Analysis of official script
Lishu originated in the third century BC and matured around the peak of stone carving. It is a kind of character (font) evolved from the pre-seal script. There is no font that shows great confusion and complexity in concept and writing like official script, and of course there is no font that chatters for the world like official script: ancient, modern, Qin, Fen, Zuo, Shi, Ba, Kai, San, Cao, Wei, Li and so on. In this regard, commentators have no intention of finding fault with the definition of this concept. It must be noted that official script is a kind of practical writing from difficult to easy, from complicated to simple, and even evolved into practical writing. "History of Books" summarizes this transformation process as? Change? . At the beginning of its formation, official script, as an auxiliary font of seal script, was instinctively transferred to the practical function of seal script. Sasuke slave (not artistic but practical). In a word, official script is an eye-catching, standardized and rigid font unconsciously created by craftsmen under the patriarchal clan system, which can not be ignored. Chinese character complex? And its connection with the later transition to calligraphy entered the field of calligraphy art.
Throughout the official script, due to the limitation of practicality, its stippling is true, which may have a lot to do with the factors of inscriptions. The Qin and Han bamboo slips unearthed in modern times not only provide us with a blank supplement from seal script to Han tablet, but also enable us to see the earliest ink. Bamboo slips are still arranged with solid strokes on the smooth surface of bamboo slips, which gives us a message: official slips, like bamboo slips, are all Chinese characters copied by craftsmen with honest and almost ignorant irrational thinking under the order of technological manufacturing. The interactive mode between reality and reality of Taiji images in Yi is a mode that contains the potential existence of heaven and earth and the mutual transformation and integration of time and space. Broken enlightenment? It has the infinite development possibility of beauty. The unity of opposites between reality and reality contained in the artistic image is the life behavior of the works that makes it an art. The stippling of official script is real and lacks great ethereal spirit, which is the most fatal weakness of the craftsman's weak intellectual creation, so that official script can not enter the calligraphy art, so it can only be patched up in an extremely limited font structure and adjusted to a limited extent. This weakness, only when calligraphy enters the humanistic consciousness, can create the aesthetic dimension of the subject, condense the sports symbols abstracted from nature into artistic images, and form the tension of life.
The reality of stippling in official script is tracing. In the context of Chinese impressionism's criticism of book history, it appeared? Failure? Two words. The history of books? Failure? It is a special vocabulary to evaluate the works of calligraphers with a certain level. It is hard to imagine how a writer's works can be judged without getting started. Failure? ! Besides,? Failure? Is the whole work (different from literary terms) in the use of words and words of a certain level. In ancient times, it was difficult to use characters such as Jia, Jin, Zhuan, Li and Bird and Insect Books. Failure? Words should be judged, because the noumenon of these characters has been perfected in the way of practice. Composition works that are not artistic but have the same relationship with handicrafts cannot be judged by the standards of artistic works. In other words, Li Shu's modification and remolding of points, lines and surfaces reached the highest point of practical beauty. Only in this way, the question of whether official script can be regarded as art media appears, which will be analyzed point by point below.
The points of official script should be hidden in front. The front direction is arranged regularly according to the structure of each word. If there is a cross under the point, the front of the point is inclined to the right; Where is it? Small? In the example, the left point goes up to the left and the right point goes up to the right; ? Water? In the example, the layout of the midpoint must extend up and down two points, and the top-down three-point front end is more and more inclined. Use official script? Point? In the schema, we should pursue regularity and accuracy as much as possible, and the points and mouths should be clear and dignified. Where you succeed, you will be defeated. For the key points, the Eight Laws of Yongzi said: The edge should not be flat, but should be straight? And in the following eight ways (see the general explanation of Han Xi's calligraphy), such as hide and seek, tadpole potential, chestnut point, almond potential, willow potential and so on were invented. In fact, the point of official script is very simple, nothing more than? Just right? For the ear, in the word? Water? The part and the lower part are just in different positions, just like moving an egg from A to B or an egg. Whether it is "Eight Laws of Yongzi" or "Eight Laws", it is far from Mrs. Wei. If the peak falls, is it as real as the collapse? The tension at this point is summed up so deeply. ? Peak falling rocks? Are there any rules and procedures? Extremely nervous and directional, but there is no constant trajectory, that is, there is no old method in motion. Official script? Point? The misunderstanding of predecessors is not only our accomplice, but also the guide to get us into a quagmire.
