What should we pay attention to in hard pen calligraphy?

Hard pen calligraphy is both practical and artistic. Learning hard pen calligraphy should not only pursue artistic level, but also pay attention to its practical value. We should put practicality in the first place and improve learning interest and efficiency, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.

To write hard-pen regular script well, we should mainly start from two aspects, namely, using pen and writing (inter-frame structure). Hard-pen regular script pen is mainly used to write basic strokes, in addition to understanding and mastering some commonly used professional terms. The following are briefly described respectively.

First, the main points of writing basic strokes

In traditional calligraphy, the writing requirements of basic strokes are always complicated and profound. I summed it up with a simple and easy-to-remember formula: "Tilt, upright; Get out of the way and hurry up. " The explanation is as follows:

"Horizontal Oblique": Due to human visual error, horizontal painting is generally slightly inclined to the upper right, which is easy to gain momentum. Break the wrong concept of "horizontal and vertical" and change the original writing style with an epiphany. "Vertical": Vertical is often the backbone of a word. To make a word stand like a prose, you must write it straight, but pay attention to seeing it straight in the song. There are hanging needles hanging down. I found that hanging the needle is often used in the last stroke of a word, closing the pen, and hanging it to the next stroke. "Skimming the front": Skimming the front is the wing of a word. Only when the front is elegant will there be smart beauty. Pay attention to symmetry when writing, not one high and one low. Skimming is like the hands or feet of human body, which has the beauty of twists and turns. Be sure to write your feet when you draw.

"Point quickly": the point is the eye of a word, and the small point also contains the rhythm of ups and downs. Remember the effect of making the finishing point, and when you write, you should focus on it and emphasize a quick word. Can't delay, write a short paragraph. When writing, you should fly into the air and take off, like a chicken eating rice, up and down. There are oblique points, vertical points, left points and left points. Among them, only when you use a pen, you should pay attention to it first and then light it, while others should pay attention to it first. In addition, in the practice of basic strokes, we should strengthen the cultivation of the three-step rhythm of starting, writing and receiving. Write it down and count one, two and three in your mind. It's easy to get the result.

Second, the writing essentials of bookshelf structure

The research of frame structure has been fully prepared in ancient and modern times. It is not only easy to understand, but also unforgettable and has achieved remarkable results.

"Words are like people", and the formal beauty of words has something in common with the beauty of human body. The human body consists of body cavities and limbs. The beauty of the human body is dynamic and static, standing like a pine, sitting like a bell, lying like a bow and walking like the wind. All these formal beauty are similar to the formal beauty of words. Therefore, when learning Chinese characters, we should be flexible, appropriate and compact.

I use the following words to refine the complex rules of shelf structure: "Close left and right, align up and down; The strokes do not fight and are evenly arranged; The same strokes are different, and a word has a key point. " The brief explanation is as follows: "near left and near right";

Words with left and right structures should avoid each other, the middle strokes should be close, and the strokes on both sides can extend outward. Write small on the left and highlight on the right. Including left, middle and right structures, such as board, dialect, river, Xu, tree and micro.

"Up and down should be aligned": the characters in the upper and lower structures, whether wide or narrow, should be aligned with the center of gravity, and the center of gravity should be on the same line. For the determination of the center of gravity, I think: ambigrams's center of gravity is on the Chinese painting, such as: heavy, treasure, south, painting and other words on the vertical painting; Another example is the focus of the words window, home and painting on the painting. The center of gravity of asymmetric characters is at the intersection, such as "each, important, inclusive, life and so on": the stippling of regular script should be orderly distributed, patchwork and non-overlapping. For example, a person's face has regular facial features and clear eyes. When writing, pay attention to avoiding pens, so as to avoid repeating pens and failing to hand in pens. Words that are easy to fail, such as: give, meal, pick up, etc. "Uniform arrangement" means that the strokes of a word are evenly distributed, closely spaced and elastic.

For example, the word "quantity" should be drawn horizontally at equal intervals; The vertical painting of the word "Zhou" should be equally spaced, and the three strokes of the word "Shan" should change symmetrically.

"Different strokes": Calligraphy pays attention to the beauty of nature, and there are differences in words or strokes in a work, just like two identical trees can't be found in a forest, and two identical leaves can't be found on a tree. For example, pay attention to the length and direction of the same pen. For example, the horizontal length of "beauty" is different, and the direction of "Xu" is different. "One word has a key point": everything has a primary and secondary point, and calligraphy also pays attention to the primary and secondary points. A word always has one or three prominent key strokes, which generally require stretching and straightness. In order to highlight the key points, other strokes should generally be written in a convergent way. Such as: three, see, divide, forever, life and so on.

Three, a brief description of commonly used calligraphy terms

Understanding and mastering the commonly used calligraphy terms is conducive to overcoming common faults, getting rid of bad habits and improving the artistry of hard-pen calligraphy.

"Three twists and turns": refers to the ups and downs of painting from the beginning, strokes and strokes when writing, like water waves. It also requires us to show a sense of rhythm of one, two and three when practicing basic strokes.

"Swallows don't fly together": It means that if a word has two graphs (points), it usually needs to be processed, only one graph is kept, and one graph is written as a point. In calligraphy, si is often written as a dot, which meets the requirement of avoiding similarity. Such as: sen, zi, self, zi, ran.

"Getting straight into the fun" means that when writing vertical paintings, it is not straight blindly, but straight in the process. Just like the back of the human body, although there is a bow, it feels straight and can show some strength, otherwise it is straight and particularly inclined. Such as: China, city, no, health, and so on. "Similarity": in a word, its meaning is equivalent to "the same pen is different"; In a work, we should avoid completely consistent brushwork and try to change, but pay attention to unity and harmony in the overall style.

"Breathability" means that every closed space in the word should naturally leave a gap and keep intercommunication, so that breathing can be smooth. Just like every room in architectural design has doors and windows, so that the inside and outside of the space can be connected. Such as: mouth, eyes, China, country, communication and so on.

"Pen breaking meaning": It means that the ins and outs of strokes of a word should be clearly explained, and the strokes are naturally connected and have deep feelings. Such as: mind, city, books, learning, etc. ; In a work, it is necessary to do it in one go and have a smooth breath.
