Introduction to brush calligraphy
Introduction to brush calligraphy , is based on the basic stroke "right point" as the basis of strokes, and follows the advanced order of strokes: point? horizontal? vertical? left-over? hook? pick? fold, step by step, detailed analysis of strokes, strokes, strength, and energy Dao and using ink and other mental methods. It allows beginners to fully understand the characteristics of the brush, control the brush flexibly, and become familiar with the basic brush operation methods of Yongzi Bafa in a short period of time. With the analysis of ten basic font structures, they can understand the essentials of font combinations, draw analogies, and gradually get into the knowledge of calligraphy. Infinite wonder.
The Four Treasures of the Study The basic tools for learning calligraphy are: pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. These are what we usually call the Four Treasures of the Study.
Classification of brushes
According to the raw material of the brush, it can be divided into: fetal hair brush, wolf brush (wolf hair, i.e. weasel hair), rabbit shoulder purple hair brush (purple hair), deer hair brush, chicken hair Pens, duck hair pens, woolen pens, pig hair pens (bristle pens), mouse hair brushes (rat whisker pens), tiger hair brushes, ox ear hair pens, stone badger hair brushes, etc., with rabbit hair, sheep hair, and wolf hair being the best.
Based on the commonly used sizes, brushes can be simply divided into: small regular script, medium regular script, and large regular script. Larger ones include screen pens, joint pens, fighting pens, planting pens, etc.
According to the elasticity of the brush hair, it can be divided into: soft hair, hard hair, combined hair, etc.
According to their uses, they can be divided into two categories: writing brushes and calligraphy and painting brushes.
According to the shape, it can be divided into: round hair, sharp hair, etc.
According to the length of the stroke, it can be divided into: long stroke, center stroke, and short stroke.
Generally speaking, sheep hair is soft, has average elasticity, and is difficult to use; wolf hair is strong, has strong elasticity, and is easier to use; a pen made of two different animal hairs, soft and strong, is called jianhao. Better to use some. It is also best to be selective when writing different calligraphy styles. You need to slowly explore and experience yourself.
How to hold a brush
There is actually no fixed method for holding a brush, but it should be "the finger is strong and the palm is empty", that is, the fingertips forcefully control the pen barrel, the palm is empty, and the pen has long and short edges to flexibly move. , chosen by personal habits.
The five-character writing method has historically been more commonly used. The five-character pen-holding method uses the five characters of "pull", "press", "hook", "grid" and "button" to summarize the functions of the five fingers. It emphasizes that the five fingers perform their own duties and work together to hold the pen steadily, so that the pen can move flexibly up, down, left and right.
The key points of five-finger writing technique: fingers are solid, palm is empty, palm is erect, wrist is flat, and tube is straight.
Finger solid means that the fingers should be strong when holding the pen, and hold the pen barrel firmly. The four outer fingers should be close to each other, and the joints should be outward, dense but not loose. Special attention should be paid to making the middle joint of the inner thumb bulge outwards so that the tiger's mouth is as round as a stirrup. In this way, the five fingers work together to hold the pen firmly and powerfully, and it is also helpful for writing. The pen should be held with an appropriate amount of tightness. If it's too tight, it won't work well; if it's too loose, it won't work well. Only by pointing to the truth can we achieve it. There will be no wasted hair, no ink spilling, focus on the heart, and stable writing. ?
Palm deficiency means that the palm should be empty when writing, and the fingers should not be bent to stuff the palm. The ring finger and little finger should not touch the palm, as if holding an egg in the palm of the hand. The gap between your thumb and index finger should be wider. In this way, the pen movement can be steady and flexible. The purpose of palm deficiency is to relax the muscles of the palm, otherwise the fingers and wrists will become stiff and tense, which is not conducive to writing.
Palm upright means that the palm of the hand should be as upright as possible when holding the pen. Only when the palm is upright can the pen be straight, and when the pen is upright can the pen be straight. If the pen is straight, it can move freely in all directions; otherwise, the pen tube will be skewed, the pen edge will be incorrect, and the strokes will easily become lopsided.
Wrist level means that the wrist and the tabletop should be parallel. Kang Youwei said: "If you want to use your body's strength, you must level your wrists and erect your front." Because when writing, power is transmitted from the wrist to the tip of the pen. In order to facilitate the movement of the wrist, the wrist must be flat. Wrist flatness and palm uprightness are related to each other. When the tube is straight, the front is straight, which is closely related to the movement of the wrist and the erect palm. With the palm erect and the wrist flat, the tube is straight and the front is straight. In addition, the pen is used with the elbow hanging, which is both flexible and powerful. Because the key to writing is wrist strength.
The tube should be straight. When writing, try to keep the pen tube vertical on the paper, so that the strokes can be easily kept in the center. However, in the specific process of pen movement, the pen barrel sometimes has to pitch and tilt. What is important is that it is tilted but straight, and the center of gravity is stable.
It should be noted that in the picture of the pen holding method in the textbook, the pen barrel is slightly tilted. Because when writing with a brush, the pen barrel does not always remain upright. It must constantly change direction as the pen is started, drawn, and closed.
