First of all, briefly introduce the eight-character method:
The eight-character method is the rule of China's calligraphy. Taking the eight-stroke sequence of the word "Yong" as an example, this paper expounds the method of writing in block letters: the point is the side, the side front is steep, and the strokes are unfolded enough to close the front; Cross for fun, against the front of the paper, slowly rushing back, not flat with the front; Straight pen is an effort, not too straight. Too straight will be stiff and weak, but it must be straight and look at the curve; The hook is a pin (t √), and the front end of the pen is raised to concentrate the force on the nib; Raising the horizontal is the strategy, the stroke is straight, and the effective force is at the end of the stroke; The dragon left its prey. Starting from the straight stroke, the front is slightly fat, and the force is to be sent; Short skimming is pecking, writing left, fast and sharp; Writing is true (philosophy), falling lightly against the trend, slowing down the front, and focusing on subtlety. Legend has it that it was created by Zhi Yong in Sui Dynasty or Wang Xizhi in Eastern Jin Dynasty or Zhang Xu in Tang Dynasty. Because this is the basic rule of writing regular script, later generations also call these eight methods calligraphy.
Two, eight methods of permanent Chinese characters:
The eight strokes of the word "Yong" are actually the eight strokes of the word "Yong", which represent the general strokes in China's calligraphy, namely "side, joy, anger, gas, strategy, grazing, pecking and tearing", which is more clear in Liu Zongyuan's book "An Introduction to China Calligraphy".
The point (1) is an edge (such as the upside-down edge of a bird); Eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words, eight words and eight words.
③ Vertical crossbow (force also); (4) Hook is hook (jumping posture, jumping together);
(5) make strategies (such as riding a horse with a whip);
(6) skimming (for example, skimming with a grid);
(7) pecking if the head is short (such as pecking by birds);
(8) Another slap in the face (another slap in the face, another crack in the face, another pen opening).
1. point method
Point, that is, "side". When writing, you need to turn the pen tip sideways, hence the name. Point is the root of Chinese characters, and strokes such as horizontal, vertical, skimming and pressing all start from one point.
Points include upper point, lower point, left point, right point, upper left point, upper right point, lower left point and lower right point.
Selection method
A pick shaped like an obtuse triangle. The writing of "strategy" and "peck" is similar to the picking method.
There are up, down, left, right, left, right, left, left, left, left, right and so on.
3. Horizontal method
Horizontal, that is, "le". The so-called "le" originally means that the end of the reins is held on the horse's mouth, uneven and similar in shape. When writing, you need to hold the pen tip when you draw the pen horizontally, hence the name.
There are horizontal, concave, convex, thick waist, thin waist, left pointed cross and right pointed cross.
4. Vertical method
Vertical, that is, "anger." When writing, the pen tip is like archery with a bow, hence the name.
There are vertical, right arc vertical, left arc vertical, thin waist vertical, thick waist vertical, upper pointed vertical, lower pointed vertical and so on.
Step 5 skim the floating foam
Skim, that is, "skim" The general habit is called "skimming"
There are straight, curved, thin waist, thick waist, elbow, bent tail and so on.
6. Pressing method
, that is, "qi". When writing, it is like a tortuous water wave.
There are straight strokes, arc strokes, pointed strokes, square strokes, long strokes and short strokes.
7. Omitting
Jue, the stroke shape is like a person bending over, hence the name. The ancients also called it "hook method".
There are straight syncope, arc syncope, high syncope, short syncope and oblique syncope.
Step 8 hook
Hook and stroke "like a crescent moon in the sky". Similar to the end of "". The ancients also called it "Gofa".
Hooks include straight hooks, arc hooks, high hooks, short hooks and oblique hooks.
Three. The explanation of the inventor of the eight-character method is as follows:
1, Cui, Zhong You and Wang Xizhi said.
Zhang Huaiguan's Forbidden Classics in Yutang in the Tang Dynasty: "The Eight Laws began in Lishu, and Cui was below Zhong Wang in the later Han Dynasty. The eight-character teaching should be ten thousand words. " "Generally speaking, brushwork, stippling eight types, prepared in the word' forever'". (The official script here is not official script, but regular script, which was called official script in the Tang Dynasty and Wang Xizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now what we think of as official script was called eight points at that time. )
Ethan Puguang's Eight Methods of Anxue: "In the following dynasties, calligraphers were skilled in brushwork. Its famous figures, such as Zhong You and Wang Xizhi in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Ou (), Yu (Shinan), Liu (Gongquan) and Yan (Zhenqing) in Tang Dynasty also have books, which have been circulated to this day, but the original does not exist, but the word "forever" is Ba Fa, * * Samadha Song.
"Fa Shu Yuan": "Wang Yi wrote a short book and attacked the' Yong' eight laws for fifteen years. With his eight laws, he can understand everything."
2. Zhiyong said
Song Chen Si's "Linglong Flower Book": "Sui monks are wise and brave, and they aim at it. They help the Mi language to supervise the southern part of the world, and they teach themselves extensively. "
3. Zhang Xu said
In Song Dynasty, Zhu's Mo Chi Pian and Zhang Xu's Biography of the Eight Laws of Yongzi are the same as the Six Eight Laws and Eight Laws.
"Calligraphy Samadhi" in Feng Wu's Original Calligraphy in Qing Dynasty said: "All knowledge is needed. If the net is in the outline, it will be orderly. The word' forever' is also the procedure of many words. Knowing this, there must be a thousand words. "
