1, with a sense of rhythm of lines.
If the cursive script is uniform in thickness and rhythmic in lines, it can't give people aesthetic feeling. The so-called cadence, lifting and pressing, is all paper and clouds. Although it is silent, it has a musical melody, which is precisely one of the important reasons why cursive art is loved by people.
Calligraphers in past dynasties paid special attention to the primary and secondary contrast of lines, and often took the strokes that best expressed the calligrapher's personality as the "main pen" to show their unique aesthetic feeling. For example, Yan Zhenqing is full of needles, the Yellow Valley is full of twists and turns, and the vertical hooks in Mi Fei are unique. In addition, there are many contrast techniques, such as size, vertical and horizontal, back to back, tilt, density, thickness, shadow and Fiona Fang.
2. There must be line echo.
The function of echo is to connect the original independent lines into an organic whole. The lines echo, just like the air is flowing, just like being given life.
Traditional calligraphy is called "painting qi" and "blood", so it is better to "echo from beginning to end and connect up and down" For example, Zong Baihua, a modern aesthete, said: "You can look back around, and the yin and yang rise and fall, just like the branches and leaves of a tree, each giving way;" When the running water is mixed, it will come down one after another. "
The famous cursive works are:
1, Four Poems:
Four Ancient Poems is a cursive script written by Zhang Xu in Tang Dynasty. Xuanhe Pu Shu, Inscription and Postscript of Continued Painting and Calligraphy, Shigutang Painting and Calligraphy Collection, etc.
The whole stroke is full, without delicate and slippery strokes. The handwriting is ups and downs, moving and static, full of paper like a cloud, which is really the peak of cursive writing.
2. "readme post":
Self-Narrative Post is a cursive work written by Huai Su, a calligrapher in Tang Dynasty, in the 11th or 12th year of Emperor Taizong. It is a kind of paper and ink scroll.
The Self-Narrative Post is a brief introduction to Huai Su's life, and also records the poems presented by Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Wei and Dai Shulun. The whole article is wild grass, with the pen in the middle, like a cone drawing sand table, vertical and horizontal oblique and straight, and goes all the way.
The whole volume emphasizes the continuous grass trend, turning up and down with the pen, jerking left and right, fluctuating, rapid, light and heavy, full of rules, strange changes and stirring spirit, which is the ultimate expression of cursive art.
3. Li Bai's Poems of Remembering the Past:
Li Bai's Memories of Time Past is a masterpiece in the cursive script of the Northern Song Dynasty. The whole volume is round and unrestrained, as if the horse is out of control and unconstrained, and the whole article dances with dragons and snakes in one go.
The first 80 words of the volume are incomplete. I once said that I have kept Shengjia for many years and have cursive samadhi; It can be seen that this volume was written after the middle-aged and old-aged Tingzhang. This volume of cursive script marks the outstanding characteristics of yellow grass. It is covered with a pen and rolled vertically and horizontally, which complements the poem and complements each other.
