General rules of writing (1) Founder and dignified. Sun Guoting, a great calligrapher, said: "When you are new to learning distribution, you must strive for fairness; now that you know fairness, you must pursue danger; once you are able to escape danger, return to fairness." Founder and dignified It can be said to be a basic requirement for any writing. No matter which font is used, writing the characters correctly is the starting point for writing Chinese characters. Although the writing has the characteristics of calligraphy, squareness and dignity are qualities that have existed since ancient times. It can be said that most calligraphy works from ancient times, whether individual characters or as a whole, all have the purpose of being correct. (2) Regular strokes Whether you are a beginner or a famous calligrapher, your pursuit of the quality of strokes should be endless. For beginners, mastering the basic rules of strokes is undoubtedly the basis for writing Chinese characters. Perhaps precisely because of the need to promote the writing of Chinese characters, our country has summarized the rules of the basic strokes of writing Chinese characters since ancient times. That is to use the "Eight Methods of Yongzi" as a model for writing Chinese characters to train people's basic writing common sense. In the Eight Methods of Yongzi, the ancients divided the basic strokes of Chinese characters into eight types and trained them separately. The Eight Methods of Yongzi have almost become the introductory process of Chinese calligraphy: (3) Well-proportioned structure. Everything has its own external structure and internal structure. Chinese characters are no exception. Whether Chinese characters are written well or not is often closely related to the structure. To understand the structure of Chinese calligraphy, we need to pay attention to two aspects: First, from a broad perspective, it refers to the natural harmony and beauty between the various elements and spaces that make up Chinese characters. Generally speaking, it is a rule that conforms to the laws of natural structure. Second, from a narrow perspective, it refers to several basic ways of composing the structure of Chinese characters. Such as single structure and combined structure. Composite structures include upper and lower structures, left and right structures, fully enclosed structures, enclosed structures, etc. Third, from the perspective of writing rules, there are individual calligraphers who specialize in studying the structural rules of writing and sorting them out. For example, Ouyang Xun in the Tang Dynasty summarized the thirty-six methods of Chinese character structure, and Huang Ziyuan in the Qing Dynasty summarized There are ninety-two methods of intervening structure. These are the rules you can follow when writing Chinese characters. Only when you grasp the basic structure of Chinese characters and pay attention to understand their profound connotations when writing, can you write Chinese characters well. (4) Writing Fluency If we just write stroke by stroke when writing Chinese characters, we will never be able to write them well. Fundamentally speaking, the essence of writing Chinese characters lies in practicality, so fluent writing is undoubtedly can improve its practical value. This requires us to write Chinese characters well while also writing quickly and conveniently. Only in this way can we realize the value of Chinese character writing. So how can you write quickly and easily? Based on our observation and analysis of ancient and modern calligraphy, we should pay attention to writing the relationship between the internal strokes of Chinese character fonts, and write out their connections. Pay attention to writing the relationship between external characters, that is, their alternating positions, so that the writing speed can be improved. . We observe that many calligraphy works benefit from this feature, and they not only express the beauty of Chinese characters, but also the speed of writing Chinese characters. Its practicality is greatly enhanced. (5) Writing with characteristics The meaning of writing with characteristics is that each calligrapher has different writing characteristics in different periods. Every calligrapher writes different fonts, which are different. In every era, calligraphers have different writing characteristics. The more vital the writing, the more varied its writing style will be. This requires us to write our own style and characteristics while training our basic writing skills. In order to increase the artistic appeal of writing.
