1. Formal Beauty: China's calligraphy is based on the pen, and the change of shape is also produced under the action of the pen gesture, which is natural. Its basic style is harmonious and reasonable, the round pen is graceful and charming, the square bone is strong, the hidden front is implicit and the front is exposed. Different morphological changes can give viewers different artistic feelings.
2. Beauty of texture: "quality" refers to the texture, texture, weight, strength and literary talent of a painting. Textured stippling, meaning verve, rich and subtle. Although its surface is simple, there is no external decoration, but its interior is "hiding bones and tendons, containing literary quality", which is an inner profound beauty.
3. Beautiful rhythm: "Rhyme" contains a wide range of meanings. In pen and ink skills, it often indicates the rhythm of pen use and the change of ink color. When a calligrapher expresses his artistic conception with different rhythms of light and heavy Ji Xu, his works will inevitably produce a dynamic beauty. Different rhythms can produce different artistic effects, and slow rhythms can give people a leisurely, cautious and leisurely artistic feeling; Fast rhythm can give people a stimulating and exciting artistic feeling.
4. Beauty of power: No matter what style China's calligraphy art is, it must be backed by power. "Power" is the accumulation of an author's skill in long-term calligraphy practice and the embodiment of pen and ink skills. The beauty of a powerful work is precisely because it enables the viewer to appreciate the movement of life in this solidified rather than static glyph. Without pen power, you can't give full play to it.
5. Beautiful momentum: Although China's calligraphy art is a plastic art based on characters, the appearance of "shape" cannot be separated from "momentum". Military strategists attach importance to the situation, the boxer emphasizes momentum, the article emphasizes momentum, and calligraphy emphasizes brushwork. In pen and ink skills, it often represents the "ribs", "blood collaterals" and "qi activity" of words.
6. Structural beauty: The structure of a Chinese character is like a building, including aesthetics and mechanics. Different stippling forms and different combinations can produce different structures. The same word can show different gestures, some sparse, some tight, some stretching, some beautiful. The collocation of these structures can not be separated from strange and positive changes.
7. Beauty of composition: Composition, also known as "leaving white space", is a method to study the layout between words, lines and whole words. The first impression of watching a work is the artistic effect of the layout. Different layout is one of the important conditions to form different styles.
8. Artistic conception beauty: "Artistic conception" refers to the author's observation, thinking and experience of some phenomena in nature and life, as well as the skillful use of pen and ink skills, thus revealing his thoughts, emotions and artistic accomplishment in his works. It does not refer to a certain glyph or a specific stippling, but a spiritual realm that runs through the whole picture. The higher the artistic conception, the more it can show its beautiful charm.
9. Beauty of style: Beauty of style is the first condition to evaluate the art of calligraphy, and it is also an important symbol to distinguish "calligraphers" from "calligraphers". The emergence of style is not only related to the influence of teachers, family studies, the influence of contemporary famous artists and the traditional skills absorbed, but also closely related to the author's personality, temperament, courage, literary accomplishment, aesthetic taste, conception and even personality.
10, Natural Beauty: Natural beauty is the simplest formal beauty in China's calligraphy art, which runs through all aspects of calligraphy art and is a manifestation of the same beauty in calligraphy art. The works of natural beauty seem plain and simple, but they contain great inner beauty, which is extremely strange, exquisite, ingenious and beautiful.
Three elements of calligraphy expression
Exquisite dotted line is the basis of calligraphy expression. "Point" is the most basic unit of Chinese characters and the most basic technical element of China's calligraphy. No matter how long the line is and what the shape of the face is, the "visual narrative" of calligraphy must start from the "point". The different weights and orientations of "points" have produced all strokes and dotted lines in calligraphy, which constitutes the ever-changing artistic language "symphony" of "lyric calligraphy".
The second element of calligraphy is the knot, that is, the combination of points and lines of Chinese characters. Chinese characters are abstract organizations. In the world of calligraphy, there are endless structures of Chinese characters. Every posture shows a unique beauty.
The third element of calligraphy is the charm of pen and ink. The dotted line of calligraphy needs to create an "illusory" three-dimensional space on the two-dimensional plane of rice paper through special pen-lifting skills. The charm of calligraphy is such a beauty, such as smoke in the air and dew in the fog. Pen and ink style is the extension and transmission of the internal pattern, with charm, technology and spirit.
