Help me analyze the characteristics of Chu Suiliang's writing and how to write it well (preface to the holy teachings of Yanta)

The first generation is the heyday of China's cultural and artistic development. Poetry, music, prose, painting, sculpture, calligraphy and many other artistic categories have produced many masterpieces, which are immortal. Calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty is a vast river of calligraphy in China and an insurmountable peak for calligraphers since the Tang Dynasty. Regular script in the Tang Dynasty is a masterpiece created by calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty and a bright pearl in the history of calligraphy in China. "Magnificent, strict statutes, upright style and elegant style" are the main characteristics of Tang Kai's art. Although the works of four representatives, Chu Suiliang, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan have different styles, the overall artistic characteristics consistently reflect the influence and role of politics, economy and culture on the calligraphy art in the Tang Dynasty, which is the symbol of the times of the calligraphy art in the Tang Dynasty. As a famous minister in the pre-Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chu Suiliang was highly valued by Emperor Taizong and made great achievements in calligraphy, even surpassing his political achievements today. Chu Suiliang's regular script works are the most unique, authoritative and aesthetic calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty, far from vulgarity. To study and learn Chu-style regular script, we need to know the following five aspects: calligraphy and calligrapher (f't "p4t; General Motors Corporation

Why do you need to understand the relationship between learners and calligraphers when learning calligraphy? This is a question that beginners will have We believe that it is very important to know the artistic thought, artistic style, artistic achievements and forming factors of a calligrapher we want to learn, who to learn from and who to inherit, and then help us master the style of learning this calligrapher. ; k % u S! f9 T

Chu Suiliang was born in a scholarly family, and his father, Chu Suiliang, was a bachelor of Oriental Palace and a doctor of Taichang when he entered Sui, and his literary talent was quite good. Chu Suiliang knows little about family studies, dabbles in literature and history, and is good at calligraphy. When he was young, he studied in the Ten Tombs. When he grew up, he was influenced by his father and friends Yu Shinan and Ou Yangxun. We haven't read The Book of Ten Tombs. Judging from the book A Que Buddhist Shrine Monument written by Chu Suiliang in Zhenguan period, its elegance and strictness are different from those of Yu Shu. In addition, it has the characteristics of flat painting and wide knot. It can be said that Chu Suiliang's "Youth Records" is learned from many aspects, and the brushwork of epitaphs in the Northern Dynasties is similar. In the same year, The Monument to Mencius was also written with a pen, just like Ou Yangxun. As for the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong summoned 24 children of officials with five or more civil and military skills to Hong Wen Library to learn books, and "Yu Shinan and Ou Yangxun taught the method of opening letters". The following year, imperial academy resumed calligraphy, set up a doctor of calligraphy to give lectures, and taught the Book of Songs, Shuowen and Zilin. In addition, there are 20 school booksellers and regular letters. Later, he also participated in the work of purchasing and collecting Wang Xizhi's books in the imperial court, and he was able to see that "there are almost 2,290 books of You Jun, which are packed into 13 volumes and 128 volumes", which is also a great opportunity for Chu Suiliang to learn books. In the history books about Chu Suiliang's political career, every link has its own title, especially the closeness with Emperor Taizong originated from calligraphy.

"Book End" commented on his book: "If Yaotai is green, it will reflect the spring forest. Beauty Chanjuan, not Luo Qi, graceful and restrained, Europe, Jade Xie ". Chu Shu is represented by Fang Ling Xuan Bei and Preface to the Wild Goose Pagoda, especially the Preface to the Wild Goose Pagoda, which he wrote when he was 58 years old. Wang Xuzhou commented: "The pen is thin and energetic, like a century-old vine, flying in the air, and the dregs are empty. I want to be an inch away from the paper, like a clear cloud hanging in the air, a fairy. " He also said: "The Book of Gong Chu seems thin, but in fact it is moist and looks like Gu Zhuo. In fact, it is elegant. The strokes are all in the air, suddenly falling, accidentally touching the paper, the power between the words and the meaning between the pens are inexhaustible." Based on the comments of the past dynasties and the author's experience in learning Chuci Shu, I think that learning Chuci Shu must recognize the following three characteristics of Chuci Shu:

