Why do beginners start with Xiao Zhuan?
First, the history of Biography

Speaking of the history of Xiao Zhuan, as a science student, I am determined to "Baidu". This learning method is much faster than reading books, reading all kinds of materials or asking teachers, and it can also improve our learning efficiency.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chinese characters in different countries were different in simplicity and complexity. After Qin Shihuang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he ordered the Qin Dynasty's Biography as the standard to unify the national characters. Seal script, also known as "seal script", is a combination of small seal script and big seal script. Because it is customary to call seal script "big seal script", later generations often refer to it exclusively.

Chinese characters developed to the stage of Xiao seal script, and gradually began to shape (outline, strokes, structure). The pictographic meaning is weakened, which makes the characters more symbolic and reduces the confusion and difficulty in writing and reading. This is also the product of the first large-scale use of administrative means to standardize writing in the history of China. The Qin Dynasty unified the national characters with the sorted seal script, which not only basically eliminated the phenomenon of different lines of characters in different places, but also greatly changed the situation of different fonts in ancient Chinese, and played an important role in the development history of China characters.

Second, why should we start with Xiao Zhuan?

Fu Shan said, "I don't know the change of seal script in regular script. If written in a wonderful place, it will always be vulgar. " From the history of calligraphy, regular script evolved from seal script, which was formed when a Chinese character had developed into a very complete and strict rule. If we start with regular script, it is easy to be bound by these rules, which leads to the sameness of regular script written by many people.

Line is the core of calligraphy, and only seal script can change the quality of line. Practicing seal script well means practicing the lines of calligraphy, laying a solid foundation for writing official script, regular script, running script and cursive script in the future.

Third, what position to choose?

Yishan stele, also known as Yishan carved stone, exists in Xi 'an stele forest. It shows the normative style of Shu Tong Wen promulgated by Qin Dynasty, and it is the first official copybook in China history, which was later praised as the masterpiece of Biography.

Fourth, I first came to the "Yishan Monument"

Every word should be marked with a center line, so that the font is accurate. Insisting on writing "reverse, stop, lift and push" means starting, suspending, lifting and pushing against the wind.

I covered the copybook with hand-made tassel paper, Dege ink and wolfram pen, and then wrote along the midline with a brush.

1, draw the center line with a pencil.

2. Then write along the center line with a brush.

3. After writing, write six words.

4. Compare it with the original post after writing.

When you learn calligraphy, you learn to persist. Success is not achieved overnight, but accumulated over time!
