Appreciate excellent official seal calligraphy works

Seal script is an ancient font style in China's calligraphy, which has a great influence on China's calligraphy. Nowadays, the calligraphy works of Zhuanli are deeply appreciated and studied by people. The following is a picture appreciation of my excellent seal script works.

The official seal calligraphy works have beautiful high-definition pictures with big chapters and small chapters before them. As early as more than 6000 years ago, symbols carved on pottery and pictures depicting objects had the embryonic form of words, and then in the long development, pictographic (picture) words were produced. Three thousand years ago, in the Shang dynasty, the words carved on the tortoise bones, namely? Oracle Bone Inscriptions? Calligraphy is thin and straight, and the strokes are not frustrated. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the inscriptions cast on bronze wares such as bells, ding, money and weapons were called? Jin Wen? Or? Zhong Dingwen? . Calligraphy is becoming more and more neat, the style is round and vigorous, and the fonts are varied and uneven. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the characters carved on stone drums were called Shi Guwen. The strokes are vigorous and dignified, slightly square in structure and beautiful in style. The above Oracle bones, inscriptions on bronze inscriptions and Shi Guwen were called "Da Zhuan" in Qin Dynasty.

Li Si, the originator of the exquisite seal script, was born in Shangcai (now Shangcai County, Henan Province) during the Warring States Period. Later, he did the Qin Dynasty, and compiled and formulated the regular script and seal script of the Qin Dynasty. The stone tablet "Yishan" existing in Xi 'an stele forest was carved in the Song Dynasty. Most of the carved stones in the book have been destroyed, only two original stones remain. According to legend, Li Si wrote Qin Daijin and stone carvings. Qin has seven well-known identities, among which the length of characters is often very important, and Li Si's seal script is the crystallization of unifying 28 languages on the basis of Qin's original seal script. Golden eagles have the right, quantity and imperial edict, and stone carvings include Yishan, Taishan, Langyatai, Zhegang, Jieshi and Huiji. Therefore, the most famous calligraphy in the Qin Dynasty is the stone engraving of Qin Xiaozhuan. The Qin Dynasty in which Li Si lived was an important period in Chinese history. Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries, the same world, and the chaos of the Warring States. Li Si was falsely accused by Zhao Gao and beheaded in Xianyang at the age of 70. Dignified, dignified and even solemn, the carved stone of Qin dynasty reveals the general situation of Qin empire under centralized dictatorship. After the same, Qin was extremely powerful, which was reflected in the written language and must be adapted to it.

The historical evolution of seal script came into being in the pre-Qin and Fu periods in China. Archaeologists proved that Oracle Bone Inscriptions was painted on tortoise shells and animal bones. Because it is used for divination and predicting good or bad luck, it is called "Oracle". But it already has the basic elements of China's calligraphy art: pen, structure, composition and so on. During the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, the inscriptions carved on the Yi wares of Zhongding, that is, bronze inscriptions, also known as "Zhong Dingwen", were widely popular.

After the unification of Qin Shihuang, they were collectively called "Xiao Zhuan", also known as "Qin Zhuan". The so-called seal script is actually an official script. It is a standardized common font for official documents. According to documents, there was no special name for the characters of Chinese characters in the pre-Qin period, and Xiao Zhuan gradually evolved from the characters of Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because it is an official book, Xiao Zhuan is only suitable for major occasions, such as remembering merits and carving stones, measuring imperial edicts, playing tiger symbols and so on. The style of standard seal script is neat arrangement, round strokes, even and long lines, showing a solemn and beautiful style. Compared with Oracle Bone Inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, the standard seal script has some basic characteristics: the font is slender, the pen force is tight, and it stretches downward, which constitutes the visual illusion that the upper part is dense and the lower part is sparse, which is also related to the top-down layout. Symmetry of lines No matter how long the stippling is, the strokes are even in thickness. This kind of brush with even strength and speed gives people a pure and simple aesthetic feeling. In addition, the font structure tends to be simple and fixed, and the chapter layout of Xiao Zhuan calligraphy can form a sequence of vertical and horizontal lines. The round pen is different from the round pen, which is represented by Qin carved stone; Fang Bi, represented by the Imperial edict of Qin Dynasty, is a popular style in Qin Zhuan.

The Han and Wei Dynasties were a spent force for Qin Zhuan. Apart from inscriptions, seals and tools, there are few independent seals.

In the Tang Dynasty, seal script was revived because of the appearance of Li, but its heroic spirit was gone.

With the study of epigraphy in the Song Dynasty and the retro style of calligraphy in the Yuan Dynasty, the right to use seal script has risen slightly, and many people are famous for seal script, but they lack the power to surpass it.
