The lines are round and smooth.
"Sacrifice to the Nephew" has a round brushwork, with a pen and paper, and vigorous and comfortable lines. In the Qing Dynasty, He Chao's "Yi Men Ming Ba" said: "Lu Gongbi's recent gold." But first of all, the "Sacrifice to the Nephew" broke the habit of emphasizing infighting to show Fang Gang's spirit since the Jin and Tang Dynasties and changed to external expansion. In his view, the extended round pen can be more freely waved, fully expressing the calligrapher's personality.
For example, the word "poison" in line 17 is a typical gesture extension expression. Second, the lines are thick and round, and the bones are full of holes, giving people a three-dimensional sense. The four words "father, yang, fierce, history and light" in "Sacrifice to a Nephew" are unsmiling, which embodies the saying of the ancients that "the face is buried in paper" and is the best understanding and display of "hiding it with concealment and painting it with quietness".
2. Be broad-minded and be fair.
Structurally, The Draft for Sacrificing a Nephew broke the elegant style of dense structure and slightly longer glyph since the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and formed an open attitude. First, it is wide and stretched, and it is tight outside and loose inside. Don't pick out many words, but cook a rotten meal, such as "old", "e", "thief", "disabled" and "baby". This is the typical place where Yan characters are put in and taken out.
Second, multi-lateral expansion, left and right opposite, opposite or in the same direction. Especially the opposite side is vertical, so that the traditional inner arc is opposite to the outer arc. Such as "Zhou Pu, Danyang, Founding, Drawing, Opening and Closing", make the font opening changeable. Proper density, complement each other. This is the innovation of Yan style calligraphy, and also the expression of Yan style's generous structure characteristics. Third, the momentum is awe-inspiring, but it contains strange risks.
