Calligraphy type:
China's calligraphy is a very unique visual art, which develops the writing of characters into an aesthetic stage-it combines the creator's ideas, thinking and spirit, and can stimulate the aesthetic feeling of the aesthetic object (that is, the formation of a real sense of calligraphy). Calligraphy has a long history. From the late Shang Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty's unification of China (22 1 year ago), the general trend of the evolution of Chinese characters was from complexity to simplicity.
First, seal script (big seal script, small seal script): Legend has it that it began in the pre-Qin period; There is a big seal in front of a little seal.
There are many hieroglyphics in seal script, and there are various expressions. Most of them are mainly shaped, such as horses, sheep and elephants, and the rules of distribution structure have not been regularized.
Xiao Zhuan's form should be accurate, horizontal painting should be flat and vertical painting should be straight, which is a rigorous and neat calligraphy form. Xiao Zhuan is mainly round in structure and brushwork, and the outline of the characters is neatly arranged because of the elongated cross line in the center of the characters, and the lines are even and long.
Second, official script: Legend has it that it began in the Qin Dynasty. It evolved from a circular seal script to a square folded stroke. The font changes from slender to flat, tightens up and down, stretches left and right, and the pen changes from slow to short, showing a lively and diverse atmosphere.
