First, the characteristics of glyphs
In terms of glyphs, European characters often give us a narrow and long feeling, especially the inscription of Liquan in Jiucheng Palace. For example, the word "Ge" (Figure 42) is generally written as a square, while the word "Ou" narrows the left and right vertical drawings of the word "Door" to make the shape longer. Another example is the word "Yi" (Figure 43), which is really square, but the vertex of "Yi" on the right is straight. There are also some characters with longer glyphs, and European characters are longer, such as the word "poor" (Figure 44), and so on. Secondly, Europeans give us another sense of stability. For example, words like "Kun" and "Xia" (Figure 45 and Figure 46) are all written as narrow at the top and wide at the bottom or small at the top and big at the bottom, so whether they are square or long, they are as steady as Mount Tai and cannot be shaken.
Third, Chinese characters have complicated strokes and simplified strokes. When different complex and simplified characters touch together, they will generally write larger strokes and smaller strokes, such as "chisel, well and drink" (Figure 47, Figure 48, Figure 49 and Figure 50). The word "chisel" has the most strokes, so it is particularly large, as well as "well" and "drink". There are exceptions, such as "thousand, load, false, period" (Figure 5 1, Figure 52, Figure 53, Figure 54). The word "Qian" has few strokes, but it is very big, while the word "pseudo" has many strokes, but it is very small, but it still looks harmonious and not abrupt. The former is a positive example and the latter is a variation. This kind of example can be found everywhere in Jiuchenggong Liquanming. Which words should be used as positive examples and which words should be used as variants? There are many things that can't be explained clearly in a few words and can only be understood by scholars themselves.
Fourthly, the structures of European characters mostly extend to the right, such as "Gao, De and Yang" (Figures 55, 56 and 57). Try to arrange these words in a cross, with the center of each word on the left of the center line, leaving the right position at the end of the word "Gao", "De" and "Yang", but draw these words horizontally at the same time.
Fifth, the structure of European characters is sometimes different from ordinary characters. There are several words (Figure 58, Figure 59, Figure 60, Figure 6 1, Figure 62) in the inscription of liquan in Jiucheng Palace, which is different from the general traditional writing. For example, in the right half of "Shen" and "Chen", the left point of the head is lifted to the left, and the lower part is written as or, moved below the left point and moved to the lower center.
The "heart" in the second half of Worry and Celebration extends to the right, omitting the third point in the room and extending the first point below to the inside.
The word "attack" lengthened the word "dragon" and occupied the left position, while the right half of the province was written on the table. These characters are changed from the original organizational system and stippling form, which seems to be upside down, but they are more stable from the whole glyph. This is also a characteristic of European character.
Generally speaking, the word "dangerous power" can best represent the personality style of Europeans, and the examples mentioned above are all concrete manifestations of danger. More and more dangerous, more and more stable. Take construction engineering as an example. Some pagodas that have been in disrepair are heavily tilted, but they never collapse. This is because although the tower is inclined, it is not far from the center of gravity. The foundation of the tower is firm and has not been eroded, so it can last for a long time despite the wind and rain. European-style characters can best embody this truth, so although the font is different in length, size and inclination, stippling does not meet the horizontal and vertical standards, it can still be steady and three-dimensional. This is the difference between Ouzai and other schools, and it is also the most worth learning.
Second, the characteristics of stippling
The characteristics of European stippling, especially Li Quanming of Jiucheng Palace, are as follows:
1. horizontal painting class
Draw long characters at the bottom, and write them with extremely long bottom lines, such as "Shang" and "Chen". If this is done, all characters with a bottom line will be more stable.
There are also long paintings in the middle, such as the words "year" and "summer", so there are no other long paintings outside, so Chinese paintings should also be treated according to the bottom horizontal.
There are also some words whose vertices are rewritten as horizontal, such as "Chong" and "Hu". This is because the upper part of the word is too light, so in order to increase the pressure, horizontal lines are used instead of dots.
All horizontal paintings, regardless of length, should be written by strokes. Turn the pen to the left first, then to the right, and then put the pen back inside. This is called "putting the pen forward".
2. Vertical painting
The last stroke is a vertical painting, and the vertical painting must be particularly long, such as the words "year" and "needle". If it is painted vertically on the top of the word, it should extend upward as far as possible, such as "direction" and "point". It is also written as "back to the front".
Draw vertically on the left and make gestures, such as side; On the right, gestures, such as. When you draw vertically, the gesture is like the word "door". Its writing is the same as the general vertical painting, but the right side of the "door" should be written as usual.
Short and vertical, such as "day" and "east" Its writing method is also to use the inverted pen to start the pen, but it is different from the general vertical painting. As long as the pen tip is inverted, it can be turned down after reaching the apex, and the pen will still return to the front.
3. Point class
According to different purposes, there are several different ways to write points in European words.
The vertices of Bao are all made of rice. For example. Like vertical painting, it is also "reversing the pen to the front", but with a pen.
Don't do this.
Some points are on the left, some are vertical, and some are inclined to the left and slightly upward. The style of writing is as posturing as "mouth" painting.
The most special thing is the "residence" next to Sanshui Point, and most of them are done. The first point is oblique (as is the angle of Ge Hecuo), and the second point is blunt and sharp, written in the same way as vertical painting. Don't go back to the front when you collect the pen, but go straight down to pick up the last pen. There are three kinds of water written in the same way, but few.
The left point of the word "er" is vertical, just the opposite, such as "Yang" and "Yang".
The characters with three points, four points and scattered points are very small, and their postures are different. Three points are like "Yu", four points are like "Wei" and scattered points are like "Ling".
Step 4 skim the floating foam
The apostrophes of European characters are also varied:
The oblique strokes of the prefix "Mi", such as the prefix "Bi", are mostly written in the same way as the left dot.
The ellipsis beside the word "I", "Yu", "Nei" and "Dai" all have vertical bodies, such as "Nei", "Dai" and "Xie", which are written in the same way as "Japan" and "East".
The words "skin" and "branch" are both associated with vertical painting, and they are all written in this way.
5. Hook type
The most striking feature of European characters is the vertical hook. Generally, the hooks of vertical hooks are all selected, and only the European characters are selected in the upper right corner. Its gesture should be, and its writing method should be.
European characters have small vertical hooks, such as the word "gram", which is written like this. Others don't even tick, such as the word "Dan". In fact, it's not without ticks, it's just not showing. Writing is to reach out to the pen, gently press the nib to the right, and then mention it to the upper left. This is the so-called "meaning to the pen".
The "case" hooks (also called arc hooks) in European characters are all written very long, such as "Cheng", "Shi" and "Wu".
6. Others
Some short vertical characters in European characters only have "dot" but no "vertical", such as "color" and "city".
The word "mouth" can be written as "loss", such as "loss" and "loss"
Write "or" next to "good".
"Ou" versus "meter" and "head"? "Head confused. For example, write "Fu" with the word "Fu". The word "festival" is written as "Xi" and the word "past" is written as "".
