Question 1: Is there anyone who knows calligraphy? I know some calligraphy, but I'm not good at it.
Question 2: Why do Chinese characters produce calligraphy? Yes.
Calligraphy, also known as "Chinese calligraphy", is a traditional art unique to China.
The so-called calligraphy fonts are the classification of calligraphy styles. Traditionally, Chinese calligraphy fonts are roughly divided into five major calligraphy fonts: seal script, official script, cursive script, running script and regular script. However, each major category is divided into several smaller categories. For example, seal script is divided into large seal script and small seal script, regular script is divided into Wei stele and Tang Kai script, and there are also two king styles and thin gold styles.
Calligraphy classification:
1. Calligraphy fonts of seal script
The so-called seal script is actually a seal script, which is an official letter and is a standardized official document. font. According to literature records, there was no special name for Chinese calligraphy before Qin, and Xiaozhuan gradually evolved from the Qin characters in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
2. Calligraphy fonts of official script
Although Xiaozhuan is a relatively neat rectangle with a structure composed of evenly rounded lines, it is quite inconvenient to write and the glyphs are complicated. Due to various Therefore, a new calligraphy font quickly appeared among the people. The dignified, neat, rounded and curved lines of Xiaozhuan were written with square folds. This font was said to be more popular among the lower-class officials, craftsmen, and slaves at that time. , so it is called official script.
3. Calligraphy fonts in cursive script:
Cursive script is a font that is written hastily and quickly. Cursive script is a simple font that assists official script. It is mainly used for drafting manuscripts and correspondence. In the process of the formation of cursive script, official assistants and historians often needed to use drafting documents, which affected the spread of cursive script. After entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, after being processed by literati and calligraphers, cursive script had a relatively regular and strict form. It could be used in some official occasions and was called "Zhangcao". It has a bit of the flavor of official script and retains the provocative style of official script. And pen.
4. Calligraphy fonts in regular script:
Regular script is similar to official script in terms of calligraphy font structure, but regular script changes the writing method of official script strokes, and changes from flat official script to basic The square script appears on the top, which is the so-called "square script". Regular script is also called Zhengshu or Zhenshu, which shows that regular script is a formal script for people to learn and use.
5. Calligraphy fonts: running script:
Running script is a calligraphy font between regular script and cursive script. It is not as neat as regular script, nor as unrestrained as cursive script; if Regular script is like a person sitting, and cursive script is like a person running, so running script is like a person walking. Because running script is more casual than regular script, you can write faster, and it is not as sloppy as cursive script, so it is the most popular among people.
Question 3: What is the highest state of calligraphy? What is the highest state of calligraphy? It is "refinement of elegance and vulgarity". The evidence is? The calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, looks very good to people who do not know calligraphy, and people who know calligraphy also like it. Calligraphers with profound attainments will love it.
This is the so-called "refinement of elegance and vulgarity". Then how did Wang Xizhi express "refinement and appreciation of elegance and vulgarity"? What are its methods and standards of "elegance and vulgar appreciation"? And what impact does it have on the art of calligraphy? Wait for me to come.
"Elegant and Popular Appreciation", as the name suggests, means that both educated and knowledgeable refined scholars and uneducated and unlearned lay people can get a beautiful feeling when appreciating calligraphy works of art, so it is called this. Whose works are so capable? Can it meet
the needs of different people? And everyone applauded it? Reaching such a high level? Difficulties exist today. I don't know about other calligraphy arts, but I only know one person in calligraphy, and that is Mr. Wang Xizhi, who is called the sage of calligraphy. It is surprising that it is still so "popular" from more than a thousand years ago to today. From a popular perspective, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy should be the most popular among the popular, and has been popular from ancient times to today.
What made him reach such a high level of calligraphy art? The author believes that it is "the best appreciation of elegance and vulgarity". There are three reasons: good-looking, layered and timeless, all of which are indispensable.
1. Good-looking.
The best calligraphy is good-looking and "appreciative to both elegance and vulgarity". Calligraphy is a visual art, and a good calligraphy work must first look good. Just like a song, it must first have a good melody and sound good. Only if it looks good and sounds good can it be appreciated and praised. Just like when watching TV, the first thing is the feeling. If it doesn't sound or look good, you immediately change the channel without thinking about the content behind it. This proves that when you first come into contact, you rely on impressions and feelings.
As long as the impression and feeling are good, you can proceed. This may be the most common way of life. Looks good, doesn't look good, sounds good, doesn't sound good, it's that simple, no reason is needed. For example: In life, parents judge the quality of their son's study based on his academic performance. This is a rigid indicator and does not require other reasons. Looking at Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, first of all, it is beautiful. Therefore, from the Jin Dynasty to today, the influence of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is unmatched by the great calligraphers of any era.
