Hanging calligraphy is called calligraphy in dance because it contains the characteristics of dance performance. Usually calligraphy is written on the desktop, and the writer writes with one hand, and then can only write clockwise, not multi-directional and multi-structure. Can the single expression of traditional calligraphy be broken through? Mr. Zhang Guisheng was inspired by the study of dance and martial arts, and finally made a breakthrough in calligraphy through practice. The most convincing achievement is the creation of "hanging calligraphy".
How does hanging calligraphy reflect the characteristics of dance?
First, the writing of hanging calligraphy requires both hands to be good at the creation of traditional calligraphy.
Secondly, suspension calligraphy has made pioneering progress in the field of writing counterclockwise fonts; Writing in the right direction means writing Chinese characters backwards. Hanging calligraphy requires both hands to be good at writing Chinese characters counterclockwise, which is called "endorsement" in the performance of hanging calligraphy. When hanging calligraphy requires writing "endorsement", it must reach the same level as the traditional "formal book". The orthodox book here refers to the clockwise writing form of traditional calligraphy.
Thirdly, hanging calligraphy requires both hands to alternately write "original book" and "endorsement" to convey the meaning of "hand dance language" in dance.
Fourth, hanging calligraphy requires the combination of "original book" and "endorsement" written by both hands to form an interactive art form. The highest difficulty is that both hands can constantly change the writing direction. A poem can be written by "correction" and "endorsement", just like the body has to turn left and right in the process of dancing. In the process of writing, this ever-changing rotating writing should achieve harmony from the whole process and give people beautiful enjoyment from the appreciation of works.
Fifth, hanging calligraphy requires the ability to create "harmonious calligraphy" works. There are several ways to express calligraphy style. One is to alternately write traditional clockwise fonts with left and right hands to complete a calligraphy work. Secondly, the left and right hands cooperate to write a Chinese character, and then create a calligraphy work in this cooperative way. This way of cooperation can still be used for Tai Chi style works or other forms of hanging calligraphy.
Sixth, in order to show its performance, suspended calligraphy requires that the written Xuan paper (raw Xuan) is suspended. Hanging here means that the two corners of the paper are clamped by clips, which makes people look like the paper has no back pad, and it seems that the writer can't concentrate on the paper. In this way, it is difficult for people to write on suspended paper. Hanging calligraphy requires both hands to write "original book" and "endorsement" on hanging paper, which is even more difficult.
Seventh, hanging calligraphy requires that the writing level can reach the upper level. The writing of hanging calligraphy should be improvised, and the content required by the audience can be created at a high level on the spot.
Eighth, the calligraphy lines in the hanging calligraphy performance should have the characteristics of flowing in the dance streamline, so that people have a hearty and unrestrained feeling when watching the written points and lines.
Ninth, the expression of hanging calligraphy should be both ornamental and aesthetic.
The above is a brief introduction to the characteristics of suspended calligraphy. In addition, Mr. Zhang Guisheng also created the form and significance of performing Tai Ji Chuan and impromptu dance. After hanging calligraphy, Zhang Guisheng will improvise Tai Ji Chuan or xingyi dance. Secondly, Zhang Guisheng has created a set of methods to relax muscles quickly, and can demonstrate muscles for the audience on the spot. As long as the muscles are specially adjusted on the audience's calf for five minutes, people's legs can feel relaxed and comfortable.
Hanging calligraphy has created a dream of an era and demonstrated China's mysterious artistic stunts. As long as you watch the hanging calligraphy performance, you will applaud China's artistic stunts.
