Calligraphy evaluation is a complicated psychological process. The first visual impression of calligraphy evaluation is often the spirit and charm of the book. Re-examine the composition of the work, analyze the intention of writing with a pen and having a book, and think of various things in life, the author's creative environment and ideological activities, so as to understand the beauty of the work.
2. Appreciate:
The content of calligraphy appreciation is mainly composition, brushwork, ink method, seal, inheritance and characteristics. There are two main methods: one is to look at the situation from a distance and see the whole. Look at the layout and overall momentum of calligraphy works, whether the context is clear, the momentum is coherent, smart and transparent. The second is to look closely at the macro quality and the details. Look at the texture of stippling, and look at the relationship between words and strokes.
3. Check:
It refers to the analysis and textual research on the related contents of calligraphy and painting works by using literature and other materials. It is an indispensable auxiliary means for the identification of ancient paintings and calligraphy. The combination of visual inspection and textual research, multi-faceted analysis and comprehensive analysis will make the appraisal conclusion more objective. For some works of earlier times, textual research is more important because there are few handed down works.
Types of inscriptions and postscript:
1, postscript:
Postscript is the words written by calligraphers after books (including collections of poems, inscriptions, calligraphy and painting records, historical reviews, etc.). ), equivalent to "postscript" and "postscript". Although the text is short, it often has historical data and artistic value.
For example, Lu You's Postscript of Six-Year-old Jushi (notes on ancient books, postscript on the tail), Postscript of Liu Liuzhou Collection (it is known that Liu Zongyuan's poems have been falsified by others at that time), Postscript of Guangzi (the sequence of known words is different) and Postscript of Pre-biography and Postscript of General Ancient Chinese Characters in Han Dynasty (it is known that there were ancient Chinese character reference books at that time).
2. Postscript of this book:
Postscript refers to the inscription and postscript of others or self-made calligraphy works. There are a large number of such inscriptions, many of which are excellent. Calligraphy works and postscript written by calligraphers are tantamount to the abbot's self-knowledge. In addition, some words are beautiful, good at imitating modality and natural in language, which really makes people unforgettable.
For example, Huang Gu's "After Dongpo's Ci Title" records that "Dongpo lay people are extremely reluctant to write, but they can't be angry. Those who beg for books will be severely punished or will not give way.
