origin

Sino Calligraphy art Beginning in the production stage of Chinese characters, "sound can not be transmitted in different places, stay in different times, so that the character is born." The writer, therefore, is the meaning and the trace of sound." (The phrase" A case study of Shulin Algae As a result, writing was produced. The first works of calligraphy art are not words, but some symbols hieroglyphics Or picture text.
hanzi Characterization symbol It first appeared on pottery. The original characterization symbol only represented a general concept of chaos, with no exact meaning.
Eight thousand years ago, the Yellow River basin appeared Cishan Mountain , Peiligang culture On the hand-made ceramics unearthed in Peiligang, there are more characters. This symbol is a chaotic combination of the communicative function, recording function and pattern decoration function of the ancestors. Although these are not Chinese characters that people can recognize, they are indeed Chinese characters rudiment .

The general tendency of calligraphy in Qing Dynasty is to preserve quality and divide into Study of calligraphy with Stele study Two periods of development.
The writing circles of the late Ming Dynasty were unrestrained and unrestrained. Cynicism was further extended in the early Qing Dynasty, such as Fu Shan [5] The works of others still show their inner life and an irresistible emotional expression. This is in the medium term." The Eight Strange men of Yangzhou "The body again. At the same time, the late Ming Dynasty also further developed, Jiang Ying, photograph , Liu Yong , Wang Wenzhi , Liang Tongshu, Weng quadrangle When people deliberately respect the tradition, they try to show a new look, which makes the decline of the study inevitably appear.
At this time, the stone unearthed more days, scholars from keen Official correspondence Turned to engage in the study of touchstone research, a time inside and outside the court, the study of stela was rushed to, and finally became the Qing Dynasty's literary circle of democracy, plus Nguyen Yuan , Bao Shichen . Kang Youwei It is widely publicized that epigraphy exists as a system of book study that competes with the book study. Famous calligraphers of the time such as Kinnon , Zhang Chuanshan , Deng Shilu , He Shaoji , Zhao Zhiqian , Wu Changshuo , Zhang Yuzhao Kang Youwei and so on have written and painted with stele meaning, to achieve the full nature of reason. A dazzling place. It can be said that Chinese calligraphy culture The one in the landscape. If the desire of theologians to find quality was not realized, then this desire was realized in tablet science.

Modern times

With the diversification of the book world today, the art of calligraphy has sublimated to the high level of conceptual change, which is undoubtedly a big step forward. The modernity of calligraphy does not simply depend on the form, structure, line and other external features of calligraphy art, but on the modernization of the inner spirit. The modern spirit of calligraphy refers to the value trend of modern society embodied and transmitted by contemporary calligraphy art.
In modern and contemporary books, the stele school still occupies the mainstream position. However, unlike the stele school of the late Qing Dynasty, there were many calligraphers who took the stele of the Fa Han Dynasty and the ancient seal characters in this period.
Many calligraphy masters such as Lin Sanzhi , Samoon Sea , Lu Weizhao Et al had been engaged in calligraphy before 1949, but it was not until Cultural revolution They became famous for their calligraphy in their late 80s. At that time, people were building a new China with great enthusiasm. Calligraphy is considered a representation of old traditions.
The colorful art of modern calligraphy is directly related to the unprecedented complexity of the team of calligraphers. Perhaps because of its proximity, the landscape is clearer than ever before.

Seal character

Seal character It is the general name of big Seal and small Seal. Oracle bone inscriptions, with a history of 3,000 years, are the earliest recognizable characters handed down to the world and are mainly used for divination. The brushwork is thin and straight, with more straight lines. There are square pens, round pens, and pointed pens, and there are more "hanging needles" in the hand pen. Big Seal characters refer to the Jinwen, 籀文 and the six kingdoms characters, which preserve the obvious characteristics of ancient hieroglyphics. Small seal style, also known as "Qin Seal style", is the general script of the state of Qin. It is a simplified font of big Seal style, which is characterized by a uniform shape and easier to write than 籀文.

