Li Lanqing's calligraphy has the characteristics of gentle and introverted, skillful use of the pen, vigorous and gentle, and silent observance of the law. The beauty of the knot is reflected in the smooth and graceful lines, the rhythm is clear, the shape is relaxed, the manners are all square, and the style is gentle and elegant. Do what should be done, stop at what should be done, words and lines, rules and regulations are embellished with flexible atmosphere. There is more than enough agility, the weather is insufficient, and compared with the older generation of calligraphers, the style of writing is sharply contrasted. Li Lanqing's characters are exquisitely written, retracted freely, become multi-terminal, echo just right, square and branched, and have a reasonable layout. Writing, knotting, impeccable, is actually the work of a master.
It is often said that calligraphy can see the "bones" of the font, that is, the words look very powerful. So what is "bone and muscle"? Xiaobian believes that the tendons in the calligraphy characters refer to the forms expressed in the process of turning and implicating between strokes and strokes, usually more obvious in the line and cursive, some calligraphers show relatively clearly, such as Wang Xizhi, etc., and some calligraphers are less obvious, such as Chu Suiliang, etc., people call it not to be shaped and shaped to the intention, only the calligrapher who truly understands and understands the concept of the tendon can truly appreciate and understand its true meaning.
From the characteristics of the Chinese character language: this word is to accurately express the meaning of the word and make it beautiful and compose Yan in the front of the willow bone in the back, we can not just literally interpret separately, misinterpret the original meaning of the Yan tendon willow bone. If this is the case, explaining the power of the nine bulls and two tigers, can you say that it is the power of the nine cows and two tigers? Yan Jian Liu Bone should be a general metaphor for the characteristics of calligraphy, representing the calligraphy style of Jin Jian All the way, and it is yan and Liu who are unmatched in the strength of the characteristics of point painting, which has created this special vocabulary. But it is not a yan body with many muscles, and the bone health of the willow body is so simple.
Whether it is a tendon or a bone, it is just a metaphor, and everyone's definition is different. My article mainly explains the specific details of Yan Liu, grasp these details, see Yan Liu's feelings and book style characteristics, and this feeling is the same for everyone, otherwise it will be said that this person writes like Yan Characters. Can't be guided by the four words of Yan Jian Liu Bone to have an absolute definition of the two styles of calligraphy. Yanzi tendons are plump but the bones are not weak, willow characters are strong but the tendons are not lacking, and it can be found in serious practice, but there is a big difference between the prominent characteristics of the two. As a great calligrapher, I will certainly not forget that the inside and outside of the bones and bones cannot be abandoned.
