The characteristics of regular script are as follows:
1. Light strokes:
When writing regular script, the strokes should be steady and slow, and the strokes should be neat and strong. Shu Liejun belongs to Xingkai, his writing style is light and convenient, and his lines pursue smooth and bright lines.
2. Smart stippling:
Written in regular script, the strokes are complete in shape, and the echoes between the stippling are implicit. The writing is regular script, the stipples are lively and connected, and the number of dynamic strokes such as dots, hooks, and picks is significantly increased.
3. Variable fonts:
The fonts of regular script characters are straight and dignified, neat and even throughout the text, and complement each other. The glyphs of Xingkai characters are varied and vary in size throughout the text. Right and wrong, the same character can be written in multiple ways.
Qichao was a disciple of Nanhai Kang Youwei. He traveled from Kangxi at the age of nineteen. He liked to read "Yinghuan Zhilue" and had long wanted to travel to the five continents. When Li Huangpi was president, 30,000 yuan was allocated for him to travel to Switzerland.
At this time, Zhu Jiahua settled in Switzerland and hosted a banquet. He knew that Qichao did not like Western food and preferred local flavors. Unfortunately, there was no Chinese restaurant there, so his wife cooked fish, meat, and glutinous rice herself. Although there were only a few cabbages, Qi Chao ate them happily. The days were getting boring, so I found some foreign students to chat with, and sometimes played poker to entertain myself.
His calligraphy is elegant, especially regular script. Liuyang of Tang Dynasty gave him a chrysanthemum inkstone, and Taishi Jiang Jianxia engraved it on it. He was so popular in writing that he wrote many couplets and gave them to his friends as souvenirs. Later, the inkstone was lost, and he was greatly depressed.
In his later years, at Chen Shizeng's memorial service, he saw among the posthumous works on display a seal script couplet by Jiang Baishi, "The singing fan is light and the flying flowers are flying, the tall willows are hanging in the shade, and the spring is gradually drifting away from Tingzhou." "Green; painted radiators and bright mirrors, fragrant lotuses and falling powder, the heart of the waves is cold and silent." I deeply admired the beauty of its work. Affected by this, he also collected words into couplets, not keeping them secret and letting others pick them.
