The external formal beauty of calligraphy comes from the block structure of Chinese characters interspersed with stippling. After many times of evolution, five fonts have been formed, namely, seal, department, grass, line and kai, each of which has the characteristics of formal beauty. Seal script is a unified line organization, and its structure is similar to pattern. Li Shu's brushwork changed the softness of seal script into a horizontal and vertical square fold, and the structure seemed to be "worshipping Taiwan and emphasizing the universe".
Regular script strokes are the most abundant, elegant and dignified. Running script is also a side posture, but the strokes are linked to the belt, which has a smooth charm. The cursive script has continuous lines and turns, especially the wild grass, which abandons all external decorations and has a simple structure, which is relaxed and strange.
Learning methods of calligraphy:
Explain that the pen posture is a five-finger brushwork. First, hold the thumb and middle finger tightly, and the vacant position of the palm should be like a cube of about 4 cm. Then the ring finger and the little finger are naturally placed behind the brush, the body is straight, and the arm should keep a proper distance from the table.
Common methods: Cover the manuscript with thin paper (silk) and write or draw as it is. Painting in red is one of the methods.