Kandinsky has an incisive analysis of points. A point is essentially the simplest shape. It is introverted, and it has never completely lost this feature, even if its appearance is jagged. ? Point to the picture and let it go. Therefore, it is essentially the most concise and stable declaration, which was formed simply, clearly and quickly. ? ("point? Line? Face) Kang's tolerance and the distinction between twists and turns? Let nature take its course This expression is in line with China's traditional aesthetics, which is a little formal and heavy. From the aesthetic point of view, the zigzag point has more infinite possibilities of beauty than the standard point, and its changes are much richer and more exciting than the regular point. Broadly speaking, the tension of non-standard points can be used to create many surfaces with different shapes in aesthetic imagination, and combined with lines that are not necessarily standardized to form multi-directional surfaces that can be measured by logic and mathematics. The essence of official script is a masterpiece mechanically copied in the virtual aesthetic imagination, but it is only a failure of art, and its concrete works are only a detachable part without visual tolerance in the aesthetic vision of the receiver. In the formulaic interpretation of stippling in official script, we will never find out about? Point? The answer of art, as Kandinsky said, is the artistic image under the tension of vitality. In the warm embrace of official script, you can copy the same words in a few days. Some people say that this is calligraphy, but it is actually the passive enjoyment of lazy people. If you want to leave this chair, you must exercise and leave your warm arms. This tension-seeking movement needs to pay a certain price, which may be the life of the creator. In the development of official script, Deng, Jin Nong and He Ren are at best a group of lazy people. It is a tragedy for them and a tragedy for history that they sacrifice their own life value as the object of sacrifice to realize a pale artistic ideal. They failed to stay away from the warm embrace of chairs like Zhao, Yi Bingshou and Yu Youren, and completed the turning point of artistic life. YiWen Zhao Qian Zhi, Yi Bingshou and Yu Youren's official script art level is not high.
For the traditional sense of failure (sawtooth, broken pen. ? Ink pig? Only owned by people who have not started), the theoretical circle has re-recognized it in the aesthetic view of time and space. The presentation of contemporary calligraphy practice images fully proves this point. Beauty is developing, all beauty is the beauty of living people, and the aesthetic view of society now is undoubtedly unreasonable. Failure in the traditional sense is not ugly or flawed today. On the contrary, it is a beautiful symbol. "Official script" (traditional, shaped as Han Li, but the new official script after the transformation is not completely like this. How to mature, but the interpreter can't face up to the theory and theoretical learning obtained from the historical black hole.
In the sense of line space, the lines of official script are rigid parallel lines. Here, the author only makes a detailed analysis of the wave that marks the maturity of official script. It should be noted that the concept of official script here is accepted in the traditional practical writing system such as official script and bamboo slips. The contemporary new official script is far from the traditional concept of official script, which is a turning point in calligraphy.
With the help of official script schema, it will greatly reduce the punchline of critics. "Zhang Qianbei" is called the stern and muddy Gu Zhuo of the founder. In particular, this tablet is square, which is quite different from the round stone carvings such as Ode to Shimen, Cao Quanbei and Zhang Jingbei, so it has a unique style. The beginning and end of the characters in the inscriptions are often represented by rigid Fang Bi, which is not to purify the beauty of nature, but the misunderstanding of the metaphor of official script by later generations. Calligraphy is a linear art in abstract space. Although Fang Bi is a rigid official script with certain aesthetic value, it is an artistic line. In calligraphy creation, if you don't do it deliberately, Fang Bi's schema is even more precious. For example, the North Monument of Zhao, Yu Youren and Lu is in the grass; If Fang Bi made it on purpose, it's not much different from writing in Chinese calligraphy. You should know that calligraphy still has aesthetic value, but it is not calligraphy. In our life, if the creator wants to express the traditional lattice window, he can only express it with lines in a balanced range. Imagine. The balanced and rigid line pattern described by performers is definitely not a work of art. Only by incorporating other images that match it can we break this deadlock, enter the artistic territory and interpret an aesthetic situation. Interestingly, drawing a tree is enough to become a work of art without reorganization because of the change of branch space and rich interlacing. The qualitative difference between the above examples lies in sticking to the model or breaking it. The formation of Fang Bi must be? Describe it? , reflecting the book theory, Books, scattered? . (Cai Yong's On Pen)? Books, such as Ye, Shu Ye, Wen Ye, remember Ye? . Zhang Huaiguan's book is broken? Is there anything in the world that is not cursive? . (Weng Fanggang's language) This in itself is a contempt and denial for describing Fang Bi.
Cao Quanbei is the representative of Li Shu's round pen. It hides the natural tension that must be possessed as a calligraphy art work under the gorgeous appearance. The lines are even and pale, and the structure is simple and balanced, but it lacks the agitation and movement of the body. Horizontal is the pattern, vertical is the pattern. With the pavilion style advocated by later generations? Eight methods? There is no refusal to prove this monument. On the aesthetic value of calligraphy, Cao Quanbei is not in the same breath as the stone inscriptions such as Shimen Ming, Er Gui and Zhang Menglong that appeared after the official script was transferred to other places.
As a mythical symbol of the maturity of official script, Bo Zhen restricted and prevented the popularity between words. Hiding the head and protecting the tail form a heavy feeling from the traditional values, but hiding the head and protecting the tail essentially cuts off the instinctive tension on the line direction. In a word, the absolutely hidden front, back and front in the urine book are the rest of the infinite extension in the linear movement. The emergence of cursive script is a complete betrayal and revolution to the urine book, and no one attacks the myth system of regular script more thoroughly than Zhang Ruitu. Zhao, Zheng Jiakou and Yu Youren. It also broke the eternal myth of hiding the head and protecting the tail. There should be no stereotype in artistic creation. When the creator appropriately expresses the beautiful situation he wants to convey by creating intellectual thinking, all his techniques and means are outside of art ... Take calligraphy as an example. When we appreciate a calligraphy work, who will pay attention to how the creator wrote it?
