Characteristics of Yan Zhenqing's Calligraphy Works

Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy works are characterized by dense structure, light strokes, vigorous brushwork, straightness, openness and vigor.

Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is characterized by its strength and grandeur. Yan Zhenqing used to write books with the brushwork of seal script, and he had a strong sense of seal script in regular script, running script and cursive script. Yan calligraphy focuses on the reverse stroke, pays attention to the middle stroke, and emphasizes the return stroke when collecting the stroke. This stroke system pursues the roundness, conciseness and tension of calligraphy lines.

The strokes of Yan's calligraphy are almost hidden in the front of the pen, which is almost a "hidden" trace. Many strokes are closely hidden at the beginning of the pen because of the intersection of multiple stippling, only the "dot" in the upper right and the "left" in the lower right make the reverse strokes clear, and have a dull visual effect because of the circle. When copying Yan, you must not dilute the inverse peak of Yan.

Method of copying color body:

1, homeopathy

This method is often used to raise the front slightly when the horizontal painting is written to a certain length, so that the front of the pen can be gathered together, and then press the pen down to the right and use the pen down. Such as the word "south".

2. Change to vertical painting

This method is to draw a pen at the end of the horizontal painting and write a vertical painting against the wind above the horizontal painting. For example, the word "Li" is widely used in tablets, and copying should be good at summing up the rules.

3. Square folding conversion method

This is the most common method in regular script, which is widely used by many regular script families. At the end of horizontal painting, slightly lift the pen to the right, and then pause to the right, so that the corner presents a square edge.

4. Hook method

The vertical hook of Yan character is also different from other calligraphers in the way of hooking, which often returns to the front of the hook and then hooks directly above it.
