Writing with a pen, a thousand people, a thousand people, why not? Gestures - the genetic code of you and me and his calligraphy. Calligraphy is the action process of writing Chinese character dot painting with a brush in hand, and there are natural strokes and gestures in this action process. Brushwork is the method of using a brush, and gestures are the combination of brushwork when writing Chinese character dot paintings.
Pen writing has three kinds of movement methods of horizontal, up and down and rotation, including "line", "turn", "fold", "lift", "press" and "twist", of which horizontal movement contains "line", "turn" and "fold" three kinds of brushwork; up and down movement contains "lift" and "press" two kinds of brushwork; rotary movement contains "twist" a kind of brushwork.
In the process of writing Chinese characters, the three spatial movements of the brush are not single, but composite. Therefore, the penmanship is also used in random combinations. Only by combining brushwork can we write dot paintings of Chinese characters. Therefore, the combination of brushwork is the inevitable way to write Chinese character dot painting, and there must be a problem of the method of combination, so the combination method of brushwork when writing dot painting is the gesture.
First, the same font, the same word, the same dot painting, different people, their gestures (the combination of brushwork) are different, and the forms of dot paintings written are different. For example, the "捺" painting of the line book characters.
1. The "捺" stroke gesture of the "ren" character in Mi Fu's "He Zhu Ti". Undertake the apostrophe painting, enter the pen from the air, hand over with the apostrophe, "turn" the pen to the right, "line" to the lower right, and naturally "lift" the pen, complete.
2. Su Shi's "Official's Chen GongShibao" "Ren" character "捺" stroke gesture. Undertake the skimming painting, the air "turn" pen, handover with the skimming painting, go to the lower right "line", the left "turn" pen, the skimmer "press" the pen, the "twist" pen along the front "lift" up, complete.
3. Cai Xiang's "Self-written Poems" "Ren" character "捺" brush gesture. Undertake the apostrophe painting, the air "turn" the pen, the handover with the apostrophe, the left "turn" pen, the lower right "line" into the pen, the right " turn" the pen "lift", without showing the horn, complete.
Second, different fonts, different people, the same word, the same dot painting, its gestures (the combination of brushwork) are different, and the dot painting forms are different. Such as rain character "horizontal" painting.
1. Wu Changshuo seal book "rain" word "horizontal" brush gesture. Reverse into the air into the pen, right "turn" pen "line" into, slightly downward arc, categorically "lift" the pen, complete.
2. HanJian book "rain" character "horizontal" stroke gesture. Shunfeng drops the pen, the left "turn" pen "line" forward, slightly upward arc, natural "lift" the pen, complete.
3. Yi Bingshou Lishu "Rain" Character "Horizontal" Brush Gesture. Reverse the pen in the air, "line" to the right, "turn" to the right at the end, "twist" the pen to lift, complete.
4. Huaisu cursive "rain" word "horizontal" brush gesture. Drop the pen in the upper right, go to the upper right "line", and "fold" the pen to write vertical paintings.
5. Su Shixingshu "rain" character "horizontal" brush gesture. The upper left side of the pen takes the posture, the right "turn" pen on the upper right "line" to enter, the natural "lift" pen, complete.
Third, the same font, the same word, the same dot painting, the same person, its gestures (the combination of brushwork) are different, and the forms of dot painting are different. For example, Wang Xizhi's "Zigzag" character has different gestures (combined methods of brushwork), different forms, and numerous postures.
In summary, the three modes of movement in the three-dimensional space of the brush determine that the penmanship is limited. However, finite brushwork can be combined infinitely, and the combination methods are also ever-changing. The penmanship is limited, the gestures are infinite, the penmanship is freely combined, and the gestures are ever-changing, which provides an infinite and vast space for the formation of different faces for calligraphy creation.
