(1) Fiona Fang.
Fiona Fang is Fang Bi and the round pen. Fang Bi has sharp edges and corners at the beginning and end of the pen. Generally, it strokes the pen at the front, cuts it straight down, bends the front to make a triangle action after the stroke, makes the front make straight corners, and finally returns to the front to collect the pen. Fang Bi's characteristic is that he is skillful with knives and axes, strong and upright, and his brushwork is exposed, which can present a strong momentum.
Wei Bei's Twenty Poems of Longmen, Zhang Menglong Monument and Ou Yangxun Ci are the representatives of Fang Bi. The arc at the tip and tail of the pen is a round pen. The round pen and Fang Bi are relative concepts. Their strokes usually start from the front, with no bones or muscles. After the stroke, turn to the middle to make a circular motion, so that the front is round, and finally return to the front to collect the pen.
The round pen is characterized by its shape like a curved wire, implicit and vigorous, and introverted brushwork, which can present a beautiful charm. The characters of Lishu Cao Quanbei, Beibei Zheng Wengong Monument and Yan Zhenqing are the representatives of multi-purpose round pens.
(2) hide the dew.
Tibetan dew is a Tibetan front and a dew front. Hidden front refers to pen, which is also called hidden front. Its strokes start from the front. Take the pen back. The Tibetan front is characterized by hiding its head and protecting its tail, which is implicit and meaningful, giving people a calm and serious feeling. It is mostly used in standard scripts such as seal script, official script and regular script. Dew front refers to the exposure of pen and pen, also known as front. Exposure front and Tibetan front are relative concepts.
It paddles straight in and out along the front instead of facing the front and back. The dew front is characterized by the dew point, colorful flying, giving people the feeling of galloping freely. Mostly used in running script and cursive script, it can play the role of connecting the preceding with the following between the lines.
(3) the middle side.
The middle side is the center and the flank. When the center writes with a pen finger, the pen tip always runs in the middle of stippling, which is also called positive front. Cai Yong said in "Nine Potential": "Make the pen heart move constantly in strokes. Because the center strokes the pen and spreads the paper, the ink flows evenly and smoothly, and the stippling written is rich in bone and flesh, round and three-dimensional. The central stroke is regarded as the law of writing by calligraphers in past dynasties. When writing with a pen finger, the pen tip is not in the middle of the stroke, but runs on one side of the stroke, also known as the winger. The winger is relative to the center. If this brushwork is used properly, the strokes written are beautiful, elegant, smart and lively, which is one of the important brushwork and also a common brushwork.
(4) withdrawal.
Lifting and pressing refers to lifting the pen and pressing it. Pen lifting refers to the method of lifting the pen slightly without leaving the paper when writing, which is the process of moving the pen tip from many directions to less on the paper, with the aim of thinning the strokes. Pressing the pen is to press the pen down in the process of writing, that is, the pen tip moves from less to more on the paper, in order to thicken the strokes.
Lifting pressure is the basic brushwork in calligraphy, which usually needs to be used interactively. There is pressure in lifting, and there is lifting in pressing, so that the strokes will not stagnate. Clever use can make the change of stippling full of rhythm, thus producing beautiful effects.
(5) turning point.
Turning point, that is, turning front and folding front, is the pen method when the pen tip changes its running direction. Turning the front is the process of turning from one circle to another with a pen, and there is no corner stroke. The stippling written by seal style is round and delicate, without square edges and corners. On the contrary, the folding front is the opposite, and the strokes written with the folding pen are sharp and sharp, and the bones are stretched. The stippling results obtained by turning the front and folding the front are round and square.
