First, the size of the length
First of all, we must grasp the size and length of the glyph as a whole. The ancients said that writing is the most afraid of "words like operators", in terms of knots is to avoid the size of words, if so, there is no artistry to speak of. Mastering this law well can enable us to have an overall grasp of the glyphs of a single word when copying and creating. This is the most error-prone beginner copying process.
Second, the flat side
For the sake of the rules, the line can be straight or sideways, but the center of gravity of the word must remain stable. Different styles of xingshu have different degrees of side, such as the degree of side of The Book of Mi Fu is larger than that of Zhao Ziang's Book.
3. Reduce the province link
Another big difference between xingshu and calligraphy is the continuous echo of the pen under the xingshu, which makes the direction of the dot painting strengthened, and the performance of qi is more intense, which is manifested in the knot, that is, the strokes are simplified, and these connected strokes form a combination of different interests and contrast.
Fourth, retract and retract
In order to contrast the needs of change, a certain stroke (part) of the word shrinks left and right, highlighting another stroke (part); in order to contrast the needs of change, a certain stroke (part) of the word stretches up and down, and the other stroke (part) shrinks.
Fifth, dense and even
The white cloth of the book is generally symmetrically white, and the white cloth of the book is much richer than the white of the white cloth of the book, and the white of the book is even and open, and there is a sparse and dense. This is also easy for beginners to make mistakes, easy to write evenly distributed, no fun at all.
Sixth, open and close to the back
The so-called open means that the strokes of the word have a tendency to expand outward; the so-called combination refers to the tendency of the strokes of the word to converge inward. Opening and closing is also known as "back to the back", the back is open, and the head is closed. The palace in the rice line book is tightly closed, the knot word is mainly open (back), the yan xing book is tight on the outside and loose inside, and the knot word is mainly combined (toward). In fact, every bookmaker's knot has open and close, or open and close, close and open, so that the party is vivid.
Seventh, there is a concession
There are concessions between the inside of the words, and the strokes can be interspersed with echoes and unite as one. It should be pointed out that the degree of the line of writing is greater than that of the letter. The letters in letters still keep the strokes in the words not overlapping, and the lines of the book will sometimes be connected with several strokes, and there are overlapping parts. Such as "crane", "Qu", "final", "autumn", "brigade" and other words.
Eighth, jagged and staggered
In order to avoid the flatness of the characters, the various parts of the words are moderately staggered, but the center of gravity is stable, vivid and interesting, and the creative performance of the calligrapher is also experienced. For example, "report", "body", "rainbow", "hong" is the dislocation of the upper and lower levels, and "half year old" is the dislocation of the left and right.
9. Where the same is the same, it will change
The same dot painting in a word should be handled differently, such as the word "shape"; the same part of the word must also be changed, such as the word "feather"; there are words with the same side head together, and the side head must also be changed, such as "Shi Tired"; in a work, the same word appears many times and also requires changes, such as the change of several "good" words in the "Poetry of The Silk Of the Dragon River".
