The charm of Zhangcao calligraphy
From the development history of cursive calligraphy, Zhangcao was generally formed in the Western Han Dynasty. His classic work is "Urgent Chapter" written by Shi You of Huangmenling in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, it was both a primary school? Literacy? , is also a standard font of Zhangcao. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the new cursive script, as well as running script and regular script, became fully mature, and Lishu and Zhangcao were replaced accordingly. At that time, in order to distinguish between the old and new cursive scripts, people called the new style? Today grass? In view of the rigorous laws and rules of the old cursive script, it is called? Zhangcao? .
In recent years, the author has gained a new understanding and understanding of Zhangcao, a transitional style of ancient and modern characters, through studying Zhangcao, especially the copying and exploration of Urgent Chapter. It has formed its own unique artistic charm by adhering to the principle of keeping official posts and opening up grass, pursuing seal characters and integrating kai characters, and absorbing all the beauty.
The shape is flat and unique, and the beauty of the official script is highlighted by the wave. Zhangcao is the cursive writing of the official script. Knowing that official script was transformed from seal script, what is the reason for official script transformation? Simplify strokes, draw a circle as a square, and turn it into a fold? Characterized by. In the process of Li change, the shape changed from long to square, and from square to slightly flat. Zhangcao inherited the flat shape and independent characters of Lishu. At the same time, in the strokes, Zhang Cao strengthened the wave, highlighting the most remarkable characteristics of official script? Silkworm head and goose tail? .
The so-called silkworm-headed geese's tail is the most vivid metaphor for the main pen of Lishu (horizontal painting with feet). When starting a pen, the front of the pen is reversed, resulting in the shape of a silkworm head with a slightly thinner waist; When the pen is closed, it is pressed by Dunton's pen and tilted to the upper right, shaped like a goose tail. His strokes are flat and curved, which has the most characteristics of official script and is also the key to writing official script well.
The so-called "wave" actually refers to the skimming and pinching in later regular script. In the eight-character method,? Hey? Also known as? Hey? . The reason why it is called a tomb is that it should be written. Three twists and turns? The trend, the pen should be spread slowly, the front should be tightened and calm. ? Wave? , refers to its left stroke, which is like a curve wave, which is called in the eight methods? Skimming? . The beauty of the wave is reflected in its opening on the left and right, its brushwork is flying like the wings of a bird, and its posture is beautiful, which is an important manifestation of the beauty of the official script.
Zhangcao retains the meaning of Li Fa Li to the greatest extent. For example, from the pen, The Tibetan front is retreating? , pen bearer? Late delivery? . From the change of strokes, do you want? Wild geese don't fly in pairs, silkworms don't? Wait a minute. From the structure point of view, due to the need of grass growth, it is necessary to change the order of lines and strokes or shift parts, but in general, it still retains the left and right structure, up and down structure and surrounding structure of official script. From the form of stroke connection, Zhang Cao often has a circle and then works. Yanwei? Phenomenon, such as? Definitely? Change? Kill? Swim? Hey? Distinguish? . If the first three words are still? Hey? Make it inevitable, and the last three words are? Horizontal? Keep it? Yanwei? Make it what it is. Here, the former is an organic combination of waves and the latter is an organic combination of horizontal and vertical, but in the end, the tail is not abandoned.
Looking at the famous stickers of Zhangcao in the past dynasties, most of them adhered to the main features of official script, permeated with the idea of official law, and showed the unique beauty of official script.
The beauty of opening a model with rich learning, beautiful shape and handsome body, han li gradually started the road of opening a model in the process of grass planting. The former sublates han li's rules and aims to pursue writing speed; The latter is closely linked with the characteristics of han li, and further pursues the beauty of modesty and neatness. In the meantime? Double? In the process, the cursive script intersected and merged, and the running script was produced.
