Introduction to Pen Official Script の Guidance Seal

First, the stippling of pen official script

The writing style of pen official script is basically the same as that of brush official script. Although the lines are thin and stiff, unlike the brush official script, the thickness has obvious Fiona Fang changes, but their spiritual temperament is the same. When writing, you should understand with your heart, and repeated research can lead to results.

(a), the point, the point of seal script is mostly short horizontal or short vertical, which is not obvious. Although the official script is not as colorful as the later official script, it also has many changes and occupies an important position in the whole official script. Compared with regular script, official script is round and muddy in point shape, sharp in front and full of strength. Some people say it is official script. Points are like wooden wedges. It seems reasonable. As shown in the figure below:

Three-part water is different from both seal script and regular script. Three-part water gathers together to form the trend of left opening and right closing, and three-part water should echo the right part. The next four points will be scattered, with uneven length and rich changes. The eight-character point should be in the trend of opening and closing, expanding left and right, echoing and taking care of each other.

(2) As the cornerstones of the square of Chinese characters, Hengkai and Lishu have given Henghua a new mission and characteristics in the process of turning the seal script into a square fold. The horizontal painting of official script can be divided into horizontal painting and wave painting according to its shape, as shown in the following figure:

It is important to remember that "geese don't fly in pairs", that is, each word should have only one key wave. If the two horizontal strokes were horizontal, we should reduce the strokes, and if the last horizontal stroke was wavy, we should let go of the strokes. Because the lower part of the word is pressed as the main pen, the upper horizontal direction should only be applied horizontally.

(3), vertical, vertical is second only to the common strokes of square Chinese characters. According to its shape, the vertical body of Lishu can be divided into two categories: vertical body and right bending vertical body, as shown in the following figure:

Right-bending vertical is mostly used for door characters and characters with symmetrical vertical as the main pen. Sometimes it also appears in words similar to door characters.

Such as the moon, the same, the same, the use, the energy, the purity, the cream and so on. The vertical pen beside the vice is also bent vertically with the right hand, such as the words of virtue, action, service and levy. Li Shu vertical position is widely used, including hanging needle vertical position, hanging vertical position, flat vertical position and round vertical position, which can be carefully understood and used differently.

(4) wave pick, or left, or left. According to its shape, it can be divided into oblique type, curved type and straight type, as shown in the following figure:

The oblique wave is relatively flat, or flat. If you want to bend a wave, stand first and then pick it. The straight wave pick is almost a vertical pen with a pick.

(5), wave, regular script is called Si, its shape is slightly like wave, but its usage is different. According to its function, it can be divided into two types: flat type and inclined type. As shown in the figure below:

Flat waves are mostly twists and turns, with the head slightly higher, flat or slightly to the right. It is often used in words such as walking, walking, walking and feet. Its potential should be flat and its tail exaggerated. Oblique wave disc is used more than flat wave disc, which is mostly used in anthropology, Geke and so on. Its potential should be inclined to bend up and down, and it should be coordinated with the matching departments.

(6) Folding painting generally plays the role of a pair of pens in official script. They are firm and clean, and can be divided into straight folding and oblique folding, as shown in the following figure:

Straight folding is mostly used in closed structures such as mouth, sun, field and moon, and the potential is slightly inward. Oblique folding is mostly used in the right ear and sub-part, and its inward folding potential is stronger than straight folding.

(7) The hook of the hook official script is mostly used as an auxiliary pen, which is used in conjunction with other strokes. It is more rounded and should be subtle and natural, as shown in the following figure:

(8) Pick, the pick (or lift) of official script is mostly used as an auxiliary pen. Its shape is oblique and its potential is oblique and flat. Nothing special. As shown in the figure below:

Second, the writing of pen official script

After mastering the characteristics of stippling in official script, we should further study the writing rules of official script and understand the characteristics of writing. Next, it is analyzed from the following five aspects: the composition of characters, their respective compositions, the dislocation of radicals, the fracture of meaning, and the avoidance of stippling:

(1) The official script as a whole tends to be flat and square, with eight points left and right, clear waves and natural stretching. However, not all official scripts must be written flat, just as the characters in regular script are not square. There are many strokes in Chinese characters. If you want to write naturally, you must change the length and size. This is because of the shape of the characters.

