Beginners can learn official script as follows:
First, choose posts that suit them.
han li, as the representative, has many famous posts. For beginners, he suggested "Cao Quanbei", which is easy to use, with beautiful, rigorous and varied words. Secondly, the choice of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is enough.
pen, I think doubled both brush is more suitable for beginners; Ink, ordinary ink on the market is good; Paper, choose the edge paper, it is better to have a grid, which is convenient to control the size of words during practice. The edge paper has strong water absorption and is half-cooked, which is convenient to master the strokes of official script; Ink stone, can be ignored.
To practice official script, you need to make a plan, both in quantity and quality! How much time and paper you practice every day and what kind of effect (level) you achieve should be counted, so that you can check the practice effect every month. Generally speaking, the initial stage is more painful, because we don't often use official script fonts, and it takes a process to understand the characteristics of fonts.
stippling in official script is obviously different from that in seal script. stippling in seal script can be summarized into three types: point, straight and arc, and by the time it developed into official script, it has already possessed eight strokes in the eight methods of permanent characters. In the use of pen, seal script is mostly round pen, while official script has been used by Fiona Fang, and the strokes have changed in thickness.
The points of official script are different from the middle point, the upper point, the left point, the right point and the horizontal point. The middle point is written as follows: after putting pen to paper, raise the pen against the front, turn the pen back to the right, pause the pen down, and then return the pen back to the front in the point.
the difference between the official script and the seal script is that there has been a change of leaning side. The writing of the upper point is slightly the same as the midpoint, except that the last pen does not close the front in the point, but wants to gradually raise the front downward. The left and right points and the horizontal points are written in the same way as the above points, but the starting position and the direction of the front are different.
The writing methods of left and right in Lishu are similar to those of left and right points, but the difference is that the last stroke is longer.
Extended materials:
First, creative points.
1. Take the Fahan tablet and bamboo slips of Qin and Han dynasties. The so-called method is to interpret and experience seriously and assiduously, rather than passing by. Look at the works of contemporary people less, and look at the works of contemporary people to see their shortcomings and deficiencies.
2. Grasp the creative state of the subject properly. "Writing" is actually to make the writing process and creative emotions paper. Repeated strokes will form inertia. From birth to maturity, we should avoid maturity and grow up.
3. Correctly treat the problem of style. Style is naturally generated and cannot be generalized. The style is not strong, so don't worry about it; There is no need to be complacent or deliberately avoid those who have formed a style.
second, the structural characteristics.
1. Start writing and collect the swallowtail.
this is a typical feature of the brush used in official script, especially in the official script, which is almost always used for horizontal and horizontal painting. The so-called "silkworm head" means that in the process of using a pen to hide (reverse) the front, at the same time, the stroke shape formed in the process of starting a pen is written into a shape similar to that of a silkworm head. "Swallowtail", that is, press the pen at the pen-receiving place, and then pick the pen obliquely to the upper right.
2. Turn a circle into a square and turn an arc into a straight one.
these are two basic ways to simplify seal script in official script. However, if you don't understand the circle of seal script, it is not easy to master the side of official script. Because the straight painting or square folding in the official script all contain the arc potential of seal characters, the straightness of the official script often has obvious fluctuation and is full of vitality. In fact, the brushwork of official script is based on the way of stroke movement.
3. The shape is flat and spread left and right.
Li-zi changes its vertical posture to horizontal posture, resulting in a flat shape, and the strokes contract the vertical posture and strengthen the horizontal spread.
