Three methods of reading and appreciating calligraphy works with brush.
Taking famous calligraphers' brush calligraphy works as examples, such as Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection and Yan Zhenqing's Manuscript for Sacrificing a Nephew, can improve the artistic analysis, appreciation and cultivation of calligraphy practitioners. There are three ways to appreciate brush calligraphy works: pure appreciation, analysis and recitation. Come and have a look with me!
Pure appreciation
"Posts teach people to read, not to copy." In a broad sense, what we are looking at here is obviously to teach beginners to appreciate, ponder and feel the excellent inscriptions, so as to win their trust. Calligraphy appreciation is different from painting appreciation. It has no painting image. It creates living works of art through the dancing of words and symbols.
There is a kind of fuzziness when appreciating brush calligraphy works. "As far as the viewer is concerned, it is based on the concept of image and the taste of image. It is not concrete, but it has life. This is abstract, but meaningful. If the image is concrete, then the meaning is lost. Meaning is only in abstraction. " (Contemporary Chen Calligraphy Creation Image) If you get into the habit of appreciating brush calligraphy works frequently, you will experience the breath, style, charm, composition, interest and artistic conception of the original modeling over time.
analyse
For beginners, analytical formula has a direct guiding role. It requires beginners to make rational analysis and research on the bit by bit paintings in brush calligraphy works, and have a comprehensive understanding of its external form and internal artistic conception, so as to truly grasp the style and spirit of brush calligraphy works.
As Song and Huang Tingjian said in "On Books", "It is beautiful to look at people closely." In addition, it is necessary to analyze and understand the background and mood of the author when writing the post, and further study and analyze the similarities and differences between it and other templates with the same font, so as to learn from others' strengths and absorb the advantages suitable for their tastes and turn the past into me.
mnemonics
The purpose of appreciating brush calligraphy works is to make beginners stick to and take off their posts better. It is necessary to repeatedly try to figure out the stippling, knot words, composition and rhyme of the template, be able to master and use it skillfully, and strengthen memory on the basis of understanding.
"The ancients learn books, not often near the wall. When they are fascinated, they follow their wishes when writing. " (On Books by Huang Songting-zhang) I think that the reason why he can follow people's wishes in writing shows that he has carefully observed the book hanging on the wall, and through careful examination, he has reached the corresponding level in composition, knot, meaning and rhyme.
As long as we can appreciate the brush calligraphy works for such a long time and persistently, we will certainly gain something from our hearts and apply it to our hands on the basis of continuous accumulation.
