Reprinted The Three Realms of Calligraphy Appreciation and How to Evaluate Appreciating Calligraphy

The method of evaluating calligraphy works is as follows:

Article 1: The style of calligraphy.

The level of style depends on whether the words and deeds of the calligrapher are in line with traditional Chinese philosophical thoughts, such as the golden mean of Confucianism and the Taoist Tao of nature. This is not only the temperament of life, but also the style of calligraphy. Generally, a person's knowledge, culture, temperament, morality, cultivation, etc. can be reflected in calligraphy.

Of course, it is also necessary to fully understand the philosophical ideas in traditional Chinese culture, and it is not possible to do without this foundation.

Article 2: Richness of calligraphy techniques.

The pen is no longer a simple tool in Wang Xizhi's hands, many of his words are randomly generated, none of them are the same, and the same words can be found in different scripts. The words of Wang Duo and Fu Shan are full of changes at a glance, but some of the same words are easy to be similar.

Change is the source of beauty. If there is to change, there must be risk. The risks of calligraphy mainly include the risks of penmanship, chapter law, ink law, and calligraphy. One of the first things to solve is the risk of penmanship.

Article 3: The difficulty factor of the technology.

The quality of a word depends on the texture of the lines, like the words of Qigong, many people imitate them, and even many people go to fake, but connoisseurs can see them at a glance. In particular, his thin lines cannot be imitated by anyone, because it is very difficult to write. Whether a word is wonderful depends on whether there are "words", and every word will have words, just like poetry has a poetic eye.

"Eye" is about that little bit of change.

When it comes to the realm, it should be the most comprehensive development of the person in an art. This realm is a high degree of abstraction of meaning, the projection and focus of spiritual essence, the artistic awakening of blue chemicals and the soul of the primordial soul, and the multi-dimensional integration of physical performance, objectivity, and human nature. The realm of calligraphy art depends on the skillful pen to walk the dragon and snake, or depends on the swallowing of clouds and seas, or depends on the vicissitudes of poverty of the people who have read the world, or depends on the calm and calm of watching the flowers bloom and fall, and it must be the simple humanistic feelings that the calligrapher puts into the ink pen.

The artistic quality of calligraphy art is divided into four wins: one is the shape wins. The second is to win.

The third is to win. Fourth, the situation wins.

The shape wins, the word is constructed or solemn or dangerous, the pen is healthy, the structure is even, and the skills are harmonious. Yisheng, no matter whether it is clumsy or clumsy, there are rarities in the book, and there is a deep taste in the words. Momentum, male or charming, soft or rigid, all have an unusual sense of movement.

The victory, the aura of style, and the cultural and artistic accomplishment can hit the inner artistic delicacy. The art of calligraphy is a corner of the world. These four victors can get one of them for the great good, and choose people to like each with their own characteristics, and it is not suitable to divide the victory or defeat.

The greatest realm of calligraphy art is to be proficient in Chinese cultural traditions, especially poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing. The second is to grasp the professional skills of various calligraphy and writing. The third is to basically achieve the aesthetic standards of art, and its calligraphy and painting are vulgar and elegant, and the classics will be passed down forever.

The greatest realm of calligraphy art is to make up nonsense, and there is no law; There is nothing in the middle, and there is no way in the law; If there is more law, it will be detained, and if there is less law, it will be chaotic; Faint, faintly visible, unrestrained, all in one! Write again about the mystery and the sense of mystery can no longer be found! All the regulations are the technique, and all the feelings are the way.

The art realm of calligraphy should be based on the technique as the bone, the skill as the assistance, and the culture and art as the soul, on the basis of the eight laws of Yongzi, skillfully grasp the method of waving the pen, the pen and the ink mixing, and interpret the cultural and artistic accomplishment and temperament complex of the calligrapher in the art writing with the book allegorical and the four treasures of the study. To become a realm, we must work hard to improve the quality of all aspects, that is, perseverance is a lesson is the king of water drops and stones, and imitate the laws of all families, and the soul of thin hair broadens the aesthetic concept.

The art of calligraphy is the ability to write. In the book of calligraphers, you can really write the dragon and snake, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent. Regardless of the cursive script, it is necessary to have rules and regulations, and to be dynamic and flexible; To be beautiful and beautiful, to be antique and simple, ......However, the display of the actual effect of this kind of art is not imposed on others, it is a jerky imitation, it is completely a kind of wanton sprinkling of Du Qinglin by the calligrapher, and the middle of the take-off and landing is a beautiful display.

If the art of calligraphy has a realm, it is the main manifestation of this extreme and natural reversal. Achieving this kind of perfect state is not a day's work. There is not only the imitation of mechanical equipment, but also the inner understanding; There are traditional types, but also independent innovation; There are proud ancestors, but also need to have a period design style, which is also the pursuit of perfection in the art of calligraphy.

The highest level of calligraphy is to achieve the unity of human and pen, to write God, calligraphy can convey different feelings, can convey the feelings of writing all things; If you want to achieve this realm, it is not something that can be done in 1 hour and 1 day, you must work very hard to learn, to pursue, to figure out, to comprehend with your heart, and to achieve the unity of people and pens to achieve this realm.