Official script

Official script Han Li, also known as Han Li, is a common solemn font in Chinese characters, the writing effect is slightly wide and flat, the horizontal painting is long and the straight painting is short, in a rectangular shape, paying attention to "silkworm head and wild tail", "twists and turns". Official script originated in the Qin Dynasty and was organized by Cheng Miao. It reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty and had a great influence on later generations of calligraphy. The calligraphy circle is called "Han Li Tang Kai". For example, Han and Lu Prime Minister Han 勑 building the Temple ritual Stele, also known as Han Ming Fu Confucius Temple Stele, Han and Lu Prime Minister Han 勑 Fu Yan Shi Fa Stele, Han 勑 Stele, etc. Han Yongshou two years (156 years) engraved, official script. 227.2 cm in length, 102.4 cm in width.

Regular script

Regular script It is also called regular script, authentic script, and regular script. From the official script founded by Cheng Miao gradually evolved, more simplified, horizontal and vertical. The regular script has the meaning of a model, which has been discussed in Zhang Huai 瓘. People in the Six dynasties are still used to it, such as Yang Xin's "Picking" text, Wang Shengqian's "On the Book · Wei Shan Biography" in the cloud: "Christmas word Zhong will, Beijing Zhao people, good regular script." That's short for "octave letters." To the Northern Song Dynasty to replace the name of the book, its content is obviously different from the ancient name, and the name of the same and different examples, probably have the above.

Running hand

Running script was developed on the basis of official script, a kind of font between regular script and cursive script, which was produced in order to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the difficulty in recognizing cursive script. "Line" is the meaning of "walking", so it is not as sloppy as cursive script, nor as regular script. In essence, it is the regular script of the grass or cursive script of the regular script. Those with more regular letters than regular letters are called "Xingkai", and those with more regular letters are called "Xingcao".

Cursive hand

Cursive hand It is a typeface of Chinese characters, characterized by a concise structure and continuous strokes. Formed in the Han Dynasty, it evolved on the basis of official script for simple writing. There are Zhangcao, modern grass, wild grass points, in the frenzy feel beautiful. "Shuowen Jiezi" said: "Han Xing has cursive script." Cursive script began in the early Han Dynasty, and its characteristics are: the outline of the word, the rules of the loss of lili, the vertical Ren ran away, to hurry, because of the meaning of the creation, called cursive script.

Beauty of overall form

The basic form of Chinese characters is square, but through the expansion of stippling, axis twisting, can also form a variety of different moving forms, so as to combine into beautiful calligraphy works. The combination form is mainly affected by two factors, one is the need of expression of calligraphy interest; The second is the form factor of calligraphy expression. As far as the latter is concerned, it is mainly reflected in three aspects: one is the influence of the writing style, such as the seal body to take vertical rectangle; The second is the influence of the shape, some words are flat square, and some words are rectangular; The third is the influence of Zhangfa. Therefore, only under the control of the above two types of factors, active form creation, can create a beautiful combination form.

Stippling structure is beautiful

There are two main ways to construct the structural beauty of stipple painting. One is that various stipple paintings are directly combined into a variety of beautiful characters and radicals according to a certain combination way. The second is to combine various radicals into various glyphs in a certain way. The combination of radicals of Chinese characters is nothing more than left and right, left and right, up and down, upper and middle, encircle, half encircle and so on. These principles mainly include the principle of proportion, the principle of balance, the principle of rhythm, the principle of rhythm, the principle of simplicity, and so on. Here in particular is the principle of proportionality, in which Golden ratio Another very important proportion, very important for the beauty of stippling structure.

The combination of ink and beauty

The artistry of the combination of ink mainly refers to the order of the combination. As an art of calligraphy, its various colors can no longer be chaotic, but should be very orderly. There are also some common aesthetic principles to which the writer is required to adhere. Such as the principle of emphasis, the principle of gradual change, the principle of balance, and so on. The combination of ink color in calligraphy is mainly involved in two aspects: one is the segmentation and combination of background color. People often say that "calculating white when black", is the content of this aspect. The second is the ink combination of stippling structure. From the overall effect of the work, we should not only pay attention to the plane structure of the dot painting ink color, but also pay attention to the layering effect of the dot painting ink color, so as to enhance the depth of expression of calligraphy.

