The length of stippling and its relationship include the following meanings:
1, uneven variation of stippling:
Wang Xizhi said in "The Postscript of Lady Wei": "If it is straight and similar, it looks like a symbol, and it is up and down, and the front and back are flush, it is not a book, but a touch. "Although this is about glyphs, it also includes the requirements of stippling. Imagine that if the stippling is different in length, the glyph will not be "up and down, and the front and back are flush".
The shape of a word must be an irregular polygon, so that it will be rich and colorful because of its irregularity. Only in this way can you "draw bit by bit and express it vertically and horizontally" ... If your measurement is unexpected, this book will be wonderful. "
2. Release the relationship of stippling:
The length of stippling in calligraphy actually reflects the relationship between the change of structural density and the release of word potential. It's just that the expression of the ancients is different from the present, simple and straightforward, and the expression of the ancients has more cultural attachments.
As Yao, a Korean, said, "It is said that rooms should be divided into white rooms, and some people say that they can walk in thin rooms, which are airtight. The preface is about legislation, and the latter is about following the trend. How can it be wonderful if there is neither? " When it comes to structure, it is natural to talk about density and shrinkage.
The density here refers to the space between lines. Long stippling means large space, while short stippling means small space. In this way, the density of words naturally appears, the changes of calligraphy naturally appear, and the pursuit of calligraphers has a basis.
"The word is dense, dense and tight, sparse and rich, harmonious and silent, cold and hot, life and death. This has nothing to do with human feelings, it has something to do with heaven and it has nothing to do with you. "Density is the essence of this word." No matter whether the word is dense or oblique, there must be a spiritual knot, which is the palace of words. "
