1, Han Li's calligraphy is simple.
Han Li's calligraphy is a calligraphy work left over from the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. Due to its long history, only some Han bamboo slips and cliff stone carvings are left. These works are the best teaching materials for people to learn calligraphy today. One of the characteristics is the same, that is, they are all from seal script, but some glyphs have changed, but the pens used in writing are the same, that is, the strokes of seal script.
Why is the brushwork of seal brush simple? Because there are only two strokes in the seal script method: straight stroke and turning stroke, as long as you write in this way, you can quickly master its writing skills, and so is Han Li's writing method. Therefore, learning Han Li's calligraphy is the best way to get the method of using a pen.
2. Han Li's calligraphy is very simple.
When learning calligraphy, stippling and glyphs are the main aspects to learn, while stippling and glyphs in Han Li's calligraphy are easier to learn, while Han Li's calligraphy is simpler.
3. Han Li's calligraphy can stimulate creative inspiration.
Learning calligraphy is not only copying calligraphy, but also copying like a master. In fact, only by being accurate and accurate can we complete the small first step of learning calligraphy, and more importantly, we should innovate on this basis.
Calligraphy innovation needs not only a solid foundation, but also understanding and inspiration. It can be said that the combination of the two will bring the source of innovation.
First of all, stippling in Han Li's calligraphy is simple and naive, which is derived from natural images and natural meanings, so it is the product of nature, which is also the sense of "frankness" in people's hearts. We can learn from the meaning of "childlike innocence and frankness" in their creation.
At what age is it better for children to start learning official script?
It is better for children to start learning calligraphy at the age of 5-7.
1, physiological angle
The initial operation of calligraphy is mainly the small muscle groups of the hand at work. Children's hand muscles are basically developed by the age of 6, and they can perform flexible and subtle movements, which provides a material basis for children to hold pens. Learning calligraphy at this stage can further promote and improve the development of hand muscles. In other words, not only master the skills of calligraphy, but also help children's physical development better.
2. Psychological perspective
Children's activities in infancy are mainly unconscious. From the intermediate stage, they can complete the instructions according to the requirements of adults. From the age of 5-6, they have been able to control their behavior initially, and their psychological activities have begun to develop consciously. Adults use praise to guide at this stage, which is conducive to the development of children's independent consciousness, that is, the cultivation of interest.
Writing skills of official script font
1 First of all, we should understand and master the basic characteristics of official script.
It can be summed up in one sentence: silkworm head, phoenix tail and peace. There are four aspects of detailed analysis:
(1) "Jin Fang Gu Zhuo is like a turtle." .
Official script evolved from seal script. Simply put, it is to change the seal script from a round stroke to a square fold. So there is a saying that seal script is a round official script. Official script is an ancient font, and the strokes should be simple and old, giving people a sense of vicissitudes! Seal script and regular script mostly adopt vertical posture, and the shape is vertical rectangle, which makes the strokes extend vertically; However, the shape of Lishu is relatively flat, and the strokes develop horizontally. It is very appropriate to compare the shape of official script with flat animals such as turtles and turtles.
(2) "Silkworm head and goose tail must be 30% off".
Refers to the unique wave cross of official script. When writing a wavy cross, first write it to the left with a backhand, then press the pen to the left, and then slowly lift it to the right, which is flat; Finally, when writing about picking feet, the pen tip presses down, then slowly lifts it up and picks it up to the right. Shaped like a goose's tail, it is generally a pen with a exposed front. Sometimes the goose's tail is gently picked, so that the nib is deliberately elongated, and the exquisite beauty is vividly on the paper! When you write, you should quote, never "twist" it to avoid vacillation and frivolity. Three-fold method means that the strokes of official script must pay attention to three steps: putting pen to paper, using pen and collecting pen, also known as "three-fold method" In the process of writing, the return of the pen is the most basic requirement!
(3) "Goose doesn't fly in twos, silkworm doesn't fly in twos."
If a word has two or more horizontal lines, only one of them can be written as a wave and the rest as horizontal lines. This is called "the geese are not Qi Fei". Silkworms don't have two designs, that is to say, the writing of silkworm heads can't be the same, but it should be important and fine.
4 "heavy turbidity and light clarity, as steady as Mount Tai".
Li Shu's brush strokes are varied and vary in thickness. Heavy strokes should be full and light strokes should be delicate. When using a pen, you should have a good strength and natural rhythm, and write a strong effect.
2. Choose a tablet that suits you.
There are many good official script tablets, and the choice of which tablet depends on the scholars' own situation. It is mainly manifested in two aspects: first, the long-term characteristics of hard pen writing, second, one's own intuitive preference, and third, the style goal to be pursued in the future. The most practical thing is to see whether you prefer "smart and handsome" or "rough and unrestrained"! Because the inscriptions are obvious, they are divided into these two categories. For example, Cao Quanbei and The Book of Rites are handsome, while The West Chamber and Zhang Qianbei are rough and crazy. As a beginner of official script, the author can certainly try another style on the premise of giving priority to one style.
Work hard and practice more.
Solid basic skills are "practiced", not only "analyzed" but also "seen"! Now that you have chosen, you must stick to it and study hard! Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, too interested in practicing, but too lazy to write, you can't learn calligraphy well! Many people have practiced, but few people have been practicing. At the beginning, Lin Tie advocated Lin Jing, because the previous answer has already been involved, so I won't go into details here.
Official script copybook recommendation
1, neat and handsome "Yi Ying Monument" and "Li Monument"
Dot color is vigorous and straight, thin but not light, in sharp contrast to the cock of goose tail. The font is flat and messy, eclectic and solemn.
2. Exquisite, gentle and beautiful "Cao Quanbei" and "Confucius Monument"
Beautiful flying point painting, beautiful, round pen still uses seal method, swaying, bold and unrestrained, like a miracle.
3. Zhang Qianbei and Monuments on the Yellow River.
Simple and strong style, lovely and colorful. The characters are square, the strokes are round, the composition is stable and interesting, and the contrast between lifting and pressing is also weakened.
4. "Ode to Shimen" and "The West Chamber" have a generous opening.
Pointillism refers to the meaning of seal script, the characters are stretched and elegant, the posture is open, and the overall composition is patchy and varied.
The style is calm and subtle, the words are ancient and thick, majestic and solemn, especially praised by later stone engravers. Liang Qichao praised The West Chamber as a classic of Han Li.
