Let's talk about knowing seal script first.
Seal script is an ancient script, which was widely used by our ancestors before the Han Dynasty. Seal script can be divided into big seal script and small seal script. The ancient Chinese characters in pre-Qin dynasty were Da Zhuan, and the seal script after Qin Shihuang unified the characters was Xiao Zhuan. You can learn from Xiao Zhuan Shu.
Here we go. Because the radicals of Xiao Zhuan are consistent with the traditional radicals that we often use now. It can be said that as long as we know and master the radicals of seal script, 95% of Chinese characters can be written now.
Xiao zhuan. Of course, there are still 5% of seal scripts to remember.
There are two main points in the writing of seal script: one is brushwork, and the other is word method. First of all, we should choose a copy of seal script copybook and practice the brushwork and typesetting of seal script.
Seal character
The brushwork of the book is mainly based on the central pen, supplemented by the twisting tube. Ber Ber (Li Si, Li) used the method of opening and closing seal script, the method of moving the pen, and the method of twisting the tube to turn the pen. In the Qing Dynasty, Deng initiated the official script.
When this method is introduced into seal script, the strokes of lifting and pressing are introduced into the starting, closing, writing and turning of seal script, which enhances the writing of seal script. Later, Wu Changshuo, Zhao, Qi Baishi and other famous seal writers came forth in large numbers.
Seal script is based on the ten principles of unity, symmetry, contrast and echo. For reference, please refer to Interpretation of Classic Inscriptions and Deng Zhuan Shu (published by China Bookstore on February 20 10).
Improve after getting started.

The learning method at this stage is to study the brushwork and layout characteristics of famous seal script posts in past dynasties, and the specific method is comparative study. For example, it is said that Li Si wrote a stone tablet and Deng's mature seal pen.
A comparative study of the similarities and differences between Chinese calligraphy and Chinese calligraphy, and a comparative study of the brushwork and Chinese calligraphy between Deng Zhuanshu and Wu Changshuo Zhuanshu. Through the study of comparative study, we can gradually understand and master the brushwork and word-using methods of famous seal scripts in past dynasties.
The characteristics of seal script, and the changing rules of brushwork and word usage of seal script in past dynasties. In this way, the calligraphy level of seal script will be gradually improved.
The stage of improving one's comprehensive self-cultivation through mastery.
So, what could it be? What does it matter? That is to say, all kinds of brushwork and calligraphy of famous seal script writers in past dynasties will be integrated into their own aesthetic pursuit, which is related to the free writing of seal script. This process depends on our university (philosophy), primary school (philology) and other knowledge and quality of life.
I
The writing of this "three pieces of ancient seal script" has artistic principles. According to the "six books" of seal script (pictographic characters, fingering, pictophonetic characters, knowing characters, transferring notes and borrowing words), there are six ways to make and use words. ) is the premise of the principle.
Next, boldly combine the brushwork and calligraphy of Zhuan Xiao Zhuan, bamboo slips and silk books. In terms of brushwork, we should not only pay attention to the "graceful and smooth" mentioned in Sun Shu Pu, but also have the richness of inscriptions on bronze, and at the same time strengthen the free brushwork of books.
Writing enriches the beauty of seal script. I have no intention of pursuing the formal style of calligraphy. I hope that the words in my pen will continue to exude elegance. Driven by the pursuit of self-aesthetics, personal brushwork and typesetting will gradually form naturally.
