Terminology of vibrato pen calligraphy

The technique of using a pen is named because the strokes are vibrating. "Tan Hui" contains: "Southern Tang Dynasty (Yu) rare books. Like a trembling pen, it is better than a cold pine and frost bamboo. " Also known as "Jin Cuodao". "Three Flowers and Birds in Xuanhe Face Spectrum" contains: "Tang first learned Li Cuo's knife and brush, and then painted bamboo, which is like calligraphy and has a trembling shape."

The war pen, also known as the "vibrating pen", achieves the effect of thick lines through the vibrating pen, which makes pointillism converge. As Cai Yong said in the Han Dynasty: "The astringency of the situation lies in the tight method of using troops."

If you drag it straight without ups and downs, stippling must be flat, thin and flat, lacking implicit inner beauty. In the Tang Dynasty, Han said in the theory of giving pens: "If you don't get astringent, you will be in danger, if you flow, you will be strong, if you flow, you will be slippery, and if you slip, you will be vulgar." It can be seen that the pen is expensive "astringent" and avoid "slippery".

Writers tend to pay attention to the start and finish of stippling, while ignoring the strokes in the middle. In the Qing Dynasty, Bao said in "Art Boat and Double Boat": "The method of using a pen is at both ends of the painting, while the rich and arrogant people of the ancients were cut off in the painting. There are still traces of manipulation at both ends of the cover; Among them, the reason why the interception is rich but not timid is real and not empty, and it is not fortunate. " The war pen is mainly used to draw the middle part of the painting to make it full and not empty. Just as many calligraphers don't understand that the highest realm of calligraphy is Tao and nature, many calligraphers don't understand the characteristics of strokes written by "quiver" or "shake" pens and can't tell the specific shapes of strokes written by "quiver" or "shake" pens. Because trembling or trembling is a mechanical repetitive action with the same involuntary frequency, it is a simple repetition without change. In this way, the words written by the trembling wrist hand with a pen have the following characteristics:

1. A stroke written by deliberately pursuing the spirit of the stone, with the same frequency or the same wave curve;

2. An unsmooth pen has a stagnation point with the same frequency;

3. When the pen is re-slid, the sawtooth with the same frequency appears.

The basic feature of vulgar pen is to repeat the same stroke without changing it.
