Is the quality of calligraphy directly proportional to the price?

Yan Zhenqing kaishu

A calligraphy work is in front of us, how to measure it? This not only considers your vision and taste, but also tests your realm and level. You may know, but you don't know why. You know it, but you can't say how good it is. So, is there any specific standard to measure it? In fact, measuring the specific level of a calligraphy mainly depends on the following three aspects. Master these standards, and when there are calligraphy works in front of you in the future, you can solemnly say one, two and three, and talk to a bunch of words Kan Kan, so as not to be speechless with your mouth open.

One: There are high and low calligraphy styles.

The style depends on whether the calligrapher's words and deeds are consistent with China's traditional philosophy, such as the Confucian doctrine of the mean and the Taoist doctrine of nature. This is not only the temperament of life, but also the style of calligraphy. Generally, a person's knowledge, culture, temperament, morality, self-cultivation and so on can be reflected in calligraphy. Of course, you should fully understand the philosophy in China's traditional culture. Without this foundation, it is impossible.

Second, the richness of calligraphy technology.

Change is the source of beauty. If there is a change, it will create risks. The risks of calligraphy mainly include brushwork risk, composition risk, ink risk and word risk. Among them, the first thing to be solved is the brushwork risk.

Long-term and short-term comparison of 1 Join several words together to form a long string. The long line is continuous, and the short line is crisp and neat.

2 contrast between thick line and thin line. Thin lines test technology the most, and it is not easy to write full and round.

3 Comparison of straight lines and curves. There is no absolute straight line in calligraphy, and all lines have a certain radian. There is a bend in the straight, and there is a straight in the bend. A straight line with radian is an advanced straight line, and an arc with a straight line is an advanced arc. Turning a straight line into an arc will be full and the lines will be elastic. An advanced curve is a straight line in a curve. Curves are like steel bars. When you bend them, they bounce back.

Comparison between straight line and diagonal line. A work must have a straight contrast, such as the word "Xie" written by Wang Xizhi. Turning a straight line into a diagonal line will have a different relationship. Miffy also mastered this point and showed great exaggeration in his works.

Three: technical difficulty coefficient

The quality of words depends on the texture of lines. For example, many people imitate or even fake, but experts can see it at a glance. Especially his thin lines, no one can imitate them exactly, because it is difficult to write. Whether a word is wonderful or not depends on whether there are "words". Every word has words, just like a poem has poetic eyes. "eyesight" lies in that little change.

1 is wide enough to walk, so it's tight. For example, the word "Jiang" enlarges the word "inch" and regards "water" as the left dense and the right sparse. That's it.

2 the opening of external space. The font is open and open, and the words should be let go, not loose, but an opening in compactness.

3 side changes. The sides and joints are well done.

4. Changes in words and phrases. A lot of times, it will be very simple without things swinging from side to side.

Form and color are important. Form and color are like a person wearing clothes, and good clothes can make up for physical defects. The body defect may not be changed in ten or eight years, but you can choose a suit to make up for it.

Fourth, shape recognition.

Calligraphy is the art of line image, and "shape" has four elements. If you get the "four elements", you will enter the first place.

The format of the day. Calligraphy is the most classic in the form of banners, nave, horizontal curtains, plaques, squares, sectors, couplets, letters, hand scrolls, pages and paintings.

Second, writing. Calligraphy styles are seal script, official script, regular script, running script, cursive script, Wei Ti, Cao Zhang and running script.

Three colors. The combination of white paper, ink and red seal is the most attractive color in calligraphy.

Four-day composition. A complete calligraphy work consists of three parts: text, inscription and seal.

V. Reward quality

Calligraphy is different from writing. Calligraphy should pay attention to "statutes", and "laws" can be "beautiful in quality". There are four "laws". If you get the "Four Laws", you will enter the second world.

Yi fa characters are the basis of calligraphy. Chinese characters are formed by stippling, which should be "balanced and symmetrical, harmonious in contrast, appropriate in primary and secondary, moderate in density, diverse and unified."

Second, the brushwork. The expensive pen varies from body to body, and it is solid and rich; The middle side (front side) is interchanged, and the method is active; The pen is vigorous and penetrates the back of the paper.

Three rules and regulations. Composition is the "white cloth" of the whole calligraphy work. It pays attention to the continuous strokes between words and lines, with smooth pulse and clear rhythm. If it is like "flowing clouds and flowing water", it means that "the sparse place can go quickly, the dense place can't leak air, the white place is black, and the strange place is out".

Fourth, the ink method. Ink has six colors, namely "thick, light, dry, wet, dry and moist". If we can "moisten things with dryness, we must be thick and dry", then we can "moisten things silently, be happy", "be colorful" and "write beautiful songs, talk and laugh with ink"

Sixth, send love.

"A book is like a book, like its knowledge, like its talent, like its ambition. In short, I just like someone "(Liu Xizai). The purpose of calligraphy is to "express one's feelings". The highest realm of calligraphy art is also the abstract embodiment and revelation of human spirit and human temperament.

Appreciating calligraphy is not only about the depth of skills, exquisite painting and composition, but also about the author's spirit, mind and temperament. Therefore, the highest level of calligraphy appreciation is "dialogue and communication" with calligraphers through calligraphy works. To appreciate this realm, the appreciator needs to see wisdom and nature and understand the wonderful principles of calligraphy, such as "dharma", "artistic conception" and "temperament".
