Basics of calligraphy: "dot" writing method of Chinese character strokes commonly used in cursive fonts

In calligraphy in daily life, many of us know "dot" and have just mentioned it a little bit. But in fact, in cursive writing, the writing method of "dot" is very particular. Let's take a look at it with me. Bar.

Commonly used Chinese characters contain three dots.

In cursive fonts, this article introduces commonly used Chinese characters that contain three dots, including: Suo, peak, body, end, setback, attitude, heart; the connection of strokes in cursive fonts is also reflected in the use of dots. For example, three points of water are connected to form a vertical painting, with the tail end pointed upward to the right. It can also be written in a vertical shape that does not point upward. Calligrapher Sun Guoting practiced the "dot" strokes of cursive calligraphy more carefully, and explained all three points.

The three points of the Chinese characters "Ti" and "Feng" are written in the same way. The first point is written separately, and the last two points are connected, but they all echo each other. The writing methods of "suo", "peak", "setback" and "state" are all similar. The lead relationship is clear.

However, the writing method of writing the Chinese character "心" with the brush is relatively open. After the first point is exposed and the point is round, the point is then turned to the lower right and then to the lower right. After a slight pause, it is raised to the right and then turned to the point. , pause the stroke and then move forward and close to the left. The whole process is clear, the rhythm is distinct, and the form is also good.

Commonly used Chinese characters contain two dots

In cursive fonts, this article introduces commonly used Chinese characters that contain two dots, including Yi, Xiao, Ying, Bu, Remonstrance, writing; the two strokes of the Chinese character "Yi" are written as two vertical dots, which appear very vivid. The two points bow to each other. The first point starts the pen and the pen is forward, and the pen is closed to hide the edge; the second point is both forward and closed, and there is mutual interaction. change. Although the two dots of the Chinese characters "小" and "英" are separated by vertical paintings, they look at each other and connect with each other.

The Chinese character "日" was originally written below the inscription, but here it is treated with two vertical dots, which exactly echo the two dots on the top of the grass, which not only saves strokes, but also coordinates and unifies. The two points of the Chinese character "Jian" are one vertical point and one long oblique point, which not only changes, but also highlights the momentum and forms a balanced trend.

Commonly used Chinese characters include a stippled writing style

Commonly used Chinese characters that include a stippled writing style in cursive script include Jin, Fen, Yun, Hu, Xie, and Jing; the dot of the Chinese character "hu" is a dot written horizontally, the dot of the Chinese character "xie" is a dot written vertically, and the rest are dots written obliquely. Among them, the starting and ending strokes of the character "partition" both reveal the tip of the pen, and the dot of the Chinese character "jin" hides the tip, reflecting different shapes.

In addition, because one of the characteristics of the cursive font for practicing brush calligraphy is that dots and strokes are connected, many strokes are omitted, and dots are used instead of paintings. For example, the radical "亠" of the Chinese character "jin", the radical "yan" of the Chinese character "xie", and the radical "灬" of the Chinese character "憁" are all written in one point, which is very concise.

It is of great benefit to practice the writing characteristics of "dot" strokes in the cursive font of brush calligraphy and to deepen the understanding of the processing connotation of dot painting. The stippling of wild grass is like a horse flying in the sky, or like flying flowers and scattered snow. Some stippling is like an old tree with dead vines, a waterfall, and a spring. Its charm is endless.
