1, when posting, you must choose everyone, and you must choose two ancient masters, four masters and so on. And you must practice regular script first, don't aim too high. I practice my face because I like it, so it's very important for you to look at it more when you choose to post it, and choose what you are interested in and like.
2. As for long-peak wool, fringed paper, copybook, felt, ink, inkstone and pen washing, these are all empty. It is not necessary to prepare so well at first, but you still need the necessary calligraphy stationery and calligraphy habits. As I said just now, the writing brush suggests that you buy wool. Sheep hair is soft and good at expressing the details of calligraphy. Wolf hair is hard, suitable for beginners, and good at showing the original mine in books and paintings. But why do I recommend you to use wool? Because sheep are not easy to learn ... but it is very easy for you to learn to use wolf hair again. However, using a pen is very particular. Some copybooks are easy to write wool, while others are easy to write wolf hair. You will gradually realize it in your study, especially the conversion between Fang Bi and the round pen. You can also use two brushes. Just buy a brush of about 30. Remember: practice courage with a big pen, practice your mind with a small pen, write small words with a big pen, and don't write big words with a small pen. Paper can be tassel paper, meta-book paper or newspaper, which is cheap and practical. Ink can be used in the cupboard. I can buy an inkstone for my students. I bought one at the beginning for 5 yuan, and I still use it now ... As for the felt, it can only play a cleaning role, and pen washing is basically a luxury, but! ! ! Be sure to wash the brush after each practice.
Calligraphy has a lot to do with wrist, but it is not the strength of wrist. The wrist should be flexible, which requires long-term practice, especially hanging the wrist. The strength of wrist and hand does not determine the quality of calligraphy, which involves a term-pen power. Pen power is not made by hand, but involves the hardness of paper, pen, ink relationship, lifting and pressing kung fu and other factors; There is also the physical strength, experience, cultivation and calligraphy talent of books. A person who has been engaged in calligraphy for a long time is full of power as long as he picks up a pen. At ordinary times, he can turn his strength to the brush and let it go, and the lines are refreshing. It is impossible to do this without considerable practical experience.
It's easy to write with a pen, just practice with a brush. People who write well in calligraphy will naturally work hard. But you have to understand: being able to write Chinese calligraphy doesn't mean being good at it. There is a big difference between Pang Zhonghua's hard pen and Tian's hard pen, if you slowly realize it. The reason is simple: Tian is a master of writing brush (I don't mean to belittle Mr. Pang here at all, his coin calligraphy has influenced a generation after all, and his contribution to China's hard pen calligraphy is unforgettable).
In addition, I suggest that you read more books on the history of calligraphy, and first get an objective and comprehensive understanding of China's calligraphy and China's calligraphers, as well as their famous works, good brushwork, hard work, who you studied with, especially hard work.
No matter how much you say and how well prepared you are, it's useless. Finally, I send you a story: Sun Zhiyong, the seventh monk of Wang Xizhi, first studied calligraphy in Xiao Ziyun, and later admired the calligraphy of his ancestors Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, so he built a small building in Yongxin Temple to practice calligraphy, vowing that "if you can't write, you won't leave this building". In this abandoned small building, he practiced calligraphy obsessively. After thirty years of hard work, he used one brush after another. He often throws his worn-out brush into a big urn, and over time, he has accumulated several urns. Zhiyong later buried these brushes in a place and buried them with his own inscription, which was called "returning the pen to the tomb". After 30 years of hard work, we have finally become everyone, and many people are looking for their own original works. They always deal with it smartly, so that "there is a backlog of documents, a large number of cases, and the dust falls." There are many people who come to consult, and his outdoor space is often full, and even the threshold is trampled. Zhiyong wants to reinforce the threshold with iron sheets, which is called "iron threshold". In his later years, Zen master Zhiyong was instructing a little novice monk to practice calligraphy one day. Several young scholars came to the temple to ask the master Mo Bao for writing skills. It is not difficult to give a word with a smile, but there is no secret. However, I can give you four words: "study hard and practice hard." If you can persist, you will benefit for life.
So just remember: keep practicing, keep pursuing and think hard, and you will succeed.
