Generally speaking, the strokes in the middle house should be compact and cannot be relaxed, right?

correct

The technical term is called the tightening of the middle palace, and the font structure of the middle palace is not scattered.

Chinese characters in China are square characters. In a square, draw two lines horizontally and firmly at equal distance, and the pattern formed is called Jiugongge, and the middle is called Zhonggong. When writing, all strokes must be orderly condensed in the center of the word, that is, the middle palace of Jiugongge, which is called middle palace contraction in calligraphy art.

There are also some different understandings of the tightening of the middle palace. For example, some people say that the tightening of the palace refers to Liu Ti and Yan's style is the spread of the palace. Others say that not all words in the palace can be tightened, except some words. There is some truth in this statement.

The middle palace refers to the middle part of the nine palaces. If you draw two horizontal and vertical lines evenly in the grid, the top three grids are the top three and the bottom three grids are the bottom three. The one on the left is called Left Palace, and the one on the right is called Right Palace. Of course, the one in the middle is Zhonggong.

Mr. Qi Gong drew four corners of the middle palace with two closer horizontal lines and vertical lines to form four ABCD points to illustrate the importance of this position.

Simply put, the contraction of the middle palace means that the strokes of a word are close to the middle part, while the outside is open to all sides. Therefore, there is also a saying that "the middle palace converges and the outer painting stretches".

Mr. Qi Gong has the golden section. He said that the ratio of five to eight is used to verify that the center of the word is within the four points of ABCD.

On the other hand, the golden section is a point at the lower left of the center of a square.

For example, to write the word "Ye", the first oblique hook should be folded down first, and then the second vertical hook should be written on the dotted line of the vertical line. The last vertical hook should be drawn vertically close to the second pen, and the second pen should be equidistant on both sides, so that the middle palace will be tightened, otherwise the words will be too fat.

For example, for the word "hand", the two horizontal strokes after horizontal stroke should be above the dashed line crossed by Tian Zige, and the distance between the first three strokes should be equal, so that the handwriting looks comfortable.

For the word "Bo" with more strokes, the word "Yong" on the upper right side should not be too wide, and the vertical hook under the word "Cun" should also be slightly to the left, otherwise the word will be scattered if it is too wide, and it will tilt towards the center to achieve the purpose of tightening the middle palace.
