Second, there are no two silkworms; Boss's pen is in the main pen position, and more than three silkworm heads are not allowed to appear in one word.
Third, geese do not fly in pairs; You can't have more than three goose tails in one sentence. If there are many horizontal characters, choose the most critical one as the goose tail.
Fourth, stretching left and right; The shape of official script is flat, tight up and down, and the left and right strokes are as long as possible, forming a horizontal trend.
Fifth, accurate up and down; Avoid writing too high and too long, draw more horizontal words, the font should be high, and try to write carefully and compactly. Remember to over-compress and strengthen left-right expansion.
Sixth, the center of gravity is stable; Every word has a center of gravity, and the strokes of the center of gravity must fall on the heavy position and key center point of the word.
Seven, echo each other; Pay attention to echo, look around and cooperate when loading and unloading symmetrical parts.
Eight, heavy turbidity and light clarity; On the left or upper half of a word, the strokes are more dense and lighter, and on the right or lower half, the strokes are less and thinner, but pay attention to overall symmetry.
Nine, the proportion is equal; The top, bottom, left and right are properly matched and evenly distributed, each accounting for one-third or two-thirds, and strive to be stable and equal in proportion.
Ten, jagged and complicated; There are more than three strokes with similar shapes in a word, so we should avoid sameness and rigidity, strive for vividness and variety, moderate density, stability and danger, and unity of spirit and rhyme.
Extended data:
Official script is developed from seal script. Official script is to simplify seal script, turn circle into square and arc into straight.
Structural features of official script;
1. Change the horizontal (left and right) direction instead of the vertical direction of seal script, resulting in flat shape, vertical contraction of strokes and strengthening the horizontal direction.
2. Swallowtail on the head of the silkworm pen This is a typical feature of the official script pen, especially the official script, which is almost always painted horizontally. The so-called "silkworm head" means that in the process of using a pen, the stroke shape formed in the process of starting a pen is written into a shape similar to that of a silkworm head. "Dovetail", that is, press the pen at the pen-receiving place, and then pick the pen obliquely to the upper right.
3. Turning a circle into a square and an arc into a straight are two basic ways to simplify seal script. But if you don't know the circle of seal script, it is not easy to master the side of official script. Because the straight painting or square folding in official script contains the arc potential of seal script, the straight of official script often has obvious ups and downs and is full of vitality. In fact, the brushwork of official script is based on the way of stroke movement.
4. Change the picture to a point and the connection to a break. We know that there is no point in seal script, that is, the point used is just a dot. However, the points in the official script are independent, no longer attached to the painting, and the point methods are increasingly rich, including flat points, vertical points, left and right points, three points (by water) and four points (by fire).
In addition, Lishu also broke many strokes written in seal script, which opened the door to writing. Later, regular script played like this, allowing traces of cohesion between pens, and even breaking the meaning of pens.
5. In seal script, there is no trace of vertical pen lifting according to the change of thickness, while official script deliberately emphasizes the pen lifting action, forming obvious changes in the thickness of stroke trajectory, which is clearly reflected in the three processes of starting, moving and collecting the pen. This is very similar to later regular script.
