Laughter is a very common and distinctive font in China's calligraphy, which is more decorative and artistic in cursive script. Let's follow the steps to introduce you to the cursive writing of laughter.
Step 1: Write "forest" in cursive.
The first part of the cursive smile is "Lin", which is written as follows: first draw a horizontal line as the upper part of "Lin"; On the left side of the cross, draw a diagonal line and tilt it up to the right; On the right side of the horizontal line, draw a vertical line, flush with the horizontal line; At the lower right of the hard line, draw a diagonal line inclined to the lower left; Finally, draw a diagonal line inclined to the lower right and connect the horizontal line above with the diagonal line at the lower right.
Step 2: write "knife" in cursive.
The second part of the cursive script is "knife", which starts from the lower right of the horizontal line and inclines to the lower right: the bottom of the knife is on the left side of the diagonal line, leaving a long stroke above the diagonal line.
Step 3: write "bamboo" in grass.
The third part of the cursive script is "bamboo", which is written as follows: first draw a winding bamboo branch, starting below the "forest" and ending above the "knife". One end of the bamboo branch leans to the right, leaving a short rod as a twig.
Step 4: write "mouth" in cursive.
The last part of the cursive word "smile" is "mouth", which is written as follows: write a word "mouth" on the upper right of the bamboo branch, and the horizontal line is inclined to the upper right; Draw a vertical line inclined to the right on the right side of the mouth; Draw a diagonal line at the lower right of the vertical line to connect the horizontal line with the vertical line above.
Then, by combining these four parts, we can get the decorative and artistic laugh characters of cursive script. The cursive smile is simple and natural, with smooth lines and strong overall aesthetic feeling. Especially in calligraphy works, it can greatly enrich the artistic sense and interest of the works.
In a word, the cursive writing of laughter is not complicated, but it takes practice and patience to achieve perfection. Only by practicing more and constantly improving your writing skills can you shine in the field of calligraphy art.
Chen Changzhi's seal cutting, writing, interpretation and five bamboo smiles in Qing Dynasty.
This word is missing. Private Miao cut [Note] Chen Xuan et al. Case: Sun Yi quoted Shuo Wen: "Ye. From bamboo to dogs. " Did not explain its meaning. Today all customs follow dogs. Another example: Shuo Wen, published by Li, means that bamboo moves with the wind and its body bends like a smile. Unknown test. Article 144, weight 15.
Vernacular version of laughter, telling stories and explaining words.
Laughter, the word was not originally in Shuo Wen Jie Zi, but was attached later. [Note] The case of Chen Xuan and others: Sun Yu quoted Shuowen as saying: "Laughter is the sound you make when you are happy. The glyph uses the meaning of' bamboo dog'. " However, Sun only quoted, but did not explain the meaning of "laughter". Now common words all use the meaning of "bamboo dog".
You Chenxuan and others also wrote a story: in Shuo Wen published by Li, the word "smile" adopted the meaning of "bamboo and death", explaining that when the bamboo forest meets the wind, the bamboo body will bend like when people laugh. But I doubt whether this explanation is reasonable and reliable.
