The introduction of Ailian's works in official script is as follows:
The writing method of dot painting in official script is obviously different from that in seal script. The dot painting in seal script can be summarized into three types: dot, straight and arc. Official script already has 8 strokes in the eight methods of Yongzi. In terms of pens, seal scripts mostly use round pens, while official scripts use both square and round pens, and the thickness of the strokes changes.
The points in official script are divided into midpoint, upper point, left point, right point and horizontal point. The way to write the midpoint is to put the pen down, turn the pen upward, turn the pen back to the right, pause the pen downward, and then turn the pen back to the point.
The difference between the dots in official script and the dots in seal script is that there have been changes in leaning to the side. The way to write the upper point is slightly the same as the middle point, except that the last stroke does not return to the point, but gradually moves downward. The left, right and horizontal dots are written in the same way as the upper point, but the starting position and the direction of attack are different.
The left-bottom and right-bottom writing methods in official script are similar to the left-point and right-point writing methods. The difference is that the last stroke is longer.
Extended information:
1. Key points of creation
1. It is necessary to take the Fa-Han stele and Qin-Han bamboo slips. The so-called method is to interpret and understand seriously and diligently, rather than just glancing at it. Look less at the works of contemporary people, and look at the works of contemporary people to see their shortcomings and deficiencies.
2. Appropriately grasp the subject’s creative state. "Writability" actually means putting the writing process and creative emotions on paper. Repeated strokes will create inertia. From raw to cooked, we should avoid ripeness and move towards rawness.
3. Treat style issues correctly. Style is natural and cannot be generalized. If your style and appearance are not strong, you don’t have to worry about it; if you have already formed your style and appearance, you don’t have to be complacent or deliberately avoid it.
2. Structural Characteristics
1. Starting the pen with a silkworm head and closing the pen with a dovetail
This is a typical feature of the pen used in official script, especially the main pen in official script. This method is almost always used for horizontal and vertical paintings. The so-called "writing silkworm head" means that in the process of using the pen to hide the (reverse) edge of the pen, the outline of the strokes formed during the starting process is written into a shape similar to that of a silkworm's head. "Closing the pen swallowtail" means pressing the pen at the end of the pen and then lifting the pen diagonally to the upper right to strike.
2. Turn circles into squares and arcs into straight lines
These are the two basic ways to simplify official script and seal script. However, if you don't understand the circle of seal script, it will be difficult to master the square of official script. Because the straight drawings or square folds in the official brush all contain the arc of the seal characters, the straightness of the official brush often has obvious fluctuations and is full of vitality. In fact, the meaning of official script is based on the movement of strokes.
3. The font is flat and square and spreads out to the left and right
The Li characters are contrary to the normal situation of seal characters taking the posture vertically, and instead take the posture horizontally (left and right), resulting in the shape of the font remaining flat and square, and the strokes Contract the vertical gesture and strengthen the horizontal expansion.
