What basic principles should be adhered to in learning calligraphy?

Calligraphy is an important part of traditional culture. Then do you know what basic principles should be adhered to in learning calligraphy? Let's have a look!

"Constantly"-Teachers create more environments and encourage students to keep practicing.

"Many people have the desire to learn calligraphy well and write beautiful Chinese characters, and many people have studied calligraphy but failed to learn it well. If you ask, "Why didn't you learn well?" The answer is the same: "I didn't insist." It can be seen how important "persistence" is. Persistence means studying every day, even if you only study 10 minutes every day. If you catch cold for three days, fish for two days and dry the net for two days, no matter what you learn, you will definitely not learn well, especially at the beginning.

For beginners to write Chinese characters, learning calligraphy is a process of cultivating writing habits through continuous training (visual and writing training); For people with a certain writing history, learning is a process of correcting the original writing habits and cultivating new writing habits. Habits can't be formed overnight, so keep learning every day. Some people may say that there is no time, but there is always time, depending on whether you attach importance to it or not. If you pay attention, it will be effective to write a few strokes carefully every day.

Therefore, as a calligraphy teacher, the first thing is to encourage students to write more, even if they write one word seriously every day and practice 10 minutes, it is effective. In addition, a better way to let parents know this concept of "perseverance" is to encourage parents to study together.

"Exquisite"-select teaching content, not too much.

The so-called "essence" means writing well. The process of learning calligraphy is actually a process of visual training and writing ability training. The structural principle of Chinese characters is not complicated, for example, the strokes are required to be evenly distributed. The principle of uniformity is easy to understand, that is, the stroke spacing should be basically the same, but it is not easy to be uniform. First of all, the eyes should be able to see a unified position, and at the same time, the hands should be able to write lines accurately at that position. This is not only the training of eyesight, but also the training of writing ability. When studying, it is much better to concentrate on writing a word "two" or "three" than to practice "three, four, five, six …" at the same time. Only when the words "two" and "three" are well written, and then the words "work", "earth", "king", "Lord" and "five" are well written, can we have a foundation. If you write a lot every time, but there are problems, it is harmful to cultivate and consolidate bad writing habits.

Of course, it is not difficult to do less. To be precise, we must be serious-write carefully and check carefully. Because it is impossible to get "refined" at once, finish writing a word, find out the faults and try to correct them, so as to make continuous progress and gradually "refined". If you are so-so, it is impossible to practice well.

In calligraphy teaching, it is very important for students to practice after the teacher comments. Don't covet the number of teaching in one semester, but ensure the quality of teaching. Even a word is a calligraphy work for appreciation.

Preface-Teaching is divided into several sections, and skipping classes is not allowed.

Step by step has two meanings. (1) method should be carried out in the order of copying, copying and copying. (2) The content should start from the basics and learn step by step.

Calligraphy is a profound art, but it is composed of various simple factors. Learning calligraphy is like going up stairs, one step at a time. We should study step by step according to the learning objectives and learning requirements of each stage. Only one aspect of the content is studied in each stage, and then the next stage of content learning is carried out after the basic mastery. When learning basic strokes, although there are words in practice, we should first pay attention to the writing of basic strokes. You can also practice only basic strokes. Eat rice bite by bite and practice the words one by one. Practice one move, practice another move. Master the basic strokes, and then enter the study of structural principles.

The calligraphy teacher is the helm of this "degree and order". Therefore, the calligraphy teacher must first understand, be familiar with and learn by himself, so as to bring students into the palace of calligraphy art well.

"Use"-the use of learning and the source of cultivating interest.

Applying what you have learned is the combination of learning and application. Once the words are written, they should be used in daily writing, so as to consolidate the learning results. If learning and application are out of touch, it is easy to make slow progress or stagnate.

In the process of calligraphy teaching, we should make full use of calligraphy in life to stimulate students' interest. For example, it is a good way to seize the traditional festivals in China, and let students write couplets according to the words they have learned, write blessings, give them to relatives and friends, and put them in their own schools or at home. The main purpose is to constantly stimulate students' interest in writing and gain a sense of accomplishment in writing.

The above four calligraphy teaching rules can be summarized into four words, namely "constancy", "precision", "preface" and "use". Of course, there are other problems in learning calligraphy itself, but most of them are specific methods that need to be mastered through learning. Although these methods are also very important, even the best methods can't be learned without constancy, precision, order and use. Calligraphy teachers should first "cultivate themselves" and use various ways to study, think and practice more.
