An Overview and Detailed Explanation of Teacher Zhou Jianchu's Calligraphy Creation

Three steps of calligraphy creation:

First, obey the law.

Second, challenge the law.

Thirdly, impunity.

Creation is equal to participating in competition, so we must strictly abide by the rules, forms, contents, sizes and rules of the game.

Second, how to create?

1, determine the form and define the scale.

Doors, main halls, banners, banners, hand rolls, folding pages, fans, album pages, etc.

There are seven manifestations of total * * *:

The first kind, manuscript, was expressed casually in the form of letters in ancient times, expressing the calligrapher's character and cultural accomplishment, but it is transformed into ancient poems and poems in contemporary times.

Second, contrast, strong contrast, strong visibility, highlights the three characteristics of calligraphy, artistry, appreciation, ideological and strong impact.

Thirdly, geometric forms, such as square, circle and trapezoid, are ever-changing. The methodology of calligraphy has been from ancient times, and the formalism of creation has been from the present, which is closely related to aesthetics.

Fourth, the style of signature, using different papers to splice, can be the title, the source, or the so-called title party.

Fifth, topic selection, big and small characters, density relationship, cursive script with correction book, enhance visibility and readability. This is related to the text, but it is not the text. It can be a comment on the content of the text or a personal understanding, but you can't write the endless text in small print. Remember to be taboo.

Sixth, combination, through splicing, the China Book Association stipulates that fine print works should not exceed four feet and should not be too fancy. If the small print size is too large, readability will be weakened and it will be easy to serialize. Don't die when splicing cursive scripts, and don't do promising splicing.

Seventh, the style of the picture, 1, is used to increase the aesthetic feeling, such as adding embellished illustrations on the rice paper, and 2, making it old, brushing tea on the back of the paper with a brush to increase the ancient taste. 3, antique style, using the beauty of broken Oracle bones, or bamboo slips and silk books, or Weibei stone color, has a variety of expressive force.

Third, determine the style of the book, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses.

The appearance of calligraphy is very important, and different calligraphy styles show different calligraphy consciousness. Cursive calligraphy should not be spliced with raw white paper, and the lines are big or small to show its style. Handwritten small works can be full of literary spirit. If it is written in small letters, you can write more in blocks and at least ten prefaces to Lanting, so there will be one volume.

Wei Bei wrote in big letters, 50 cm in size, but Tang Jie was weak, especially Ou Yangxun, so he was a slave. However, Ouyang Tong is flexible when it can.

Fourth, ensure that the content highlights the classics.

From the style and content of the book, it should be consistent. Some fonts can't stand the weather. The word "out of the hole" can show infinite tension. The accumulation of books should not be single, and lettering should be added to the boards. The accumulation and storage of calligraphy style is a process. To learn the five styles, first specialize before learning, then attack one style, and then draw inferences. Grasp a master first, because calligraphy must be flexible, but you can't write someone else if you can't write well. Write one well, and everything else will be integrated.

Determine the content, calligraphy can not be separated from the text content, culture will never die, Chinese characters will never be separated. Calligraphy is the carrier and carrier of words, from the most primitive pure practicality to aesthetics and then to the present artistry.

The theme of calligraphy is poetry, ci, song, fu, qu, yin and couplet. The content you choose should be positive, but the good ones can't be combined. Remember that words and characters don't match. For example, Li Bai's wine will be written in small font, and his style will definitely not be written. Therefore, it is forbidden to create words in a way that is inconsistent with words, and the content of writing should be consistent.

In terms of official script, Zhang Qianbei and Zhang Qianbei have written together in recent years, which is relatively thick and suitable for writing big characters, and there are many ritual tablets, which are suitable for writing small characters. In official script, there are few creative forms, but excessive splicing is not advocated.

The confirmation of calligraphy style should pay attention to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. 1, understand ancient methods, write your own emotions, and avoid dipping in ink too often. Many words can be written with one stroke of ink, which can show the change of ink color. 2. The style of the book is related to the form. You can write the page of the album in small font, which is beautiful, less but refined. It is very important to carry out two-level training. When creating, don't make mistakes and advocate writing by yourself. Since ancient times, the requirements for calligraphers have been very high. Need to reserve a large number of poems, have shares in my heart. Start with the Four Books and Five Classics, and then go to college to learn the golden mean. Inheriting Chinese culture is the most basic accomplishment of a calligrapher.

Fourth, the preparation of creation, writing with heart first, thoughtful, familiar with the content, familiar with the word method, can only succeed but not fail. Check all the contents and make a small draft first, which is reasonable and different. Only I have it. It is different, including naturalness and uniqueness, but uniqueness should be reasonable, so there are seven taboos and nine advocates.

Seven bogeys:

1, avoid small words and big spaces, 2, avoid big words and small spaces, 3, avoid excessive splicing, 4, avoid multi-body miscellaneous writing, 5, avoid blind stamping, 6, avoid excessive splicing, 7, avoid writing in sections by weeds.

Nine advocate:

1, the combination of subject and object, is the writing style of words and inscriptions; 2, the development of ink color, paying attention to balance; 3, paying attention to opening and closing, speed, cursive script is difficult in cursive script, proficiency, memorizing words, recognizing three words a day, 1000 words a year, paying attention to the spatial sense and timeliness of composition, but now cursive script is difficult, and I don't know how to open and close it. What can be divided is our limbs, so we need to find the answer from these. 4, density relationship, 5, contradictory relationship, 6, uneven, 7, opening and closing echo, 8, joint, over-winding, so that the pen is broken, the pen gesture relationship, 9, pay attention to blank space, dense and opaque.

2, look it up in the dictionary,

A word is written by different calligraphers, and it is customary. The ancients used it correctly.

First, don't use both simplified characters and simplified characters. Choose a better publishing house for traditional Chinese characters to avoid mistakes. Simplified characters weaken the aesthetic feeling of Chinese characters and simplify the meaning of writing. On the contrary, the simpler the words, the more difficult it is to write, and regular script is enough. The unified seal script of Li Si Xiao Zhuan in Qin Dynasty is a watershed, but there are many kinds of fonts of Da Zhuan. Therefore, it is not common to use variant forms with caution.

Third, the choice of tools.

Regular script, with thin soft cotton rice paper, with a pointed and belly brush.

Color.

Fourth, practice makes perfect. Don't deliberately control the speed. The fine print should be fast and the cursive script should be slow. Of course, it can't just be slow. It should be combined with speed. The horizontal style is fast and the vertical style is slow. Horizontal characters are the backbone of the house, and vertical characters are the pillars of the house.

Fifth, write naturally and like nature itself.

Combination of five good and five.

1, enjoy leisure and keep your body and mind happy.

2. Be considerate, write if you want, and write if you want. Don't force yourself and embarrass yourself.

3. The weather is mild and the climate is suitable. The weather in Xinjiang is dry, and the ink will soon be dry, especially the writing brush. We must find a way to adjust it.

4. Paper and ink are in the same phase. Choose the right pen and the right paper to write.

5, the occasional desire for books, the impulse to write, clear the starting point of writing, first, pleasure in body and mind, health and nourishing the heart, second, raising books with books, when your works have collection value, it will bring economic benefits, third, promote calligraphy, which is a merit, and the Chinese context needs to be passed down. Fourth, we should have the consciousness of serving the society.

A complete calligraphy work should have four characteristics: the first integrity, the second rationality, the third uniqueness and the fourth natural disposition. When everything is finished, we should correct mistakes and read. If you don't understand, it doesn't matter. Someone you can find.
