The first feature: Feng Feng mainly uses pens.
Wang Xizhi's running script often uses a bone pen to cut gold and break jade, and it is often sharp to open and close the pen. Yan Xingshu pen is multi-purpose, and the nib is wrapped in the pen belly. When it enters the paper, it is blunt, has no angle, moves like a mill, rolls on the paper like a cone, and the nib is invisible.
Throughout Yan Zhenqing's running script, the composition is very harmonious and natural, no matter how to use a pen, knot words and get angry. With the ups and downs of feelings, the rhythm of writing moves from slow to fast, or from sudden to slow, or the blank caused by the pause in the middle of the post is reflected in the linearity of the whole article, which will not make people feel exaggerated and boring, but also produce rhythmic beauty with the density of local ranks.
The second feature: the circle is much more folded than the square.
In the turning point of Yan calligraphy, more squares become circles, but they are often only used as decorations. In the layout of Qi, these characters with different postures seem to be penetrated by an invisible main line. Bring out the best in each other, * * * together form a group of gorgeous notes.
The third feature: there are drums on both sides.
Yang-style running script follows the structural characteristics of Yang-style regular script, which is different from Wang Xizhi's inner painting and Huang Tingjian's spear halberd, but protrudes to both sides like a drum.
Generally speaking, Yan Zhenqing's running script is steady and powerful. The vigorous development of this well-developed book has influenced future generations. His calligraphy is careless and seemingly ups and downs, but in fact his brushwork is exquisite and "passive everywhere", which can be described as ingenious and unique, without losing the norms of Wei and Jin dynasties everywhere, and the rhyme of each word contains a unique style.
Mastering the above three typical characteristics, we will grasp the "bull's nose" and the main contradiction, and we will be more powerful. I hope you can forward it to a friend in need.
