Stippling is the most basic element in the glyph structure. Although stippling is not much different from block letters in writing, block letters are actually much more subtle than block letters. Without a certain foundation of block letters, it is difficult to realize the subtlety and subtlety of using a pen in block letters. Lowercase stippling is very diverse in form. According to legend, Zhong You's stippling in lower case is different, and the calligraphy written by the right army is also different. In order to facilitate beginners to master this method effectively and concisely, this paper tries to introduce it in more popular language.
First, the point method
Point plays a very important role in brushwork and plays the role of finishing touch. If you lose a little bit, it will be like a glimpse, which will inevitably destroy the structural beauty of the font. The other seven methods, the pen starts from the point of hair, and it is easy to make mistakes when lost. That's all that matters. Make a point in lower case, and most of it is exposed, which is the characteristic of using a pen in lower case.
The way to do something is very important. The so-called key point is to write quickly, but lightly. As the saying goes, "Everything you do is like falling a stone from the top of a mountain, and it is as real as a collapse." Knock-knock is a powerful sound that describes the collision of stones. Does not represent the actual strength in writing. Any point showing the front is made against the trend in the air, with a sharp edge into the paper, and then the pen is quickly spread out after writing. This is what Wang Xizhi said, "Every point is suspended, making it open and natural." Don't beat around the bush to fill the pen shape.
When you do something, you should gently lift the pen tip with your wrist, then make one or two pauses and then uncover it. Take up the pen quickly, so that the ink can penetrate into the tip of the pen and the back of the paper. So is the so-called "Forbidden Classics". It means deep and calm.
Second, horizontal painting.
Horizontal painting is also called music. The so-called music means getting tighter and tighter. Write in reverse. Review the motor when writing. When writing, be considerate and go against the trend. The so-called "painting like a long cone boundary stone" in Forbidden Sutra means not to be too smooth and superficial.
To write a long painting, we should seek equality in injustice, so that its painting potential is flat and arch, just like overturning a boat. Avoid being flat on the top and flat on the bottom, and the disadvantages of engraving are highlighted. Liu Zongyuan said in "Eight Laws": "Happiness often leads to equality" is what this means.
Horizontal painting is more expensive than change. Chen Yi once said in Hanlin Yaoze: "Every flat painting is like an operator, which will be displayed in the end. If you don't look at horizontal painting, it is calligraphy. " The so-called "no horizontal painting" means that there is no parallel and even, and the engraving is stagnant.
Third, vertical painting
Anyone who writes a vertical painting will see the brushwork when seeking straightness in a curve. The ancients called vertical painting Nufa, which means exerting strength. Li Puguang's "Eight Laws of Xue An" said: "Force is the law, and flexion and torsion are quite powerful. "This is the beauty of a curve full of elasticity and strength, either backward or backward, or backward in the middle, or partially straight and curved, so Liu Zongyuan said in Ode to Eight Laws:" Too much force leads to failure. "That's what it means.
Fourth, long-term skimming
When the dragon left, the ancients called it plunder. Feng Ban's "Blunt Poems" said: "Hair sweeps like a comb. This is an oblique hanging needle, and the front end flies. Send the pen force to the front evenly. You can't hit halfway, so you are weak and thin. " Pretend to plunder, your neck should be thin, your waist should be slightly graceful, you should be fat and have strength. Yan Zhenqing's Ba Fa Fu said: "Pasturing is like fat.
"When you go out, you should use your wrist hair, full and sharp, and you must never make it look like a virtual tip. Liu Zongyuan's "Eight Fafu" said: "Sweep the left, and the front is light. "If so, the thickness of the pen has changed, which is very rhythmic. Because the pen is slightly bent, the nib flies up and tends to turn back. Li Puguang said in "Eight Laws of Snow Temple": "Enough is enough to prey on the author. "Very vividly describes the style of pastoral method.
Five, short.
The ancients called it pecking. Woodpecker is like a pecking bird, sharp and fast, which means it is quick, agile and lively when using a pen. Chen Yi once said in Hanlin Yaoze that nodding your head and leaving your tail slightly to the left is like pecking something with a bird's beak.
Sixth, the selection method
The ancients called it "strategy", which means "strategy" and "strategy". Planning things with a whip, the strength lies in the strategy, and the strength lies at the end of the strategy. "Samadhi in Calligraphy" said: "Strategy, sharpening the pen, moving forward lightly, seems to spur." The so-called profile is a metaphor for taking the side when picking. Liu Zongyuan said in the Eight Laws Fu: "The policy is to cover up for praise.
"Dark exposure is a potential gain in the air, because when writing the pick method, the side front points inward and the front tip tilts upward, which has taken a sideways trend. When you pick up a pen and walk, you stumble and hold it until you collect it, and the front has been integrated into the painting, so it is inevitable that you should not use the pen too fast, which will inevitably lead to the disadvantage of being thin, as the Eight Laws of Anxue said: "It begins with the author and is exposed in front after use. "Stay late to have time to adjust the front.
Vii. si method
The production method of slapping is full of twists and turns, which is suitable for the opening. Li Puguang's "Eight Laws of Xue An" said: "Go through the danger three times and show your strength. "The pen should be cadenced, unhurried and unhurried. When closing the pen, you must draw it to the right, that is to say, when writing the corner, the pen is full and has a horizontal trend. You must use the wrist technique to drive the pen front, gradually frustrated, and lift it while walking until it leaves the paper.
"On Calligraphy" by Emperor Taizong said: "Be proud of it if you want to fight outside the pen." The so-called "full of ambition" means that the pen tip can be included in the painting when it is closed.
Eight, hook method
Hook, the ancients called hook, which means jump. In Chen Si's detailed description of the eight methods, he said, "You must crouch in front of the situation and come out, and then you will receive it secretly.
"The so-called squat is to make a quick pen-pressing action before the hook, just like the semi-squat action before the high jump. The so-called "out of the box" means that after crouching in front, it is quickly checked out at the right time without delay. Peace of mind, you won't fall vertically. When you hook, you should force yourself to the tip of the pen. The hook should be full and don't be afraid to show it.
