Basic stroke writing of official script

The basic strokes of official script are: point, horizontal, vertical, left and right.

How to write a dot: punctuality: point the pen at the front, turn the pen to the lower right after a pause, then turn the pen to the lower left, lift it up gradually, and close the pen to the front.

How to write horizontally: naturally there is no dovetail style. Hidden front into the pen, horizontal style (silkworm head style) is the main brushwork in official script, most of which are exposed by front (dovetail style), but not all horizontal paintings are like this.

The writing method of vertical painting: empty pen, don't stop; Hold on.

How to write a sketch: long sketch, short sketch (winding the front into a pen).

The handwriting of the pen is similar to that of the letter. Press the pen again and lift it gently. Be careful not to show off when writing.

The basic stroke formula for the introduction of official script: the head of silkworm is goose tail, the pen must be 30% off, the geese don't fly in pairs, the silkworm has no two colors, it touches the pitch, and the left is picked and the right is stacked, which is heavy and light, strong and powerful.

Introduction to official script.

Official script is a common solemn font style in Chinese characters. It is generally believed that it is developed from seal script, with wide and flat font, long horizontal painting and short vertical painting, and pays attention to "swallow tail of silkworm head" and "twists and turns".

Lishu was founded in the Qin Dynasty. It is said that Cheng Miao was Li, who reached the peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, inherited the tradition of seal script and started the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which had a great influence on later calligraphy. Calligraphy is known as "Han Li Tang Kai".

There have always been four official scripts, namely Han Zemu, Cai, and Shi, which are equally divided. Among them, Han Zemu is the first of the four, and his official script is represented as the Xishan Monument, while the stone is called the Stone, and the representative is the Dazhi Zen Master Monument, but there are not many works handed down by Cai and Cai.

In addition, the famous official script works in the Tang Dynasty include Xu Chen's Song Yang Guan, Tang Xuanzong's Shitai Xiaojing, Li Bai's Shangjie and Du Mu's Zhang Shi.
