1. Dry
The dryness of the pen, that is, the use of two fonts of the brushwork, written into a word. "True grass is a word, which is said to be dry." Of course, partial dryness also includes a mixture of words such as true composition, seal, and grass synthesis. The law of the pen is the criterion for distinguishing the artistic characteristics of the font, and there can be no mistake of the millimeter, "If the Hao (millimeter) does not perceive, then the Hu Yue is the one who is particularly windy." Therefore, it is absolutely not allowed to dry up the pen and write it into miscellaneous and vulgar characters, but to think that it is a book art innovation. The ills of dry writing have become more serious in modern times, mainly due to the fact that "they want to change but do not know how to change" and do not understand the meaning of "every word, that is, they must make several kinds of intentions", so that they confuse the intention and the law. Of course, this is also related to misinformation and novelty.
2. Plate stagnation
Because the basic requirement of the pen is to write the strokes alive, successive generations of writers have regarded the stagnation of the pen as a major drawback. "Books are forbidden to be stagnant, and paintings are forbidden to be knotted." Tang Taizong also said on the brushwork: "Don't let there be dead points and dead paintings, and do the way of the book." In the Qing Dynasty, people were even more estranged from their brushwork, coupled with social and political reasons, which formed a rigid and stagnant "pavilion body". However, among those who oppose the "pavilion style", the scholars who advocate the Fa Ti. Unable to get rid of the ills of the board stagnation; the calligraphers of the honorable stele, because "the ancient and modern obstruction, without any questioning", actually used a bald pen to depict the seal book, and used the sheep pen to paint the book, and also drew the strokes to the plate. As for the performance of the board stagnation, there are forms such as dead wood, dead snakes, broken flutes and so on. The dead wood-shaped disease pen is caused by the straight edge of the pen, that is, the so-called "vertical pen straight edge is dry and exposed". The dead serpentine disease pen is the reason why the pen is dragged hard and lacks virtual reality. The broken and poor disease pen is caused by the brush plastering, and is mostly found in the Lishu and Wei stele scripts.
3. Floating thin
The thinness of the pen is also a major drawback. The pen requires vigorous and powerful, ten thousand millimeters of concerted force, force through the back of the paper, "three points of human wood", and the strokes are written as "iron painting silver hooks" to express the vitality of calligraphy art. The problem of floating pens is mostly due to improper pen transportation methods, and today's people obviously lack practical kung fu. Some "calligraphers", not only can not be tight and astringent, the vertical nu can not sway the battle line, and even the horizontal and vertical can not do it, they will inevitably write the strokes as thin and dry, like a defeated vine; or with a sharp edge, the paving is unrestrained, running out of control, the strokes are written like rotten ropes; or the finger wrists cannot work, the pen lies on the paper, and the strokes are written like noodles. Calligraphy is the art of "writing and having the law", and if you can't pass the big mark of penmanship, you can't step into the door of the Calligraphy Art Garden.
4. Vulgar
Calligraphy is an elegant and peculiar art, the most vulgar and indecent. Although there are many drawbacks of the pen, the most abominable is the vulgar state. There are forms of vulgarity, coarseness, wildness, and contempt, and the vulgarity of mannerism is the most repulsive. Turbidity has mixed, dirty, faint, clumsy and other shapes, and the stain of stylus and ink is even more hateful. It can be seen from this that if you want to get rid of the shortcomings of vulgarity, only by adhering to the principle of "books and laws", with the brush of drawing sand and printing mud, writing the strokes vigorously and vigorously, "bright and beautiful", can we get rid of the vulgarity and enter the elegant and fresh artistic realm.
As for the other drawbacks of the pen, such as stylus, ink, entanglement, edges, etc., some have been specified, and some must be involved in the study of a certain font disease pen, which will not be discussed in this section. In short, because the technical nature of calligraphy is particularly strong, and there are many drawbacks of misleading and misleading, it is necessary to clarify right and wrong and raise awareness in order to study smoothly, in order to achieve the Fa and become a family, and contribute to the revival and prosperity of calligraphy art.
