Writing Skills of Wei Ti's Characters

Wei Ti's writing skill is to adopt the tradition of law and lay a solid foundation.

1, learning calligraphy is to innovate on the basis of inheritance. For those who love Wei Bei, we should start with the classic works left over from the Southern and Northern Dynasties and lay a solid foundation for Wei Bei's calligraphy.

2. These foundations include brushwork, glyph, implication, etc. Without these foundations, it is said that Wei Bei's innovation is water without sources and trees without roots.

3. Wei's inscription on a stone seems to have an "obstacle" to learning brushwork, so it is impossible to see its real "nib", so some people say that we should "see the nib through the blade" and let the brushwork "appear".

4. The font of Wei Bei is very special. From official script, some Wei Bei also means official script. Therefore, to really learn Wei Bei well, we need to know something about official script.

Introduction to Wei Ti:

1, Wei Bei is a kind of regular script, Wei Kai, Jin Dynasty regular script and Tang Dynasty regular script are also called the three major regular script fonts. Weibei showed some transitional factors in the development of official script to typical regular script.

2. Regular script existed in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and Zhong You's Shen Bao and Wang Xizhi's Huang Tingjing were already mature regular scripts. However, after a large number of scholars in the Western Jin Dynasty went south with the Jin Dynasty, the calligraphy style in the Northern Dynasty was quite different from that in the Southern Dynasty.

3. The existing inscriptions in the Northern Dynasties are mostly the works of anonymous folk calligraphers, which are different from the so-called "verve" calligraphy style of the literati in the Southern Dynasties.

4. Zhong You and Wang Xizhi completed the transformation from official script to official script. The folk calligraphers in the Northern Wei Dynasty did not inherit too many achievements because of the Jin Dynasty's southward crossing, but followed the development track of folk calligraphy, and more directly evolved from the official script in the Han and Wei Dynasties.
