Overall formal beauty
The basic shape of Chinese characters is square, but through the expansion and contraction of stippling and the torsion of axis, various moving shapes can also be formed, thus combining into beautiful calligraphy works. The form of the knot is mainly influenced by two factors: one is the need to express the interest of calligraphy; The second is the formal factors of calligraphy performance. As far as the latter is concerned, it is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the influence of calligraphy, such as the vertical rectangle of seal script; Second, the influence of glyphs, some of which are oblate and some are rectangular; The third is the influence of composition. Therefore, only under the control of the above two factors can we create beautiful knots by actively creating forms.
The beauty of stippling structure
There are two main ways to construct the structural beauty of stippling. One is that all kinds of stippling colors are directly combined into various beautiful single characters and radicals according to a certain combination method. The second is to combine various radicals into various glyphs in a certain way. The radical combinations of Chinese characters are nothing more than left-right type, left-middle-right type, up-down type, upper-middle-lower type, enclosing type and semi-enclosing type. These principles are mainly the principles of proportion, balance, rhythm, rhythm and simplicity. What I want to mention here is the principle of proportion, in which the golden ratio is a very important proportion and is very important for the structural beauty of stippling.
The combined beauty of ink and color
The artistry of ink color combination mainly refers to the order of its combination. Calligraphy, as an art, its various colors can no longer be chaotic, but should be very orderly. There are also some aesthetic principles that writers need to abide by. Such as emphasis, gradual change and balance. The ink color combination of calligraphy structure mainly involves two aspects: one is the segmentation and combination of background colors. People often say that "black hours count white" is the content in this respect. The second is the stippling structure of ink color combination. From the overall effect of the work, we should not only pay attention to the plane structure of stippling pen and ink, but also pay attention to the layering of stippling pen and ink, so as to enhance the expression depth of calligraphy.
