Learn the rules of regular script
Composition is an important part of the formal beauty of calligraphy. Stippling is the beauty of lines, frame structure is the beauty of local composition, and composition is the beauty of overall composition. The laws of Zhao Ti's regular script can be studied and grasped from two aspects.

First, uniformity. The overall sense of regular script, first of all, is neat. The arrangement of words and lines is equidistant, giving people a steady and solemn visual effect. This form is most suitable for regular script in a strict sense. If the shapes with different knot widths and lengths change locally, there will be no disharmony or monotony in regular script that is uniform but not stiff.
Second, diversity and unity. The biggest feature of Zhao Ti's regular script is that it contains elements of running script, and its brushwork is changeable, taking characters as shapes, without deliberate arrangement, and it has a very harmonious and unified relationship in diversity and changeability. It gives people the feeling that there is movement in silence and affection in words. A calligraphy work is first infected with its overall effect, which is composed of countless parts. Therefore, when arranging the composition, we should not ignore the details of each word, such as the shape, length, change, and sense of rhythm, which require careful consideration and strict design. Only after a long period of unremitting tempering can we handle the composition freely, presenting a design beauty that seems to have no design, and reaching a higher realm of calligraphy art.
The rules of regular script are not complicated, and the main forms are nave, couplets, banners, horizontal accounts and sectors. In the arrangement of regular script, the word spacing and line spacing are basically the same, but some line spacing is greater than the word spacing; They are all written vertically from right to left, and those with fewer words are still written from right to left; Modern Chinese is written horizontally from left to right. This method can also be used under special needs, but it is better to write vertically from right to left. Writing attention
Song Cao, a calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, said: "When you build a model, you must first make clear the internal framework of the character and get its shape, and then you can achieve natural harmony by methods. However, the size, complexity, length, width and narrowness should not be as straight as the operator, but it can make maximum use of its ontology, not limited to strokes, and curb its interest. It's natural to make the pen work hard, with different words and lines. This is the law. You have to escape and make it disperse; It must also be embedded in the middle and the tendon is not exposed. Nothing hangs down, nothing goes far, it is a hidden front, which makes people think outside the words. If it is block letters, the structure is expensive and dense, otherwise the otter is rambling and dull, and if it is too dense, it will be vulgar. Writing small characters is easy to be cramped, and it is open and has a large font segment. People who are prone to cramps are suffering from a bitter pen and tight hands, and their wrists are ineffective, pulling left and right; Hang the pen in the virtual palm and turn it to live. If you want to be behind a pen, you have to touch your ears, which is not a book.
In short, if you are familiar with it, you will naturally be born. There was a Tang dynasty who took people by calligraphy, so it was very strict and very European and American. Ou and Yan are suitable for rescuing temples. If it's normal, he doesn't need to take it when Fa Hammer, Wang, (Oriental Painting Praise), Lun, Bei, (Luo Shen Fu) and "The Preface to Breaking Evil" are the rules. "
Note: The explanation is accurate and really desirable. [7]
Pen calligraphy
Regular script is the main style of Chinese characters [8]. Kay, model, standard font. Pen regular script has the following characteristics:
Pay attention to the pen.
Pen regular script strokes are Teton, Hidden Dew, Fiona Fang, Fast and Slow, etc. Use different pen methods to generate.
The shape and texture of lines are different, and different lines need different pen methods to reflect them. Pen regular script font is small, and the line thickness does not change much. If you don't pay attention when writing, the strokes will not meet the requirements, and the strokes will be weak, stiff and stiff. So you must go through strict training to master the method of using a pen.
Clear strokes
Pen regular script should be clearly explained in terms of the starting and closing of each stroke, neat and standardized, clean and tidy, and should not be scribbled or adhered. However, there must be an internal echo relationship between strokes, so that strokes can be orderly, clear, solid and powerful, constantly stopping, straight but not stiff, curved but not weak, smooth and natural, and very beautiful!
Structural square
Structurally, the pen [9] book emphasizes the balanced distribution of strokes and radicals, stable center of gravity, appropriate proportion, correct font and standardization. The characters should be arranged together, with symmetrical sizes and neat lines. Although there are also uneven changes in shape, it is still relatively neat as a whole.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that many calligraphers in the past dynasties advocated regular script as the first step in learning calligraphy. The current Chinese syllabus for nine-year compulsory primary schools requires students to learn to write regular script with pen in primary school, lay a good foundation and create conditions for writing regular script in middle school. Practice has proved that only through systematic practice of regular script can we understand the characteristics and requirements of strokes and structures of Chinese characters [8], master the combination rules of Chinese characters, lay a writing foundation for learning to write regular script, and thus practice fluent and natural running script and cursive script.
To practice regular script, we should work hard on strokes and structure. Practicing strokes is mainly to solve the problem of using pens, with the aim of creating qualified "parts"; Practice structure, mainly to solve the combination problem of strokes and radicals, with the aim of learning structural methods, mastering structural rules, and achieving the requirements of correct, neat and beautiful writing.