1 dignified and beautiful. This is the first major feature that Chu Kai has been deeply loved by everyone. Dignity is based on its extraordinary ability to conclude words. No matter what monument or column Chukai has, it naturally presents a rigorous and harmonious structure, solemn and full of temple atmosphere. Stroke composition is not far-fetched, straight and symmetrical, full of hibiscus posture; Beauty is the expression of his talent. Chu Kai's slender, tough and agile lines are really beautiful in the square and rigorous structure, but the center of the plane always presents the sharpness of the shadow, which perfectly combines the flesh and blood with the elegance of the author's heart, like a flowing spring running in the forest to repair bamboo, and if a pine tree stands on the mountain, it is like the smiling back of a loving lady.

Chu Kai showed the author's brilliant talent in solving this contradiction, which is probably the reason why the book circle still respects him. Chu Kai's early "Monument to Mencius" is mainly European and French, which is dignified and heavy. Other inscriptions have a natural and smooth, dignified and calm Chu style, which is one of the signs of Chu Kai's maturity. No carving, no decoration, no informality, dexterity and openness, flying with emotion, freedom of entry and exit. The atmosphere is open, the brushwork is concise, the length is appropriate, the intention is moderate, and the pressing is clear. Smooth and absurd, dignified and procrastinating. We can feel this in the preface to the sacred teachings of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Square Monument, especially in the two mimeographs of Yinfu Jing and Ni Kuanzan.

3, straightforward and colorful. If Chu Kai's pen movements in the air are connected, they are basically line or cursive gestures, and the running script is directly used on two ink books. At the same time, in the opening and closing of the knot, the severity is slow, the same word and pen are handled, and they are self-sufficient? 1? 3. Very versatile and changeable. Sometimes it goes straight in and out, and sometimes it goes back to the front to hide its tail; Sometimes firm, sometimes scattered; Sometimes it's a swipe, sometimes it's a pen hook.

Choosing your favorite tablet that conforms to your personal writing temperament is bound to be carefully selected among many newly opened tablets. Beginners should choose a more correct tablet with a large number of words, such as the preface to the holy teachings of Yanta. Those who have a certain calligraphy foundation can choose Jing or Ni Kuanzan's ink book to learn. As for the Monument to Mencius, it is an immature work by Chu Kai, because there are many ways to use it, but it fully shows Chu Suiliang's strong integration and adaptability. Chu Kai has fewer typical strokes and more technical changes, which is suitable for those who have calligraphy experience to learn from. When reading the selected posts, we should pay special attention to understand the artistic characteristics of Chu Kai, find out the similarities and differences between the structure and the pen, classify and analyze the typical radicals, study them carefully, strengthen our memory and improve our eyesight. # r $ | & ampk$?

2. tools. In order to facilitate copying, it is very important to choose and equip tools, so-called "tools that benefit first". The Book of the New Tang Dynasty 108 Biography of Pei Xingjian contains: "Chu Suiliang is not a good writer, and he has not learned a book." According to the author's experience, the ancients said that "those who have the ability don't choose their pens" can't be generalized, especially it is very important to choose good tools in regular script writing to achieve "hand and body".

The method of 8 is copying, and the correct method will get twice the result with half the effort. Proximity is not the same as copying. The so-called near is to write in the face of posts, which can be divided into near and near. The more like the original post, the better. Being near is to take its essence and discard its dross, which is an advanced state of being near and not suitable for beginners. By copying, I mean copying around. Copying is to cover the paper on the original post, outline the outer edge of the stroke by word, form a red book and then fill in the ink; Copying is directly copying the paper on the post. According to the characteristics of Chukai, we chose the method of combining presentation and imitation, and quoted modern scientific and technological means. The specific methods and steps are as follows:

