The following analyzes the artistic characteristics of the four poems from four aspects: brushwork, typography, composition and artistic style.
1. Features of brushwork
① Side Pen Center: This is the most fundamental content that Zhang Xu inherited from Wei and Jin Dynasties. (2) Striving for smoothness in astringency: when you open four ancient poems, the first thing you see is the unrestrained smoothness. But a closer look at each stroke shows that many of them are late and have lost their dignity. ④ Bold and continuous: This is the most obvious feature that distinguishes Zhang Xu's Wild Grass from its predecessors.
2. Character characteristics
Word method can be simply interpreted as suffix method. Chinese characters have been standardized and changed since ancient times. There are two points in the specification: first, from the beginning of the generation of characters, the original glyph of each character is composed of strokes, pictographs and freehand brushwork, which is the basis of word-making for more than 2,000 years. Secondly, in the process of font evolution, influenced by writing habits and aesthetic pursuit, conventional font changes have been formed. These often require memory.
Change is the reason for the formation of calligrapher's creative style. Changes have taken place on the basis of norms, for example, some people mainly write flat characters, while others mainly write long characters; Some people like to write succinctly, while others like to write well. Some people are used to taking advantage of the upper right, while others are inclined to the lower right. As for the study of calligraphy, the four posts of ancient poetry, as works of weeds, are very representative.
① Making good use of grass: The characteristics of making good use of grass are the same as those of crazy cursive writers, but it is in Zhang Xu? Above many wild grass writers in ancient and modern times.
② The structure is high and ancient: Zhang Xu's writing achievement is amazing. Although he can freely express his feelings in his writing, we carefully analyze every word in the four ancient poems, which are different from the ancient writing methods.
3 font width: wide will be atmospheric, wide will be vigorous. The ancients called high-level calligraphy works "one product", and the characters symbolizing Wei and Jin Dynasties were called "Jinyun", and the core content of Jinyun was "elegance". What is escape? Escape is freedom, indifference, chic and casual. Without broadness, there is no "escape". Zhang Xu got to the root of the problem.
④ Shape according to the situation: Of the four ancient poems, strictly following the ancient method is the basis of Zhang Xu's writing, and shape according to the situation is also an important feature. Therefore, the formation of the situation has become an important feature of the four posts of ancient poetry.
3. Composition characteristics
(1) natural density, not deliberately carved.
② Different regions and paragraphs have different styles and rhythms.
③ Close the row spacing to realize "staggered ventilation".
(4) Up and down strewn at random, lively atmosphere.
4. Style characteristics
"Beautiful weather" is the greatest feature of the four-character poem style of ancient poetry.
What is "positive"? The important meaning of "positive" is strict statutes. In the past, we used another word to describe "sunny weather", which was called "temple weather". "Temple" represents the royal family and the country. Things that can represent the country or have a national level must have strict norms and strict laws to spread around the world.
Although Four Ancient Poems is a wild cursive work, it strictly abides by the traditional formation method, and comes down in one continuous line with the orthodox cursive script in Wei and Jin Dynasties in brushwork and calligraphy. Moreover, in terms of style, it is crazy but not wild, crazy but not strange, and insists on seeking change in the middle, thus creating its own lofty quality characterized by good weather. For reference.
