Seal script and official script can only be called books. Because seal script and official script have not yet formed writing laws and regulations, how to write them will do. For example, a seal script can go around many bends, and official script can sometimes be more than one. Sometimes a word can be written in more than 1000 ways. There are so many strange things like longevity that it is really difficult to understand. When reading ancient books, I often say that the words are wrong. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, but there is that way of writing. So when it comes to regular script. You can't scribble, you must write in accordance with laws and regulations. No amount is right, and the strokes are not in the right position. For example, calligraphy, like Yu He, was formed at this time. By the Tang Dynasty, it had been clearly stipulated that all words that could not be written fluently, and those with artificial fonts belonged to art or artistic characters.
The big picture is a part of 100 birthday person. Who do you study?
Define the concept of art first. The definition of art is creativity, vividness and skill, and it can freely express emotions and images, so it is called art. ..
From the perspective of calligraphy art, it is found that Wang Xizhi is the representative of calligraphy in Jin Dynasty, and the calligraphy, lines and cursive characters are all very high. People have been able to express their feelings freely in words, which has high ornamental and collectible value. At this point, the art of calligraphy consciously formed. Calligraphy for short.
Calligraphy is characterized by high aesthetic feeling, high coordination, easy writing, no affectation and strong accomplishment. But also has the function of expressing emotions. Do seal script and official script have these characteristics? Moreover, seal script and official script are outdated fonts, which can only be displayed and appreciated after learning. For beginners, it is easy to form a writing habit of combining rigidity with flexibility after learning seal script and official script. Regular script pursues a vigorous and elegant style, which has nothing to do with the brushwork of seal script and official script. Therefore, learning books is based on Tang Kai.
Of course, when we study calligraphy, it is necessary to learn their brushwork and structural collocation skills. After all, regular script evolved from them. It's already hard to write it well. Writing regular script, seal script is easy to write.
In the Qing Dynasty, due to the prevalence of western exhibitions and social unrest, many ministers initiated the retro style of calligraphy and advocated regular script Wei Bei. However, few people have achieved anything because they can't touch the doorway. Therefore, the calligraphy style from Qing Dynasty to modern times can be summarized as lazy, negative, messy and casual. Fu Shan, Wang Duo and Xu Wei, the three most representative figures, are full of angry, passive and helpless essays. It is extremely difficult to produce the charm of Jin and Tang Dynasties. Bao, Kang Youwei advocated Weibei, and none of the respondents wrote about the grandeur of Weibei. Not to mention the splendor of the Tang Dynasty. Just like the current mobile phone, the simpler the operation, the thinner the better. Can you still be a big brick Who cares if you talk with your mouth full? Dressing must be as simple and convenient as possible. The dragon robe can only progress to the hall.
Nowadays, some calligraphers have found these ancient Chinese characters that have not been written systematically, mastered writing techniques or even written badly from folk classics such as Wadang in Qin and Han Dynasties, silk scripts on bamboo slips, cliff stone carvings, brick carvings of prisoners, epitaphs of poor villages and Dunhuang scriptures. It's like seeing a new continent, so they should learn to copy them. Are the words written by children in the process of learning calligraphy counted as calligraphy? Aren't these all high-level handwritten calligraphy? How lacking is calligraphy cognition today? Sun's Theory of Spectrum relies on methods as well as methods. Take the method, the result can be imagined. Today's book circles use this theory to cover up their ugly books and fool many calligraphers. The more words are written, the more shapeless they are, the less calligraphy height they have, and finally they are not even words.
Retro means nothing to calligraphy, and calligraphy can only move forward. Because writing is a tool to know the world and communicate with each other, calligraphy is a display of our feelings and skills about this tool. Mainly characterized by convenience, quickness, easy identification and practicality. No matter how well written seal script and official script are, they have no practical significance and no criteria for judging. Seal script and official script have only the value of text research and exhibition decoration.
Wearing a bark dragon robe, just to perform on stage. Seal script and official script are only used for inscriptions and exhibitions, and calligraphy is the writing we contact every day. Write quickly and correctly, and have the spirit of a temple, strength and sense of justice like everyone in ancient calligraphy.
Have you seen the seals and official scripts of Wang Xizhi, Liu and Zhao? Can't they write? Calligraphy is the method and rule for us to write good words, with emphasis on practicality. Without practicality, it is better to appreciate paintings and artistic words. Calligraphy is an art higher than art, and it cannot be simply artistic.
It is very important to write simplified Chinese characters now. Writing it out so that everyone can understand, know, write and appreciate it is good calligraphy.
Calligraphy is high, not low, as long as it is well written.
Although cursive script is difficult to identify, the temple is upright and true.
