Understanding of "horizontal"
Horizontal lines are commonly used strokes in Chinese characters. Together with vertical strokes, it forms the skeleton of Chinese characters, which plays a very important role in the balance and stability of Chinese characters. What we usually call "horizontal and vertical" cannot be simply understood as "horizontal", but should refer to visual balance and stability. In fact, "horizontal" is relative. Most of the horizontal paintings in calligraphy are uneven, showing the shape of low left and high right. Generally, the included angle with the horizontal line is between 5 ~ 10.
Because the horizontal painting has different positions in the word, it has changes in length, thickness and pitch. There are mainly long horizontal, short horizontal, concave horizontal, convex horizontal, left horizontal and right horizontal.
1, long level
A word is long and horizontal, which has the effect of stabilizing the overall situation. If further subdivided, there are "horizontal", "convex" and "thin waist".
The method of using the pen is as follows: "Put the pen in the opposite direction (or fold it in the right direction)-press the center stroke-press the return front stroke". When the stroke is slightly raised, it can be written as "convex horizontal", and when the stroke is slightly right, it can be written as "waist horizontal".
2, short horizontal
In regular script, short crosses are generally thicker and long crosses are generally thinner. Short horizontal can be divided into "waist thick horizontal" and "concave horizontal".
The way to use the pen is: from the top right to the bottom right, use the middle stroke to reverse the previous stroke and from the back stroke. Fine brushwork, solid in the middle, that is, "thick waist and horizontal"; The midline pen is slightly concave, that is, "concave horizontal". Generally speaking, the upward amplitude of the "concave cross" is slightly larger.
3. The left tip is horizontal.
From the appearance, the horizontal painting with a sharp left and a thick right is called "horizontal painting with a sharp left". The method of using the pen is as follows: Lu Feng (SF) starts the pen, raises the pen in the center, and closes the pen at the lower right.
4. Right sharp cross
The appearance is opposite to the left tip, and the right tip has a painting feeling.
The way to use the pen is: use the pen from the front-gently lift the upper right corner when writing in the middle-naturally close the pen (the trick is between hiding and revealing).