Writing brush

Writing brush The pen holder is generally used Bamboo tube It is made of striped bamboo, and it is also made of rhinoceros horn, ivory or gold and silver. The animal used in the pen is divided into two categories: soft (soft) and strong (hard), and soft is mainly Goat hair Made by; Jian Hao is made of rabbit ridge hair and weasel tail hair, soft and Jian Hao mixed together called Jian Hao. The pen tip is made in the middle of a long cluster called milli front , that is, the nib; Surrounded by a slightly shorter millimetre called a para-millimetre. A good brush has four advantages: sharp, uniform, round and healthy. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Xuanzhou, Anhui Province, is the most famous for its Zihao (old purple rabbit) pen, which is the highest quality and its price is like gold. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was replaced by the well-made lake brush produced in Shanlian Town of Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, which was strictly selected and made up to now.

ink Appeared very early, "described in calligraphy" said: The Western Zhou Dynasty (206 B.C.) Xing Yi began to make ink, said to be made of soot, but it was after the Western Han Dynasty. Its raw materials are different, can be divided into oil smoke ink, lacquer smoke ink, pine smoke ink, respectively Tung oil , raw lacquer, soot burned from pine branches, plus yellow gelatin and musk Made of borneol, etc. The ink of Yizhou and the paper of Shanxi County were famous in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

depict

Writing position: Writing with five fingers First of all, hold it tightly with the thumb and middle finger, the free position in the palm should be like a cube of about 4 cm, and then use the ring finger and little finger to naturally put behind the brush, the body is straight, and the arm should have a suitable distance from the table.
Common method: Cover the original with tissue paper (silk) to write or draw according to the original appearance. Trace in red That's one of the ways.

Temporary writing

The learner takes the original calligraphy and writes it as exactly as possible on another piece of paper.
It is necessary to use scientific methods in temporary writing, and many people who love calligraphy have not been able to enter the door of the temple of calligraphy because they have not mastered scientific temporary writing methods. The fundamental principle of Chinese characters in writing - there have been countless calligraphers in the past five thousand years, although they have left a considerable number of excellent calligraphy works, but they have not left a scientific method of writing, such as why the image of temporary writing? Why don't you write like me? A primary school teacher from Dalian Liu Xiangdong This paper puts forward the fundamental principle of temporary writing of Chinese characters, and writes the book "The Secret of temporary writing of Chinese Characters", which solves the fundamental problem of temporary writing of Chinese characters. This method is suitable not only for the temporary writing of Chinese characters, but also for the temporary writing of all characters in the world. The book "The Secret of Chinese Characters in Writing" is a milestone in the history of Chinese calligraphy.

Back face

After many times of writing, according to the original image left in the mind memory, write again.

create

According to the constantly revised writing habits and writing style, the writing content and expression style are re-selected, and the new works are written.

Writing posture

Learning calligraphy posture is very important, especially Begin to learn Calligraphy teenagers, during the physical development period, develop incorrect posture is not only difficult to correct, affect the progress of calligraphy, but also affect the health of bones and eyes. Therefore, learning calligraphy posture must be positive, that is, the head is positive, the body is positive, the hand is positive. The postures of calligraphy are as follows:

Sitting posture

Anyone who writes within three inches can sit on a book. The height of the table and chair should be moderate. Head should be positive, can be slightly forward, but should not be tilted left and right. The hips should be right, the waist should be straight, the chest should be upright, and the chest should be kept 3-5 inches away from the table. Open your legs naturally, keep your feet flat, and press the paper with your left hand (the paper should also be straight). The position of the pen should be about 6 inches from the nose. Some people advocate that the pen is aligned with the tip of the nose when writing, which is too mechanical, stiff, easy to distract attention, do not have to be so rigid, as long as the pen is located around the nose, the words written are in the middle of the two eyes.

