Calligraphy, the structure of words is always difficult to master. How to practice?

When we see a handsome boy and a beautiful woman in the street, we always think that this handsome boy has exquisite facial features! What a beautiful figure this beautiful woman has! This also indirectly illustrates the importance of structure. Whenever we appreciate the quality of a calligraphy and painting, the first thing we see is the structural layout of the words. Today, Ziziphus jujuba Jun will share with you some tips on calligraphy structure skills.

I. Proportional collocation of upper and lower structures

The ancients had a lot of mature experience in the proportion of upper and lower structures. For example, Huang Ziyuan said in his "92 Questions on Frame Structure": "He who covers the sky draws everything under it; Those who carry the earth, all the pictures are on the table. Those who occupy the upper position, listen to their width; If you occupy a lower position, let it be wide. " It not only provides an excellent example for us to learn from Tang Kai, but also provides a very rare reference for us to learn from Wei Bei. There are nine forms of the proportion of upper and lower structures, namely, upper cover and lower cover, upper and lower joint, upper download, upper dense and lower sparse, upper sparse and lower dense, upper wide and lower narrow, upper narrow and lower wide, upper small and lower large, and upper small and lower small. We must conceive what form to take according to the number of strokes and the structure of prefix and suffix. But no matter which form is adopted, we should follow the principle of uneven levels and not be too neat.

The second is the proportion of the upper, middle and lower structures.

On the proportional collocation of upper, middle and lower structures, predecessors have given us a lot of useful enlightenment. For example, Huang Ziyuan said in the 92 Law of Frame Structure Overview: "Triple, the head and tail expansion space should still stop evenly." That is to say, the triple structure of the upper, middle and lower parts should be shortened at the same time when writing, so that all parts can be kept very uniform and the positions are roughly equal, and the whole word will not be too long. In addition, in order to make the upper, middle and lower structure not too rigid, some strokes must be appropriately extended or shortened, so that the whole becomes patchy. For example, if the strokes on the top are lengthened, the top will be wider and the middle will be narrower. Stretching strokes in the middle become wide in the middle and narrow up and down; Stretching the strokes below will widen the bottom and narrow the top. Of course, which part of the stroke should be lengthened or shortened depends on the specific structure of the characters, and it is not decided at will.

3. Proportional collocation of left and right structures

A word composed of left and right monomers is called left and right structure, which is the most common form of Chinese characters. Therefore, the ancients had the best understanding of this form. For example, Huang Ziyuan said in the Abstraction 92 Law of Frame Structure. "Left straight right left should be left and right." That is to say, the left side is a single or double vertical painting, and the right side is dominated by skimming. The left side should converge and the right side should expand. He added:? "The small one on the left is above, and the small one on the right is below." That is to say, in the left-right structure, the left side is the small monomer next to the word mouth and the word mountain, so the small monomer on the left side should be aligned with the monomer on the right; If the right side is a small cell next to the word mouth and the word field, then the small cell on the right side should be aligned with the lower side of the left cell. In short, the left and right structures of words should be close to the middle, and attention should be paid to the interpenetration, echo and displacement between strokes, and they must not be crowded together.

Fourth, the left, middle and right structure

A word composed of left, middle and right monomers is called left, middle and right structure, which is not common in Chinese characters. However, Huang Ziyuan described it in more detail in "The 92 Laws on the Frame Structure of Regular Script":? "Three in one right in the middle"? (such as the word "imperial") "It is better to control the occupiers"? (such as "Yan"),? The middle passenger is the only one? (such as the word "throw"). In other words, the proportion of the three parts must be reasonably distributed according to their different structures, some should be positive, some should be small, and some should be large. However, whether it is big or small, the general principle is that the three monomers must be wide side by side, so the three parts should be appropriately reduced so that the whole is not too wide.

A little knowledge about font structure skills is shared here today. I don't know if you have gained anything. In this era of fragmentation and entertainment, how long has it been since you charged yourself properly? Ziziphus jujuba online tip: study every day 1 hour, eat less 10 years.
