For a long time, scholars generally believe that the official script in the sense of Chinese characters contains sub-scripts, and the obvious sub-scripts of the silkworm's head swallow tail and wave shape are the signs of the maturity of official scripts. What I'm going to bring you is the calligraphy style of official script. I hope you like it. Calligraphy and official script calligraphy brushwork appreciation

First, eight kinds of changes in official script folding
Square folding: this stroke.
top corner folding: this type of folding method, when writing, the pen tip is slightly lifted to the corner, and the turning pen runs to the upper right and the lower left.
right corner: move the pen to the corner, that is, change the front to the lower left to carry the pen, and the right corner is obviously protruding.
Rounding: When turning, the pen tip turns slightly, so it should be rounded and flexible, and remember to run slowly and heavily.
vertical folding: line the pen to the turning point, adjust the pen tip and run it to the right. The vertical, horizontal and corner should be connected naturally and harmoniously.
Oblique folding: write to the corner, that is, turn the pen to the left and crawl obliquely, so that the vertical painting with the corner folded will be inward.
upward oblique folding: reverse the stroke to the left and downward, and then turn the front to the right at a proper place, so that the drawing above the folding angle becomes oblique, and the turning point should be larger.
twisted silk folding: Because there are many folding angles in this stroke, we should pay attention to the uneven level between them when writing, and strive to be vivid and varied, with different descriptions.
second, the change of official script wave. There are eight kinds of coda waves: the stroke is close to the tail, and the stroke is pressed to the lower right, and then the stroke is out to the right, and the whole stroke is slightly curved.
coda wave: this stroke should be pressed slightly when writing, so that its lower part is thick and powerful, and its upper and lower lines are flat.
vertical folding wave: this stroke is a combination of vertical painting and wave painting, so attention should be paid to connecting nature when writing.
hidden front wave: when writing the tail of the stroke, press it slightly, then lift the pen to the right and run a little, that is, turn the pen front around and wrap it up.
long flat wave: the adverse front is abrupt to the lower left, full of energy, forming a silkworm head, fine in the middle, and gradually rising to the upper right after a short pause at the tail, forming a wave of twists and turns.
square head wave: put pen to paper to go against the trend, then cut down into a square pen, which looks like a knife cut, and turn the pen to the right. The stroke at the middle and the tail is similar to a long wave.
tail-lifting wave: the stroke is close to the tail, slightly pressed, and then the front is gradually raised to the upper right, and the tail is upturned.
small coda wave: this stroke should be thinner and stronger when it is running. When it is slightly pressed at the tail (some even don't press it), it will come out to the right, and the goose tail is not obvious.
III. Changes of Lishu Hook Twelve kinds of vertical hooks
: When Zang Feng starts writing, the pen should be turned down, and it should be straight, and then turn round at the corner, and then move the pen to the left, and put forward the front while walking.
Oblique hook: When this stroke runs (to the lower right or to the lower left), its inclination should be determined according to the structure of the whole word, so as to keep the center of gravity balanced, and the hook should not be thick.
right folding hook: when the Tibetan front or the exposed front starts to write, it moves downward, and then it turns at an appropriate place to adjust the pen front to run to the right, which requires liveliness and thickening, and the tail is slightly upturned.
short hook: when the stroke goes to the corner, it needs to turn round, and its hook should not be thick and slightly hooked.
long hook: the hook is slightly semicircle-shaped, inclined, avoiding square folding at the corner, and it should be stretched strongly when hooked to the left, and the pen should be closed or the front or back.
thick hook: when you move the pen to the turning point to the left or right, you should press it again while walking, so as to make it slightly thick and firm.
flat hook: in the process of turning to the right, in order to make the whole word look simple, it is advisable to write straight and with the tail slightly upturned.
hook: turning the pen to the left requires a round turn, and it gradually moves upward near the tail, showing a round hook shape.
back-to-the-front hook: transport the pen to the tail, and turn the pen back to the front round up or down to achieve steady strength.
front hook: move the pen to the right or left close to the tail, and it is required to raise the pen while walking, from thick to thin, and the front is slightly faster, so remember to be slippery.
horizontal folding hook: this stroke is actually a combination of folding and hook. When writing, the two are organically combined to make it coherent and natural.
4. Eight kinds of changes in the official script
Straight stroke: This stroke is relatively straight, so you should go down to the right freely and straightly when carrying a pen, and press it while walking, and remember to bend in the middle.
flat pressing: after starting the pen, press it to the lower right, and at the same time, according to the needs of the structure, it has a certain bending shape to make it lively.
oblique stroke: the oblique side and bending degree of the pen are between straight stroke and flat stroke, so avoid being stiff and too bent.
short stroke: after starting the stroke, press it to the right or downward, the middle part should be vertical, and the whole stroke should be short, thick and solid.
small strokes: due to the structure of words and other factors, sometimes small dots should be written to set off other strokes.
