"Preface to Lanting Collection" describes the beautiful scenery of green mountains and green waters around Lanting and the joy of party activities, and expresses the sigh of the creator that life and death are impermanent. The basis of the spread of the law post, * * * 28 lines, 324 words, composition, structure, techniques are very extreme, which is the harvest of his 40-year-old reading. Preface to the Lanting Pavilion has beautiful word formation, overlapping mountains and emerald green, and various forms. It has a myriad of gestures, taking the pen as a defense, taking the pen as a beautiful edge, sometimes deliberately hidden, and sometimes prominent. The 20 "Zhi" characters in the post are all unique in posture, different in writing style, or steady in stretching, or convergent in hiding, or posing as letters, or flying smoothly, thus achieving diverse and unified expression effects. When it comes to holding a pen, there seems to be nothing to do. In composition, the principle of qi runs through the whole line, and the intimacy is proper, and the virtual and the real are born together. Within a word, the strokes of the word are flesh and blood, and the film is continuous. Some words and pens are disconnected.
Font styles are changeable: distance, size, length, size, depth, dry and wet, close, back-to-back, virtual and real, such as caring, jagged, fat and thin, encircling, suppressing, positive and strange, ups and downs, etc., and the scenery is beautiful, which makes people feel overwhelmed and has obvious sense of regularity. At the same time, the whole line of regulating qi runs through: regulating qi refers to inheriting the end of a word and the beginning of the next word, connecting the preceding with the following, following the main pulse and taking advantage of the trend. The scheme of the head and tail of a line and the middle of the line is also intimate and appropriate, combining static and dynamic. Cloth white adopts the method that even if there is no horizontal row, the lines are very close and echo from beginning to end. The density of each row is similar, occasionally loose and tight. The lengths of 360 lines match each other and the levels overlap. Try your best to change the structure, not seeking fairness, focusing on the side, not seeking symmetry, focusing on concession, not seeking balance, and focusing on comparison.
From beginning to end, the brushwork is like a support, the roof is downward, bright and clean, the shape is broken and vivid, and the east wind is free and easy. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Dong Qichang said in "Essays on Painting Zen Rooms": "The Preface to the Lanting Pavilion of the Right Army is the first in history, and its words, big or small, are in the law, so it is immortal." There are four advantages: first, pen and ink convey feelings: for example, in the third line, "the sages arrive, but there is little salt", which has a great charm of joy and loss; And the last word of "people", "swimming" and "moving" is like a winding willow leaf, bending gracefully against the rain. This abstract pen-and-ink wireframe vividly presents the pleasure of discovering the beauty of nature, but it is immersed in the realm, with heart and heart. Second, the design of the knot has its own attitude; Third, the pen is changeable; Fourth, the layout of rules and regulations is reasonable.