Establishment of a document

Write more than three inches of large characters, should stand up cantilever writing, in order to make the force, easy to take care of the whole picture. When standing, feet should be steady, the right foot slightly step out, slightly into a T-step, the right body slightly forward, the waist slightly forward, the left hand to hold the paper, or backward. Predecessors advocate concentrating the strength of the lower body to the waist, pushing the shoulder with the force of the waist, driving the upper limb with the shoulder, and sending the force to the tip of the pen through the upper limb and the wrist, that is, the so-called "force is around the waist, and its root is in the foot." This can be experienced in practice.

Kneel

Write more than two feet of large characters, you can kneel or write on the ground, so that it is easy to total the structure of the word. The method is to kneel on the left knee, bend the right knee to support the body, and extend the left hand to support the ground. This method is too flexion of the body, not easy to right-hand, it is best to prepare a short case writing.
Whether sitting or standing a book, keep an appropriate distance between the eyes and the paper when writing, which should vary with the size of the written word. Small characters should be written near, large characters should be written far. Usually write medium letters, major letters, should be about a city foot, write small characters should be slightly less than this distance. Write more than one foot of large characters, there should be more than two feet of distance, otherwise it is difficult to take care of the relationship between the strokes and the overall structure.

Rice grid

Rice grid
The usage of "mi" has always been controversial among calligraphy learners and enthusiasts. Start work The 1986 edition of the book Introduction to calligraphy There is an error in the description of the word "m" on page 48. Today, I write down in detail what Qigong has said to me and the experience of practice, so as to reduce detours when practicing calligraphy structure for later generations.
The "meter" character grid mentioned by Mr. Qigong is an important rule of calligraphy structure, and also a major contribution to the art of calligraphy Trace in red A grid of the word "rice" or "well" on a mold. The grid on the red pattern is for beginners to arrange the position of the stroke as a reference. The structural law of "m" refers to that when writing M, it is considered that ∠1 should be less than ∠3, ∠2 should be less than ∠4, ∠5 should be less than ∠7, and ∠6 should be less than ∠8.
That is to say, the two points on the top half of the word should stand a little, and the skimming and pressing of the bottom half should be a little flat, and the word will look good.
The most common mistake is to write the two points and a stroke of the rice character on the 45 degree Angle on the red grid, thinking that this is the standard. This is the same as the so-called horizontal and vertical writing is not desirable, so the writing is not aesthetic.
There are many characters in Chinese characters can use the rule of "m" character.
The first type is the first half of the two points one vertical characters, such as: light, Shang, Tang, Xiao.
The second category is the bottom half of a skimming a dot a vertical word, such as: wood, east and so on. Violate the law of "m" character to write these words, the effect will be known at a glance.

Double hook

Double hook Calligraphy "five fingers" (double bracts). Double hook, also called "double pod", is a method of writing. Tang Dynasty calligrapher Han Fangming In the "grant pen to say" said: "The beauty of the husband's book is to hold the pipe, both with the double finger bract tube, but also when the five fingers together, it should actually refer to the virtual palm, hook press flat send, also said to send, in order to prepare for oral hand to say." The method is that the big point is pressed outside, the food and the middle two points are hooked inside, the nameless point is exposed outside, the little finger is posted below the ring finger, and the five fingers are used. The "five-finger method" is also a kind of "double hook". The origin and introduction of double-hook calligraphy The so-called "double-hook calligraphy" refers to the hollow characters written directly with a single line. This method originated from the Tang Dynasty, at that time, because there was no printing technology, people in order to make the calligraphy works of famous artists spread, they outlined hollow characters according to the original works, and then filled with black ink, so that viewers could get the works close to the original. Later, this way of description became a way for people to learn calligraphy, and developed into a brilliant country Calligraphy art Bao "double hook" is a calligraphy term also. The calligraphic copy of the upper stone is hooked out with thin lines along the outer edges of both sides of its strokes, which is called "double hook". The Southern Song Dynasty Jiang Kui In the "continuation of the book" said: "the double hook method, must have the ink halo not out of the word, or the outline filled in, or Zhu Qi The back is the body of fat and thin." Great poets of Song Dynasty Lufang There has been a "wonderful ink double hook post" the good sentence praises the "double hook" charm.
