The morphological characteristics of horizontal paintings

The morphological characteristics of the horizontal painting are: light on the left and heavy on the right, tilting up to the right.

The key point of writing horizontal paintings is to draw the pen with the exposed edge downward to the right. The exposed edge of the hard pen often has a pointed edge, then pause the stroke, and then turn in the opposite direction. After the stroke is drawn, fold downward. It is thinner in the middle, then slightly heavier, and then strokes downward. When the stroke is closed, it is slightly to the left. Horizontal strokes are the basic strokes in calligraphy, and common horizontal strokes include "short horizontal", "middle horizontal", "long horizontal", "left pointed horizontal", "right pointed horizontal", "Leheng", "Ceheng", etc., and short Horizontal is a horizontal painting with a shorter length, and its basic characteristics are "light on the left and heavy on the right, tilting up to the right."

Horizontal drawings are usually slanted when tying characters, and this upward-right leaning shape is usually called Kangjian. One of the main characteristics of the anti-shoulder is that the starting stroke is low and the finishing stroke is high. That is, when there are more than two horizontal strokes in a word, the spacing between the horizontal strokes must be equal. This is easy to understand. The difficulty lies in the fact that when there are many horizontal drawings, the spacing between the horizontal drawings is difficult to grasp and requires more practice. At the same time, horizontal drawings often form an equidistant relationship with strokes such as dots and mentions. Such as: main, cloud, etc.

Horizontal drawing writing:

Horizontal drawings have three forms: long horizontal, medium horizontal and short horizontal.

The most common points of the three strokes are all tilting upward to the right, which is the shoulder resistance. The long and horizontal ends are thick at both ends and the middle is thin. There must be a sharp edge when starting and closing the pen. The overall shape is low on the left and high on the right, with a slight arc upward, making it look straight and tense. The middle horizontal line is a shortened version of the long horizontal line. If you know how to write the long horizontal line, you don’t need to practice it. The short horizontal line can basically be regarded as the right half of the long horizontal line.

The first half of the long horizontal shoulder is the shoulder, and the size of the shoulder is consistent with the size of the short horizontal shoulder above. The right half is horizontal. When writing, you can refer to the horizontal center line above and keep it parallel to the horizontal center line. This is also a tip for long horizontal writing. In addition, special attention should be paid to the fact that the left half and the right half are straight lines without arcs.

The curvature is naturally formed by the changes in thickness of the strokes. The left half of the horizontal painting goes from thick to thin, and the right half goes from thin to thick. When combined together, a curvature will naturally appear; this is caused by the change in the direction of the strokes. After the horizontal stroke reaches the middle position, it turns from the shoulder-resistance state to the horizontal stroke, thereby creating an arc.
