1, knot
Structure is also called "knot", "frame" and "structure". Refers to the arrangement and layout of each dot.
Chinese characters are forms and calligraphy is metaphysics, so structure is particularly important. Zhao Yuxi's Postscript to Lanting: "Calligraphy is based on the use of a pen and requires labor."
All kinds of fonts of Chinese characters are connected and matched with dots and strokes. The length, short, thick, thin, prone, upturned, contracted and stretched strokes, and the width, narrow, high, low, narrow and straight radicals constitute different forms of each character. In order to make the stroke matching of Chinese characters appropriate, appropriate and uniform, it is necessary to study its structure. "Learn the shelf first, and the ancients called it a knot; Learn to use a pen when the shelf is clear. You can see the stone tablet on the shelf, so you must use a pen to create it. In conclusion, Jin people use reason, Tang people use reason, and Song people are interested. "
2, brushwork
The method of writing and drawing with a pen. Calligraphy is expressed by lines. In order to enrich the line stippling of calligraphy and painting, we must first attach importance to writing and master the methods of emphasis, quickness, correctness and straightness in writing, which is called "brushwork".
Common brush strokes are middle, oblique, side, hidden front and exposed front.
Step 3 write a composition
Composition refers to the method of arranging and arranging the relationship between words and lines in the whole work. That is the "white cloth" of the whole work. Also known as "big rules". Traditionally, it is also called the arrangement of one-word stippling, and the relationship between one-word arrangement and numbers is "small chapter method"
The overall composition is white, so it is necessary to "look at the sparse place quickly, and the dense place is airtight. Always count white as black, and curiosity will come out." The secret of white cloth lies in "counting black with white", that is, when writing stippling lines, not only the color of lines is considered, but actually when black lines are on white paper, there are black and white, and the effect is different. The other is to pursue the change of white cloth: density, skew, straightness and Fiona Fang.
