What is good calligraphy?

First, the way of calligraphy, the principle of yin and yang

Pointing constitutes writing, and lines make calligraphy. Its size, length, width, thickness, moist, shade, black and white, intermittent, straight, up and down, rigid and soft, fast and slow, light and heavy, beautiful and ugly, joys and sorrows, smart and so on, are just yin and yang. It is the way of mutual root, transformation and combination of yin and yang.

Second, relaxed and natural, light and round.

Cai Yong's "On Pen": "A Book of Writers". If you want to make a reservation, you must first open your arms and let your feelings follow your inclinations, and then make a reservation; If forced, although Zhongshan rabbit is not good at all. Fu Shu, first sit quietly and meditate, feel at ease, say nothing, be angry and look dense. If you are supreme, there is nothing wrong with that. The premise of aesthetic creation is: the body is relaxed and calm, the air is quiet and there is no desire, and no desire leads to communication. Light spirit and long life are the general requirements for writing, stippling and form and spirit; Avoid rigidity, stagnation, sluggishness, decay and death.

Third, lift the button and turn it, and the front is all around.

This is the basic requirement of writing. Gently press it, and the circle turns to itself, tumbling left and right, hovering up and down, which is the wonderful luck of Mifei's "eight sides out". In this way, both the middle and the side are applied, and the Fiona Fang is applied simultaneously. The lines are changeable, the stippling is rich, and the characters are changeable, which drives the pen as much as possible.

Fourth, combine rigidity with softness to get opportunities.

Chen Tai Ji Chuan combines rigidity with softness, and has both speed and speed. He can relax when he moves, shaking like thunder, and calmly and slowly when he is still, like spinning. So is calligraphy. Walking grass is shaped by the situation, moving like a river, quiet like a mountain, sick like a bird, and slow like a gurgling. But we must seize the opportunity, make the best use of the situation, and we will naturally succeed.

Five, the actual opening and closing, unpredictable

The opening and closing of the virtual and the real are boxing classics. This principle applies to calligraphy. Pointing at the shape, planning the layout of the article, and counting the white as black are the opening and closing of the virtual and the real. Not what kind of words to expect, what kind of situation to lay out. Taiji legend says "mind first, body later", and calligraphy has the saying "meaning first". However, the pen is driven by emotion, and the words move with the trend. It is often done when it has to be done, and it has to stop. The so-called unfathomable is called God. Preface to Lanting Collection was written after drunkenness, so I can't go back when I wake up. The manuscript of "Sacrificing My Nephew" is also an obvious example.

Sixth, cage everything, vertical and horizontal.

"For the text of a book, you must enter its shape. If you sit and walk, if you fly, if you lie down and lie down, if you are sad and happy, if the insect eats wood leaves, if the sword is long, if the bow is strong and the arrow is hard, if it is fire and water, if it is cloud, if it can be seen vertically and horizontally, it can be called a book. " To learn calligraphy, we must look up, learn from others, concentrate on the Eight Extremes, wander in Wan Ren, and walk with creative colleagues. The so-called "learning from nature" and "learning from nature" are the source of the heart.

Seven, sex, pen for ink.

Tao is a book, with different principles. Everyone can learn calligraphy, but there are thousands of people (unless the book slaves are imprisoned by the ancients for life). Why? Temperament and knowledge make it. Pen-like ink feelings, that is, human temperament. As the ancients said, calligraphers are like scholars, like learning, like talent, like ambition, and in short, like people. "The value of calligraphy lies in its bookish spirit. Without learning, everyone can write hard and become a calligrapher.

Eight, like nature, a god.

Calligraphy is also a dialectics, which requires unity of opposites, harmony without difference, blood circulation, surging breath and lively and natural vitality. Don't care about the gains and losses of a painting, a city and a pool, but pursue the artistic appeal of the whole article. Jade must be cut before it can be made into tools. Calligraphy, on the other hand, is the best way to avoid deliberate carving and depict dragons and embroidered phoenixes. This is just a beautiful calligraphy, made by craftsmen, without a brainwave.

Nine, excellent industry and diligence.

Tai Chi never goes out for ten years. So is calligraphy. Tai Ji Chuan and calligraphy are the hardest work, which the weak can't do. If you want to achieve something, you can't achieve it without Mo Chi's contribution and long-term education. Only by respecting, being diligent, studying, thinking, accumulating over time, and learning from many teachers and friends can we gradually enter the Olympic Mathematics and reach the realm.

Ten, people and books are old and determined to make a living.

You Jun's calligraphy is late, but Yu Xin's article is old. Sun's Book Score puts forward three stages of learning calligraphy: first as a teacher, still as a teacher; Knowing that justice is right, we must pursue danger; It can avoid danger and restore justice. At first, it was not enough, then it was over, and then there was a meeting. At the meeting, people and books were old. "Calligraphy, like Tai Ji Chuan, is a double major. Through unremitting calligraphy practice, you can cultivate your sentiment, change your temperament, clear your heart and see your nature, and prolong your life. When you do things every day, you should let nature take its course and do what you want from the heart.
