An accurate copy of Wang Xizhi's Orchid Pavilion Preface
Accurate copying is a very necessary and crucial step in learning the classical tradition.
General access can only grasp the general style of the classic model, and once this general appearance becomes a fixed feeling, it will be more and more empirical and simplified.
And it will lead to the imitation of the same book style but different styles of classic works in the future, will use the same stereotype for stylization, resulting in all the classics are not clear, and the copyer can only learn the classic skin forever.
The precise copying we require is to show the technical appearance of the original post as accurately as possible, including the various forms of stroke lines and the characteristics of the knot shape.
For example, the pen used in the "Orchid Pavilion Preface":
The "Yong" character of "Yonghe Nine Years", its first dot pen is in the shape of an "S", the pen is closed to the lower right corner and then back to the front, and the last pen has two dun pens with two edges and two corners and then the sharp pen is sharp, rather than a simple triangular dun pen out of the front;
The four vertical pens in the upper part of the "belt" word "reflecting the left and right" are different in the direction, weight, press, length and length of the pen, and the horizontal hook in the middle is separated, and the vertical pen is sharp on the left;
The strokes of the "Lang" character of "Tianlang Qiqing" are extremely layered;
The left vertical pen and the right apostrophe pen of the "Huai" character of "Youmu Chenghuai" have a very subtle movement of lifting and flipping;
For example, the knot shape of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface":
Taking the potential: the "universe" of "the universe is large" takes the oblique potential, and the "column" of "listed as the second" also takes the oblique potential of the left low and the right high;
Opening and closing: the "gain" of "temporarily gaining oneself" takes the upward and downward opening trend;
Denseness: The word "when" of "when it is happy to meet" leaves two blank spaces in the middle of the dense middle.
How to do careful observation, keen eyes, accurate judgment, and then achieve hand-eye unity, the observed technical characteristics are accurately expressed, so as to achieve the requirements of accurate copying, of course, accurate copying is not to draw the gourd according to the pattern of the word, but by accurately observing the pen and modeling characteristics of each word, natural writing, the technical action as far as possible can be in place.
The Mi Fu Codex is used for accurate copying
1. Select the four words of "Yu", "Bureau", "Ming" and "Xue" in "Zhang Du Da Ti", emphasizing the changes in rhythm, posture and press.
Technical requirements: hanging wrist with fingers, show off the dance of the pen
2. The practice process is divided into three steps
Basically reproduce the overall form, the relationship between primary and secondary, dense, light and heavy is basically accurate.
Local decomposition. Focus on changing the pen edge. Sharp pens, "Lancets", inward and outward expansion, extraction and exaggeration of the characteristics of the Rice Book.
The glyph is first sketched in a one-line trajectory, and after familiarization with the gestures, it is quickly written, and the basic features are accurate
Summary: At this stage, the focus is on the careful observation of the shape of the word and the use of the pen, and the improvement of the main characteristics.
An accurate copy of Huai Su's "Self-Narration Post"
The most typical feature of the grass is a book, which is sprinkled in a longitudinal cage, often unpredictable and fascinating. Some people think that the crazy writing state of Huai Su Dacao cannot be imitated, especially the spirit of Dacao pursued from rationality to sensibility is even more elusive.
Indeed, the mad writing presented by Huai Su, especially his Self-Narration, as we see it, is a medium that is still inseparable from the common cursive form language of reason——— the form of the line (linear, linear), the structure, and the form of the chapter.
We can still follow the scientific and standardized copying training program, and copying is the only way to get started with any book, and Dacao is no exception.
Reasons for posting: These three columns, the distribution of circular arcs and straight lines, the immovable thin and straight lines and the instantaneous contrast of hairy lines, and the articulation between words and words, are enough to peek into the richness of Huaisu cursive techniques.
1. Observe the shape of the starting pen and observe the corresponding feeling of pressing the pen with the pen. Round pen like the word "years".