Kaihua is to gradually change the flamboyant wave reduction of official script into the skimming of official script, with regular script strokes such as side (dot), peck (short skimming) and hook (straight hook), and at the same time, official script? Like a figure of eight? (han li? Eight points? Because of this, the font has been improved, and the structure has become more rigorous and beautiful. By the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, regular script had begun to take shape, and Zhong You was its founder. After Wang Xizhi further developed and matured.
In "Urgent Chapter", you found it? People? Water? Fire? Anti? Nine? 、? Mouth? When you wait for more perfect regular script characters, you will see more running script characters. Of course, on the whole, these are still a few of the total number of "Urgent Chapters". However, if we look at the radicals, we can see the images of the regular script from time to time, such as the single-standing person, the hand-holding side, the wooden character side, the three-point water side, the Wang character side and so on. In addition, some characters, except for one or two strokes with the characteristics of regular script, are simply orthodox regular script characters, such as? Law? Both? First? Ting? These are enough to explain the reference of standardized Zhangcao to some aspects of regular script, such as stroke writing and word formation structure.
if you try to read "Urgent Chapter", it is unique in shape, beautiful in end, simple in style, correct in brushwork, and well-founded, which is really a paradigm of cursive writing. Tang Zhang Huaiguan once listed the imperial portrait book as? God product? And comment on its chapter grass? All the characters are the same? , already? Make it extreme? . Here? All words are the same? It is not derogatory, but actually refers to the coherent posture, dignity and beauty, which is a very high realm of calligraphy art.
The simple Zhuang Mu, with the beauty of moving images in quietness, is based on han li, highlighting the ups and downs of the official seal, catching up with the round turn of the seal, borrowing the French style of the model, and creating the flow of grass, so that it will be presented to the world with a brand-new face. It is eclectic, integrating the beauty of wave, curve, dignity and mobility, forming its own unique artistic charm.
The charm of Zhangcao art is embodied in the harmony and unity of contradictions. The wave of official script, the strokes open left and right, and there is a tendency to fly; The arc ring of seal script, with round and soft lines, has the posture of being wrapped inside; The grass is even a genus, and the pen gesture flows around and has a continuous meaning; The French style of the model is square and beautiful in structure, and there are rules for purging. Is this the beauty of Zhangcao? Violate and not commit crimes, and be different? Reflected in the situation.
There are many comments on the morphological images of Zhangcao in ancient classic books. Such as? Animals and enterprises are birds, aiming to fly; If you avoid violence, you will run to the end. (Wei Heng's Four-body Book Potential),? Like a dragon, it is like a dragon. (Dou Yu's Shu Shu Fu).
here? Hey? For the sake of hesitation, I want to do it without looking. Enterprise? In order to stand on tiptoe, everyone moves in silence, but it is still quiet in the end. ? Violent? Is it moving? Late chi? Is it static? Will run? (No, stand) is a static braking image of the freeze. This fully embodies the aesthetic interest of the strokes in the structure of Zhangcao, which are steady and stretching, and the combination of motion and static.
? Wake up? Wake up for the winter,? Extension and resumption? To stretch (move), occupy (static) and keep moving forward (retrace), is this also? Aspiring to fly? The inevitable result. This is a very vivid and wonderful display of the gesture of moving in stillness, moving in stillness, moving in stillness, and repeating into a chapter (composition).
In Zhangcao, simple strokes provide more space for its flow and expansion within the characters. It pursues the past and opens up the present, and it is used by Fiona Fang, and it is written in grass. Although its strokes are implicated, it makes the rotation self-sufficient. In the operation of stroke association, the rhythm and speed of pen and ink are adjusted from time to time. Its words are independent, such as stars and pearls, and the rapidity of writing contains delay, intermittent, fast and slow, and the breath is continuous. The whole chapter has its own natural atmosphere of simplicity, calmness and happiness, and a wonderful classical music is also lingering in the ear. This is the artistic charm seen from the study and appreciation of Zhangcao.