The wave of Lishu is S-shaped, should I turn left by 90? The body is flat. S-rhythm can be regarded as the connection of two C-rhythms. Huo Jiasi said in "Analysis of Beauty" that the wavy line with S rhythm is the basic line type suitable for painting internal structure in nature, and it has homology in biology and dynamics. For the lines that make up a work of art, these lines should be mixed and even matched with the opposite lines. I can call them simple lines, because some objects require this? . (Hogarth's analysis of beauty) The waves of official script are all single-dimensional S lines, which are rigid procedures. On the other hand, in painting, the composition of long banners or horizontal banners in Chinese painting, the rhythm of S-shape changes at will, and the end point of S-shape can start from two corners or from the middle as an imaginary extension of the end point of S-shape. The complex change of its rhythm is adjusted by the random combination of the creator's intellectual talents, just like the deformation of cosmic celestial bodies starts from the spiral wave of qi and moves in the form of waves. Moving? Instead of. Stagnation? . ? Sending a pen to Bo Bizhen costs 30% more. ? Why do you have to fight outside and be proud of Xu? . (Li Shimin's "Calligraphy Tactics") It is conceivable that this description is so embarrassing, and this description is not creative. It's obviously a subconscious action game. To sum up, the horizontal paintings of Lishu are parallel in space, and the starting position of the endpoint is deliberately fixed. We might as well sum it up as follows: Wave is just the craftsman's breaking of the boundary of straight line, and it is also an original and practical presentation of their low-level aesthetics under the limitation of the times.
The face of official script is the least worth mentioning. Interpreters of official scripts always avoid talking about their weaknesses. On the level of single word, official script only takes the square as the prison, and the degree of expansion and contraction of stippling is extremely limited, which can be appreciated by most writers. Writing flat square characters is the simplest symbol form in existing calligraphy. The composition of official script is nothing more than overlapping words and ranking neatly. Mr. Zheng Songxian hit the nail on the head: But generally speaking, official scripts have stereotyped fonts, and the fonts are stereotyped and the brushwork is mostly square. It is quite difficult to change and innovate it. Because where can running script and cursive script be obtained? Move position? In terms of distribution, official script cannot be the same as regular script. ? So there is no need for the commentator to say anything more.
As can be seen from the above, official script, as a beautiful practical art, can never bring artistic beauty to it because of its strict regulations and its own limitations. Just a typical practical art? As far as most beautiful arts are concerned, it is a truth that the ancients did not know, because any physical labor has traces of servility in the eyes of the ancients. Moreover, the spiritual freedom of beautiful art forces them to live in a place where there is no general and practical art as a single scale. ? (the art of beauty and the pure creativity of beauty and spirit) is creative rationality in a hidden advanced zone near the center of the soul. In this creative reason, intelligence, the only source of all kinds of forces in the soul, develops its activities and combines with all kinds of forces. This is the transcendence of beautiful art over practical art? . (Jacques? Maritain's "Creative Intuition in Art and Poetry") Lishu is just a practical schema for writing Chinese characters before calligraphy. It only transmits the part that standardizes the lines of Chinese characters to calligraphy art, and its enlightenment function and value orientation are reflected in the multi-intersection and transition.
Learn official script
Official script is also called Zuo Shu and octagonal script. Zheng Heng's "Four-body Book Potential" says: Li Shu, Feng Zhijie also. ? Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi? Syria said:? Qin Tian's Confucian classics, getting rid of the old classics, complicated official and prison affairs, and early official documents to facilitate the agreement, made the ancient prose unique. ? In fact, official script is the simplicity and urgency of seal script.
Li Shu inherited the seal brush and began to grass. Lishu originated from the result of the war and flourished in the Han Dynasty. To the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was decorated with pickaxes, and there were the most inscriptions in this period, which formed the first peak of stone carving in China. Official script evolved from seal script, some glyphs still have seal script traces, but the pen was changed to fold, and the pressing was frustrated, forming a unique brushwork of official script. Horizontal pick is the most distinctive brushwork of official script, which is often the main stroke of the whole word, and official script has almost no tick. There are two kinds of official script pens: Fiona Fang, and the other is square and round. Li Shu's pen is the most taboo to mix with Tang Kai's brushwork, and strokes teach regular script to stretch more, and it is required to escape as far as possible.
Zhao Minghuan said:? The strokes of seal script are written in the opposite direction and divided into different parts. The potential twists and turns are left and right, and their shapes are connected by hooks. The strokes of seal script have twists and turns. ? This paper makes a general exposition of the different characteristics of seal script.
Taking Han Yiying Monument as an example, this paper explains in detail the process of learning official script with a pen.
Inscriptions recommended by Lishu: Han stele: Yiying stele, Shimen stele, Huashan Temple stele, Liyi stele and Xihuang stele. Han bamboo slips: Juyan Han bamboo slips and Wuwei Han bamboo slips. Li Qing: The works of Zheng Zhi, Jin Nong, Deng, Yi Bingshou and He can be used for reference.
