China fan culture has a profound cultural background and is an integral part of national culture. China has always been called "the kingdom of making fans". Fan painting also has a long history. Historically, Wang Xizhi used to draw figures or write calligraphy on a group fan.
As a kind of appreciation and collection, fan calligraphy has its unique artistic characteristics and gives people beautiful enjoyment. The composition of fan calligraphy is more difficult than ordinary calligraphy. Mainly to deal with the relationship between fan bone and the number of words in writing content. It is necessary to calculate the number of words carefully and arrange them properly in the spaces between the fan-shaped bones.
The general principle is coordination, and it is not allowed to tighten first and then loosen, or loosen first and then tighten. You'd better make a draft before writing, and then write after you are quite sure.
Fan-shaped characters, especially those on the upper bone, are difficult to write well. Because it is uneven and difficult to write, it is not appropriate to have too few words. When writing a lot of words, you can flatten the fan as much as possible, press it with paperweights on the left and right sides, and write the words in the blank space between the fan bones.
Because the effect of rice paper is lost by half, it is not advisable to dip more ink in the fan when writing. In addition, the choice of seal should not be too large, and it should be coordinated with the size of the words on the sector. Generally speaking, weeds should not be used in fan calligraphy.
Because of the fan-shaped shape, the upper part is wide and the lower part is narrow, so the gap between the crease and the tear is also wide and narrow. This unique style requires us to make appropriate arrangements when creating.
