In fact, the seal book is the starting state of the five bodies, and the lishu is evolved and developed on the basis of the seal book, which is a new book revolution, with 6 basic characteristics. She replaces lines with stippling, and the general trend is flat square, but there is also no lack of square and rectangular zigzags. Let me talk about some of the characteristics of the structure of the book. Test to see if what you're writing is a "fake letter"?
1. The font is flat and square, expanding horizontally
The reason why the lishu has become a flat square has a lot to do with the horizontal extension of its strokes. This is not only manifested in the monogram, but also in the composite character, or in the middle of the word to draw horizontally, or the word part horizontally.
2, top-heavy, breath flying
Because lishu mainly highlights horizontal paintings and does not highlight the strong paintings up and down, the characters are often "top-heavy", which makes Lishu have the tendency to rise and the breath is flying.
3, swallow does not fly double, should be the main pen
Wave (wave horizontal, wave, right oblique hook) in the book - within the word, only one is allowed, the predecessor called "swallow does not double fly", in the selection of generally whether it is in the word in the main pen is appropriate. Using it correctly will give the word a dynamic beauty, which is a principle of writing a book.
4, a "plunder", free and moving
Skimming (skimming) in the book determines the length, expansion and obliqueness according to the glyph. But whether it is long sweep, vertical sweep, horizontal sweep, bend sweep... Generally, when closing the pen, they all return to the front to close, although they do not show the front, but they are free.
5. Disperse its shape, scatter the form and gather
The combination of dot painting in the book looks scattered on the surface, but in fact, not only Ren Daochang, but there are many so-called "calligraphers" similar to Daochang, under the aura of "authority" and "wide respect", and even under the "protection" of the state, society, and law, selling those worthless calligraphy, how to define this behavior? Pointillist and pointillist, parts and parts, or opposite, or accompanying, or absorbing each other, or bearing each other.
6, clumsy in the coincidence, the artistic conception is long
Some of the words in the book of Li, in our view today, the knot body is very clumsy, but careful consideration, we can see that this is the ancients broke the conventional structure, deliberately exaggerated a certain part, in order to achieve the artistic conception of clumsiness, so that the book has a unique style.
