1. The beauty of the overall form

The basic form of the Chinese character is square, but through the expansion and contraction of the dots and paintings and the twisting of the axes and lines, it is also possible to form a variety of different and moving forms, which can be combined to form a beautiful piece of calligraphy. The conjunctive form is mainly affected by two factors: the need to express calligraphic interest; and the formal factors of calligraphic expression.

There are two main ways to build the beauty of the dot painting structure, one refers to a variety of dots and paintings according to a certain combination of direct combination into a variety of beautiful monograms and radicals. The second is to combine various radicals into various character shapes in a certain way. The combination of radicals in Chinese characters is nothing but left-right, left-middle-right, up-down, up-middle-down, encircling, half-encircling, and so on.