This permanent magnetism, tension, and penetrating power have deeply touched the hearts of people of all dynasties, generations, and levels, and are loved and favored by people. As time goes by, science and technology continue to develop, and Wang Xizhi's popularity continues to increase. This has to make us think deeply, what makes Wang Xizhi so charming? Has the style remained the same for more than a thousand years? Is it the admiration of the optimistic and noble people of all dynasties and generations? Or is it the love of the people? From my point of view, there are factors from all aspects, and the key is "good-looking". Just like sugar, it is sweet to everyone who eats it; just like meat, it is delicious to everyone who eats it.
2. Level.
The best calligraphy is layered, divided into inner and outer layers. As the saying goes: "You know how to look at the door, but you don't know how to see the bustle." What we are talking about is the level, the bustle is the surface layer, and the doorway is the inner layer. People at different levels see things differently. Different times and different cultural backgrounds have different understandings and understandings. For example, when ordinary people look at Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, what they see is the surface, with a well-proportioned structure and smooth lines, like a red dot among green leaves. It is a bright spot, attracting the eye and relying on intuitive feelings. Scholars and calligraphers also look good, but there is an additional layer of looking in. They not only see the outer layer, but more importantly, they see the inner layer and its connotation. Scholars and calligraphers
often appreciate the reasons for the formation of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, the characteristics of his style, his writing techniques, etc., and are often moved by the wonderfulness of his calligraphy. Just like that delicious candy, users only need to use it and know how sweet it is and how delicious it is; researchers are different. Not only do they know how sweet and delicious it is, but they also need to know why it is sweet? Why is it delicious? Know the molecular structure of sugar, etc. Therefore, in the eyes of calligraphers, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is superfluous if added, and insufficient if removed. Its
shape has reached such rigor, and its artistic conception has reached such depth and breadth that it has to be Make people feel surprised and admired. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has reached the highest level of unity of exterior and interior, elegance and popular appreciation.
3. Eternity.
The best calligraphy is eternal and is not restricted by time and space. It shines forever like the sun. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has been shining on the calligraphy world since the Jin Dynasty. At the same time, it has also created many calligraphy masters and formed a complete system. For example, Wang Xianzhi, Mi Fu, Zhao Songxue, Dong Qichang, Wang Duo, Liang Tongshu, Bai Jiao, etc. all came from Wang Xizhi's sect...gt;gt;
Question 4: Those who know calligraphy What kind of person would he be? People who first learn calligraphy may do it because of their parents, their own interest, or work needs.
After he has mastered calligraphy, he is likely to have become a person who pays attention to his own image, is more cultivated, tasteful, and insightful, and is relatively gentle and steady. He will also be relatively patient and easier to endure loneliness. Because of these habits Cultivation can be accomplished by practicing calligraphy, which is also a good means and activity for shaping a good character.
Question 5: Why does calligraphy give people a sense of beauty? The beauty of calligraphy is the enjoyment of abstract wisdom. 1. Vivid charm. The highest state of traditional Chinese art, especially calligraphy art, is vivid charm. To achieve vivid expression of charm, you must use bone techniques, which means you must write elastic, Strong lines. The symbols carved on pottery by the ancestors of primitive society have already taken the form of words, and the lines have already taken on the meaning of calligraphy, which is innocent and simple. Most of the oracle bone inscriptions in the Shang and Zhou dynasties were written with knives instead of pens. The lines are mainly square and straight, which are strong and bright (Figure 9-1). Bronze inscriptions are first made into clay molds and then cast in copper, which is called bronze inscriptions. The calligraphy lines of the bronze rubbings are strong and simple, and the structure is innocent and innocent. Although the calligraphy works of the Pre-Qin Dynasty were capable of carrying a tripod, they were all carved with tools, and the lines lacked vivid expression. The writing brush was widely used as a writing tool after the Qin and Han Dynasties. The writing brush is made of animal hair such as wolf hair. It has the characteristics of being sharp, round, neat and strong. When written properly, it can produce a very vivid expression of strength, elegance, elegance, dignity and fluidity. Moreover, calligraphy works are mostly written with ink, which has bright and calm colors. The rich changes in dry and wet shades will produce vivid ink charm, making the expression of calligraphy lines more vivid. Therefore, how to use pen and ink has become the basic skill and aesthetic key that calligraphers pursue throughout their lives. Ancient calligraphers summed up a set of principles