Based on regular script, a font between regular script and cursive script is developed, which makes up for the shortcomings of slow writing speed of regular script and illegible cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence.
In the process of writing, the brush strokes are obviously manifested in various forms of stippling. This brush stroke often leaves a delicate trace between stippling and characters, which is silk thread.
2. Grass
Formed in the Han Dynasty, it evolved on the basis of official script for the convenience of writing. It is characterized by simple structure and continuous strokes. The cursive script is divided into Cao Zhang and today's grass, and today's grass is divided into big grass (also called crazy grass) and small grass, which feels beautiful in madness.
Cursive script is a kind of character with simple structure and omitted strokes. It is the most symbolic style to use stippling as the basic symbol to replace radicals and a part of the text. The strokes are connected and echo each other, which is convenient for writing quickly and expressing the writer's feelings.
3. Hollow fonts
It gradually evolved from official script, becoming more simplified and more horizontal and vertical. 1-3 cm in small print (small print), 5 cm or more in large print (large print), and the middle in Chinese characters.
Regular script refers to Tang Kai, which gradually matured after the Tang Dynasty. Its representatives are Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Qi in the early Tang Dynasty, Yan Zhenqing in the middle Tang Dynasty and Liu Gongquan in the late Tang Dynasty. We often say that the four masters of regular script "Yan Liu Ou Zhao", the first three are all from the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, regular script reached its peak.
4. Li
Li Shu, including Qin Li and Han Li. From the development of seal script, it is to simplify seal script, turn circle into square and arc into straight.
In seal script, there is no trace of the vertical lifting of the pen, while the official script deliberately emphasizes the lifting, which forms a significant change in the thickness and inheritance of the stroke trajectory, and the three processes of starting, walking and collecting the pen are clearly reflected. This is very similar to later regular script.
5. Seal and seal
Seal script is a general term for big seal script and small seal script. The brushwork is thin and powerful, with many straight lines. There are Fang Bi, round pen and sharp pen, and there are many "hanging needles" for writing.
Seal script is the earliest script, and its brushwork is relatively simple compared with other scripts. The knot of seal script is decorative. Therefore, "calligraphy begins with seal script, and learners learn seal script first." The style of seal script is serious and the cloth is rigorous. Learning seal script can avoid the problems of weakness, vulgarity, shortage and inclination. "
Extended data
Calligraphy is a line modeling art, and the so-called brush strokes mainly talk about how to shape ideal lines.
Every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: input, writing and receiving. There is a method of "revealing the front" when entering the pen, so that the beginning of the stroke is sharp or square. There is a method of "hiding the front", in which the front enters the pen, the horizontal painting wants to be straight first, and the vertical painting wants to be down first, so that the front of the pen is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically round. Frame structure is more important than stippling. The stroke characteristics of words with good spacing are not prominent.
Sticking is a necessary means to practice calligraphy well. Start with regular script or official script, and master various brushstrokes before learning other calligraphy styles.