1, original copy. Chukai's neat and diverse structure is not easy for beginners, and copying is the most stupid, laborious and effective way. Choose an impenetrable and familiar poster, and outline the outer edge of the post word by word with a pencil to form hollow characters. When sketching, you can't hurt your friend's strokes, and you can't leave gaps. Paying attention to the similarities and differences between stippling and writing is also a process of strengthening memory. Fill in the ink, tick it into hollow words and copy it. You can use red ink first, then blue ink, then light ink and strong ink. One copy can be filled in at least four times. Fill in the requirements without taking off the thread and leaving no seams, and strive to fill it out in one stroke without repeating it (correct posture and writing are prerequisites). Try to sketch the selected tablet at least once from beginning to end, and the faster you master it.

2. Roger that. You can enlarge and copy the original tablet, cover it with the same size, fix the four corners with pins, or copy it from light to thick. It is required not to print strokes or empty strokes, and the thickness is the same as that of stippling, and not to redraw. To understand and imitate the relationship between stippling and pen movements, repeated operations can go deep. Calligraphy, calligrapher "Y* }# V( w! d! K2 ^) o' v0 m

3. Mi Zige is adjacent to. Press the prepared Mi Zige glass on the stone tablet and align it with the inscription. Whether using the original large or enlarged Mi Zige paper, temporary writing should be done according to the stippling position set by glass MIG. At this stage, we should pay attention to the following key points: the changing law of each character's position, length, thickness, density and weight, and experience the changes and subtle skills of brushwork. Pay attention to the pre-actions such as hiding, revealing, returning, arranging, leaving and opening the pen. Mi Zige mastered the basic structure and pen-using characteristics of Chu Suiliang's regular script in Linqu through his former university, and enlarged it, seeking and mastering its laws and characteristics in repeated training.

These squares face each other. Different from Mi Zige, the box can determine the stroke position of each word, although it can also frame the size of the word, but it is bound to be difficult, and it is a step-by-step learning process, from elementary to advanced. First, choose a square paper with the same size as the original post, and then face the original post face to face. Seek the same size first, and then follow the shape of God. This step requires patience and care, but also needs to read a word, remember a word, read a note, correspond to the heart and hand, and cooperate with the eyes and hands. Of course, the more you look, the better. On this basis, choosing a square paper with the same size and length as the original post for the whole page is not only to cultivate the overall grasping ability, but also to arouse the interest in the post. This is the most skillful step in the post and needs repeated practice to grasp it well. Then, the grid is enlarged. The difficulty in this step is to grasp the transition between the line thickness ratio and the structural polymerization ratio after several magnifications. You can partially copy and enlarge the original post text and compare the differences. If we can enlarge the whole article, it will be more beneficial to future creation.

It needs a high degree of understanding and recognition to support it, and it is also a test of understanding the inscriptions attached to it with the support of the knowledge, knowledge and understanding of the copyist. The first thing to grasp is to reproduce the spirit of the original post, and the second is to expand the main features of the original post or emphasize the temporary writing. Without losing the style of the original post, it has its own understanding and personality. The key is to grasp this scale. I think it's better to have less personality, because it's also a matter of competition, and we can't give up all our efforts by emphasizing personality too much!

Copying is a means, not an end, and creating a book with its own personality is the end. Without the basic training of copying, the so-called innovation is like Gai Lou in the desert. On the contrary, just having the ability to copy without turning it into creation has become what we often call a book slave. Therefore, it is very important to master and learn the method from copying to creation.

In fact, just like the word set, it maintains the structure and pen characteristics of the original inscription, but it is different from the original in content. Less words before more words, and then write the whole article, just to keep the style of the original post, preferably the original post.

First, focus on the main structure and brushwork of Chu Suiliang's regular script posts, and then combine the learning results of similar famous inscriptions with his own temperament. 60% keep the characteristics of Chukai, and 40% borrow other positions, which is very good. Of course, the author needs to be knowledgeable and thoughtful, to get rid of the rough and the fine, to get rid of the false and keep the true, and to achieve this goal with the support of comprehensive artistic literacy.
