Characteristics of Regular Script Calligraphy

The Regular Script has an important historical position in China, and its font style is very characteristic. So, what are the characteristics of China's italic script font? The following are the characteristics of the Regular Script Calligraphy that I have organized for you, I hope it can help you.

Characteristics of Regular Script Calligraphy

Regular Script is also called ? orthography? ,? True Script? and why is it called ? Why is it called "italic"? means that his font can be used as a model. He is one of its classic fonts.

I believe we still have the impression that when we were young, we bought the most common Chinese character copying post is the Regular Script, which is characterized by: square shape, straight strokes, pay attention to the use of the pen.

Strokes have a mention of the time, hiding dew, square and round, fast and slow; strokes both up and down in an orderly manner, the strokes are clear, solid and powerful, and stop and constant, straight and not rigid, curved and not weak, smooth and natural; in the structure of the Regular Form, the center of gravity is smooth, proportional and appropriate, the character shape is correct, and in line with the norms.

So written as a child regular script is also the first font we started, he can be very good for us to understand the structure of Chinese characters, but also to test our writing skills.

As a font that has gone through more than a thousand years of Chinese civilization and the refinement of countless masters of calligraphy, the italic script is elegant, literate, and has a strong cultural connotation. So it is often used in some of the traditional, cultural flavor of the printed materials.

Characteristics of the strokes of the regular script

Characteristics of the strokes of the Regular Script Pen

The Regular Script Pen emphasizes the balanced distribution of the strokes and radicals in the structure, the center of gravity is smooth, proportionality is appropriate, and the character shape is upright and in line with the norms. Words and words are arranged together in a proportionate size, neat lines. Although there are also morphological variations, but on the whole it is still neat and tidy.

Characteristics of Regular Script Brush Strokes

Dots

Dots are the condensation of some long strokes, such as the eyes of a character, the spirit of a character. Short dots should be written lightly, light into the heavy collection, not too sticky for too long, quickly into the next stroke, so that the dots can be written out of the spirit; long dots relatively slower, so that it appears to be a little more calm; such as a word with a few dots, it is necessary to pay attention to the changes between the dots and the point of the connection between the pen should be fast, a breath of fresh air.

Horizontal

Horizontal strokes are the most used strokes in Chinese characters. It is the backbone of a character, usually slightly lower on the left and higher on the right, and can be light or heavy, faster and heavier in the beginning, and heavier in the end. The strokes should be written with flexibility. Several strokes appear in the same word, can not write the same, can be in the length and direction of a little change. For example: ? Tu? , the upper horizontal slightly oblique, the lower horizontal slightly bulging;? three? , three crosses can never be written the same length, the weight of the pen also has a change.

Vertical

Vertical often play a supporting role in a, especially in the vertical, long vertical should be straight and strong, long vertical and vertical hanging vertical, hanging needle vertical points, generally heavier, down the line, slightly lighter, hanging heavier; hanging needle is down, out of the front of the pen, the pen to close the appropriate point. Only when the last stroke of a word for the vertical drawings, you can use the hanging needle vertical.

The vertical is not exactly vertical, and it is not easy to write vertically, it is like a person standing, it is not always possible to stand straight, as long as the station is right on the line. When writing, you should be bold and overly? The most important thing is that you should not be too serious about it. The most important thing to remember is that it's counterproductive. And some vertical drawings, especially some short vertical, side vertical itself should be written more oblique, such as:? The side of the vertical, the side of the vertical, the side of the vertical, the side of the vertical. The side of the vertical, the side of the vertical, the side of the vertical, the side of the vertical, the side of the vertical. The side verticals of ? The center of the vertical.

Skimming

The writing method is the same as the hanging needle vertical, but when practicing, pay attention to observe the difference in the length and direction of the strokes. For example: ? After? The word two apostrophes, you can not write the wrong, otherwise, Zhang Guan Li Dai, extremely difficult to see.

Press

Press, also known as the wave painting, as the name implies, is the undulation of the strokes. There are two types of presses: oblique press and flat press.

Slanting down, the pen is lighter, to the right down from light to heavy strokes, line to the foot of the foot out of the pause and then to the right horizontal direction of the pen out of the front, to close the pen to the tip.

Flat down, the same as above, start writing a short horizontal, and then down to the right (slightly flatter) line.

There is also a variant, in the same character appears a few down painting, often only retain the last down painting, the other down painting changed to a long point, such as ? This?

Tip

It is written in the same way as the short horizontal stroke, with a heavier start, and then a heavier to lighter stroke upwards to the right, with a strong finish.

Fold

This is a combination of strokes, the key in the fold, it is appropriate to slow down the writing, first pause and then fold. Like a car turn, can not be too fast, there is no need to deliberately tracing, to be a breath of fresh air.

