Deng's Calligraphy Achievements and Status

Deng, whose real name is Yan, whose real name is Yi Bo, is from Huaining, Anhui. Cloth for a living, self-sufficient by engraving books. He studied calligraphy seal cutting all his life and made pioneering contributions to the achievements of seal cutting. Seal script is based on Shi Guwen, Taishan Stone Carving, Yishan Monument and Mukai Stone Que, and is integrated into the interest of Han Monument. Font Fiona Fang used pens for each other, with novel posture, profound brushwork, graceful posture, generous posture, flexible brushwork and strong bone strength, which swept away the combination of rigidity and softness at that time. Also, seal script changed from official script to official script, and from official script to official script, forming its own style. After the Qing Dynasty, all the seal writers were influenced by him. It can be said that for more than 200 years, the artistic style of seal script is rich and colorful, and everyone comes forth in large numbers. This brilliant scene really began with Deng.

Deng Zhuanshu was written after the first year of Jiaqing, and it is Deng's calligraphy handed down from ancient times. Its brushwork is sharp, its bones are as strong as cotton wrapped in iron, its brushwork is calm, and its brushwork is like silkworms spinning silk, especially with the official pen as the seal. When studying this post, you should observe it carefully and deeply understand its changeable brushwork characteristics.

The strokes of his arc painting are either lifting and turning to see the circle or closing to see the square strength. These subtle changes in the use of pens must be in place and must not be excessive when studying. We must do what Sun said, "Those who observe are still refined, and those who seek are also expensive." In terms of suffix, Deng's seal script strives for a unified white method, which makes every seal character appear stable and serene, but it drags on in the blank, thus forming the unity of opposites of sparse, virtual and real. When dealing with uniform and dense white cloth, we should also pay full attention to the parallel, symmetrical, embracing and opposing relationship of lines. In addition, the serrated lines of Deng's seal script are also an important aspect that cannot be ignored. The zigzag arrangement of seal script lines is often the key to creating vividness. Wang Shuyun, a scholar in A Qing, said: "Seal script has three essentials: first, it should be round, second, it should be fine, and third, it should be uneven. Round is power, thin is thin, and uneven is neat. One of the three is lost, slave book ear! " We should keep this in mind when writing Xiao Zhuan.
