Horizontal painting is a unique stroke in official script. Flying is often beautiful. There are two kinds of horizontal paintings in official script, one is horizontal and the other is wave horizontal. There are two kinds of square pens and round pens.
Balance. Refers to the horizontal shape, generally starting from the front, folding the pen in the middle, returning to the front or collecting the pen. There are convex, concave and basically flat shapes in the transverse and horizontal directions.
Wave cross. It is a kind of wave pen, indicating that the horizontal painting has a pitching state. Generally, pick up the pen and point it at the front, fold it and roll it back into a silkworm head, then pick up the pen and run, and the front is frustrated to form a dovetail. There is also the phenomenon that the silkworm head is small and the swallow tail is big. Generally, the wave cross should be thick and round, the silkworm head and dovetail should be full, and the cross should be slightly bent upward.
Vertical painting is just an ordinary stroke in official script, and the composition of seal script is very large, that is, most of them are round. Some with sharp vertical ends do not belong to regular script hanging needles, and naturally close when writing. Li Shu's vertical pen is generally facing the front and moving slowly in the middle, and the hidden front closes the pen. There are three forms of vertical painting in official script: middle vertical, left vertical and right vertical. And Fang Bi, who started writing from the front, cut to the upper left corner and folded the pen. Although vertical painting is not as distinctive as wave painting in official script, it should not be underestimated when writing.
Substituting firmness for skimming: It is worth noting that there are many phenomena of substituting verticality for skimming in official script. It is mainly manifested in the short strokes of writing regular script, such as the seventh stroke of "or", the eighth stroke of "Wei" and the eighth stroke of "Xian".
