The skill of this Chinese character is very rich, and there are many nutrients worth absorbing and learning. The whole word is tight left and loose right, dense left and sparse right, high left and low right. The four people's paintings are different in shape, thickness and opening and closing, which is very wonderful.
Speaking of Preface to Lanting, I have to remind you that Preface to Lanting reminds us of the classic paradigm of signing a contract. Many people will write the year when they sign. In fact, this is not standardized. According to the argument in Preface to Lanting, it can be written as "Guimao is 23 years old" or as "Guimao Rabbit Year", "Guimao Spring" and so on.
Let's look at the complete word Guimao written by Wang Xizhi. These two words are in the preface of Ji Wang's Victory in Education. You can also look them up and practice them. This letter is written high on the left and low on the right, with two strokes left and right. The first stroke on the left is thick, showing the strength on the left, and the second stroke on the right is thick and strong.
Zheng Banqiao, one of the eight eccentrics in Yangzhou, wrote Guimao. Zheng Banqiao's two sentences are still very instructive today. A thick one is thin, a short one is long, and a continuous one. They are full of variety and contrast. On this basis, we can make some changes and form our own signature style, especially with Mao characters, which is worthy of reference.
Precautions when running scripts:
1, stroke straightness is converted into position.
Anyone who has practiced running script knows that running script is faster than regular script, official script and seal script, and the redundant strokes will be displayed through Lian Bi, so the strokes of running script look more natural and curvy than regular script, and the arc generated by the connection of strokes will increase.
2, writing running script should be exaggerated.
Exaggeration in running script is the most common writing technique. This change usually has three situations. One is the stretching and extension of strokes to obtain vertical momentum. Second, the brush strokes emphasize cadence, highlight the beauty of curves and enrich the changes of brush strokes.
