Because the seal script writing method is used in regular script, Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy has become a model for the center's brushwork. His strokes are strong and powerful, and his writing power is contained. There are many hidden edges when starting the pen, and many returning edges when finishing the pen. In particular, there are far more round pens than square pens at the beginning of the pen. The horizontal painting is light and the vertical painting is heavy (the contrast between the thin horizontal and thick vertical paintings in "Yan Qin Li Stele" is very strong), but when the two vertical paintings appear at the same time, the left vertical painting is often as thin as the horizontal painting, and the two vertical paintings are often arranged facing each other (i.e. arching outward) ); The common way to lift a pen is to turn it round and straight down instead of folding the pen. Most of the turning pens are round on the outside and square on the inside. It is worth noting that when practicing facial expressions, you should not blindly emphasize its strong side and ignore the main characteristics of thick, strong and powerful pens used in facial expression stipple painting.
