Question 2: What does calligraphy mean? Calligraphy is an art form of writing expression in the world, including Chinese calligraphy, Mongolian calligraphy, * * * calligraphy and English calligraphy. Among them, "China Calligraphy" is a unique traditional art of Chinese characters in China. In a broad sense, calligraphy refers to the writing rules of characters and symbols. In other words, calligraphy refers to writing with its brushwork, structure and composition according to the characteristics and meaning of words, making it a beautiful work of art. Chinese calligraphy is an original performance art of Han nationality, which is known as: wordless poetry, dancing without lines; Paintings without pictures, silent music.
question 3: what is calligraphy? calligraphy focuses on "dharma" and calligraphy art focuses on "emotion". Calligraphy "Fa" is the foundation of calligraphy art, serves for calligraphy art and prepares for the development of calligraphy art.. Calligraphy, calligraphy is to express the calligrapher's mind and ideological interest, in order to rise to calligraphy art. There must be "love" in the book. There is no "emotion" in the book, so I can't read it at first sight. Calligraphy art: it is the writing ability that should be based on Chinese characters and use soft pen as a tool to express oneself. Furthermore, it is a kind of writing charm of individuality, expressiveness, humanization and enlightenment. At present, as far as I know, there are two names for calligraphy art, one is calligraphy, and the other is calligraphy. We call it calligraphy in China and calligraphy in Japan. Literally, I personally think that the name of calligraphy is more appropriate than that of calligraphy. Because "law" is a hard rule and "Tao" is a flexible principle, so from an independent point of view, law and Tao have their own connotations, responsibilities and realms. Different concepts, different categories. "Dharma" is a mechanical dead thing without blood and meat. "Tao" is a free and fickle living thing with flesh and blood and affection. "Law" and "Tao" from the social point of view, every society in ancient and modern times and at home and abroad is based on moral standards, not on "law" rules. Laws and regulations are just a tool to serve a high-standard moral society. Laws and regulations only serve to supervise whether everyone's behavior meets the requirements of social morality, and laws and regulations only guarantee the good development of morality, and morality is a good embodiment of society. Art comes from life, and it is the same as the common sense of life. From this, the truth of calligraphy and calligraphy is the same as above. "Law" cannot override art, nor can it be regarded as the standard of art. There is still a layer between them. Once the law is recognized and accepted by people, everyone can do it according to the "law" to operate and live. However, the mastery of Tao is flexible and changeable, and it can't be controlled by anyone who wants to control it. It takes people with cultivation, experience and courage to achieve a realm. Different people, different accomplishments, different experiences and different courage have different realms. However, the Basic Law remains unchanged. "Tao" is the covering word of art, and art is the biochemistry of Tao, that is, Tao, and it is a road, and the road is inaction and intangible. I'm not saying that China's calligraphy is not as good as Japanese calligraphy. Actually, it's not. Our China's calligraphy is still developing its art according to the maximization of Taoism. Our calligraphy is also shouldering its artistic mission, not inferior. It's just a different name. Chinese characters belong to China, Chinese culture is the local culture of China, and calligraphy art is the quintessence art of China, so it goes without saying that its development strength is strong or weak. Qi Baishi, a master of calligraphy and painting, also said: The avenue is vertical and horizontal, so go boldly. It's really true. However, there is no such thing as "wild fox Zen" on the road of calligraphy art. The so-called "wild fox Zen" means that some people think that there is no reason to write, that is, whether there is a historical source of brushwork, lines and composition. If there is no source of family school, it looks unfamiliar, and it is all "wild fox Zen". Because there is a saying in the Book of Music that "there is a reason to write", that is to say, it comes from that school or is like that school. In short, that's what it means. In fact, it doesn't matter. What matters is whether your calligraphy art can be touching or not, and whether it can shock the audience with vitality is very important. If you can't reach this point, it means that the next pen has a source or is like Zhang San Li Si, which is meaningless. It is pale and powerless, and it is also grasping the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon. However, some people cling to the historical views that should have been eliminated long ago, but they are still self-righteous, high above the clouds, and they judge other people's works. They don't see the reason for writing, or even he can't understand this, and they think it is "wild fox Zen" that is not in line with the rules. Actually, it's not. According to the theory of "invisible avenue", there is no "wild fox Zen". Personally, I think that the theory of "wild fox Zen" is a conservative concept and a curse that restricts development. If it is unintentional, it is a difference in cultivation and understanding between people; If it is intentional, it is jealous of others' selfishness and their own morality. Today's calligraphy art is different from that of a hundred years ago. Today's calligraphy art serves the whole society, not one person or a few people. One person or a few people cannot represent the whole society. Human > >
Question 4: Ask someone who knows calligraphy for advice. What do these four words mean? "Watching the sea and listening to the waves". Idiom: Watch the beauty of the sea and listen to the sound of the waves. It means a state where you stay out of it after success and don't take it as a pleasure.
question 5: what do you mean by the level of calligraphy and painting? What does it mean to be opposite? The flat ruler of calligraphy and painting works is a square ruler; For example, a 4-foot poster (a whole piece of rice paper) is 2 square feet wide and 4 square feet long, which is 8 square feet, which is 8 square feet.
