Learning and Writing Style I first came into contact with calligraphy because Mr. Tian was so impressed with his learning and writing style at that time that he paid great attention to Mr. Tian in the past twenty years. I also visited Mr. Tian personally and admired his learning and writing. Mr. Tian is seventy-five years old. He didn't have many apprentices in his life, and he didn't have a so-called crash course. He keeps a low profile. He only plays chess and studies in his spare time. Now he is in poor health and needs help walking. He has been resting at home.
For Tian Yingzhang, he is in the prime of life. It is said that he made calligraphy a business, opened a national chain store and had many disciples. Moreover, there is a traditional rule of "three festivals and two longevity", which allows disciples to give gifts during this period. His teaching method has a principle, that is, it is not allowed to learn other people's words, but only "heaven", that's all. If you listen to others,
The above-mentioned "Tian Kai" refers to regular script, not Tian Kai script. Although their regular script is in the same strain, Mr. Tian was inspired by his uncle Tian and learned regular script from Tianjin local calligraphers Chen Yichun and Wang Weixian, and then caught up. Besides, Mr Tian Yingzhang got a lot from his brother.
The difference is huge. Even if you look closely, the difference in style between the two people is huge. Many people criticize Tian Yingzhang's regular script as calligraphy, which is a fine calligraphy, not calligraphy. This needs clarification. Tian Yingzhang's regular script is definitely calligraphy, but he writes very well and has great skills. There is no doubt that there is very little black.
Tian Zhongzheng's standard and skills of regular script can be called a contemporary master of regular script, even Lu Zhongnan can't be overemphasized. We will write an article about Lu Zhongnan's regular script later. Mr. Tian's regular script is the most contemporary, but there is still a big gap with the figures in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
There used to be a Honda book with the ink of Chen Yichun and Wang Weixian printed on it, and we re-edited it into this book "Chen Weixian". Compared with these two figures, Tian Yingzhang's calligraphy is even more vulnerable. He called for learning from heaven, but it is best to learn these two words. However, compared with Yao's regular script, Chen Yichun's and Wang Weixian's calligraphy still has great shortcomings.
Now, Yao inherited the best calligraphy. Ou Yangxun's original appearance has been restored very well, and his writing has both form and spirit. Meng Yaolai Jiucheng Palace is recognized as a century-old masterpiece and the best example of calligraphy research in Ou Yangxun!
Beginners in Ou Kai are not suitable for learning Ou Yangxun's original posts, because the original posts are troublesome and an obstacle for beginners. Copy Ou Yangxun's manuscript first, and then learn from Ou Yangxun, which will get twice the result with half the effort!
Old habits are hard to change, not only in the field of learning, but also in students or descendants who are closely related to many calligraphers in history, such as Su Shi's son, Su Guo, Mi Fei's son, Mi Youren, Zhao Mengfu, Zhao Yong, his son and students, such as Wen Jia, Lu Shidao and Zhou. Can't get rid of the teacher's style. Being too close to the teacher, I can usually see many original works, imitating the teacher's pen movements, pen rhythm, materials, writing style, composition and so on.
Therefore, you have the same attitude towards Shu Tian. It is conceivable that it is difficult to break through this style and change the font in the future. Almost came to a dead end. Similarly, because of this, in the eyes of most calligraphy masters and calligraphers, Ertian is like a "kindergarten teacher". They did play a certain enlightening role, but the negative problem is that a large number of students who need to spend a lot of time correcting are sent to the calligraphy world.
I can see many tutorials in tian teacher, and I can imitate the fine movements from basic strokes to structure to composition to writing. If you can't watch enough videos, you can sign up for face-to-face lectures everywhere, teach you by hand, and let you use special pens, special papers and special inside textbooks ... If you study Tian Yingzhang, you will easily lose yourself and eventually it will be difficult to change your habits. If some friends just want to be like Tian Yingzhang and don't want to pursue a higher level, then it's no problem to learn from Tian Yingzhang.
Learning calligraphy is like climbing a mountain. Some people can only see the scenery at the foot of the mountain, some people can see more scenery halfway up the mountain, and some people can see the scenery that many people can't see at the top of the mountain.
