1) Simplified writing method of Ye Genyou's brush calligraphy
2) Basic essentials of brush calligraphy
If you want to write brush calligraphy well, you must master the brushwork and calligraphy.
Writing
Su Dongpo said, "There is no fixed method for writing a pen, so it should be empty and wide." Five-finger pen-holding method: that is, hold the pen holder with the fingertips of thumb and forefinger (appropriate height) to ensure that the pen holder does not fall off; The middle finger is placed on the outside of the pen under the index finger, which not only strengthens the power of the index finger to pinch the pen, but also plays the role of hooking the pen in; When the nail of the ring finger touches the inside of the pen, it plays the role of pushing the pen outward; The little finger is attached to the lower part of the finger belly of the ring finger to help the ring finger push the pen outward. When holding a pen, as the ancients said, "Make the palm as empty as holding an egg", which is convenient for carrying a pen. To learn books, you should often practice holding the pen, hooking it back, pushing it out and rotating the pen holder (plus the role of the wrist) and drawing straight lines and arcs. The level of writing and whether to hang your wrist or elbow depends on the size of the words written. The small words are held low and the wrist is pillow. Hold the big characters high and hang your wrists; No matter how big it is, you need to hang your elbow.
font method
Calligraphy is a plastic art of lines. The so-called brushwork is mainly about how to create ideal lines (stippling).
lifting and pressing-when the pen is pressed down to write, the strokes will be thick, and when it is lifted, it will be fine. Just like a person's two feet when walking, one falls and the other lifts, and keeps alternating, the pen is also constantly pressing in the process of writing. Only in this way can we produce lines with different thicknesses.
every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: writing, writing and receiving. There is a method of "exposing the front" when entering the pen, so that the beginning of the stroke is pointed or square; There is a method of "hiding the front", in which the front enters the pen, the horizontal painting wants to be right first and the vertical painting wants to go down first, so that the front of the pen is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically circular. When writing, you should learn to "use the pen by the center" so that the front tip often runs in the middle of the stroke. In order to make the strokes more powerful, we should learn to use the pen in a unsmiling way, leaving lines in the middle and lines in the middle, so as to avoid glitz. There are "exposed front" (the pen is gradually lifted out of the paper, and the painting is pointed, such as hanging the needle vertically, skimming, pressing and hooking) and "hidden front" (the pen tip is retracted into the painting, such as hanging vertically, and the end of the stroke is round).
knot-also known as knot or shelf structure. Mr. Qi Gong once pointed out that to write brush strokes, we should grasp the structure of the shelf and practice the characteristics of strokes. Frame structure is more important than pointillism. The characters with good spacing are not prominent in stroke characteristics, but also pleasing to the eye; Not the other way around. Therefore, it is very important to carefully study and grasp the law of the structure of good words. The so-called "beginner distribution, but seeking fairness". ?
