The seven skills of a master in posting are as follows:
The original size of the post is large, and the reading of the post is enlarged: it refers to the size of the knot. When posting and creating, we must pay attention to the change of the size of the word, thus avoiding rigidity. Generally, the size of the post refers to the original post, while the enlarged version of the copybook can be purchased for reading the post, which is convenient for observing the brushwork such as subtle turning.
thickness changes, writing texture: we often say that the pen should be affordable and can be pressed. Lifting means that we dare to write with a pen tip suddenly under normal writing conditions. Although we write with a pen tip, there must be changes in lifting and pressing, and we must write hard, not tracing.
By pressing, you dare to let the brush eat paper in a large area, and even use the side edge. What I want to explain here is that although the strokes are very heavy, we should also see the strokes, and the strokes should have a sense of texture.
Dry depends on the pen, wet depends on the shape: dry is the state when the ink on the brush is almost used up, and then it appears white. Wet, naturally, is the state when it is just dipped in ink. At this time, the words written are prone to ink rising, and the words after ink rising must be recognizable, otherwise it will become a fat ink pig. Dry to see the pen, wet to see the shape, dry and wet transition to be natural.
Proper density and regulation throughout the whole article: In addition to considerable pen and ink skills, it is more important to regulate the whole article. Yan Zhengsheng, uneven level: In a masterpiece of calligraphy, it must be Yan Zhengsheng, uneven level.
the pen breaks the meaning, looking around and echoing: refers to the connection between words. There should be no rigid rules for breaking and connecting, but there must be no echo.
rational operation, emotional growth: rational operation, skillful arrangement, emotional wantonness, and rational growth. The repeated use of sensibility and rationality can not only express the author's emotional changes, but also play a role in regulating the rhythm in form, making the work more rhythmic and more touching to the audience.
The calligraphy of this post is natural and unrestrained. Although it is a copy of an ancient post, it is not constrained by the shape of the original post, and the brushwork is free from its constraints. The words are written with a pen. In the ancient post, we can learn from its meaning, learn from its state, get its outline, observe it from the whole picture, and the statutes are self-contained, showing the grandeur and ease.
