The opening and closing of calligraphy is an important concept in traditional Chinese calligraphy art. It refers to the expression techniques of the expansion and contraction, movement and stillness, thickness changes, and crisscrossing of strokes. Opening refers to the expansion, smoothness and vividness of the strokes, while closing refers to the gathering, dignification and straightness of the strokes. The use of opening and closing in calligraphy can make calligraphy works more aura and vitality, and can also express the calligrapher's personality and emotions.
The skills of opening and closing calligraphy mainly include the rise and fall, density, strength and frustration of strokes. When writing, you should pay attention to the beginning and end of the strokes, as well as the size, thickness and thickness of the strokes, so as to make the connection between the strokes closer and form an organic whole. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the turning and interlacing of strokes, so that the work presents a sense of layering, movement and rhythm, which is eye-catching.
Famous calligraphers in ancient China, such as Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, etc., are all good at using the techniques of opening and closing calligraphy. In their works, the strokes are ups and downs, crisscrossed, like rushing rivers and The rough waves are shocking. Modern calligraphers are also constantly exploring and innovating the expression techniques of calligraphy opening and closing, so that they can be more used in modern art creation and show the infinite charm of Chinese calligraphy art.
