Construction refers to the method of arranging and arranging the echoes and relationships between words and lines and lines in the entire work.
That is, the "white cloth" of the entire work. Also known as "big rules". It is also customary to call the arrangement of dots within a character and the relationship between the arrangement of a character and numbers "small composition". Zhang Shen's "General Explanation of Calligraphy" of the Ming Dynasty said: "The ancients wrote just like compositions with calligraphy. The composition, the structure of the chapter, and the structure of the final chapter are consistent from beginning to end. Therefore, it is said: 'One point forms the rule of one word; one character is the master of the final chapter.'" Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty said in "Essays on Painting the Zen Room? Comments on Calligraphy": "The ancients regarded the composition as a major issue when discussing calligraphy, which is why the so-called dense lines are dense. I saw Mi Zhi's small regular script and wrote the "Illustrated Notes of the Elegant Collection of the West Garden", which is a Wan Fan. Straight as a string, there must be no other way, but pay attention to the rules and regulations in daily life.
You Jun's "Lanting Xu", the rules and regulations are the first in ancient and modern times, and the characters are all produced in response to the belt, either small or large. Whatever you do, it all follows the rules." It can be seen that chapter script is very important in a calligraphy work. When writing, you must handle the whitening in the words, the whitening of each word, and the whitening between the lines, so as to make dots and dots. The words echo each other, the words follow the trend, and the lines reflect each other. In this way, the spirit and energy are smooth, exquisite and harmonious, and the effect of "gold in the words and jade in the lines" is achieved.
There are generally three forms of cloth: one is vertical rows, horizontal rows, and columns; the second is: vertical rows, horizontal rows, but no columns (or horizontal rows, vertical rows, but no columns); the third is vertical rows, horizontal rows, and horizontal rows. They may have the artificial beauty of "engraved gold and staggered picking", or the natural beauty of "hibiscus emerging from water".
