Chapter 12 of Gesture Theory

According to legend, in order to pass on the achievements of his lifelong calligraphy research to future generations, the book sage specially wrote twelve chapters of the Theory of Calligraphy? Work. What's more, he taught it as a secret recipe to his students and people. Only later, more and more famous calligraphers studied Mr. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, so it became the "secret" of mass learning.

Open? In China, calligraphers summarized calligraphy from three aspects.

On the one hand, it analyzes the methods of "hiding the front, writing horizontally, closing the pen, turning the pen, starting the pen and hitting the pen", especially the pen gesture formed by various methods, which has great influence on future generations.

Secondly, it is also comprehensive in structure. For example, for the treatment of combined words, he advocated that "it should not be wide, heavy and long, simple and small, complex and large, dense and sparse, short and long"; In terms of the size of words, he also said that "big characters promote small, small characters are big, natural width, without losing appropriateness"; For the analysis of cloth white, he said, "the distribution is white, the distance should be uniform, the upper and lower levels should be appropriate, and it should be natural and stable." When it is necessary to cover up, these theories are almost used by later generations.

Attachment: Mr. Fang wrote Wang Xizhi's Twelve Chapters of Gestures in Zhao Mengfu.

So it's a calligraphy book? It has become a copybook written by Mr. Fang.

In today's world, perhaps even Mr Fang's Hony Zhao Kai is bent with his fingers!
