The calligraphy term (middle) means center.
1. Analysis
The center and the flank refer to the position of the tip of the pen in the stroke line operation. The front is also called the positive front, that is, the pen holder is vertical, the pen tip moves in the stroke, and its lines are flush on both sides, round and full, and have a three-dimensional effect.
since ancient times, center, flank and exposed front, hidden front, and center's strokes have been regarded as the "eternal difficulty" principle in calligraphy, which is insurmountable for learners. Jiang Baishi's "Continued Book Spectrum" said: "If you always want the pen to be in the painting, you will be sick on both sides."
second, the key to using a pen
the center is a key to using a pen. Only Feng Zheng can be strong and energetic and leap forward. Of course, the calligraphy pen is extremely varied, and it is impossible for the pen to reach the center. However, no matter how it changes, at the end of the pen, it will definitely receive the center.
calligraphy learning methods:
1. Description
Writing posture: Five-finger writing method. First, the thumb and middle finger are tightly clamped, and the vacant position in the palm should be like a cube of about 4 cm. Then, the ring finger and little finger are naturally placed behind the writing brush, with the body straight and the arm at a proper distance from the table. Common methods: cover the original with thin paper (silk) to write or draw as it is. Painting red is one of the methods.
2. Writing posture
It is very important to learn calligraphy posture correctly, especially for teenagers who are just learning calligraphy. It is difficult to correct incorrect posture, which will affect the progress of calligraphy and the health of bones and eyes. Therefore, learning calligraphy posture must be positive, that is, head, body and hands.
3. Write on your knees
Write in big characters over two feet, and you can write on your knees or prostrate, which is easy to master the structure of words. The method is to kneel on the left knee, bend the right knee to support the body, and straighten the left hand to help the ground. This method is too flexible and difficult to be effective, so it is best to prepare a short case to write if possible.
No matter when sitting or standing a book, keep a proper distance between the eyes and the paper when writing, which should change with the size of the written words. Small characters should be close and big characters should be far away. Usually, you should write in block letters and big letters, which should be about one city ruler, and the small print should be slightly less than this distance. When writing a large character of more than one foot, there should be a distance of more than two feet, otherwise it is difficult to take care of the relationship between strokes and the overall structure.
