The art of Chinese calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters. The brushwork is the method of writing lines or strokes. In some cases, the brushwork is also called the use of a pen. Line has a special significance in Chinese calligraphy. It is pure and aesthetically independent. What I bring to you below is, I hope you like it.

Calligraphy works Movement of Qi:
The composition of a work is always gradually formed through these links: stippling-single word structure-single word combination-adjacent lines echoing. Single-word conjugation is a link that has been studied relatively little. The basic requirement for single-word conjunction is that there should be internal continuity between the characters in a line. In this way, adjacent characters can get rid of their isolation and establish a cordial and close connection, and the work can become an inseparable whole. People often use the word "Qi" to express their feelings and evaluations of single-word combinations. A word, guided by the movement of lines, the space within the word also begins to flow. This sense of flow causes the entire structure and its internal space to generate a movement trend. If the movement trends of adjacent words can interact with each other, If the movement trends of each character cannot be connected, the subconscious feeling will be extremely unsmooth. At this time, people will say that it lacks "moving Qi". Here Introducing a simple method to test "Qi". On any written Chinese character, a straight line can be drawn so that its position indicates the tilt direction of the character. At the same time, the character is divided into two parts of equal weight. The straight line reflects the position and position of the character on the paper. We call the movement trend the single-character axis. If we draw the single-character axis of each character in a line, we can see the gains and losses in the coherence of this line of characters. If the axes of two adjacent characters intersect or overlap between the two characters, their coherence must be very good. If the axes are parallel or nearly parallel, since the movements of the two characters tend to be in the same direction, it can also give people a strong sense of continuity. Multi-characters This feeling is stronger when the axes are parallel. The inability of the two axes to intersect in space reflects the interruption of spatial movement in a row. All axes in a line do not necessarily need to be continuous. An appropriate number of breakpoints and breakpoints at appropriate positions can help adjust the movement rhythm of the work. Their function is equivalent to rests in the phrase. Too many breakpoints will definitely Destroy the "Qi" of the work.
Two ways of composition of calligraphy:
From the perspective of all creations in the history of calligraphy, there are two ways of composition. Each Chinese character has an independent structure. This is what people think It is a fact that has long been established in our minds. Although this was not the case in early writing, the separation of single characters has become an extremely natural form of composition. In this way of composition, it can be clearly seen that with single characters as boundaries, lines and spaces are divided into individual characters. Small paragraphs are consistent with people's simple impression of Chinese characters. This basic structural form uses single characters as paragraphs to develop a composition method, which we call "single character cascading". This method of coupling has been impacted by cursive writing. The continuity of cursive lines breaks the boundaries of pointillism and runs through two characters, three characters, or even more characters, destroying the separate spatial form of single characters. The space between characters begins to penetrate into the space within the characters, and the space within the same characters merges. In fact, the fixed spatial form of separated single characters cannot be coordinated with the rich changes in the rhythm of line movement. In this way, a spatial composition form that breaks the boundaries of single characters and freely groups lines is gradually formed. This form is not limited by the start and end of line movement, but by the beginning and end of line movement. Space density and area are used to divide paragraphs: units with similar space areas naturally form a group. The work is composed of many groups of lines. In this system, the rhythm of line movement and the division and combination of space are given full freedom. They were reunited on a new basis. This connection method is called "group line connection". Grouped line connection is mainly used in running and cursive scripts, which greatly enriches the expressive power of calligraphy art.
