Hello everyone, today we are talking about calligraphy, when learning the structure of characters, does it make sense to draw auxiliary lines?
This question is discussed, mainly because a friend watched the video of Mr. Cui Hanbai, who said in the short video that the auxiliary lines are all traced, just the surface of the structure. And he asked me, "Does it make sense?"
So let's talk about it. Combine some of the words below.
For example, in the above word, its structure is a triangle, which is objective. So in order to make it easier for us to grasp the structure, does it make sense to draw a red auxiliary line?
Here we cannot misunderstand the meaning of Mr. Cui Hanbai, who emphasized that the focus is on natural writing, and the knotting of words follows the trend. This is also the same as what I usually say in my articles. Writing is writing after all, not painting. The knot needs to be attached to the word in a space, which has been expressed in our article.
Structurally, it has nothing to do with tracing.
For example, in the above word, we draw a general mark to illustrate the characteristics of this word. Stroke variations. When copying, it is easy to grasp the structure. This is very beneficial. Copying is not a dead thing, it is alive. The word incense is written conventionally, the top is big and the bottom is small, and when you mark it out, you can see that this word is written in violation of the convention, and it is not the traditional standard way of writing.
This tells us that when we write, the moment changes, and the words are knotted, and this Dharma can be written like this, and we can too. For example, if you write the word "apricot", can you learn from this fragrant character?
This real character, as can be seen through the marking, this character is like a crayfish, hunched, and he is not straight. We can learn from it when we change. This also provides us with the possibility of being attached to the word.
This font is crooked on the left, crooked on the right side, and right on the bottom. It's a dynamic equilibrium. Can we learn from this change when we write? As long as the dynamic equilibrium is found, this character is a feature.
Sublime Chongzi, the overall feeling of the arc green marking. The top is crooked, and the bottom is right. Draw the elongation support balance. This is also a kind of dynamic equilibrium. We need to notice how it changes when we copy. Can't write too plainly, right?
The big and small collocation, I marked it, and everyone could see the change at a glance. Wouldn't it be easier to grasp when copying?
The word is far away, and it is still a triangle. The change in the three-hand hand is the speed at which the pen is put into the paper. The first one is skimmed into the paper spread, the second is slower to be laid down, and the third is slower to be laid out.
The distant word is flat on the top and tilted on the go. Mark it, everyone will notice this kind of positive and oblique change, if you follow the yellow mark, can it? Yes, very positive, very square, it has become Yan Zhenqing's words.
This double side is very distinctive, we can also play it, the double side is overall upright. The upper right is slanted, and the lower zigzag is positive.
Si, the left side is slanted, the right side is positive and the strokes are heavy. Drawing it out to assist, copying is really simple, isn't it?
So the question is, is the drawing guide a tracing?
No!
Why not?
In terms of the meaning of the pro post:
1. Respect the original post and analyze the principle, so that we can understand the truth of a word change. For example, finding a balance in dynamics. Use contradictory relationships, and so on.
2. Learn the truth in the post, so that we can draw inferences. The purpose of learning is to apply what you have learned and bring forth the new. Without the first step, where can there be a follow-up?
What is Tracticing?
You need to know that. For example:
Zhao Mengfu's words above, the line of writing route is as shown in the figure. Lu Feng started to write, and finally came out, and the middle part was hidden. The knot is put on and down. Then we pick up the brush and write according to this idea, and write out a rather non-word-like appearance. This is called regular copying.
Or this is not the word, if you write it out is a green-red shape. You and Zhao Mengfu are not exactly the same, that's normal. If you read the post while drawing slowly, the final writing is like a double tick below.
As shown in the picture above, then you don't need to look at it to draw and write. Why? Because according to the same method, there will inevitably be a difference when you write it, and if you write exactly the same, it is basically the product of slow writing, because not to mention you, even if you let Zhao Mengfu write again, there will be eighty percent or nine images, and it is impossible to be 100% the same as pasting and copying. The person who writes cannot write well without the calligraphy.
Only by mastering the method of writing is the true meaning of copying. Once you have mastered the feeling of using a pen, you can write quickly and well. Moreover, it conforms to the law and the objective laws of the human body.
This is the meaning of natural writing that Mr. Cui Hanbai said.
Why can't it be written 100% the same?
1. Manual writing, not a printing press, cannot be accurate. For example, when we make a payment, we print it in lead. Who can guarantee that they will be 100% horizontal and vertical? unless they use a ruler to draw the auxiliary line before operating.
2. We copy a lot of things, especially when we widely absorb other characteristics and techniques, it will affect you the most.
For example, if I start writing Yan Kai, then even if I write Ouyang Xun, even if I can use Ouyang Xun's method, I will inadvertently still reveal the shadow of Yan Ti. The same is true for writing Wei Bei Kaishu, pay attention to copying the square pen is very good, and if you don't pay attention, it will not be so square.
Others write European style, and he writes Yan style, which is not that taste. These are all changes brought about by profound copywriting. So people who learn calligraphy, there are those who learn Chu Suiliang, there are those who learn Wei Bei, and there are those who learn, when everyone copies Zhao Mengfu, it will inevitably change the original appearance of Zhao Ti.
No, Wang Xianzhi, his last stroke is short. If you often write about Wang Xianzhi, you will feel this way when you copy.
Pictured above, Su Shi's.
The picture above is Ouyang Xun.
Above, Yan Zhenqing's.
When you write, it's okay to copy, but the intention or natural writing will more or less bring a little shadow of others.
How to check if the copy is in place?
Deliberately take out a word to see if you get the feeling of the original post. It's okay to be able to do eight or nine achievements.
In fact, what Mr. Cui Hanbai is against is 100% the same copying, and the same copying as the tracing and painting characters. You draw guides to get closer to the original post. Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and you can only write on your own. It depends on which level you stand at and what method you use. Beginners learn a copybook, boldly analyze the copybook, and boldly mark regular things.
When I write, I use the skills and methods I have learned to write boldly about myself, so as to ensure that the law has my own self. Best of both worlds.
Everything starts from reality. For example, if you are in the Mongolian steppe, you have more beef and mutton and less vegetables, and you mainly eat beef and mutton every day. Someone will tell you that eating meat every day is easy to get coronary heart disease, so you need to mix meat and vegetables...... Stay away from such a person, because he does not understand your situation and directs blindly.
Well, that's it, I wish you all a hard time! Happy Holidays!
