calligraphy has its own characteristics and rules in the five styles of "seal, clerical, regular, running and cursive" brushwork, which actually has its own regulations. If you use the brushwork of seal and clerical script to write regular script, use the brushwork of Tang Kai to write Jin Kai, and use the brushwork of running and cursive script to write seal and clerical script, these are all brushwork that does not understand the brushwork of calligraphy and does not follow the characteristics and rules of brushwork.
1, , seal script brushwork
, learn seal script from the hands of small seal script, easy to learn brushwork. The brushwork of Xiaozang is to use a round brush to hide the tip of the brush. Hidden the head and protect the tail; move the center of the strokes, smoothly and roundly, without obvious rough changes.
2. The brushwork of official script
. The brushwork of official script is obviously richer than that of small seal script. Seal script uses round brushes, with more turns and fewer turns. The pens used in official script include lifting and pausing, and the starting stroke is square and round. The main strokes (wave picking) use the reverse tip to start and the center tip to run (same as seal script). The end stroke is used to end, and the strokes are like silkworm heads and dove tails. This is the biggest difference between the use of the brush from seal script.
3, the brushwork of regular script
(taking the middle Tang regular script as an example) The super, running and ending strokes of middle Tang regular script are generally consistent with seal script, except that when starting the stroke, there are square and round strokes, and the basic strokes are richer than seal script (there are eight basic strokes in regular script. Generally speaking, there are only two strokes of straight strokes and arc strokes). There are obvious signs of the "outward tip and end stroke" of vertical, stroke, and flirting strokes in regular script.
4. The brushwork of running and cursive script
0. The brushwork of running and cursive script is richer than that of regular script. In the process of starting, running and collecting the brush, the reverse tip, the center tip, the side tip, the back tip, and the outgoing tip are all available. In particular, the big grass (crazy grass) also has sideways, broken tips, and scattered tips, with unpredictable changes and rich and colorful styles. For the changes in the brushwork in the five-style seal, clerical, regular, running and cursive calligraphy, please refer to the table below.
