As the saying goes: When painting and calligraphy are high-minded, the first priority is character. Since his integrity is excellent, everyone not only values ??his writing and ink, but also admires his person.
? ——Inscription
This is a famous saying from the "Yiyuan Painting Theory" of the Qing Dynasty. This sentence means that the character of the author can be seen in calligraphy and painting. If a person's character is good, not only will everyone like your calligraphy, but they will also admire you.
Words are like people, and character comes first. People who stand upright have an upright and bright outlook outside of their pen and ink, and their magnanimous feelings are all reflected in their pen and ink. The so-called nobility and elegance are self-contained. Therefore, you can tell what a person you have never met is like from his writing. This is the charm of calligraphy.
Calligraphy is also an art. Calligraphy comes in many forms: hard pen and soft pen. These two forms of expression are divided into multiple styles: regular script, Xingkai, running script, running cursive, cursive script, Kuangcao, official script and small seal script. Progressing layer by layer and in order, it shows the beauty of order in calligraphy.
Ouyang Xiu, a writer in my country's Northern Song Dynasty, once said: The study of calligraphy should be a family of its own. In other words, when learning calligraphy, one should write one's own style within the rules of calligraphy, and create a unique style, among which Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is the most important. The most obvious characteristics of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy are his delicate brushwork and changeable structure. His greatest calligraphy achievement lies in adding to and detracting from ancient calligraphy, transforming the simple calligraphy style of the Han and Wei dynasties into calligraphy with exquisite brushwork, free and handsome calligraphy. The main script is clever and dense, the running script is vigorous and natural, and the cursive script is thick and delicate. His work "Lanting Preface" is known as "the best running script in the world". Wang Xizhi introduced the writing of Chinese characters from a purely practical function to a realm that pays attention to technique and taste. In fact, this represents the awakening of the art of calligraphy and marks that calligraphers can not only discover the beauty of calligraphy, but also express it. Wang Xizhi explained to future generations what calligraphy is and showed the charm of calligraphy.
In calligraphy, each Chinese character embodies the vigorous and powerful radicals. Every stroke and every painting expresses the charm of calligraphy. For example, vertical hook: the stroke starts with a slight pause, that is, it goes downwards, and when it reaches the end of the vertical stroke, it pauses slightly to the left and then quickly moves to the upper left; horizontal fold: the horizontal stroke changes from light to heavy, and the stroke at the end of the horizontal stroke is the vertical stroke. Pen stroke; return stroke: reverse stroke at the end, small angle, quick and decisive stroke return, mainly used to connect the strokes on the right side, the overall shape is compact. When writing, pay attention to natural and strong turns. Vigorous counterattacks and smooth turns, every stroke contains the infinite charm of calligraphy.
The word is afraid of practicing, and the horse is afraid of riding. Zhang Yanyuan, a famous painter in the Song Dynasty, once said: The heart is dense and dense, and the hand is clumsy. The beauty and ugliness of calligraphy lie in the heart and hand. This shows that the success of calligraphy comes from daily practice. It is impossible to write good calligraphy without accumulated practice over time. But as long as you make up your mind, practice every day, and practice repeatedly. Thinking and summarizing repeatedly, we can achieve something regardless of whether we have a hard pen or a soft pen. Writing good calligraphy is not for some vain praise, but to improve your taste and cultivation. As the saying goes: There is poetry and calligraphy in your belly. And this sentence should be used in calligraphy: writing good calligraphy is full of energy. This shows the beauty of the process of practicing calligraphy and the charm of calligraphy.
Mathematics makes people thoughtful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, logic makes people eloquent, and calligraphy can calm an angry person and let a grief-stricken person vent. , can bring comfort to a lonely person... This is the charm of calligraphy!
