1. The stable center of gravity
makes the calligraphy and painting short and long, the short is short, the long is long, the left and right are opposite, and even the left and right are spread, which is the most important feature of official script. The strokes of Lishu are somewhat exaggerated, which is similar to other art forms at that time. The reason why the official script has a lofty emotional appeal is also related to this exaggeration.
2. The twists and turns of Li Shu's sketching echo each other.
If it is like an apprentice, the vertical painting on the left becomes a skimming form, which can echo with the pen on the right. If it is still a vertical painting like a regular script, it will have no visual echo. The echo is not symmetrical, and many of the official scripts reflect each other in this way.
The characteristics of Lishu
1. The shape of Lishu is square and flat, and the horizontal trend is
The shape of Lishu is square and flat, and the cover is long and short; The horizontal trend is due to the twists and turns of the horizontal pick. Of course, not all official scripts are flat, but they give people the impression that they are flat. For example, the characters in Zhang Qianbei are actually long, but they are flat in sense or visual effect.
2. The calligraphy and painting are straight and the layout is symmetrical.
The official script is a complicated and subtle script with a simple surface. Master Hongyi said that the knowledge in the world is ambiguous; The knowledge of the world is profound, and there are few gimmicks. This point can also be found in calligraphy, and official script is like this. There are fewer gimmicks, but the meaning is deep.
