Shun, a commonly used Chinese word (first-class word), pronounced shùn, first appeared in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Its original meaning means that things are moving in the same direction, and it also means that things are going smoothly and smoothly. Brush writing refers to words written according to traditional statutes, rather than words written casually with a brush. Calligraphy is a line modeling art, and the so-called brush strokes mainly talk about how to shape ideal lines.
Calligraphy is a line modeling art, and the so-called brushwork mainly talks about how to shape ideal lines. Lift and press-write by the pen, the strokes will be thick, just lift it. Just like a person's walking feet, one falls and the other rises, constantly alternating, and the pen keeps pressing in the process of writing. Only in this way can lines with different thicknesses be produced.
Every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: input, writing and receiving. There is a method of "exposing the front" to make the pen tip sharp or square; There is a method of "hiding the front", in which the front enters the pen, the horizontal painting wants to be straight first, and the vertical painting wants to be down first, so that the front of the pen is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically round.
Learn to "use the pen from the middle" when writing, so that the front tip often runs in the middle of the strokes. In order to make strokes more powerful, we should learn to use the pen unsmiling, leaving lines in the middle and lines in the middle to avoid glitz. There are "exposed front" (the pen is gradually lifted off the paper, drawing a sharp point, such as hanging the needle vertically, skimming, pressing and hooking) and "hidden front" (the pen tip is retracted into the painting, such as hanging vertically, and the pen tail is round).
Historical background:
As a writing tool, the brush has a very long history. As early as Neolithic painted pottery, there were traces of brush. Although the writing brush had not been seen before the Western Zhou Dynasty, some signs of using a pen can be found in prehistoric painted pottery patterns of Shang Dynasty and Oracle Bone Inscriptions. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the brush was widely used to write bamboo slips and silk books.
This shows that the brush originated before Shang Dynasty. The earliest writing brush can be traced back to about two thousand years ago. The writing brush of the Spring and Autumn Period was found in the tomb of Zeng Houyi in Leigudun, Suizhou City, Hubei Province. It is the earliest discovered pen and a precious material left by ancient times. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, pens had different names, such as "pen", "jade" and "symbol".
