The format of the day. Calligraphy is the most classic in the form of banners, nave, horizontal curtains, plaques, squares, sectors, couplets, letters, hand scrolls, pages and paintings.
Second, writing. Calligraphy styles are seal script, official script, regular script, running script, cursive script, Wei Ti, Cao Zhang and running script.
Three colors. The combination of white paper, ink and red seal is the most attractive color in calligraphy.
Four-day composition. A complete calligraphy work consists of three parts: text, inscription and seal.
2. Evaluation, calligraphy is different from writing. Calligraphy should pay attention to "statutes", and "laws" can be "beautiful in quality". There are four "laws", and when you get the "four laws", you will enter the second realm.
Yi fa characters are the basis of calligraphy. Chinese characters are formed by stippling, which should be "balanced and symmetrical, harmonious in contrast, appropriate in primary and secondary, moderate in density, diverse and unified."
Second, the brushwork. The expensive pen varies from body to body, and it is solid and rich; The middle side (front side) is interchanged, and the method is active; The pen is vigorous and penetrates the back of the paper.
Three rules and regulations. Composition is the "white cloth" of the whole calligraphy work. It pays attention to the continuous strokes between words and lines, with smooth pulse and clear rhythm. If it is like "flowing clouds and flowing water", it means that "the sparse place can go quickly, the dense place can't leak air, the white place is black, and the strange place is out".
Fourth, the ink method. Ink has six colors, namely "thick, light, dry, wet, dry and moist". If we can "moisten things with dryness, we must be thick and dry", then we can "moisten things silently, be happy", "be colorful" and "write beautiful songs, talk and laugh with ink"
3, send love, "books are like people, learning is like learning, and it is like its ambition. In short, I just like someone "(Liu Xizai). The purpose of calligraphy is to "express one's feelings". The highest realm of calligraphy art is also the abstract embodiment and revelation of human spirit and human temperament.
Appreciating calligraphy is not only about the depth of skills, exquisite painting and composition, but also about the author's spirit, mind and temperament.
Therefore, the highest state of appreciating calligraphy is to communicate with calligraphers through calligraphy works, and to appreciate this state requires the appreciator to see wisdom and nature, and to understand the wonderful principles of calligraphy's appearance, artistic conception and temperament.
