How to study Li Yanqin Bay?

Yan Zhenqing (709-785 AD) was an outstanding calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Langya County (now the southeast of Shandong Province) people. When zong was named Lu Gong, it was called Gong in the world. Chu Suiliang, a beginner in calligraphy, studied under Zhang Xu at the age of 35. Block letters are dignified and dignified, and the momentum is open; The running script is rich and innocent. Change the square into a circle with a pen, abandon the official method and adopt the brushwork of seal grass. The ancient method has changed and created a new style. Yan Shu's achievements and influence in calligraphy are great, which have been circulated for thousands of years. Most of the famous calligraphers after Yan Zhenqing took the beautiful method. His inscriptions include many pagodas, Ma Gu Xian Tan Ji, Li Bei, Yan Bei, Yan Jia Miao Bei and so on. The running script includes "Competing for Seats", and the book traces include "Confessions from Books" and "Manuscripts for Sacrificing Nephews". These vast materials of Yan characters provide convenience for future generations to learn Yan calligraphy. This learning mode of regular script was edited by Li Yanqin Tablet, the representative work of Yan Ti Shu. The tablet of Yan Liqin was written by Yan Zhenqing at the age of sixty. The stippling of this tablet has its own unique writing method, which will be analyzed in the first chapter of this book. Here, let's briefly introduce the glyph and stippling characteristics of Yan Bei, as well as the essentials of writing this tablet, which is convenient for beginners to learn. Characteristics of the (1) shape: open and dignified posture, graceful and generous, vigorous and bold, open and open, appropriate density, uniform structure, good at avoiding, full mouth and opposite vertical direction. The glyph is generally rectangular, close to square. Second, the characteristics of stippling: (1) The strokes are vigorous, and there are many hidden fronts when writing, and many back fronts when closing. There are fewer prescription pens, more round pens and more oblique angles when drawing horizontally. (2) stippling pays attention to echo and coherence. In other words, the momentum between the end of the previous stroke and the beginning of the next stroke is coherent. (3) Two or more strokes of the same stippling in the same word will change; The same radicals meet and are different, which makes them vivid and colorful. (4) Horizontal painting is light and vertical painting is heavy, but when two vertical paintings coexist, the left vertical painting is often as thick as horizontal painting; The middle and vertical are extremely strong; Hanging needles often write four-fifths strokes and gradually close. The left and right vertical paintings are opposite, such as door furniture. (5) Most of the long horizontal lines move slightly to the upper right corner in an arch shape, and the strokes become thinner, and the pen is closed by stopping the pen. Although the strokes are oblique, they feel flat. (6) The stroke is a swallow-tailed silkworm head (the beginning of the stroke is like the round head of a silkworm; Dovetail? Fingers and pens are forked, like the tail of a swallow); Long strokes often form a ladle arc, with light strokes, thick tail and long tail. (7) The common way to turn a pen is to turn the circle straight down instead of holding a folding pen. Turning pens is mostly outside the circle. Such strokes cannot be written in curved shapes. (8) Mouth-shaped characters are written as wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the two sides are basically symmetrical. (9) The hook method is mostly beak-shaped. The bottom of the vertical hook is rounded, the upper part is straight, and the outer circle of the hook is straight inside and inclined outside. (10) The four points of the fire symbol point, some are left and right oblique points, and some are on the left of the first point. Turn right at three o'clock. Generally, the middle two points are slightly thinner and the left and right two points are thicker. (2) the essentials of temporary learning. Every word and stroke of "Li Yanqin Monument" is vigorous and powerful, which can be described as a vigorous stroke. When writing, be sure to let your wrists and elbows hang down on the table. The wrist and elbow can be high or low from the table, just sit and write, and the elbow can be one or two centimeters from the desktop. Elbows leave the table and wrists naturally droop. But it should be noted that the body can't bend over and shoulders can't shrug. In short, sit naturally and write comfortably and conveniently. Wrist and elbow are hung on the desktop, so that you can naturally apply force to the nib when holding the pen. Beginners, hanging their wrists and elbows to practice writing, their hands will tremble, they can't control writing, and the written words will not be satisfactory; But as long as you stick to it for a while, you will get used to it. This is a written basic skill, and you can't relax. The stippling of "Li Yanqin Cup" starts with a round pen. A round pen should start with a hidden pen tip: the pen tip touches the paper and carries the pen in the opposite direction of stippling, and then the pen tip follows the direction of stippling. In other words, if you want to go down first, you want to go right first. When collecting the pen, the pen tip is sent back to the stippling place along the original road, that is, the pen tip is collected. There are many kinds of brushwork of Li Yanqin Monument, such as vertical pen (such as the moon, the pen used), oblique pen (such as the big pen and the big pen) and flat pen (such as the heavy pen and the thousand pen), all of which need wrist force to send the pen tip to the pen end, so as to achieve pen force. The stippling of Li Yanqin Cup, from pressing to lifting, from mentioning pressing, is very natural, with almost no abrupt ups and downs, and even the folds are written in secret. To practice painting well, you should also take care of your pen. To avoid using a thin pen, you must pay more attention to practicing returning to the front to collect the pen. Even if it is? Skimming, squeezing, lifting, etc. As long as you don't need to echo the next stroke, you must do it in the air. Never float out of control. Yan Zi's stippling is strong and robust, and quite vigorous. If we only emphasize its thick side and write it dully and bloated, it will damage the characteristics of Yan characters.
