Extended meaning of structure

Structure is also called "knot", "frame" and "structure". Specifically, it refers to the arrangement between each word and the layout of the situation. Chinese characters are formal and calligraphy is "metaphysics" (Qing Kang Youwei), so the structure is particularly important. Yuan Qian's Postscript to Lanting: "Calligraphy is based on the use of pens, and it also requires labor to form words." All kinds of fonts of Chinese characters are connected and matched with dots and strokes. The length, short, thick, thin, prone, upturned, contracted and stretched strokes, and the width, narrow, high, low, narrow and straight radicals constitute different forms of each character. In order to make the stroke matching of Chinese characters appropriate, appropriate and uniform, it is necessary to study its structure. As Feng Ban said in the Pure Book of Songs in the Qing Dynasty: "Learn the frame first, and the ancients call it a knot; Learn to use a pen when the shelf is clear. You can see the stone tablet on the shelf, so you must use a pen to create it. In conclusion, Jin people use reason, Tang people use reason, and Song people are interested. " There is another cloud: "There is no secret in calligraphy, just use a pen and prick your ears." It can be seen that the structure plays an important role in calligraphy.
