Shuo, a dazzling Chinese character, seems to be born with its own light and dazzling. It consists of two parts: next to the word fire on the left, it represents a bright flame; The Japanese characters on the right symbolize the sun shining. Together, these two parts describe the meaning of saying-shining, bright and burning.
How many strokes does this radiant Chinese character have? Does the number of strokes have any special meaning? We count carefully, from left to right, from top to bottom, stroke by stroke:
1, next to the word fire: one stroke, one stroke, two strokes * * *.
2. Japanese characters: one horizontal, one vertical, one left and one left * * * four strokes.
There are six * * *. Six strokes, a just right number, is neither complicated nor too simple and monotonous. It represents the clarity of Shuowen, and also symbolizes the connotation of combining rigidity with softness and combining dynamic and static.
In calligraphy works, Shuo characters are often favored because of their clear strokes. Calligraphers endow Shuozi with different charm and artistic conception by making each stroke a setback and turning point. Or strong and powerful, the pen is like a knife; Or soft and smart, like flowing water; Or thick and concise, such as towering mountains; Or elegant and delicate, like a breeze blowing willow.
Besides the art of calligraphy, Shuo Zi also shines brilliantly in literary creation. Literati use it to describe brilliant things and express their inner passion and boldness. For example, the poem is burning brilliantly, and 3,000 words describe the splendor of peach blossoms, which makes people marvel at the ingenuity of nature; Another example is that the words and expressions are brilliant, and the poet's talent and boldness are expressed through bright words, rendering a magnificent and heroic artistic conception.
The six strokes of Shuo characters are clear, rigid and flexible, which are not only the carrier of calligraphers' splashing ink, but also the medium for literati to express their feelings. It illuminates the bright starry sky of Chinese character culture with its own unique light.
