Seal script is a general term for big seal script and small seal script. Dazhuan refers to Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Jinwen, Jinwen and Six Kingdoms, and retains the obvious features of ancient hieroglyphics. Xiao Zhuan, also known as "Qin Zhuan", is the common language of Qin State. In the development history of Chinese characters, it is the transition between seal script and official script. Seal script is the most meaningful and the most difficult to write. A famous seal script works, hanging on the wall, moving. It originated very early and was gradually abandoned in the change of writing, but it still expresses classical beauty and inner beauty with profound connotation and flexible lines.
Official script-inner thoughts
In the process of "writing in the same language", Qin Shihuang ordered Li Si to create Xiao Zhuan, and also adopted the official script compiled by Cheng Miao. After seal script, official script is a very beautiful style. And the beauty of Bo and Zhen. The so-called wave means that the left line of the stroke is like a curved wave, and it becomes left in the later regular script; The so-called right stroke is open and looks like a swallow-tailed pen. When writing a long horizontal line, the pen begins to cut into the silkworm head facing the front, with the pen in the middle having a wave pitch and a tail at the end. Lishu has its own unique ideological content, with soft pen, rigorous composition, serious but not rigid, tall and straight but not stiff. There are thoughts and connotations.
Cursive script-lingering artistic conception
There are three kinds of cursive scripts: Cao Zhang, Modern Cao Cao and Crazy Cao Cao. There are rules to follow in the changes of strokes, such as the urgent chapter of the Three Kingdoms Wu in Songjiang Edition. Today's grass is eclectic and fluent, and its representative works include Wang Xizhi's "The First Moon" and Jin Dynasty's "Getting Time". Mad grass appeared in the Tang Dynasty, represented by Zhang Xu and Huai Su, and its brushwork was wild and uninhibited, which became an artistic creation completely divorced from practicality. From then on, cursive script was only the works of calligraphers imitating Cao Zhang, Cao Jin and Kuangcao. Cursive script is the ultimate simplification of China's calligraphy style, which has strong artistic value.
Running script-the track of speed
Running script is a font between regular script and cursive script. Running script was the most famous in Song Dynasty, including Mi Fei, Su Shi and Huang Tingjian of Cai Xiang. Preface to Lanting, a masterpiece of running script, is the most famous work of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Predecessors described it as "a dragon descending from heaven, a tiger lying in a phoenix pavilion" and praised it as "the best running script in the world". Tang Yan Zhenqing's book "Sacrificing a Nephew" is very bold, and the ancients rated it as "the second running script in the world". Su Shi's Huangzhou Cold Food Sticker is called "the third running script in the world". The appearance of running script is the result of simplified characters and accelerated speed.
Regular script-the feminine taste of the founder
Regular script is a kind of China font, and it is a popular handwritten orthographic Chinese character, which evolved from official script. Also known as block letters. It is a kind of calligraphy with the longest development time in China. Regular script is square and strokes are straight. There were four masters of regular script in Yuan Dynasty: Ou Yangxun (European style), Yan Zhenqing (Yan style), Liu Gongquan (Liu style) and Zhao Meng (Zhao Ti). Regular script is generally used as an introductory text, which can follow seal script and play a connecting role.
Question 2: What are the fonts of calligraphy? Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Bronze inscription, Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan, Lishu, even cursive script, regular script and running script were finalized in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Wei and Jin Dynasties? Calligraphy has always exuded artistic charm.
Introduction:
Calligraphy is the most classic national symbol in the development of traditional culture and art in China for five thousand years. It is an art form of writing Chinese characters with a brush, which has aesthetic inertia. Calligraphy can be called the "fourth religion" in China, with strong attraction, sense of ceremony and public participation. Therefore, for more than 5,000 years, the representative figures in each period were Zen Ruo Xing He, and the most important figures were Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei, Zhao Meng, Zhu Yunming, Wang Duo, Liu Gongquan, Su Shi, Apollo, Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan and Sui Liang. In terms of techniques, paying attention to writing, pen, stippling, structure, ink painting and composition is closely related to traditional Chinese painting and seal cutting.
Appreciate:
Wang Sengqian, a calligrapher in the Southern Dynasties, said in "Praise of Literary Style": "The wonderful way of a book is that the spirit is superior, the form and quality are secondary, and the person who has both can be described by the ancients". This shows the essence of calligraphy appreciation and emphasizes the aesthetic concept of calligraphy with both form and spirit. In Lu Qun's view, calligraphy appreciation needs "seven views", that is, looking at personality, content, lines, shelves, structure, composition and style.
