The three characters in official script should be written with a thick and heavy stroke at the end, and the beauty of twists and turns.
1. The font is flat and square, spreading out to the left and right. The character is horizontally oriented, so the font is biased, which strengthens the horizontal spreading and shrinks the vertical strokes.
2. Turn circles into squares and arcs into straight lines. The straight strings of the decantation will generally have obvious fluctuations, full of vitality, and contain the arc potential of the seal characters.
3. The beginning of the pen and the end of the pen are the swallow tail. This method is used in the horizontal and vertical strokes of the official script. The "starting silkworm head" is formed by the process of starting the pen and hiding the edge of the pen. The strokes are written in a shape similar to that of a silkworm's head. "Closing the pen and swallowing the tail" is to press the pen at the end of the pen and then lift the pen diagonally to the upper right to strike.
4. Change the painting into dots and connections into breaks. The dots in official script are independent of Gao Jinqin and are not attached to the painting. There are three connected vertical dots and flat dots (next to the water) and four connected dots on the left and right. (Next), etc., break most of the continuous strokes in seal characters to write them.
5. Strengthen the lifting and pressing, and change the thickness. The book emphasizes the lifting and pressing action, forming a significant inheritance of stroke trajectories and changes in thickness, which are clearly reflected in the process of starting and closing the strokes.
The origin of official script:
1. Official script was founded in the Qin Dynasty. It is said that Cheng Miao was the official. The Han official script reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, inheriting the tradition of seal script and starting from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. , Southern and Northern Dynasties, and had a considerable influence on later calligraphy. In the calligraphy circle, it is known as "Han Li Tang Kai".
2. Script is a common solemn font style in Chinese characters. It is generally believed that it was developed from seal script. The fonts are mostly wide and flat, with long horizontal strokes and short vertical strokes. It pays attention to the "silkworm head and swallow tail" "Twists and turns."
3. Li Qi Bi Shu basically evolved from seal script. It mainly changed the round strokes of seal script into square folds. Because it is difficult to draw round strokes when writing on wooden slips with lacquer, so The writing speed of official script is faster.
4. Official script is relative to seal script, and the name of official script originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The emergence of official script was another major reform of Chinese characters, which brought Chinese calligraphy art into a new realm. It was a turning point in the history of the evolution of Chinese characters and laid the foundation for regular script.
