1, the habit of using regular script pen:
The characteristics of regular script are: first, pay attention to the opening and closing of lines, and the opening and closing movements are delicate, rich and in place; Second, the action of moving the pen to form the middle section of the line is mainly to raise the pressure, with less twisting the pen; Third, almost all the horizontal folds are turning points, with obvious pen folding movements. Wang Xizhi lived in Wei and Jin Dynasties, which was the period when official script developed to regular script, Cao Zhang and Jin Cao. Wang Xizhi is good at regular script, and regular script has also made great artistic achievements, such as Le Yi Lun, Huang Ting Jing and Dong Fangshuo Xi Xiang Zan. Compared with seal script, regular script is not as thick as seal script, but it is more refined, rich and rigorous than seal script and seal script. In the treatment of horizontal folding, regular script is mainly a turning point. Compared with the turning point of seal script and official script, although it is less heavy, it is a little more refreshing. In particular, the downward folding stroke opens the structure of a single word for cursive script, strengthens the combination of words and word groups, and makes the whole work play a key role. This pen transfer is based on the habit of writing in official script, and also for Wang Xizhi.
2. The habit of writing with a pen;
The biggest feature of the seal script pen is the pen heart. Almost all the turning points are close to translation and turning, and there is no turning point (except for the inscription of seal script with unique personality and style, such as Qi Sangong Mountain Monument), and there are many curves, with almost no catching and frustration.
The main feature of the pen used for official script is that almost all horizontal folds are twisted pens, with little or no turning, and many horizontal strokes are straight, most of which are "waves" and "twists" formed by lifting and twisting strokes. Some strokes of seal script and official script are characterized by focusing on hiding the head and protecting the tail, especially on the richness and massiness of the midline. In Lun Shu, we often talk about ancient law, ancient quality, where is the law and where is the quality, which may be hidden in the middle of the line.