Only when the muscles and bones are well trained can we express our feelings.
Lu Qun believes that to appreciate calligraphy, we should not only grasp the macro features of the works, such as momentum, spirit and white cloth, but also make subtle observations, such as using pen and ink, structure and lines. Appreciate the quality of lines, from which we can observe the pen and ink and brushwork of the author when he creates. Secondly, the Chinese character structure combined with line stippling and painting is interesting and philosophical in artistic modeling. The third is white cloth, including knot writing, gas circulation and composition. The fourth is spirit, which refers to the spiritual temperament and style of calligraphy. Spirit is a faithful record of the author's spiritual realm, which is closely related to the author's emotion, personality and cultivation. Excellent calligraphy works must be full of beauty and spirit. Appreciators should grasp the form and capture the spirit. "When appreciating calligraphy, you can appreciate the beauty of calligraphy's strokes, ink, lines, characters and rules, and even sublimate to the imagination of calligraphy, thus making the spirit feel happy. Yan Zhenqing's regular script, for example, is beautiful, broad and stylish, and has the mind of "tolerance and tolerance", so it is said that learning books means learning beauty. Liu Gongquan's regular script is beautiful at the back, showing compactness and exquisiteness by radiation. There is a' my fair lady, a gentleman is good'. " The feeling. These two diametrically opposite styles are still linked by the ancients, so they are called "Yan Gu", showing diametrically opposite artistic styles. "
In Lu Qun's eyes, a calligraphy work is usually good or bad from two aspects. The first is the basic skills of calligraphy. The basic connotation of calligraphy is determined by the following two points: first, look at the basic structure of font frame. When writing brush calligraphy, if the shelf structure of a word is not well written, it may directly affect the meaning of the word, thus affecting the aesthetic value of calligraphy. When the shelf of a word is set up, the font of the word is determined. It is true that grass, official script and seal script have different shelf structures. Every calligrapher wants to change the font, first of all, he wants to change the shelf structure of previous calligraphy. Li Si reformed the bookshelf structure of the historical book Da Zhuan and created the bookshelf structure of Xiao Zhuan. Cheng Miao changed the shelf structure of the previous calligraphy style and became a kind of official script. Wang Xizhi also sought changes in the shelf structure of his predecessors' calligraphy style, and he became a regular script, a running script and a cursive script. The font stand he wrote has a beautiful structure. Most calligraphers of later generations seek changes in his shelf structure and form their own styles. A person who writes with a brush can't even write the most basic shelf structure well, so he can't be a calligrapher. True, cursive, official script and seal script, each font has its own writing rules. With the change of stroke rules, fonts have also changed, and perhaps new, better and more beautiful fonts have appeared. When we appreciate a calligraphy, we must watch every stroke from the beginning, stroke, and see whether the stroke is powerful, whether the stroke force is even and smooth, and whether the stroke rules of this font are met when writing a stroke, such as point, horizontal, folding, vertical, hook, left, holding and lifting. These brushstrokes were forged by great calligraphers of past dynasties. Every great calligrapher's brushstrokes are different, but what remains unchanged is that every stroke he writes has skill and aesthetic value.
Calligraphy is a portrayal of personality.
Language and its connotation that determine the quality of calligraphy works. Calligraphy language includes the following four points:
First, whether calligraphy has literary connotation. Good calligraphy works not only reflect the meaning of each word.
Question 3: What are the brush fonts? Generally speaking, calligraphy is real calligraphy (regular script), running script, official script, cursive script, regular script, seal script, Oracle Bone Inscriptions and so on.
The specific breakdown has come down a lot.
Regular script represents the species of Yan, namely Yan Ti (Yan Zhenqing), Liu Ti (Liu Gongquan), Ou Ti (Ou Yangxun) and Zhao Ti (Zhao Meng \).
Of course, the running script is the best in the world, represented by Wang Xizhi, the masterpiece of Lanting Preface.
Official script includes Qin Li and Han Li. Cao Quanbei Yiying's official script ... Later generations of Jin Nong are also famous.
The cursive script is divided into Cao Zhang, Jincao and Crazy Grass.