The highest level of calligraphy is that when you practice calligraphy, you will feel very peaceful, and your words will seem to be alive, very smart. You have to practice diligently, you have to ask the master for advice, and you can reach this state.

I think the highest level of calligraphy is to enter the wood into three points, to write God in form, to emotional people; This not only requires the writer to have such profound calligraphy attainments, but also requires him to be able to maintain a calm mind, detach himself from the world, and be able to see through fame and fortune.

The highest level is that you have calligraphy in your heart. I think you should practice a lot, and you have to tell yourself that you are a calligrapher.

The first realm: form recognition.

Calligraphy is a great image art, it is the art of line image, in calligraphy, there are "shape" display everywhere, among them, "shape" has four elements, only the "four elements" appreciated, in order to smoothly enter the first realm. The four elements are format, style, color, and composition. Among them, the most difficult for children to understand is the format, the common format in calligraphy is the banner, the hall, the horizontal drape, the plaque, the bucket, the fan, the couplet, the ruler, the handscroll, the page, the inscription and other formats are the most classic.

The second realm: appreciating quality.

Calligraphy and our writing have the same point, are through a certain tool, the Chinese characters are presented, but do not have calligraphy and artistic temperament, the second realm of children in the appreciation of calligraphy is to discover the "quality", "quality" and "law" of calligraphy, "legal" can be "quality beauty". When appreciating this part, it is necessary to pay attention to appreciating calligraphy, penmanship, chapter law, and ink method.

The third realm: affection.

Calligraphy and painting, in the process of writing, all contain the author's spirit, mind, temperament cultivation, these in our works appreciation, but also pay attention to the content of the appearance, one by one, and only in this way, children can really understand the calligraphy, read thoroughly, in their own calligraphy creation, in order to present their emotions in their own works.

First, learn calligraphy to be diligent, you insist on practicing, calligraphy is no shortcut, words are written out one stroke at a time, only insist on practicing the limbs to practice, after a certain period of time can there be results, do not think about immediate results and one step to the sky.

Second, to learn calligraphy, you need to be diligent in thinking, and it is best to find a teacher. Calligraphy is an art, and to enter the door of art, it is best to have a guide. If you can find a famous master as your teacher, then the effect of learning calligraphy will be twice as effective with half the effort.

If you can't find the old Wu Yunshi, you can often look at the calligraphy and the works of the famous masters of the past dynasties, and think about the structure, shape, strokes, force, layout, etc. of the word when looking at the work, and think about how to make a word have a sense of art, that is, it is both beautiful and beautiful, and has charm. To do this, you need to observe and experience it over time, and I think this is also the state I want to reach.

Third, calligraphy should have its own characteristics. Of course, this refers to a relatively high level of calligraphy. When calligraphy reaches a relatively high level, we should consider adding our own characteristics, plus our own understanding and comprehension of calligraphy, and reflect our own ideas in calligraphy, so that the words are not only tangible and beautiful, but also have gods and gods, which is a good calligraphy.

1. Don't be sleek and sweet with a pen. Han Li, with its broad, simple, majestic, charming, beautiful and other styles, crowned in the past dynasties of the Lishu, must go deep into the Han Li, especially to pay attention to its breath in the pen. Why do many people have to learn the big seal while writing official books?

The better the quality of the lines, the more mellow the breath.

Second, don't be nostalgic for the kind of pen and ink fun of the Qing people. The style orientation of the penmanship can be many ways to go, and there is no need to be nostalgic for that small alley. Take the big road first, and then explore the style at a certain level, and you will find that the little fun that used to be obsessed with being difficult to extricate yourself from is very narrow and ridiculous.

Hurry back and write Han Li seriously.

Third, writing Wei monuments from the ancients is the right way, and the twenty products of Longmen are all good choices. Wei Lingzang is not the best in the treatment of knots, but it is interesting to use a pen, and it can also be compared with Bao Baozi and Bao Longyan. In recent years, many calligraphers have drawn nourishment from the Wei tablet, and have created many special forms of writing by integrating them with official scripts and regular scripts, which can also be referred to.

Of course, the fundamental thing is to learn the law of the twenty products of Longmen, and the style of today's people can be referenced.

Fourth, the combination of Wang Duo and the self, more self. Yesterday's talk about the relationship between time and space, how much more important it is to you than other friends. In your works, you need to pay more attention to the density of the spatial structure and the slowness of the time node.

Once the space of pen and ink and the rhythm of the pen are handled, your creation will gradually be completed.

5. Friends who learn cursive, I recommend learning more self-descriptions. If you put your mind to this, it will be very beneficial to be able to use the pen to perfection as you just said. The lines of Zangzhen's pen are quite level, and the space and momentum of the pen and ink are all wonderful, and learning self-narrative posts can be improved in several aspects.

Sixth, the overall consciousness is good, it is possible to write the Yellow Valley cursive Lian Po Lin is similar, but the writing here is too fragmented, each stroke can not go deep into the pen, floating on the surface, the pen is insufficient, and the momentum is not strong. The brilliance of the Yellow Valley lies in the fact that it seems to be imaginative and does not linger in things, but in the fast line of the pen, it is full of energy, the gesture is vigorous, and the weather is thousands.
