The concept of "calligraphy art" stored in our brains is implemented on the material level of visual and perceptible, first of all, the technique of writing, that is, the horizontal and vertical strokes of strokes, the structure of the glyphs, and the style of "Yan Liu Ou Zhao", "Su Huang Mi Cai" and "Turbulent Drunken Su".
In the process of learning calligraphy, the order and order of progression from shallow to deep should be as follows:
1) First learn to use a brush to draw lines, which is the most specific element of composition, that is, "strokes";
2) secondly, the "glyphs" that enter the structure of Chinese characters, such as technical uprightness and inclination;
3) Then it involves the personal "style" of ancient calligraphers who have a macro or overall meaning throughout the text, such as the most common "Yan Liu Ou Zhao" calligraphy.
The order is:1Strokes, 2Glyphs, 3Style.
However, if we look at it from the "aesthetic" point of view of the audience's acceptance, that is, the appreciation of calligraphy, its order may be reversed, starting from the overall style; and then into its organizational structure, that is, the glyphs (the beauty of the specific parts of the structure of each character); Finally, there is the ubiquitous element of calligraphy, the strokes (each element and the constituent cells). It is completely opposite to the stance taken when learning the technique, in terms of thinking.
The overall impression of calligraphy comes first, which means that the extraction of calligraphy comes first, and the discussion of the details of the technique comes first. This is first of all a cognitive subversion for the original "writing calligraphy" with specific dot painting techniques.
The study of calligraphy is not the study of handwriting. Writing is to master cultural skills, which must start from "skills", such as dotted line details, while the art of calligraphy is to cultivate noble sentiments and aesthetic tastes, as well as the accumulation of traditional culture, is to establish the overall "style" impression first, and then to the specific glyph structure and dotted lines of the test or practice. Have the ability to make aesthetic judgments first, and then consider the ability to express yourself technically.
