The eight strokes of the word "Yong" are actually the eight strokes of the word "Yong", which represent the general strokes in China's calligraphy, namely "side, music, crossbow, fork, strategy, grazing, pecking and licking", which is more clear in Liu Zongyuan's book "An Introduction to China Calligraphy".
1. point method
Point, that is, "side". When writing, you need to turn the pen tip sideways, hence the name. Point is the root of Chinese characters, and strokes such as horizontal, vertical, skimming and pressing all start from one point.
Points include upper point, lower point, left point, right point, upper left point, upper right point, lower left point and lower right point.
Selection method
A pick shaped like an obtuse triangle. The writing of "strategy" and "peck" is similar to the picking method.
There are up, down, left, right, left, right, left, left, left, left, right and so on.
3. Horizontal method
Horizontal, that is, "le". The so-called "le" originally means that the end of the reins is held on the horse's mouth, uneven and similar in shape. When writing, you need to hold the pen tip when you draw the pen horizontally, hence the name.
There are horizontal, concave, convex, thick waist, thin waist, left pointed cross and right pointed cross.
4. Vertical method
Vertical, that is, "crossbow". When writing, the pen tip is like archery with a bow, hence the name.
There are vertical, right arc vertical, left arc vertical, thin waist vertical, thick waist vertical, upper pointed vertical, lower pointed vertical and so on.
Step 5 skim the floating foam
Skim, that is, "skim" The general habit is called "skimming"
There are straight, curved, thin waist, thick waist, elbow, bent tail and so on.
6. Pressing method
, that is, "qi". When writing, it is like a tortuous water wave.
There are straight strokes, arc strokes, pointed strokes, square strokes, long strokes and short strokes.
7. Omitting
Jue, the stroke shape is like a person bending over, hence the name. The ancients also called it "hook method".
There are straight syncope, arc syncope, high syncope, short syncope and oblique syncope.
Step 8 hook
Hook and stroke "like a crescent moon in the sky". Similar to the end of "". The ancients also called it "Gofa".
Hooks include straight hooks, arc hooks, high hooks, short hooks and oblique hooks.
otherwise
Point to the side, eg under the inverted side of a bird.
Side means inclined, and the point should be inclined, such as a huge stone standing on its side, which is steep and powerful. If you point to lie flat or stand upright, you will be stupid and lose your strength. The word "Yong" is closed on the front, in order to take care of the horizontal painting below.
Cross the reins, eg on a horse.
Take uphill, if the rider tightens the reins, the force is inward and straight through the crossbow (vertical). If you drag the pen horizontally or obliquely downward, it will run out. Put pen to paper against the front, slow down, hurry up, and keep the trend of "taking a step back and getting what you want". It is not advisable to slide along the front to avoid light floating stagnation.
Vertical crossbow (slave)
Anger is powerful, and vertical painting takes the trend of straight inside and curved outside, like a crossbow standing upright, which is curved but contains infinite power. Therefore, vertical painting should not be too straight, and it must conform to the overall situation of fonts. Only when it is straight in music can it move forward. Too straight as dead wood, though straight and weak.
A hook is a hook (like jumping and jumping at the same time)
When doing hook, you should crouch in front to gain motivation, then quickly pick up the pen and twist the front, so that you can come out from the front and concentrate on the nib. If you want to jump, you need to squat first and then jump suddenly. The front is uneven, in order to echo the raiders (pick) brush.
Take the initiative, eg whip a horse.
The original meaning of policy is whip, which means cooperation here. Pick painting is mostly used on the left side of the word, and its potential is inclined to the right and up, which is in harmony with the stippling on the right, forming an arch-shaped situation. Yongzi's plane is slightly flat, mainly with the peck on the right (horizontal left). Although the two strokes are not randomly symmetrical, their hearts are interlinked and corresponding. The potential is slightly higher, the strength is in the pen, and the strength is in the front.
Skim for the sake of skimming (skimming means skimming)
Such as hair swept by the grate, such as swallows swept under the eaves. It is said that writing a picture of prey should be like brushing the surface of an object with your hands. Although the pen is gradually accelerated, the front is flexible and sharp, taking its natural and neat posture, but the force should be sent to the end, otherwise it will float.
A short head is a peck (as of a bird).
It is said that horizontal writing should be like a bird pecking. This pen is quick and sharp. Write left, sharp and oblique, and win with light strength
It means to write.
There are two meanings here: first, it refers to the role of painting in font structure, and the original meaning of painting refers to dismemberment and sacrifice, which means disintegration and cracking. The si paintings in regular script are inherited from the tide of official script, which just dissolves the bending and winding forms of Xiao Zhuan and makes the font open to the outside world. Therefore, official script is also called Zishu, and si in regular script also plays this role. Although the regular script strokes are connected, they stretch outward, making the font develop comfortably and widely. The second is to say that this should be strong, sharp and imposing. The original meaning of painting is dismemberment, and dismemberment must be split with a knife. Painting is cutting with a knife. When writing, you should go against the trend, fall lightly, slowly and gradually, and at the end, be calm and powerful, full of twists and turns, and the situation is natural.
It's quite good. I hope it will be adopted.
