Calligraphy aesthetics pursues the beauty of overall form, stippling structure and ink color combination.
On the surface, calligraphy refers to the statutes of writing. In life, the word calligraphy has the following meanings. One is the pronoun of a written work or the collective name of all written works; Second, an art category generally refers to the art of writing Chinese characters. In Guang Yi and Zhou Shuang, Kang Youwei said: "The structure of Tang Yan is interesting for merchants in Song Dynasty", which shows that the pursuit of statutes in Tang Dynasty is the highest and most rigorous, and the achievements of calligraphy in Tang Dynasty are also the highest in the history of calligraphy.
The methods and rules of calligraphy include writing, calligraphy, stippling, structure, layout (distribution, lines, composition) and so on. For example, the pen refers to the palm and the five fingers are Qi Li; The pen carrying center is unfolded; Stippling is the same as a pen; The structure is shaped by words and echoes each other; The distribution is intricate, the density is appropriate, and the virtual and the real are born together, and the whole chapter is full of gas fields; Every word is ancient for literacy, and every word is big and small, and high is not as good as low.
The connotation of calligraphy mainly includes the following aspects:
1. Calligraphy refers to the art of expressing emotions with Four Treasures of the Study as a tool. The particularity of tools is an important aspect of the particularity of calligraphy art, and it is an important part of calligraphy techniques to fully embody the performance of tools with the help of Four Treasures of the Study. Without Four Treasures of the Study, there would be no calligraphy art.
2. Calligraphy art takes Chinese characters as the carrier. The particularity of Chinese characters is another important aspect of calligraphy particularity. China's calligraphy can not be separated from Chinese characters, and the form of Chinese character stippling and the collocation of radicals are the contents that writers pay more attention to. Different from other pinyin characters, Chinese characters are a combination of form, sound and meaning, which has strong formal significance.
The so-called "six books" of the ancients refer to six methods of pictographic, fingering, comprehending, pictophonetic, transliteration and borrowing of Chinese characters, which is of great guiding significance to the analysis of Chinese character structure.
3. The background of calligraphy art is China traditional culture. Calligraphy is rooted in China traditional culture, which is the background of its existence and development. The calligraphy theory we see today since the Han Dynasty has its own systematicness, integrity and orderliness. Calligraphy theory, like other literary theories, includes not only the technique theory of calligraphy itself, but also the aesthetic theory of calligraphy, all of which shine with the wisdom of ancient China literati. For example, the theory of how to express the categories of "spirit, qi, bone, flesh and blood" in calligraphy, the theory of techniques such as brushwork, calligraphy and composition, and the theory of creation and evaluation all have their own systems.
4. Calligraphy art noumenon includes brushwork, word method, structure method, composition method, ink method, pen gesture and so on. Calligraphy brushwork is the core content of its techniques. The brushwork, also known as "using a pen", refers to the pen-lifting method with a front. Morphology, also known as "knot" and "structure", refers to the relationship of collocation, insertion, echo and avoidance. Composition, also known as "white cloth", refers to the overall layout of a word, including the handling of the relationship between words and lines. Ink method is the method of using ink, which refers to the treatment of thick and thin dry and wet ink.
Calligraphy is a unique traditional culture and art in China. This is a rule of writing Chinese characters. China's calligraphy art is gradually accepted by Japanese and Korean cultures.
Chinese characters, also known as Chinese characters and Chinese characters, are widely used in the cultural circle of Chinese characters, belonging to morpheme syllables of ideographic characters, which were invented and improved by the ancient Han people. The exact history can be traced back to Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty around 1300 BC. From Xiao Zhuan in Qin Dynasty to Xiao Zhuan in Han Dynasty, they were all named as "Chinese characters". In Tang Dynasty, it became the standard handwritten font used today-regular script. Chinese characters are the main characters that have been used for the longest time so far, and they are also the only characters that have been passed down to this day in various ancient writing systems. In China, Chinese characters are the main official languages of several generations.
Calligraphy aesthetics pursues the beauty of overall form, stippling structure and ink color combination.
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.