Copying method
(1) Selection of inscriptions: The choice of inscriptions is the key to practicing calligraphy well. Choose one that you like more, with neater stipples and a more symmetrical structure. The copybook comes and is copied. ?The master leads you in, and practice depends on the individual. Only with a good master and your own hard work can you gradually practice calligraphy and become a calligraphy master.
(2) Combination of copying and copying: When learning calligraphy, copy first and then copy and copy. The so-called copying is to place the copybook under a relatively transparent calligraphy paper, and use a pen to draw red lines on the copybook bit by bit. It is required that the handwriting of the pen should not go beyond the calligraphy of the calligraphy brush, and should be written in the middle of the stipples on the copybook. In this way, over time, it will be easy to learn the structure of the words on the copybook. The so-called lin is to put the copybook next to the calligraphy paper and draw the gourd according to the words on the copybook. It is required that the stipples be written in a similar way, so that over time, it will be easy to learn the meaning of the words on the copybook. Copying and copying are two complementary methods of learning Chinese characters. Copying and copying should be combined and done step by step.
(3) Read the post carefully: Before copying, you must read the post carefully. You must carefully consider the words on the post, how to write the stipples, how to arrange the structure, and how to arrange the chapters and find out the rules. This makes it easier to write with interest, to write realistically, and to write well. When copying, don't be greedy for too much or too soon. Stick to it for one or two hours every day and copy a few words repeatedly, only in this way can you get real gains. For words that are difficult to write, we should learn more about them, copy them more, and compare them more.
(4) Memorize, verify, and use: In addition to copying, you must also be able to memorize, verify, and use. To memorize means to write on the post without looking at it, so that you can write the words on the post without looking at the post, and strive to be as good as in form and spirit; to check is to check the words written on the back with the words on the post. See if there are any mistakes, and be good at discovering your own shortcomings so as to correct them; use means practice, apply what you have learned to real life, and consolidate and improve what you have learned in practice.
(5) Learn from the strengths of others. After you have copied one type of copybook, you should also learn from the strengths of others and copy some other copybooks. You can also constantly revise your writing habits and writing style, reselect writing content, and write new works.
Penmanship skills
Press down
When the pen is pressed down to write, the strokes will be thicker, and when the pen is lifted up, the strokes will be thinner. Just like the two feet of a person walking, one is down and the other is lifted, constantly alternating, the pen is constantly lifting and pressing during the writing process. Only in this way can lines of completely different thicknesses be produced.
Every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: starting the stroke, extending the stroke, and finishing the stroke. There is the "Exposed Edge" method of entering the brush, which is to make the strokes start in a pointed or square shape; there is the "Hidden Edge Method", which is to enter the brush against the edge. When drawing horizontally, you want to draw right first, and when drawing vertically, you want to go down first, so that the edge of the stroke is sharp. Hidden within the strokes, the beginnings of the strokes are basically circular. When writing, you must learn to "use the pen in the center" so that the tip of the pen always runs between dots and dashes. In order to make the strokes powerful, you must also learn to use the brush with a tight stroke, stay in the middle of the line, stay in the middle of the line, and avoid being flashy. There are "Lu Feng" (the pen tip is gradually lifted out of the paper, and the drawing is pointed, such as hanging a needle vertically, skimming, nipping, and hooking), and there is "Zangfeng" (the pen tip is withdrawn into the painting, such as hanging vertically, and the strokes are tailed). rounded end).
The word knot
It is also called the structure or the frame structure. Mr. Qi Gong once pointed out that when writing calligraphy, one must grasp the frame structure and second, practice the characteristics of strokes. The frame structure is more important than the stipple characteristics. If the characters are well spaced, the characteristics of the strokes are not outstanding and they are pleasing to the eye; but the opposite is not true. Therefore, it is very important to carefully study and grasp the structure rules of characters. The so-called "beginner's distribution, but seek to be fair".
To learn to write, you should start with regular script or official script. After mastering various calligraphy styles, you will have the foundation to learn other calligraphy styles. Lin Tie is a necessary means to practice calligraphy well. If you don't post a post and just write it based on your own ideas, you won't get anywhere. Learning to write calligraphy requires perseverance and perseverance, and guarding against arrogance and impetuosity. It is often said: "As long as you work hard enough, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle." As long as you follow the rules of learning and persist in learning, you will definitely succeed in learning.
Things to note
Calligraphy is an art. To practice calligraphy well, you should pay attention to the following points:
(1) Establish correct ideas for learning calligraphy:? Writing does not take a hundred days to complete? The practice of calligraphy requires the spirit of hard work, preparation and perseverance. Don’t slack off halfway.
(2) Choose suitable writing tools: The "Four Treasures of the Study" are the tools that should be prepared for practicing calligraphy. To choose the appropriate use, it is said that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. If the selection is inappropriate, it will affect the efficiency and progress of the exercise. If you are new to learning, you can first use the Langhao or Jianhao pens. Be sure to wash it after use, dry the bristles, straighten the tip, and keep the bristles in order to extend the service life of the brush!
(3) Start with regular script and gradually advance to pen writing: practice calligraphy , you should choose the appropriate method, and you should start with simple large scripts. It is generally better to write characters that are ten centimeters square than to write characters that are too small. Gradually write, don't aim too high, haste makes waste. It is necessary to lay a good foundation for calligraphy practice.
