In cursive script, "the pen breaks the connection with the meaning" and "the thread leads the thread" are two important writing techniques. So let's take a look today at how Sun Guoting handled it.
Broken strokes are a relatively typical stroke in "Shupu". It is a special way of connecting strokes in cursive script, that is, "breaking the strokes to connect the meaning". Although the handwriting is not connected together, the meaning of the strokes is relatively coherent, and the ending of the previous stroke echoes the beginning of the next stroke.
When we are writing, we should focus on the subtle traces of pointillism conversion. At the same time, we must also understand that these traces are produced unintentionally, so they need to be deliberately trained until they are naturally generated.
Many people often do not explain the relationship between these strokes very clearly, and use a passing approach to deal with them, which makes the brushwork appear rough. To measure the quality of a work, these details play a very important role.
The internal and external structure of the characters in "Shu Pu" basically follows Wang Xizhi's method. Generally, they do not adopt completely closed forms, but use "broken" methods, such as "Picture" and "Round". , "四" and other characters are all written in two strokes in the outer frame, which are not connected to each other, and the lines of the outer frame are neither square nor round, which is lively and natural.
Threading is a difficult technique in cursive script. The difficulty lies not in the brushwork, but in the difference between threading and stippling. After all, string pulling cannot be regarded as stippling, it is just the connecting part between two stipplings. Therefore, the connection between strokes, especially the connection between words, must take into account the importance and implicitness, and cannot overwhelm the focus.
The words "乐志" and "真大" are connected in a special way, with breaks in the connection. The last stroke of "乐" is connected with the horizontal stroke of the word "Zhi", which is tightly connected, but the upper and lower parts of the word "Zhi" itself are "broken".
The connection between the two characters "Zhen Da" is similar to this, except that the upper and lower parts of the character "Zhen" are "broken", and the last stroke of the character "Zhen" is horizontally aligned with the character "大" The painting is connected with the book.