"folio" means to divide a whole page into two halves. Note that there are many specifications for a whole poster (the length is 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 feet and 2 feet). There are also two kinds of "folio": according to the length of the folio, into two "dou Fang"; Split by width to form two "banners".
question 6: what is the basis of calligraphy? What are its requirements? Traditionally, it is believed that we should start with Tang Kai, and practice going south, Bei Bei, han li and Qin Zhuan on the basis of writing regular script in reverse time. Another idea is that starting from the immature characteristics of young people's hand muscles, we can start with Qin Zhuan, which has little change, and start from cursive script to regular script. These two concepts have their own reasons. However, I think the hard pen calligraphy we learn is fundamentally different from the brush calligraphy mentioned above, so we can't follow its practice methods, let alone be confused by the traditional concept of learning brush first and then learning hard pen. Hard pen is widely used now. If you can't write Chinese calligraphy well, you can still write it well. There is no need to take a detour.
which font should I practice hard pen writing? In my opinion, starting from the characteristics of young people's hand muscle development and the characteristics of uniform strokes and less changes in hard-pen calligraphy, we should start with fonts that do not require fast or slow strokes and light or heavy changes. It is best to print in bold type. The beauty of this font is mainly manifested in its structure. We can master the structure of the font by trying to figure out and analyze the bold type. On this basis, we can choose our favorite font and practice hard according to our own personality and hobbies.
2. what should I practice when practicing Chinese characters?
first of all, practice your eyes, that is, read the posts carefully. Huang Tingjian, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, said: "Ancient people didn't all learn to write by copying. They often hung ancient calligraphy works on the wall, watched them intently, and didn't write until they were sure." Ou Yangxun in the Tang Dynasty found the tablet written by Suo Jing in the Jin Dynasty, and couldn't bear to leave, so he just sat down and read the tablet for three days. The more posts you read, the higher your eyesight will be, and you will know how to write. There is an idiom called "the eye is superior but the hand is inferior". I think: the eye height is the premise of the hand height. If you can't find beauty and don't know what beauty is, let alone create beauty. Many students think that scribbling is the so-called running script, and the reason why they regard ugliness as beauty is that they "have low eyes and low hands".
Secondly, we should practice our brain or mind. On the basis of careful observation, we should keep the well-written model characters firmly in mind and engrave their glyphs deeply in our brains. Whenever the word is mentioned, we can immediately figure out the shape of the word on the copybook. Do it with confidence and words in your mind.
Third, practice your hands. Practice your eyes and brain to find out how to write words. You can think of the best effect of words in your heart, but you may not be able to write it in your hand, because your brain may not be able to command your hand, and your hand may not be able to command your pen. Practicing hands is to achieve the consistency of mind and hand, and the consistency of handwriting, so practicing hands is also very important. Hand training is mainly about finger strength, wrist strength and hand feeling. If you write for a long time, you will feel your fingers ache, your wrists will be sore, your hands will not listen to you, and this phenomenon will disappear if you exercise more. Students who often help teachers copy questions on the blackboard and students who run blackboard newspapers often write quickly and well. This is how their finger power and wrist power are trained. We should also pay attention to practicing the sense of touch, so that the brain can command the hand, feel that the pen has become a part of the hand and an extension of the hand. The hand can command the pen easily, think fast, think slow, think light, think heavy, and write what kind of effect you want.
Fourth, practice the structure, because the key to practicing Chinese characters is to master the structure of Chinese characters. The structure of a word refers to the ratio of the length of strokes and the relationship between the strokes. Xie Xiaodong sang in the song "China People": "The favorite character is the square character taught by Mr. Wang, and the square character should be like him ..." "Square character" summarizes the structural characteristics of Chinese characters. Mastering the structure of Chinese characters, I have written boxy and beautiful bold characters, and I can write Chinese characters in various fonts, such as Song Ti, Wei Ti, Kai Ti, Imitation Song Ti, Pang Ti, Sima Ti and Li Shu, by slightly changing the strokes. If you can't master the structure of Chinese characters, no matter how to modify and beautify the strokes of Chinese characters, they are ugly and ugly. Therefore, mastering the structure of characters and writing bold characters well is the key and foundation to practice all fonts well.
Fifth, practice strokes. Many students have practiced calligraphy. Since they started practicing regular script, they have forgotten many rules of writing, only remembering the pen. As a result, the words written are cumbersome and like ghost symbols. I advocate that we practice from bold type, grasp the font, and cancel the pen. Below I will introduce several common strokes and the common faults that most students have when writing these strokes:
① At one o'clock, the pen is transported from the upper left to the lower right, and there is a process of transporting the pen. Note that "dots" are also long and cannot be made into dots.
② stroke horizontally and equally from left to right. The key is to be "horizontal and flat", not to be high at one end and low at the other, or to be wavy. The length should be controlled according to the font of the square characters, not too short or too long.
③ vertical, with the pen running vertically from top to bottom. Key ... > >
