It is necessary to slow down the front and the back. The shape of the font is like a dragon and a snake, which are connected continuously, but the edges and sides still need to be undulating. The pens should not be flush or of the same size.
Zhu Lvzhen was a calligrapher during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. The name is Xianyun, also known as Xianquan. People from Xiushui, Zhejiang. Zhao Wei's "Preface to the Essentials of Calligraphy" says: "Xianyun worked on calligraphy in cloth clothes. He tried to compile an article of "The Essentials of Calligraphy". He thought deeply about ancient methods and expressed his intention. He studied it carefully in Sun Guoting's "Calligraphy Genealogy". Corroborate and analyze subtle fluctuations, discover the secrets of the past sages, and serve as a basis for later generations to learn from."
Many people who practice calligraphy in ancient and modern times regret that they have not been able to obtain the "Qiu Mei" wonderful thing. The reason why "enchanting" is difficult to achieve is that, in addition to the skill of the calligrapher and other factors, the main reason why many people do not know how to achieve both enchanting and charming effects seems to be the main reason. In "Short Essences of Calligraphy", Zhu Lvzhen seems to have revealed the truth, saying, "The pen is square and the power is round." If the strokes are square, the strokes will be strong and strong; if they are not square, the strokes will be weak; if the strokes are round, the charm will flow; if they are not round, the strokes will be loose and stagnant. Once you have mastered the essence of the word "Qiu Mei", you can then make your stipples plump and boney, thin and smooth. If you want to achieve the beauty of "Qiu Mei", it is something that is impossible to achieve. Those who devote themselves to the art of calligraphy throughout the ages are like the stars on a summer night, while those who can enjoy fame in future generations are like the few morning stars. Why does this happen? Zhu Lvzhen pointed out that the level of calligraphy achievement is restricted by six conditions, namely temperament, talent, acquisition of the law, copying, kung fu, and recognition. After reading this calligraphy theory, you will know how to consciously use and create favorable conditions to better study the art of calligraphy.
