Pen breaking is the aesthetic principle of the structural connection between calligraphy strokes, so how to deal with the relationship between broken and connected in calligraphy?
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, how to write a broken meaning?
"Breaking" is the ancient method, that is, the interruption of the form of strokes and structures. "Lian" is the new law, that is, the connection of gestures and qi pulses. Generally speaking, after writing for a long time, it will tend to be skilled, and naturally there will be a lot of strings, which will make your works flowing and elegant. However, if you want to express the ancient meaning, you must use it.
Some jianghu calligraphers never post, which is mistakenly understood as one-shot. Writing is eager to connect them all, and the dragon flies and dances, which is a very tacky practice. When we look at the ancients writing, at first they all wrote one stroke at a time, and then they had two strokes to write together.
The pen is broken, and the words are broken
For example, the words in the Wei Jin Jian Mu, even the cursive writing is broken to write, and continuous winding is rare. When Wang Xizhi arrived, he wrote in groups of three or four strokes, and later Wang Xianzhi went to the Tang and Song Dynasties, and could write many words in one breath.
Breaking and connecting is a set of elements in calligraphy, but also a pair of contradictions. For example, in cursive works, lian and broken are accompanied by each other, continuously and imposingly. When it is broken, it is broken, and the strange is self-extrusive. How to break? Where to break? How to achieve disconnection is a problem that must be paid attention to in creation.
Calligraphy breaks the relationship with the connection
Therefore, the interruption and continuity in calligraphy reflect the speed of the rhythm of calligraphy or cursive writing, the connection between momentum and qi rhyme, etc., which is also an important dialectical unity concept of calligraphy art.
