, the stage of seeking advice from famous teachers. When we copy calligraphy to a certain extent, we will encounter the "ceiling", our writing ability will be weak, and we will enter a period of confusion. At this time, if there is a teacher around, it will get twice the result with half the effort. Whether it's ancient brush calligraphy or modern hard pen calligraphy, we should travel all over Qian Shan, visit famous teachers and ask for advice with an open mind.

Of course, self-copying and asking for advice from famous teachers can be carried out at the same time.

3. Self-contained stage. After copying and teacher's guidance, we have accumulated a lot of writing skills and experience. At this time, we may want to break away from the previous sages and write our own style. This is a relatively high realm, and it is also the realm that every calligraphy lover pursues diligently.

In addition, to practice calligraphy well, there are two points to pay special attention to:

1, good pen. If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first! If you want to write well, you must choose a good pen with moderate price and excellent writing style. Baidu search [Top Ten Pen Brands in the World (with the origin of pens and simple selection and maintenance methods)] is recommended, which contains many pens and selection methods, which is very practical.

Study hard and practice hard. As the old saying goes: Don't write for three days. Especially in the process of practicing pen and ink, the understanding and improvement of writing skills are obtained by writing more and practicing more. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, was diligent in practicing calligraphy. He once dyed all the nearby pools with a paintbrush, and finally achieved great success, leaving behind an eternal story of "Mo Chi".

3. Have a persistent heart. Nothing can be done overnight, and practicing calligraphy is also a test of endurance. It is the easiest to fish for three days and dry the net for two days, so you must be self-disciplined and keep practicing, and the pen will definitely make great progress.