Hook

is also a combination of strokes, in the writing of other strokes on the basis of hook strokes to hook out of the powerful, some of which are curved strokes ---- in the end what is written into the appearance of the beautiful enough to need their own more speculation.

Characteristics of the regular script

1, point painting complete. Regular script dots point, horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, down, mention (pick), fold, hook eight. Generally specific in writing, the horizontal painting, vertical painting, skimming painting of the starting pen as well as the horizontal painting of the closing strokes more for the staccato; skimming painting at the closing stroke gradually lifting the pen out of the front; down painting the closing strokes first gradually laying down the hair weight, and then gradually lifting the pen out of the front; strokes where the turn is often for the staccato, hooks for a special kind of turn, in the stationary after the picking of the pen out of the front, which is also the Regular Script's unique performance of the point of paintings, i.e., compared to the Official Script, Regular Script save the change of the tearing off of limbs and increased the hooks. The hook is added. There have been many discussions on the Regular Script point painting in history. The Regular Script is characterized by neat and regular strokes. The specific writing methods and requirements for the eight basic dots and drawings of the Regular Script are? Eight Methods The Eight Methods. For example, Ouyang Xun of the early Tang Dynasty wrote "The Eight Methods", which summarized the basic forms of the eight kinds of dots and drawings in the Regular Script. After that, Zhang Huai of the Tang Dynasty said in "Yutang Banned Scriptures", "In all brushwork, there are eight types of dots and drawings. The eight forms of strokes and drawings are prepared in? Yong? The word "Yong" is used to describe the eight styles of brushwork. and there is a diagram showing the eight forms of the Regular Script. Yong? and a diagram showing the eight kinds of strokes of the character "Yong". The Regular Script has strict requirements for dots and strokes, and all kinds of strokes have their own norms and standards, which cannot be changed arbitrarily. Such as? to? character, the last stroke next to the standing knife must be made into a hook, and can never be written as? Hanging needle? Another example is? The last stroke of the word "to" is a vertical curve, so it must not be written as a vertical horizontal or vertical. The last stroke of the character is a vertical bend, it must not be written as a vertical horizontal or vertical fold. It is also required that The strokes should not be written meticulously. and each stroke should be based on the starting, falling, turning, folding and closing of each stroke. Previously, the seal script and official script were used as? The formal style of calligraphy

2. The characters are square and neat. It is generally believed that the Chinese script is? The Chinese characters are generally regarded as "square characters". In the seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script, it should be said that the regular script is the most square character shape. In the Regular Script, although there are very few square characters in the strict sense of the word, all of them have square as their basic font. Among the various fonts, the structure of the Regular Script is different from that of the Seal Script, which is horizontal and vertical, and even and white, as well as from that of the Running Script, which is free and scattered. The Regular Script requires that the word formation in the ? The Regular Script requires the characters to be square, proportional, fluttering and jagged. The characters are square and neat.

First, we must take the situation according to the word, because of the word shape, proportionality and coordination. Analyzing Chinese characters from the structural point of view, there is a separate structure, left and right structure, up and down structure, encircling structure and comprehensive structure. In specific words, it is necessary to deal with them according to the specific situation so as to harmonize them. Generally speaking, the characters of left-right structure are wider, the characters of up-down structure are longer, the characters of encircling structure are more square, the characters of separate structure are tighter and slightly smaller, and the characters of comprehensive structure are slightly larger.

Second, the horizontal and vertical curves, the whole character is flat. Generally people read the regular script, always think it is? The Chinese government has been working on this issue for a long time. and we really write the Regular Script, but the horizontal is not flat, the vertical is not straight, the horizontal drawings are mostly tilted to the right, the vertical is also slightly curved. It is for this reason that we say that the characters in the Regular Script are? Pingzheng? refers to the flatness of the entire character, not the flatness of specific strokes. The whole character of the correctness of the center of gravity requires stability, balance and coordination of all parts of the left and right correspondingly.

The third is? The character of the regular script is basically proportional and coordinated. When the character is formed, it is not a matter of time before the character is formed, but of time before the character is formed. The first is that the character is not a "black" character, but a "white" character. is very important. The division of space between dots and paintings should be proportional, and there should not be too much disparity between thick and thin, long and short, sparse and dense, but at the same time, we should pursue the beauty of vividness in proportionality. Sun Guanting's "Book Records" says: "When you first learn to distribute, but seek to be even and square. Beginning to learn to distribute, but seek to level; both know the level, the pursuit of danger; both can danger, return to level. That is to say that the excellent regular script handwriting is the structure of flat in the strange, static in the movement, is flat and not dull.
