Second, the reward knot. The stroke method is knotting, and the method varies from shape to shape. Calligraphy, as a line art, its artistry lies not only in the line beauty of stippling, but also in the structural modeling of characters. Simple stippling lines are colorful and varied in calligraphers' works. If strokes are compared to human bones, knots are human skeletons.
If the skeleton grows well, the figure is symmetrical and pleasing to the eye. If the proportion is out of balance, it will be unpleasant. The beauty of the knot is better than the beauty of the strokes. bright
Third, reward rules. We should carefully analyze and study the echo relationship between words and lines, how to lay out the size, length, thickness, completeness and dryness of words, and whether the momentum runs through unity; It depends on the density of the font and whether it is appropriate to leave white space. It is very difficult to understand and master the rules and regulations. It is no exaggeration to say that it really takes time. Kung fu alone may not be enough, but also "understanding."
Fourth, appreciate the artistic conception. Appreciating calligraphy is not only to experience the ingenuity and skill of stippling, structure and composition, as well as inheritance, genre and style, but more importantly, to feel the temperament, emotion and aesthetic pursuit of calligraphers through works. Calligraphers rely on their hands and thoughts to create, while appreciators rely on their eyes and hearts to discover the life and soul contained in their works, which is a kind of re-creation.
From the preface to Lanting, we can appreciate Wang Xizhi's free and easy, and also appreciate his intoxicating enthusiasm when waving; From "Sacrificing a Nephew", I feel Yan Zhenqing's dignified and old-fashioned, and I also sympathize with his grief of losing his loved ones; From Cold Food Poetry, we can see Su Dongpo's extraordinary bearing and taste his helpless desolation and melancholy. The effect of this re-creation depends on the knowledge, cultivation, experience and mood of the viewer.