For example, in the poem "Ode to Shimen" written by Hanya, the praise, determination, valley, acceptance, yi, Geng, Ming and stone are characterized by less pens, exaggeration and wave changes, so the characteristics of the horizontal side are more prominent and distinct. As shown in the figure. The words Shu, Yan, Scold, Stone, Yang, Bow, Dragon and Yu have more strokes and more horizontal paintings, so they are narrow and long, and the eight-point potential is not obvious. As shown in the figure. And the words "life, promotion, etc." In Ode to Shimen. Vertical pen is longer, more exaggerated and more interesting. Because of the word, it is not only a simple and exaggerated feature of the combination of words in ode to Shimen, but also one of the characteristics of the combination of words in all Han monuments As shown in the figure below:

(2) The composition of each word in Lishu requires not only the stable center of gravity of each word, but also the radical in each word to exist independently without inclination. This is because it evolved from an independent radical of seal script. As shown below, please, move, lose, fresh, plan, post, gentleman, meaning and so on. Everyone has his own radical, and regular script does not have this feature. If a word can be independently formed into characters up and down, left and right, it will be stable if it is combined into one word. This is the dignified and elegant feature of official script. As shown in the figure below:

(3) The radicals of prose official script can be formed independently and randomly, which is rich and varied, giving people a vivid and touching feeling.

For example, the words "Zhe, Bi, Yi, Jie, Duan, Poison, Qu and Kong" in Ode to Shimen are varied and vivid. If you use the word "zhe", the waves will be broken and staggered, and this move will have more vitality. If you use the word "bi", the wave pick corresponds to the wave shape, and it is quite interesting to click at three o'clock. The meaning of words has changed a lot, but they don't change their original shape, save words, shrink words and put them down. The truncation of words is natural and random, and the poisonous words shrink up and down, which is a lovely contrast. When the word bends, it stretches and contracts, and the trend of left wrapping is obvious. Empty words spread out the treasure cover, completely covered, and have the interest of seal script. As shown in the figure below:

(4) Every word of Chinese characters is written continuously by stippling, therefore, a stroke is generated when writing, stippling and stippling echo each other and are connected by blood. Like regular script, the stippling of official script echoes each other, and there are breaks and connections in the painting, which seems to be broken and connected, and the shape is broken and connected. Although there is no line like cursive script, spirit, interest and interest are closely linked. The strokes are not isolated, they echo each other, take care of each other and cooperate tacitly. Therefore, when we study the official script inscriptions, we must pay attention to the communication of strokes and the echo relationship between strokes, so as to achieve the combination of form and meaning and both form and spirit. As shown in the figure below:

(5) avoid stippling, make every word written in different forms, vivid, vivid and beautiful, pay attention to the relationship between stippling, distinguish between primary and secondary, and have different weights. In the official script, stippling shows more performances, some are restrained, some are indulgent, and each has its own interests; You give in a little, I'll get in a little, interspersed and echoed, and cooperated closely. As shown below, the initials in the upper part converge, and the carriage in the lower part is released, which is represented by waves and elongated. To the word, the upper part is small and the lower part is big. The first transverse position is short and flat, and the second transverse position is wavy. Its characters, big and small, two horizontal lengths, the lower point should be narrowed, and the sub-characters extend vertically to the left and converge horizontally, so the characters are left, lower and upper right, and staggered up and down, which is interesting. The clear word is divided into three parts, and the water is to the left, making the green word to the right. I-shaped words on the left are shortened to power words on the right. Pick up the words, hold hands and merge the right parts of the words.

(6), the change gave birth to the new official script, making good use of the increase and decrease of strokes and the change of glyphs, and the words were peculiar and intriguing. As shown in the figure below, the new Chinese characters turn two points into levels. Straight characters are decomposed up and down, and the middle and lower parts are connected by dots. Left and right missing characters become corresponding straight pictures, vertical characters are saved, the lower part becomes mountain characters, a vertical picture is added to the upper part of the characters, and the middle part of the year characters becomes-horizontal. Leave out the vertical line on the left in this word. The word "teacher" was omitted from the upper left, and a little more was added to the upper right. The right half of Hiroko became a mouth. Add a little more at the top of the original word.
