How to write a good Chu style

Zhang's evaluation book is as beautiful as a beauty, as if it were not in Luo Qi, and it is graceful. Emperor Taizong once said, "After Yu Shinan's death, no one will talk to me about calligraphy." Wei Zhi recommended Chu Suiliang, saying that "Chu Suiliang's writing style is hard and Wang Yi's body is strong." He has studied Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Wang Xizhi and Han Li. Its characteristics are: the official books are colorful, unique, colorful and changeable. At that time, it was as famous as Europe and Yu, and there were many literati. Yan Zhenqing is also affected by it. After studying Chu Shu for more than six years, I was deeply touched and deeply influenced. Looking back at Gu Chushu now, I feel quite cordial. Let's talk about my experience in learning Chu Shu. . . Chu Suiliang's regular script works are the calligraphers who are far away from vulgarity with the most individuality, statutes and aesthetics. This is also an important reason why I like his works, which is in line with my personality. The most popular evaluation of his calligraphy in history is "graceful, charming and gentle". Why did he write "charming and soft"? I think it has something to do with the social environment at that time. First, the society is stable, the people are rich, and the whole society reflects a rich atmosphere. The whole society is so aesthetic; He holds an important position and is knowledgeable. History has chosen him. Second, his words came from official script, which absorbed the official script of the two kings. His lines were stiff and his techniques tended to be soft. The combination of rigidity and softness of China's calligraphy is vividly interpreted! Chu Suiliang knows little about family studies, dabbles in literature and history, and is good at calligraphy. When he was young, he studied in the Ten Tombs. When he grew up, he was influenced by his father and friends Yu Shinan and Ou Yangxun. Sui and Liang Dynasties' Annals of Teenagers is rich in knowledge, and its writing style is similar to the epitaph of the Northern Dynasties. In the same year, The Monument to Mencius was also written with a pen, just like Ou Yangxun. Because Emperor Taizong advocated the word "Wang", Chu Suiliang also deeply understood the two kings' ways of doing things, taking the virtual as the truth and turning the real into the virtual, forming a style full of strength, charm, thinness and elegance, and calmness and fortitude. Chu Kai has many works with different artistic characteristics. Choosing your favorite tablet that conforms to your personal writing temperament is bound to be carefully selected among many newly opened tablets. Beginners should choose a more correct tablet with a large number of words, such as the preface to the holy teachings of Yanta. Those who have a certain calligraphy foundation can choose Jing or Ni Kuanzan's ink book to learn. As for the tablet of Mencius, there are many ways to use it, and the writing style and writing style have changed greatly. It is an immature work of Chu Kai, but it fully shows Chu Suiliang's strong integration and adaptability. I think the best of his posts is Preface to the Wild Goose Pagoda, because he carefully wrote the seals of the emperor and Huang Ziwen; Second, he was mature when he wrote it; Third, due to the high level of seal cutting, his brushwork is true. It is his 58-year-old work, and Wang Xuzhou commented: "The brushwork is fine, like a hundred years of withered vines, ethereal and bright, and the dregs are empty. I want to stay an inch away from the paper, like a clear cloud hanging in the air, like a fairy whistling in a tree, and I can't climb it. " To write Chu-style characters well, I think the brush must be elastic, and the paper must absorb some ink. Don't hesitate in the process of writing. Only by being quick can you appreciate the coherence between his strokes. Body odor is light and heavy, left light and right heavy, left small and right big. Also, his long horizontal and vertical lines are always curved, which contains elasticity. The most interesting thing is that he didn't accept the pen and went out directly. It needs to be integrated. First, focus on the main structure and brushwork of Chu Suiliang's regular script posts, and then combine the learning results of similar famous inscriptions with his own temperament. It is good to keep 60% of Chukai's characteristics and borrow 40% from other positions. Of course, the author needs to be knowledgeable and thoughtful, to get rid of the rough and the fine, to get rid of the false and keep the true, and to achieve this goal with the support of comprehensive artistic literacy. Chu regular script is the first of its kind, but its characters are still flawed, and some strokes still have room for scrutiny. But none of these can affect his brilliant regular script status. In short, it is not difficult to learn from Chu Kai. As long as you train carefully, don't be aggressive and anxious, and put the correct training methods into action, you will succeed!