Personal understanding is divided according to the degree of scribbling, and even finally becomes a symbol (most of Hiragana in Japanese is derived from cursive script)
Cao Zhang is reserved, and Urgent Chapter is suitable for beginners.
This grass goes further, as if Zhang Zhi and Wang Xizhi had developed and perfected.
Wild grass is represented by Huai Su in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Zhang Xu, the sage of grass.
Wei Bei, seal script and Oracle Bone Inscriptions are relatively few, and they have not been studied and are not very clear.
As for the song style, I think no one seems to practice this kind of character except printing, except artists.
Founder fonts are more for computers.
Of course, there are some very special things, such as the thin gold body created by Song Huizong ... very rare.
I am a person who has practiced Yan Ti, and Wang Xizhi has also studied Preface to Lanting Collection. Finally, because I didn't have time to learn the cursive script of the college entrance examination when I grew up, I changed it to official script, so I nodded my head and practiced the next Yi Ying tablet.
It is suggested that learning regular script and official script is relatively simple. There will be calligraphy, cursive script, seal script and so on, depending on your hobbies. Girls can also learn from ancient ladies and lower case letters.
In regular script, Yan Ti and Liu Ti are very good, Yan Ti is vigorous, and Liu Ti is delicate. Then he said that European style is suitable for writing smaller words, which looks better.
Preface to Lanting Collection is written by most people, and it is the most famous. Of course, it looks good when written.
I introduced the copybooks of elegant middle school students, and Mi Zige's is more suitable to start with. Later, I learned a regular script for returning to the palace, which is also a style, and then the preface to Lanting Collection.
In fact, the copybooks are almost the same, and the methods of practicing calligraphy are exquisite, which means that the things of famous artists are more reliable, and it is more important to choose the right tablet. (The copybooks are mostly works left by famous artists, mostly rubbings of stone tablets, such as Li Yanqin tablet, Duobaota tablet, Liuti Xuantami tablet and Diamond Sutra. )
It is better to have a teacher. Some things can't be observed by yourself, but some things still need to be mentioned by the teacher. When I write a book, I can't even read the order of strokes at first (talent is stupid)
But there are also self-taught people.
Understanding is very important, so is persistence.
I hope it helps you.
Question 4: What is calligraphy? What are the main fonts of China's calligraphy? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ China's calligraphy is a unique art that takes the literal meaning of Chinese characters as its content, takes the writing of a certain font as its form, and follows certain rules. Calligraphy embodies the beauty of objects, dynamics and artistic conception by stippling and structure, which has certain generality and high aesthetic value. The main fonts of China's calligraphy are: seal script (usually including Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, bronze inscriptions in Zhou Dynasty, seal script in Warring States and seal script in Qin Dynasty); Official script; Regular script (also known as official script and real script); Run the script; Cursive script (Cao Zhang, Jincao, Kuangcao).
Question 5: What fonts can I get an introduction to brush calligraphy? Tian's "one question a day, one word a day" or his calligraphy teaching video. Regular script is hungry. European regular script can be learned. I wish you success in your studies!
Question 6: Beginners learn China's calligraphy. . What font should I practice with? There are five forms of calligraphy: seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. Most people and I think that beginners should be based on regular script, but some people think that they should learn official script. The arrangement of regular script structure is only an intermediate stage. It evolved from official script. If regular script is flat and even, then dennis gabor's brushwork is official script. Simple writing is running script, simple writing is cursing, and now it is grass. If we start with official script, it is difficult to master the brushwork of regular script, because the brushwork of regular script is richer and more complicated than official script. It can be seen that practicing the basic skills of regular script can be used as the basis for practicing calligraphy and writing various styles.
With the basic skills of regular script, I have mastered the structure and brushwork of regular script, and then I will write regular script, official script, running script and cursive script. Even seal script can get twice the result with half the effort. Regular script can enrich and change the structure of Weibei and Lishu, such as Zhu Suiliang's regular script; The penetration of regular script into running script and cursive brushwork can increase agility, such as some inscriptions in regular script written by Zhao Meng.
Some beginners are eager to practice running script and cursive script. Because they don't have the basic skills of regular script, although they write like a dragon and a phoenix dance, they don't have the basic font rules and punctuation skills, so they get twice the result with half the effort and take a detour.
The best way to practice regular script is to paste it. Actually, anything can be pasted. You can choose tablets according to your own preferences, such as Yan, Ou, Liu and Ji, but try to buy better quality copybooks when buying tablet stickers.
