There are three types of brush cursive fonts: Cao Zhang, Cao Cao and Da Shao. Therefore, when drawing brush cursive fonts, we should separate the three types of brush cursive fonts with pens. The brushwork of grass and grass belongs to the same category, so Cao Zhang's brushwork is omitted. Caocao's brushstrokes change endlessly.
Sun said, "Grass is expensive and flowing smoothly". In other words, the brush cursive font should be smooth. The so-called flow means that the pen should be flexible and unconstrained. A pen is used smoothly, reversely, positively, horizontally, repeatedly, lightly, falsely, practically, purely, freely and naturally, but the pen is still frustrated; The so-called fluency means that you can take advantage of the situation in the air and gallop freely without any stagnation. A real book with dignity can never be-the pen is finished, the pen is slippery, and it can't be lost, which will only increase complexity.
The writing brush cursive script should have a sense of rhythm.
The rhythm of calligraphy stippling is a way to express the dynamic beauty of calligraphy with the fast and slow rhythm of pens. The rhythm of your writing, you wrote the characteristics of the brush cursive font. Regular script is also rhythmic, but it is extremely gentle and not obvious. However, the weight and speed of the brush cursive font have changed greatly. Write ups and downs, there will be a sense of turbulence, and the characters will "live". This is related to the rhythm of music. A piece of music can be pleasing to the ear because of its beautiful melody, harmonious rhythm and fluency. A work with a brush cursive font can be pleasing to the eye and memorable because of its strokes, cadence, left and right knots, large and small, and full of business. If you use the average speed when you start writing, the fast is all fast, the slow is all slow, and there is no rhythm change and monotony, then the work will inevitably be stiff or dull, or the performance will be hasty and have no artistic appeal. So when you write some pictures, you must pay attention to the speed and weight of the pen rhythm, and then there will be rhythm.
If you want to master the rhythm, you should also memorize the mold opening method. You should slow down and decide the situation first. If you get up quickly, there will be no rules For example, Lu Jianzhi's "Wen Fu" and Li Yong's "Lushan Temple Monument" can best reflect the dynamic, calm and powerful, so that the words written can be accurate and comprehensive, and the pen can be used to the bones and the mind is quiet. It is elegant, lofty and spotless. If you are a beginner of writing brush cursive script, you will want to express your feelings in a freehand way, and you will be full of defects and difficulties if you are happy and willful and despise the stability of your work. Zhu Hegang's New Interpretation of Linchi said: "If you write a book, you must write it in your spare time. If you start writing in a hurry, there will be no beginning and end, and there will be no hint in your communication. For example, if you are confused, you will be confused. " Therefore, although the pace of writing calligraphy cursive script is a little faster, we must not rush into it and lose our statutes.
Light and heavy, fast and slow are relative, focusing on stability, massiness and texture; Light and smart, light and graceful; Take the rigorous and magical notes at the end of the pen; Take your time, and you will naturally linger. Properly handled, the pen is vivid, natural and unpredictable, so the key to using the pen is to obey the law. Liu Xizai put it well: "No matter how late it is written, we should be prepared for the law. People with good writing will soon be prepared by the law, and those with poor writing will be left behind by the law. " Furthermore, Jie Jin in the Ming Dynasty wrote "Comments on Spring Rain Miscellaneous Notes and Brush Cursive Fonts": "Learning books is frustrating with quietness, and using them with change. Both are indispensable. If there is deviation in the discipline, it is not a theory. If Duke Lu is calm, this is not a good thing. Huai Su's flying is very interesting. " Calligraphy art changes from beginning to end, and it is difficult to set rules. If you are paranoid, you will lose something. It is very inclusive and difficult to do. The pros and cons are all in the depth of understanding.
Writing brush cursive script should have "strength"
The key to the aesthetic feeling of calligraphy pen lies in "strength" Whether the appearance of the pen is soft or hard, it needs to contain strength. The origin of this strength is to give full play to the writer's pen skills and the ability to control the fineness of the pen, so that the force of the pen and the reaction force of the paper form adhesive friction, so that the pen written can be ups and downs with light strokes, or graceful and smooth, or thick and concise, or soft and vigorous, reflecting the "strength." "-a thousand words, the principle is painting", with a strong sense of pen, then the works can have good quality.
The writing brush cursive font should be dynamic.
The brush cursive font pursues the sense of turbulence with the pen. Turbulence produces changes, and turmoil is full of infinite vitality. Because the writing of this pen is full of the writer's passion, and this pen is based on the "circle" of the pen that represents the center of skill, which is smooth, dynamic and unambiguous. "Circle" is a three-dimensional concept, which represents no beginning, no end, no neutrality. The round pen is the smoothest, the most supple and the hardest, and it contains the richest association of beauty. The circle is everywhere and has endless meanings. The continuous cursive brushwork is dazzling and unpredictable, and the brushwork of writing, writing, seal cutting and writing should be combined, so the brushwork of Fiona Fang, Zhong Fang, Ji Xu, light and heavy, lifting and pressing, turning and so on can be applied and applied in cursive brushwork. Although it is fast and continuous, it should still be as Liu Xizai pointed out, "The cursive font of the brush is particularly heavy on the reinforcement. If you don't change the pen, you will always slide down and be exhausted. " Although the pulse is Shang Ya, it is always necessary to make the first stroke knot, the second stroke rise, and the next pulse continues to break, not a wave. "
The beauty of using a pen lies in its shape and texture. Shape is dynamic, it is driven by emotion. The texture can be round with the gain of the circle at the center. On the contrary, if the pen is floating, flat and thin, or soft and boneless, or hard and moist, or fat and fleshy, or thin and explicit, or coarse and vulgar, or smooth and rigid, or not stiff, or awkward, it is a disease of using the pen and a loss of form and quality.
Writing style of brush cursive font
The writing style of brush cursive script is very different because of the personality differences of calligraphers, and the rhythm and melody of writing are also very different. Round and vigorous writing can better reflect the writer's completely different temperament.
The stippling of Chinese characters is composed of various pens, such as thick, short and straight. "Line" is the basic element of a glyph. Therefore, some people directly call the beauty of calligraphy the beauty of brushwork. The straight pen gives people a feeling of strength, straightness and rigidity, while the curved pen gives people a feeling of roundness, change and softness. The straight pen without change is stiff, while too much bending and excessive arc are powerless, which will make people think of "ugliness"
Calligraphy artists are good at expressing their deep feelings in the form of "lines". The passion in an artist's heart is sometimes like a roaring sea and a spewing volcano; Sometimes it will be like a trickle, euphemistic piano sound. Different emotional expressions have different pen forms. Huai Su's "Weeds" composed of a whirlwind pen gives the impression that it is endless and full of aura. Wang Xizhi's brush cursive script is graceful, peaceful, elegant and chic, and the mood he sees in the illusory world is quiet.
