Jiezi is a calligraphy term that refers to the arrangement of dots and dashes and the formal arrangement of characters, also known as "jie" or "frame".
The length, thickness, pitch, expansion and contraction of Chinese character strokes, as well as the width, height, side alignment, etc. of the radicals, constitute the different forms of the knot character.
Feng Ban of the Qing Dynasty said in his book "The Essentials of Blunt Yin Calligraphy": "There is no other secret to calligraphy, only the use of the pen and the ear for knotting words."
Mr. Qi Gong, a calligrapher He believes that "from the art of calligraphy, there is a dialectical relationship between the use of pens and knotting, but in terms of the advanced and shallow stages of learning, knotting should be the priority."
When learning calligraphy knots, you need to pay attention to:
1. First, learn the stroke order - where to write first, then where to write, and figure out the order;
2. Then you need to learn the priority - distinguish which strokes are important and which strokes are secondary;
3. Finally, you need to learn the arrangement - learn the arrangement rules of the strokes, and you can draw inferences about other cases.
Extended information:
In the structural structure of calligraphy, the final thing is the main stroke. The main stroke is the most important stroke in a word and must be written well.
From a morphological point of view, thick, long, and stretched pens are mostly used as main pens. When we write, we should first determine the main stroke, and then make it bigger and more stretched. The written form will be fixed over time. For example, when we hear the word "三", when we hear this word, we will think of it as the bottom horizontal is the longest among the three horizontal lines, so the main stroke should be the bottom horizontal. No one can write the first and second horizontal strokes longer than the third horizontal stroke.
In the word "Temple", the middle horizontal line is the longest, and the main stroke is the middle horizontal line. In the character "大", the characters "捺" and "捺" stretch to the left and right, so "捺" is the main character. In the word "month", the horizontal fold hook is solid and powerful, which is the main stroke.
There is another phenomenon worth noting, that is, there are repeated horizontal strokes, vertical strokes, or strokes, or strokes in the characters. If these strokes are used as the main strokes, you can only choose the appropriate one among them. The main stroke, the rest of the strokes should be restrained.
The final stroke refers to the last stroke of writing. If the main stroke is the king, then the final stroke is the minister. When the main stroke is not the final stroke, the finishing stroke is only as strong as the main stroke.