Ge Na: This stroke is the main stroke of the whole word, so it's okay to be rough and focused when writing. After the pen is turned to the front, press it to the lower right, the middle part should be tall and strong, and the tail should be strong and natural.
Keep your fingers crossed: the beginning of the stroke is often associated with the previous stroke or strokes. When writing, you should pay attention to the relationship between size and thickness.
Hold the stroke from the bottom of my heart: when writing the stroke, the inclination, size and thickness of the stroke should be determined according to the size of other parts in the whole word, so as to make it harmonious as a whole.
five, twelve changes of official script apostrophe
vertical apostrophe: after starting the pen, move it down to the center, about two-thirds of it turns to the left, and the corner should be rounded, and the pen should be collected back.
Oblique skimming: Start the pen against the front, turn the front to the left and carry the pen down after a short pause, with a larger oblique potential. When closing the pen, either turn the pen back to the front, or stop for a short time.
curl: after the stroke is reversed, it turns to the front downwards, and then turns to the left in the middle. The size and position of the arc are determined according to the needs of the structure.
flat-off: after starting the pen, it is left-off, and its upper and lower lines are basically flat, slightly curved, or the pen is closed and the front is left.
short-stroke: either start writing with the front exposed or hidden, and run down to the left, and return to the front to collect the pen, so as to be short and powerful when writing.
Pointed apostrophe: For the need of structural change, the stroke should start with a sharp head.
sharp-tailed apostrophe: this stroke should be lifted while writing until it is close to the tail, gradually becoming lighter, coming out quickly, reaching a sharp point, and the tail is pointed.
round tail curl: stroke the pen to the tail, the tip of the front is rounded back to the front upward or downward, and the tail is slightly round and even, so as not to be too swollen.
apostrophe: write to the tail, turn the brush back to the front with a circle to the right, and apostrophe to the right or upper right.
with hook: the pen is close to the tail. Don't lift the pen. Transfer the pen upward and to the upper right circle, and then raise the front while walking. The hook should be natural and lively.
with horizontal stroke: turn the pen against the front circle and run to the right. When it reaches a proper position, turn the front (or turn around, or turn around) and write to the lower left. The corner should be flexible and natural.
VI. Changes in the third vertical position of official script (four types)
Long vertical position: starting a pen to hide the front, turning the front to the center, and returning the front to collect the pen, which should be rough, strong and straight.
thin, thick and vertical: when the pen runs down, it is pressed while walking, and the pen-receiving circle turns back to the front, with the upper part thin and the lower part thick.
vertical arc: similar to horizontal arc, when running down after starting, you should first move the pen to the right and then move it to the left in the middle, showing a slight arc.
Oblique and vertical: After the stroke is started, it should run downward to the left and avoid being vertical.
VII. Changes in the horizontal direction of the official script (four types)
Long horizontal direction: start the pen against the front, stop for a while and turn the front to the right, and the center strokes the pen. When closing the pen, the pen will be lifted back to the left, or the pen will be lifted empty after a short pause.
horizontal thickness: start the pen against the front, turn the pen to the right, lift it while walking, and gently lift it back to the front, which is thick before and thin after.
horizontal arc: when writing this stroke, it should be noted that it runs to the upper right first, then moves to the middle and then to the lower right, which is slightly arc-shaped.
thin horizontal: some changes in the structure of words should not be thick and long, but should be thin and strong.
VIII. Sixteen kinds of changes of official script points
The punctuality is: starting the pen against the front, carrying the pen at the lower right after a short pause, and then turning to the lower left to write, gradually lifting, and collecting the pen.
horizontal point: start the pen against the front, turn the pen to the right and run easily and naturally, and return to the front to collect the pen. It looks like a horizontal painting, but pay attention to writing too thick and too long.
vertical point: the Tibetan front goes backward, and then turns downward after a pause. Never write long or short.
lateral point: the reverse front goes up to the right, and slightly strokes down to the right during the pause. Then lift the pen to the left and collect the pen.
apostrophe: start the stroke against the front, turn the stroke to the lower left and gradually lift it, or close the stroke against the front or out. Don't write this stroke coarsely.
acupressure point: cut in against the front, turn the front to the right or downward, from light to heavy, and then from heavy to light after pressing the foot again. When the force reaches the sharp point, the strokes should be thick and short.
cross-picking point: either the exposed front or the hidden front cuts in, turns the pen to the right or upward gradually, and closes the pen at the front, which is not suitable for thick writing.
upper alignment point: the strokes of the left and right points should be basically opposite, and then the stroke will be left and right or left and right.
upper bisector: although there are strokes in the middle, the left and right sides still need to be basically flat, forming a trend of echoing and looking at each other from a distance.
lower alignment point: these two points are the combination of left-handed point and right-handed point, and attention should be paid to the patchwork and lively changes when writing.
lower bisector: these two points should be roughly opposite when writing, and then they should be thicker and shorter to the left and right.
the second point on the left: the starting strokes of the two points should be different, or the Fang Bi or the round pen should be compact up and down, and the momentum must be coherent.
