Pay attention to the shelf structure, and the length and thickness change. Structure, also known as "knot" and "knot". Refers to the arrangement between each dot and the layout of the situation. China's unique square Chinese characters provide a broad space for the artistic creation of calligraphy. The written characters should not only conform to the norms and laws, but also be rich in changes. Chinese characters are formal, and calligraphy is "metaphysics" (Qing Kang Youwei), so the knot is particularly important.
some words are sparse, some are tight, some are stretched, some are elegant, some are simple, some are grotesque, some are steep and thin, and some are plump, all of which are the beauty produced by the calligraphy structure.
the structural beauty of calligraphy can be said to be the organic integration, intersection and infiltration of many negative sides, such as fairness, symmetry, irregularity, coherence and flying, which constructs the structural beauty of characters.
Yuan Zhao Yu-fu's Postscript to Lanting: "Calligraphy is based on the use of a pen, and it takes labor to write words." Various fonts of Chinese characters are all connected and matched by dots and strokes. The length, short, thick, thin, prone, upturned, contracted and stretched of strokes, and the width, narrow, high, low, narrow and straight of the radicals constitute different forms of each character. It is necessary to study its structure in order to make the strokes of characters match appropriately, appropriately and evenly.
Zhang Menglong's stele is changeable in stippling, and there are no similarities in points. The inscription on this stele is sparse outside and dense inside, big and small, suddenly closed and released, taking advantage of the situation, strange and ugly, and the structure is precise and interesting. The 21 "Zhi" characters in Preface to Lanting are known as the best running script in the world with different expressions and vivid charm.
As Feng Ban in Qing Dynasty said in "The Book of Pure Songs": "Learn the shelf first, and the ancients called it a knot; Learn to use a pen when the shelf is clear. You can see the stone tablet in the shelf, and you must use the pen to be original. Concluding words, Jin people use reason, Tang people use it, and Song people intend it. " There is another cloud: "There is no secret in calligraphy, only using a pen and tying the ear."
It can be seen that structure plays an important role in calligraphy. For calligraphers, only by combining lines in form can calligraphers put their sincere and strong feelings into the realm of their works, so that the viewers can be moved by their feelings and produce a * * * sound of thoughts and feelings.

Word-closing skills in calligraphy:
First, the word-closing should be clear
There are various forms of word-closing, and the method of word-closing is of course aimed at several parts. A word, because of the differences between left and right structure, upper, middle and lower structure, upper and lower structure, internal and external structure, and word structure, the method of knot formation follows.
most of these methods are aimed at the official script (seal script), but they are not close to cursive script, but they can also be used for reference. In the process of practice, we must write down their characteristics in order to get in place. As far as Xiao Zhuan is concerned, the font is slightly rectangular (slender), with symmetrical structure, symmetrical beauty from top to bottom, left and right, which shows the solemn charm of simplicity and grandeur.
Second, the way of combining words
The method of combining words pays attention to change and contrast, such as size, height, vertical drag, overlapping, avoiding, giving way, facing, wearing, covering, wrapping, attaching beauty, urgency, inserting, hugging back, rescuing, backing, leaning, connecting and echoing.
Third, the Chinese characters are written by Zhong Gong.
Bao Shichen's "Yi Zhou Shuang Tan Shu Xia" says that "no matter whether the characters are dense or oblique, there must be a spiritual knot, which is for the palace of the characters", and "Zhong Gong has a real painting, and there is a virtual white, so it must be noted by the spirit of its words, and placed in Huguenet Zhong Gong", which is the secret method of writing.
fourth, tangible and ecological
structure can reflect the shaping ability of a calligrapher. Sun Guoting's "Book Score" called "beginner distribution, but seeking justice; The reason why we say "pursuit of service" is that it is difficult and not easy to combine "danger" and "danger" on the basis of "fairness" to make words have state and power.
