How to Understand the Characteristics of Chinese Traditional Art of Writing

This question ...... I'll try to express my understanding in a rough way, the word more do not blame.

To understand writing, first of all, we must understand the difference between coarse brush and fine brush (writing and brushwork). To talk about one or the other alone is bewildering without comparison.

Working brush is concerned with the line hook shape, class shape and color, the requirements of the fine and dense, with a purely visual point of view to express a sense of artistic beauty. But because of its longer drawing time, compared to a similar craftsman like investing a lot of time in the water grinding work, and even more so because of its excessive investment in energy, so it is quite simmering.

And writing, whether it is half-work, half-writing of small writing, or bold splash of ink in large writing, its essence and the biggest difference between the work of the biggest difference is in the intention. Here, there are three understandings of the meaning of writing in the meaning of the heart, the intention of the brush, the intention of the painting.

The heart of the matter is about the author's own emotions when he creates, that is, the intention to express in the form, purely from the brushwork to watch, you can gradually see the author in the drawing of the kind of one-two punch of the feeling of pleasure. From this, you can feel the author's desire and mood of creation that he wants to give to the viewer. The brushwork, on the other hand, due to the time problem mentioned before, so it can't express and render the creator's emotional intent very well. Many times when I look at brushwork, I simply enjoy the exquisite brushwork and the delicate shading, as well as the neat and clean images, and of course, the bright colors.

Brushwork, most of the brushes used in the work are medium-focused or small-haired, and only pay attention to the neatness and cleanliness of the brushwork. But as a writing, especially the capitals, the use of the brush is purely arbitrary, free to send and receive. Then if you try to use the brush, in order to Yin dye, will find that the ink stains are very much in need of fire, simple combination of dry or wet brush, or like the brush as the water color to drive away the color, and can not be very good expression of the brush can be reflected in the power of the brush and the interest of the brush, then talk about the meaning of the brush is naturally crippled and pale.

Painting, refers to the painting or characters or landscape or flowers and birds brought interest, such as fish and shrimp fighting, Zhong Kui ghost hunting, near and far into the scenery of these interesting. To put it bluntly, it means that the painting is alive, and everything expressed in the painting is organized into a complete scene that can be interrelated and even memorable, that is to say, a stillness is better than a movement. Of course, about this sentence is often understood as a work of art is not as good as writing ...... because very often, the author of the work of art due to over-investment in the shape of the preoccupation, but ignored the painting of the activity of a long time to see the tasteless, not as good as the writing of a hundred see the feeling of a hundred flavors.

===========

These above purely in terms of theory is pale, because of the detachment of the shape of the writing, so there is a small writing, but also because of the work of the shape of the form of constraints, so there is a small writing. Then all these are to better reflect the author's own creative perspective and intention.

But there is no absolute, can not say that there is no color in the writing of the leap, such as the ink is divided into five colorful sub-species of the pursuit has always existed. And brushwork also has the shape of the movement to seek form and spirit of the pursuit of art.

And what I just said, are some shallow basic understanding, or personal nature.
