043 The Ancient Lady's Accelerated Talent Story

Through the basic training these few days, Xiao Cui felt that Ouyang Xinyu had begun to master the key points of calligraphy and painting, and now she had to start teaching her calligraphy. She is Shangguan Wan'er, so she cannot learn blindly. The key is not to practice the calligraphy well, and to write exactly the same as Shangguan Wan'er's calligraphy. So she thought of copying the calligraphy.

"Miss Xinyu, you have learned the basic points of calligraphy and painting. Now you have to start practicing writing! But you can't practice with your own heart. You have to imitate the calligraphy of our Miss Wan'er. I have found you the copybooks that our Miss had written before. Today we will start learning to copy the calligraphy!"

Xiao Cui is really a good teacher. It would be a pity for her not to be a teacher. In fact, in our modern teaching steps to teach people how to learn calligraphy, the most important and fastest way for beginners is copying.

In the materials we teach calligraphy in modern times, it is important to learn calligraphy methods. When learning brush regular script, you should pay attention to learning methods. This is a very important thing. If you choose the right method, you will get obvious results. If the method is not appropriate, you will often get half the result with twice the effort, waste your study time and are prone to detours. So, what kind of methods are better to learn calligraphy? Copying is an important way to learn calligraphy. Copying refers to different ways of learning calligraphy: "supervising calligraphy" and "copying calligraphy". There are several forms such as tracing red, tying ink, and reflecting writing. Copying is also called "copying calligraphy" and learning to write according to the appearance of the copybook.

The two learning methods of copying have their own characteristics. "Copying" is likely to lose the position of the ancients, but it is often obtained from the brushwork of the ancients; "Copying" is easier, but more difficult to "copying", or in other words, the intensity of imitation of "ideological labor" is less, and the intensity of copying of "ideological labor" is greater.

Some people mistakenly think that copying is just a suitable method for children to learn. In fact, this method does not have age restrictions, and is very necessary for people with poor calligraphy foundations. For example, high school students should also have such a process when they are beginners, but they can quickly pass this process. For example, copying dozens or one or two hundred characters, after a little familiar with the brush, you can intersperse with copying. Whenever you encounter difficulties in copying, you should use the copying method to "understand and experience".

Compared with copying calligraphy, copying is a more long-term and frequent way in the process of learning calligraphy. Copying carefully and skilled calligraphy is also the only experience for beginners to achieve results quickly. Copying calligraphy is not only a method for beginners. It is also the most important process for extensive and in-depth learning in the future. Learning the calligraphy lovers of all generations in my country have enjoyed copying inscriptions and calligraphy even in their later years. Many successful and famous calligraphy masters are still tirelessly absorbing the strengths of famous masters of all dynasties through copying calligraphy. Copying calligraphy is both a long-term and a arduous learning process and a great pleasure for beginners to experience it. The success of copying calligraphy is directly related to the final result of learning calligraphy.

Some beginners may think that the method of copying calligraphy is too rigid and does not intend to take this path. This is definitely not possible. Over the years, there has been no case that has not learned the experience of predecessors through copying calligraphy and has achieved success through personal exploration and innovation.

The requirements for copying calligraphy can be roughly divided into four steps: one is to find position, two is to find the style, three is to find the similarity between form and spirit, and four is to find the appearance and spirit. These four steps are gradually reflected in both the entire process of learning calligraphy and in each new learning content cycle.

When copying a calligraphy, you should read more, think more, copy more, compare more, read more, and look more, and see the beauty of the character shape of each character; when thinking more, you should think about the characteristics of the brushwork structure of each character while reading; when copying more, you should carefully observe and think carefully, and have a deep impression, you should make the intention first and have a clear mind before you can copy it. You should practice the habit of writing every word and finish it in one go. Don’t read one stroke and write one stroke, as this will easily make the characters loose and unconscious and the shape of the characters are inaccurate. For more comparisons, after copying one word, use the post as a mirror and compare the written repeatedly to find the poorest parts of the brushwork and structure. Then copy and write a few similar characters until you are satisfied, so that each character can achieve an image and similarity.

In short, copying is the main method of learning calligraphy. Beginners should gradually and consciously cultivate their observation and image memory abilities. It is impossible to generalize them, nor can they go all out once and for all. They should be persistent and persevere. If you fish for three days and bathe for two days, not only will you not consolidate the copying results you have achieved, but you may even have a "rebirth" phenomenon.

In short, the whole process of learning calligraphy is arduous, but if the method is right, beginners can go through specific processes under relaxed psychological conditions, and continue to say goodbye to the road of learning calligraphy. What I experienced yesterday was just an increasingly intense interest.

When we learn calligraphy, we do not have to be called people. As long as the characters are written in accordance with the specifications, are relatively correct, clean, and easy to recognize. One hand is in control and all the common thoughts are eliminated. The flexible mind of the calligraphy process is completely an experience and pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.

As the saying goes, "The fist is not separated from the hand, and the jing is not separated from the mouth." As long as you have a deep skill, you will be able to write a good calligraphy as long as you set lofty ideals, have confidence, perseverance, and perseverance.

After Xiao Cui taught her how to write calligraphy in the past few days, Ouyang Xinyu suddenly realized. In this way, as long as she mastered the method of copying calligraphy and persevered, her calligraphy will make rapid progress without hesitation. In addition, she copied the calligraphy day and night, and copied the posts written by Shangguan Wan'er, and one day she could practice as beautiful calligraphy as Shangguan Wan'er.

It turns out that learning requires proper learning methods. No wonder when I was in modern school, no matter how hard I tried, my academic performance was always unsatisfactory. The reason was that I did not master the learning skills and methods, so no matter how I learned, it was useless. This time, Xiao Cui really helped her a lot. Xiao Cui not only taught her calligraphy in such a short time, but also taught her how to learn. If she returned to modern times, she would definitely have the confidence to catch up with her grades. That is, I don’t know when I will return to modern times in my life!