and methods for using pen and ink. For example, when holding a pen, you need to carry your shoulders with your mind, your shoulders with your elbows, your wrists upright and your palms flat, all five fingers working together, and focusing on the tip of the pen. Only in this way can the written lines be strong and not slippery. When writing strokes, you should hide the head and protect the tail, go backwards in and out flatly, use the pen in the center, etc. In this way, the strokes can be even, solid and powerful without causing unnecessary corners, such as Chai Dan, Wasp's waist, Crane's knee and other diseased strokes. The ink should be thick but not stagnant, clear but not weak, and the ink should bleed into each other to achieve a vivid expression of the five colors of ink. In short, good calligraphy works are infused with the author's essence, spirit, and spirit, reflecting the vivid and superb artistic realm. Figure 9-1 Yangshao pottery engraved symbols 2. The unity of form and meaning Chinese characters are based on pictograms and meanings. Each individual character is a freehand plastic art work created by the ancients. For example: the word "德" written in gold inscriptions means morality and moral character. The ideographic character is formed by combining the pictographic heart and eye respectively. The straight line from the eye represents the line of sight. This character symbolizes the meaning of the word in a modeling way. Virtue is not external to people's behavioral norms, but the moral consciousness of the heart. The quality that can be felt in the honest gaze that comes from the eyes that are the windows to the soul. In this way, calligraphers will feel the aesthetic enjoyment of freehand painting when writing this character. Combining this kind of painting feeling and calligraphy modeling feeling is a complete calligraphy experience that combines form and meaning. 3. The structural beauty of dots, lines and surfaces. Chinese characters are shaped by dots and lines, and what is defined between the lines is the surface. The structural beauty of calligraphy composed of dots, lines and surfaces is an important aspect of the formal beauty of calligraphy. The structural beauty of calligraphy is similar to the beauty of architecture. There are many articles discussing calligraphy structure and character composition in ancient calligraphy treatises. The Sui Dynasty monk Zhiguo's "Ode to the Heart", the Tang Dynasty Ouyang's "The Thirty-six Methods of Knotting", the Ming Dynasty Li Chun's "The Eighty-Four Methods of the Structure of Large Characters", etc., among which Ouyang's "The Thirty-Six Methods of Knotting" Law has the greatest impact. He stipulated the reasonable principles for writing plainly according to the characteristics of regular script fonts, such as avoidance (avoiding the dense and leaving the sparse), Xiangyi (the mutual matching of combined characters), Chaoyi (the relationship between the radical and the main body), etc. However, the structural principles of calligraphy cannot regulate the practice of calligraphy. In their creation, ancient calligraphers had methods but were unable to do so, showing the structural beauty of calligraphy in various forms (Figure 9-2). Figure 9-2 For example, the word "山" in the calligrapher's pen shows structural beauty in different styles due to different images. The word "mountain" in the bronze inscription "Guishan Dun" is inseparable from the pictogram. It looks like three mountains standing side by side, simple and natural.
Zheng Daozhao of the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Tianzhu Mountain Cliff" has a mountain character, with the middle painting as the central axis, really like a pillar holding the sky, with the left and right verticals turning into two points, each riding down the horizontal end, like a seesaw, looking for balance Unbalanced, there is liveliness in stability. Taizong of the Tang Dynasty's "Jin Ci Inscription" Shanamp;...gt;gt;
Question 6: What does it mean to write a sentence of "meaning and ancient times" next to a calligraphy work? I guess, if "meaning" If "meaning" refers to the thoughts and emotions of the ancients when writing, it probably means that the calligrapher has reached a state of connection with the ancient calligrapher's mind when writing; if "meaning" refers to the charm and grace of the calligraphy work, it may mean that the calligrapher deliberately studied ancient calligraphy. For example, Wang Duo has works based on the styles of Mi and Wang. Maybe this is also called Yi Yu Gu Hui. However, it is also possible that the author realized the author's emotions while imitating the ancient monuments. Both the words and the emotions have ancient meanings. In addition, it may be that after the author completed the work, he thought that he had reached this state and wrote it after the book. It may also be that others thought that he had reached this state after reading it and wrote it after the book.
Question 7: How did the ancients ask if the other party knew calligraphy? Forgive me for my poor eyesight, there is no way to ask this question without knowing it!
Question 8: Those who know calligraphy can help me take a look at this couplet. What does this couplet mean (text) There is an appointment in the green mountains, and the autumn water is like a god.
Question 9: Calligraphy It is said that if you have the best paper to write on, you may do better. What do you think "maybe" means for calligraphers? What do draft, word, and paper refer to in "Life Without Draft"?
