Beginning to learn calligraphy, but seek to level, this is the ancient method of learning calligraphy, why today's people always listen to it?

In calligraphy teaching and learning, in addition to grasp the problem of learning monument or post, "teacher of the ancients" or "learn today's" problem is also a beginner in calligraphy should seriously think about the problem. In this issue, the ancient book theorist has a clear exposition: Liang Peak, said: "Learning the book must step tend to the ancients, do not rely on the people. "Kang Youwei said: "Learning books must be imitated, not the ancient form of quality, no self-gained temperament."

Division of the ancients or learn today? Mr. qigong's point of view is very clear: the book must copy the ancient post, not learn from the present. He said: "Do not learn from the book, especially do not look at the learning of the people pen waving. Cover the heart of the good, the eye again to see, so their lives, can only be a famous family of gleaners. What is meant by gleaners, to their own gain, often they are dissatisfied and want to abandon. Or ask the time of the people, to what is broken. Answer: survival of people. The person who survives, it is easy to see the book written."

Mr. Qigong believes that today's word is not appropriate to learn, and can not see today's writing, otherwise it will be "the heart of the good, the eye again to see", affected by its influence, to become someone's "gleaner". Why can't we learn from today's people? The reason is that today's word is its "dissatisfaction and want to abandon", if we take its word as a treasure and model to learn, will learn its shortcomings and problems. Mr. Kai believes that today's famous words, is the combination of the ancients and the product of their own disease, and asked students not to learn today's calligraphy, but should study the ancient inscriptions. He said: "learning the book so appropriate to learn the ancient post, but should not learn the people of the time, to the post from me far from the post. Ancient pen and paper, and its use of law, are different. Learning is not possible, but each has its own way of doing things, and here it becomes another face. Famous writers, all the ancients of the wonderful beginning of the combination of the product of their own sick ear."

Contemporary calligraphy, learners of calligraphy, there are teachers of ancient posters, but also learn today's so-called masters, the latter is also a lot. We have some calligraphy teachers to compile teaching materials, put the ancient excellent post of the model words do not use, but to write their own glyphs as an example, this is very bad. Do not let the students learn the ancient excellent classic works, but let learn their own faults, is really misleading.

No matter what you learn, you must understand a very simple truth, that is, "to learn from above". Despite our efforts to learn from the ancients, we can only get the skin of the matter, let alone give up the ancient and learn from the present. Today's people learn from the ancients, each have gained, can be said to be "the combination of the ancients and their own disease of the product", distinctive personality, outstanding style. We can use our own knowledge to understand and analyze, some give and take, some gain, but also some loss.

Mr. Qigong is a contemporary calligraphy, since the 1980s, learning from Mr. Qigong calligraphy in the minority, and some learn quite like, Mr. Qigong joked that they are better than he wrote. But in fact, Mr. Qigong was against people learning his characters. On this issue, Mr. Qigong in a letter to the young calligrapher Xu Liming repeatedly explained his point of view: "write today's word is easy to like, because it is the ink, he used the tools and I use is not far from it, if you see him in action, it's even easier to like. But I advise: this approach has both advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that it can be a quick success, quick start, quick results.

But the downside is that once you're like someone, you often can't get rid of their habits (whether they're good or bad) for the rest of your life. So I hope you want to be more ancient post ...... "see Xu Liming writing their own words, Mr. Kai said in a letter:" Pro Clumsy book is very similar, but do not pro again. 'Take the law on, only get in; take the law in, s for the next.' I don't know whose words it is, but because he is reasonable, I have to listen to him. This is not my own humility, because we if *** with learning some ancient masters, not better. Learn now people are most likely to be like, but a like, a lifetime can not get off, later regret."