The next three points: When writing, we should pay attention to the fact that the strokes of the three points should be different, and they should look at each other and be lively.
Left three points: The arrangement of the upper and lower points should be staggered, and attention should be paid to the coherence of the momentum. Remember that the size is the same. Sometimes, for the needs of writing, the upper, middle and second points can be connected with ties.
four points: when writing, you should write out the departure echoes between the points, and pay attention to making their shapes different.
Multiple points: If there are many points in a word, the writing of each point should be different, and the momentum between them should be paid attention to.
IX. The basic stippling of official script
1. Wave painting is the main feature of official script, with a heavy stroke, so as to achieve a full and powerful effect. After closing the stroke, press it to the right, forming a heavy silkworm head and a goose tail, which is full of twists and turns. Wave painting should write the trend of rising and falling, giving people a special aesthetic feeling.
(1) the headwind is down to the left; (2) Turn the pen to the right after a short pause (3), (4) hide the front of the animal, (5) open like a silkworm head; (6) The center lifts to the right, (7) goes to the middle, (8) the strokes become thinner, (9) when crossing the middle, (1) you should press while walking, (11) the strokes become thicker; (12) Press the pen down immediately after a short pause, (13) Give full play to your strength, and (14) Carry the power to the end.
2. Folding
Folding painting is a joint writing method of horizontal painting and vertical painting. Writing at the corner, writing horizontally at the corner, changing the pen for the front and writing downwards. There are many changes in the writing method of folding, which can be used flexibly according to the needs of structural modeling of each word.
(1) the headwind turns to the left; (2) Turn the pen to the right after a pause (3); (4) The stroke of the pen moves to the right along the midline; (5) Pick up the pen at the turning point and change the front to carry the pen downwards; (6) the center lifts and presses down; (7) Gently lift the pen back to the front.
3. Skimming
Skimming paintings can be divided into short skimming and long skimming. Short apostrophe is divided into forward writing and backward writing; Long-skimmed pens have different shapes such as hook, circle, tip and square. The center strokes slightly faster to the left and down, and the pen is closed according to the requirements of the end of the stroke, or the pen is closed back, or naturally lifted, depending on the different structures and strokes of each word.
(1) the headwind is upward; (2) After stopping for a while (3), turn down to the left; (4) The center makes a quick stroke to the left; (5) Slightly (6) Gently lift after stopping, (7) Return to the front to collect the pen.
4. Si
Si, also known as Yan Wei, is the main stroke that shows the characteristics of official script. There are two kinds of drawing: flat drawing and oblique drawing. Putting pen to paper hides the front from the reverse, the center descends obliquely to the right, spreads the pen to the right and slowly lifts it, and how the front emerges depends on the structure. Edge requires stability and strength, and gradually reach the end.
(1) the adverse front is upward to the left; (2) Turn the pen slightly and run to the right and down; (3) the center is gradually pressed; (4) Press it again slowly and lift it out to the right, (5) Send it to the front tip with the whole body force, and (6) Breathe through the tail end.
5. Hook
Hook painting is also one of the strokes that show the brushwork characteristics of official script. There are two categories: left hook and right hook. There are oblique hooks, folding hooks, horizontal hooks, vertical hooks, etc. The hook of official script is special, unlike the hook of capital script and running script, which is short and short, but it is long and flat, instead of picking. The right hook is replaced by a slap. Hooks vary a lot, depending on the structural changes of each word.
(1) put pen to paper against the front; (2) Turn the pen down after a slight pause; (3) the center lifts the pen; (4) Press and turn the pen to the left while walking, (5) Lift quickly while walking, or (6) Return to the front to collect the pen.
6. Points
There are many changes in the points of Lishu, and the Tibetan front is required to reverse in when writing, and the front changes according to the different forms of each point. It is the condensation of other strokes. There are punctuality, horizontal point, vertical point, lateral point, pressing point, horizontal point, upper point, lower point, left point and right point, as well as the echo of three points, the opening and closing of four points and the stagger of many points. Write vividly and richly, especially full and heavy.
(1) Put pen to paper against the front; (2) Turn the pen back to the right and down; (3) pen down to the left.
7. Horizontal
Horizontal painting is the most basic stroke in official script, which is inherited from seal script. It hides the head and wraps the tail, and contains music in a flat way. It should be substantial, steady, decisive and neat, and even in thickness. The Tibetan front retreats, avoiding the head; The round pen uses the rotation method to adjust the pen tip, and Fang Bi uses the folding method to adjust the pen tip; The center's push should be steady; Back to the front, you must be natural.
(1) move the pen to the left; (2) The pen tip turns back to the right; (3) The stroke of the pen moves to the right along the midline; (4) After a slight pause (5), gently lift it to the left for recycling.
8. Vertical
Vertical painting is almost the same as horizontal painting.
