How to innovate the creation of official script

Specifically, the variation of contemporary official script creation mainly includes five aspects: the combination of seal script and official script, the strange shape, the integration of cursive script, the interest in epigraphy and the confusion of inscriptions. The following is an analysis based on calligraphers and works. 1, the combination of seal script and official script We know that official script is developed and changed on the basis of seal script, so it is often said that "there is no distinction between seal script and official script". Contemporary calligraphers often use the brushwork of seal script and the structure of official script for creative exploration, which has achieved artistic effects that are not available in the usual state and increased unexpected aesthetic interest. The combination of seal script and seal script refers to the combination of seal script and seal script, which is characterized by rounded lines and centered use. Structurally, there are fewer squares and more circles. Calligraphers integrate the rigorous structure and rounded lines of seal script into official script, which downplays the characteristics of official script wave after wave, as if returning to the transition stage from official script to official script, and even some words are written entirely in seal script, and some words have both the meaning of seal script and official script. Although it is a mixture of seal script and official script, it is harmonious and beautiful on the whole. The most typical representative of contemporary calligrapher's combination of seal and kai is the late famous calligrapher Mr. Lu, who set a model for contemporary calligraphy and became a pioneer in the variation and innovation of contemporary official script. After Mr. Lu, middle-aged calligraphers in Shaanxi made a new exploration on the combination of seal script and official script, calling their books "five and a half books", that is, half of seal script and official script, which is quite distinctive. 2. The unique book has outstanding features in form, long and powerful, wide and flat, and full of charm. The style of traditional official script tends to be flat, while the style of contemporary official script works tends to be vertical, which is a variation method that contemporary official script creation pays special attention to, but it does the opposite and achieves special modeling effect. Many contemporary official script works adopt vertical posture in modeling, ignoring the remarkable characteristics of traditional official script, but still follow the style characteristics of official script, and combine horizontally and vertically according to the needs of font, which greatly enriches the changes of official script works and enhances the sense of space and formal beauty of the works. Outstanding calligraphers include He from Sichuan, He from Henan and Ou from Guangdong. The similarity between them lies in that they take Fachet's works of Han tablet and how to combine the two stones (ode to Shimen and inscription on Shimen), which are rich in penmanship; And Europe both adopted the stone carving of the praise and oblique road in Thirteen Products of Han and Wei Dynasties, which is vertical in shape, rich in brushwork and peculiar in shape. 3. The development of each font is based on practical characters, and official script is no exception. When people pursue convenience in practical writing, they will add some cursive strokes. Among contemporary calligraphers, Mr. Zhang Hai is famous for being good at Cao Li. His early official script was based on Han Li, pursuing more exquisiteness, and adopted such methods as "one shadow cup" and "ode to Longshan". Later, he devoted himself to the study of silk scripts and bamboo slips in Han Dynasty, and combined them with cursive script to form the traditional Han Li, which opened up a new writing method of official script-Cao Li, which fully reflected the spiritual beauty of calligraphers. From Mr. Zhang Hai's official script works, we can see that it is obviously different from Han Li's traditional stable and solemn style. First of all, pens are extremely versatile. The thickness of lines in the works changes obviously, and cursive brushstrokes can be seen everywhere. Even some characters like "Ru" use Wei Bei's brush strokes at the turning point of the word "Kou" on the right, and a variety of brush strokes are integrated into a work, which makes the whole work full of spirituality. 4. Interest in epigraphy Contemporary calligraphers pursue interest in epigraphy in the creation of seal script and official script, which is a continuation of the exploration made by calligraphers since the Qing Dynasty. Calligraphers in Qing Dynasty made outstanding contributions in this respect and directly influenced the development of contemporary official script. Adding some golden stone flavor to the official script works can increase the visual impact of the works, make the original simple and heavy official script more vast and rich, and make the works look more textured. It is not easy to pursue the interest of ancient calligraphy for bronze wares and stone carvings on soft-wool cone rice paper. However, contemporary calligraphers have made useful explorations in this respect and achieved success. On the one hand, there are representatives such as the late famous calligrapher Chen Shaomo from Shaanxi, the calligrapher Sun Qifeng from Tianjin, Xia Xiangping from Beijing and Zhang Sen from Shanghai. Mr. Chen Shaomo takes what is official script, makes good use of chicken feathers as official script, combines official script with official script, and mixes cursive script. His pen is very rich, interesting and unique. 5. Inscriptions and bamboo slips are mixed in official script works, which is another feature of the development and change of contemporary official script. Bamboo slips and silks are valuable calligraphy resources for the development and creation of official script, and also the fastest-growing carrier of official script. Many calligraphers devote themselves to the study of bamboo slips and silk books and seek ways to innovate official books. At present, Zhang Jihe Liu Wenhua, a young calligrapher who integrated bamboo and silk into official script, has his own style and personality, and the bamboo and silk in Zhang Ji's works is more meaningful. When he first started studying official script, he devoted himself to the study of official script such as Li Bei, Li Bei, and later became fascinated with the vigorous and changeable official script stone carvings such as Qin and Shimen Fu. In the process of exploration, he absorbed more elements from the bamboo slips and silks, thus forming the official script tone of Han Li's combination of bamboo slips and silks, which is full of strength, strength and beauty, and also integrates the simplicity and simplicity of Han slips into it, blending the statutes of the tablets and the meanings of the slips together, so that his official script works not only express the progress with the times, but also greatly change people's aesthetic consciousness and taste. For the appreciation and creation of official script, people are no longer satisfied with the simple and formal art form of traditional Han Li, but more absorb the essence from the early stage of official script development, because at this stage, the changes of official script are particularly rich. If the development of ancient official script is summarized as first changing and then standardizing, then contemporary official script is first standardizing and then changing. The rich creative methods commonly used in these innovative official scripts are not imaginary, but closely related to the origin of traditional official scripts. The origin of official script determines the indivisibility of official script. Lishu was born in the warring States period, which was formed by the development and change of seal script. The pre-Qin period is the transition period from seal script to official script, and the speed of official script with bamboo slips is much faster than that of official script with stone carvings. Bamboo slips and silk books are mostly common words and customs, and are less bound by statutes. Therefore, in the aesthetic era of pursuing individuality, bamboo and silk have become a treasure house for many calligraphers to learn from. Practicality is an important factor in the evolution of calligraphy since ancient times. In contemporary times, although the practicality of calligraphy is getting smaller and smaller and the artistry is increasing, it is an inevitable law of its development to facilitate writing. Therefore, it is also in line with the development law of calligraphy and people's aesthetic trend to integrate cursive brushwork into more standardized official script. In a word, the successful means and methods of contemporary official script creation are all the results of inheriting the tradition, making full use of various elements and integrating them to show the spirituality of calligraphers.
