History of the Nine Palm Grid

The Nine Palm Grid is said to have been created by Ouyang Xun, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty. Ouyang Xun's "Nine Palace Sweet Spring Inscription", rigorous and strong, complete law, is the masterpiece of his later years, has always been praised by scholars as "the first of Zhengshu", and there are many imitators.

In order to facilitate the practice of calligraphy, Ouyang Xun created the "nine-gallery grid" in accordance with the characteristics of Chinese characters. Nine Palace Grid, a small grid in the center called "Middle Palace", the upper three grids called "Upper Three Palaces", the following three grids called "Lower Three Palaces", the left and right grids are called "left palace" and "right palace", used in the practice of calligraphy against the inscription of the word shape and dot painting arrangement of the appropriate part, or used as a font to reduce and enlarge.

To the Yuan Dynasty, the calligrapher Chen Jie had further developed the nine-gong structure. He said in the "Hanlin Tips", in order to adapt to the requirements of the word, the sparseness of the dots and drawings, each stopping point, the boundaries of the paintings evenly distributed, change the horizontal and vertical three palaces for the horizontal and vertical nine palaces, into nine hundred and ninety-eight palaces, which is more convenient to copy accurately.

To the Qing Dynasty, the calligrapher Jiang Ji in his book "reading method theory", and according to the characteristics of the font structure of the Chinese characters and the different forms, simplify and simplify, and change the nine palaces into four forms:

One, the original nine hundred and eighty-one palaces, horizontal and vertical each removed three palaces, into six hundred and sixty-six 36 palaces.

Second, the thirty-six palaces of the left and right lines of the twelve palaces removed, into twenty-four palaces, suitable for writing rectangular characters; or the upper and lower lines of the twelve palaces removed, also into the twenty-four palaces, suitable for practicing flat characters.　

Three, the 36-gong shape into a double back shape, used to write square characters.　

Fourth, the 36 Gong shape into a field shape, and in the upper two Gong from the same apex each draw a diagonal line, forming a human character, used to write the cover like the human character shape of the word.

This does not seem to be easy, through long-term practice, the descendants have improved two simple and practical practice grid: one for the TianZiGe, one for the MiZiGe.

Tianzigraphy is to draw a "ten" character in the box, divided into four compartments, according to this grid to study the characters, easy to arrange the word's inter-frame structure, center of gravity, and the diagonal of the strokes and sparseness. Mizigraphy is based on the Tianzigraph and then draw two diagonal lines, shaped like the word "rice", this kind of square grid is similar to the spider's web, it is easy to judge the position of the whole character and the individual strokes when practicing the character.　

The above mentioned nine-gallon grid and variable nine-gallon grid are still used by beginners today. They are not only suitable for learning brushstrokes, but also for learning hard-copy calligraphy. When basically mastered the word point, structure, momentum, etc., you can get out of the "nine square grid" and other boundaries, the pen free roam.　

"Nine palace grid" also refers to the poem clock's sub-chant grid. The upper and lower verses of the poem are never similar, and the words are closely matched, the content and form of mixed interaction, as in the ancient Mingtang nine palaces, hence the name.

Ching Mo You Tang "Ping Long Cao Tang Poetry," Volume 4, cited in the Qing Sun Jie "Yu Mo Even Talk Sequel," "sub-lifted not similar to the two things, written into two words, the name of the Nine Palace Grid. Such as walking horse lamp to crab chrysanthemum cloud: 'cast feet in the fire is still good to go, under the fence is also horizontal'; 'Sunset outside the door to explore the news, cold food between the Poon Le advocate with.' The first is to make sure that you have a good understanding of the situation, and that you have a good understanding of the situation.

The name of the nine palace, cover the meaning of its mixed interaction."　The "predecessor" of Sudoku, the nine-gang grid, first originated in China. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors invented the Luoshu, which is characterized by more complexity than the current Sudoku, requiring that the sum of the three digits vertically, horizontally, and diagonally equals 15, rather than the simple nine digits that cannot be repeated.

The "Nine Palaces Diagram" in the Taoist classic "I Ching" also originated from this, so it is called "Luoshu Nine Palaces Diagram". The name "Nine Palaces" is also due to the I Ching in the history of Chinese cultural development and the important position of the preservation, used to this day.