2, the arc of the arc observation, the "holy" word of the two words within the circle, reverse and turn, pay attention to the twisting pen tube, the pen edge to keep the pattern unbiased, but also flexible and appropriate, need to observe and practice many times.
The arc can be supplemented by multiple repetitions and comparisons of double hooks and single hooks, and the double hook can feel and experience the details from it, which can make the linear shape become three-dimensional, and the jagged shape of the line edge includes the corresponding pen on the inside and outside of the soothing place and the sharp turn, which can also judge the corresponding pen action of stopping, stopping and frustrate.
3. The pen action of the straight line corresponds to the exercise such as the "grass" word is mainly straight, the horizontal and vertical line of the "year", and the corresponding pen action decomposition of the horizontal line of "its, large, and therefore".
4. The accuracy grasp of the structural form is based on the skillful and accurate linear shape, and it is necessary to actively follow the connection between the word and the word, such as the distance between the upper and lower words, the opening and closing of the left and right components, the misalignment of the upper and lower parts, etc. All need to be extremely careful and accurately observed and memorized.
5. The more meticulous the observation of the formal constituent elements of the chapter, the more professional the study to some extent.
Comparing your own work with the original post, comparison is a good way, the more stringent the requirements, the more detailed the comparison, the deeper the understanding of accuracy. Under the strict requirements of accurate copying, multiple comparisons and repetitions can gradually establish a corresponding pen action paradigm.
A copy of Zhou Feng's "Yishan Stele"
Accurate copying
First, the accurate copying of the "Yishan Stele" is a classic Dharma post for learning the small seal.
From the perspective of artistic style, the peaceful appearance of "Yishan Stele" contains a majestic atmosphere, and the lines are rich and beautiful without losing fortitude and composure, known as "iron wire seal".
The so-called "iron wire" is a line that is rigid and soft, a seemingly beautiful arc, which does not allow half a hesitation, and has both square and round circles, reflecting the beauty of tenacious vitality.
In terms of space requirements, pay attention to the symmetry of cloth and white, showing the most basic orderly beauty of calligraphy. In the proportion of black and white, it is required to count white as black, and the tension of the space naturally promotes the strength of the line, and the black and white complement each other, making the seal character graceful and solemn, dignified and smart.
In terms of writing ability, learning "Yishan Stele" can deeply exercise the balance between left and right, profoundly strengthen the spatial relationship and the most basic elements of the pen, and can consolidate the basic skills for bypassing other books in the future.
The difficulty lies in experiencing the "iron" taste of the real iron wire and "writing" the "Yishan Stele" with a faint "writing". It's like wearing heavy shackles, but you still have to dance a good ballet.
The four characters of "emperor", "emperor", "standing" and "country" in the opening chapter were selected as examples of model characters.
King: Pay attention to the length and width ratio of the whole word, close to the golden section. The precision lies in the subtle curvature of the outer frame of the "white" prefix; the blank spacing between the "white" prefix and the "king"; and the subtle width and narrow contrast between the "white" and "king".
Emperor: The entire length-to-width ratio is also close to the golden section. The difficulty lies in the balanced and slightly changing space of the four arcs in the lower half of the "Emperor", the curvature of different parts of each arc, and the accurate identification of the inner nodes of the arc; another important point is that the ends of the five longitudinal lines in the lower half of the "Emperor" are arranged in an orderly manner.
Standing: This character has few strokes, slightly smaller than the previous two words as a whole, and the length-to-width ratio is also close to the golden section. The difficulty of this word is that the large arc on the left and right sides is round but not soft, graceful and full, which must accurately find out the inner nodes of the arc; but also control the accurate distance between the pen and the bottom horizontal of the two arcs.
The above three words are symmetrical left and right.
Country: Length and width near the golden section. Points of attention: the large frame mouth is slightly large and small; the subtle outer curvature of the four sides of the large frame mouth; the four corners of the large frame mouth are not square and round; the parts inside the large box mouth are evenly white and orderly.
