Some people’s handwriting is beautiful but not bearable. In fact, words are like women. When we appreciate a work, it is like appreciating a woman. There are often three situations:
1. It looks good at first glance, but it cannot stand a closer look. ; (The calligraphy is good, but the stippling is not precise); 2. The effect is good at first glance, but upon closer inspection it is not bad; (The composition is average, but the stippling is exquisite); 3. The effect is good at first glance, but when you look closer and look carefully , Long-term viewing? It is indeed a good work, and the more you read it, the more interesting it becomes, and its connotation is very rich. (The breath is good, the composition is good, and the stippling is also exquisite).
So, are the "women" in your novels interesting? So, here comes the key!
1. Composition (clothing, grooming)
When appreciating a calligraphy work, from the aspect of "form and quality", the first element is composition, followed by knotting and brushwork ( stippling) analysis. Therefore, composition is also an important part of the art of calligraphy. The rules and regulations are like the design plan before building a building. If the plan is not up to standard, construction will not be possible. Therefore, before writing a work, you should first be familiar with the content of the work, and make a rough plan based on the number of words and the location of the signature, so that you can be confident.
Think about it, the author took anywhere from a few days to a few months to carefully create the work, but the judges only need 5 seconds to carefully analyze each work?
Under this mechanism, there is a phenomenon of making a fuss about the "rules and regulations". Including form, color, style, etc. There are those with six lines in small regular script that impress the judges with their kung fu; there are those that are painstakingly old-fashioned and attract the judges with their appearance; there are couplets with two feet and two feet that use large characters to gain momentum; there are various color combinations that attract the "lust" of the judges, etc., there are all kinds of surprises. It fully illustrates the role of composition in current calligraphy exhibitions. Of course, in the end, it is still to make the viewer "pleasant".
2. Knot (height, curve)
The quality of Knot can reveal an author’s modeling ability. The structure of each Chinese character has their general pattern, but there is no definite formula. On the basis of not violating the calligraphy, everyone can use their imagination to create wonderful structures.
The knot characters in calligraphy also have their own general artistic rules, such as the density contrast of pointillism, the combination of length and shortness, the contrast of thickness, the interplay of odd and positive, etc. A good knot is like the graceful movements in gymnastics. The close cooperation between two people in dance is full of fun and brings people unlimited wonderful enjoyment. "Gu" and "San" in "De Shi Tie", and 20 "Zhi" characters in "Lanting Preface". "Qing" and "Fang Qi" in "The Manuscript of Sacrifice to My Nephew".
3. Stippling (facial features, skin texture)
Stippling is the most basic element in calligraphy. It is impossible to write a good calligraphy work if you cannot write dot paintings well. (For example, materials for building buildings)
The ability to write dots well has a lot to do with the use of pens. Sophisticated, sophisticated, complete, varied, interesting, and energetic pointillism is based on relatively reasonable brush usage, scientific training, and proficiency. Exquisite pointillism also has a high appreciation value.
The ancients described dot painting as follows: 1. The dots are like falling rocks from a high mountain; 2. The horizontal lines are like clouds forming thousands of miles away, and the juxtaposition of several horizontal lines should be full of changes in strokes, back, length, etc.; 3. The vertical lines should be suspended. The difference between needles and hanging dew; 4. The continuous curves written in cursive script should be like century-old dead vines, vigorous and powerful; 5. The rounded lines should be like folded hairpin strands, round and elastic, etc.
Of course, the art of calligraphy, if it is purely about writing, will not be considered high quality. Calligraphy is always passed down from person to person, and most of the calligraphers handed down through the ages have also made achievements in other areas. For example, Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing were both generals; Su Dongpo was a great writer; Zhao Mengxi and Dong Qichang were both great calligraphers and painters; Wu Changshuo, Huang Binhong, and Qi Baishi were all masters of poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seals, etc. Therefore, appreciating a calligraphy work should also be connected with the author's basic situation.
In short, calligraphy appreciation is affected by many factors, the secrets of which cannot be explained clearly in a few words. It takes long-term observation, research, and practice to explore the three flavors. END?
