042 The application of brushes in ancient times

"Xiao Cui, we call this era history in modern times! This era was more than two hundred years ago when we were modern, so it was called ancient times. Originally, these things were worthless in this era, but after many years, they became history. These things became cultural relics in modern times, and the value of cultural relics cannot be estimated by money!"

"Does this era be recorded in history? Do you know what historical evaluation of our current era is like? Is it good or bad?"

"This history must have been recorded, but I have not yet been exposed to the book knowledge of this era, so I am not very clear! If I had known that I would have traveled to this dynasty, I would have memorized all the records of this dynasty!"

"You mean, modern times call our era ancient times. What you learn in modern times is our ancient history? Is there a gentleman who teaches this? Then is he very powerful? Isn't he just a fortune teller who knows the future?"

"I studied in the History Department of Taiwan National Normal University in Modern Times. After graduating from this school, students with excellent grades can be teachers. However, my grades are not very good, and there is no possibility! In our modern Times, teachers are a profession!"

"Profession? What is a profession?"

"Occupation refers to a person's business corresponding to his job. For example, a teacher, whose job is a teacher. He can get corresponding rewards based on his position and title level, which is what we modern people call wages. In your era, it is called 'wage'! In our era, people cannot buy and sell, and doing so is illegal and they will be arrested and sent to prison!"

"In that case, your era is so terrible!"

"Isn't it? In our era, it was a society ruled by law. Everyone did their own jobs and took their own positions. Only those who did wrong things were arrested and punished by criminal law."

"And also seeking power to usurp the throne? If the current emperor knew about this, he would be beheaded!"

"That's not what it means! They are in their own positions. For example, if everyone has a job, just stay in that position and do their job well!"

"It seems quite interesting to hear you say this. I would have gone to Modern Times with you!"

"Don't have such thoughts. If I do, I can't go back when I come. It's so sad! Forget it, let's not talk about these things anymore, let's continue practicing calligraphy!"

"Okay, after mastering the correct pen holding, you must also master the key points, namely, fingers are solid, palms are empty, palms are upright, wrists are flat, and wrists are suspended to ensure the flexibility of holding the pen. Come and try it out, have you found a feeling?"

"Finger solid, palm empty, palm upright, wrist flat, wrist hanging... Well, now it's not as heavy as before, and it feels much more relaxed!"

"In addition to the above, there are also problems with tightness and high and low holding. You should write large characters and loosely and openly; you should write small characters and write more accurately. If you go to extremes, it will inevitably lead to mistakes. You should be tight and loose at times, as if it is tight and tight. After a long period of training, you will finally reach the state of "hands can be done at will, the pen and hands can be connected," the mind and hands are both intent, and the mind is smooth and righteous."

"Xiao Cui, you said it very profoundly! You said it slowly, I'm afraid that my stupid head wouldn't remember it!"

"These are all taught by the teacher. I just copied it. Actually, I don't understand the true meaning of this."

"You have such a good memory. It would be great if I had half of your memory! Xiao Cui, don't worry about me, keep talking!"

"In addition, the height of the pen is generally determined by the size of the writing. If the pen is written in small regular script, the pen should be lower, high, medium, and large regular script should be higher. Generally, it is better to hold the pen about two inches away from the root of the pen tip."

Xiao Cuiya's explanation made Ouyang Xinyu feel in the clouds and foggy, and it is really difficult to understand the true meaning of her words. Her words should be expressed in our modern and popular language, so it is easier to understand.

The use of brushes is referred to as "brushing method". Brushing method is the general principle of writing words, dots, strokes and strokes. Brushing, in a broad sense, refers to the method of using brushes. In a narrow sense, refers to the writing method of basic strokes. The important purpose of using a good brush is to write the basic strokes well, and to write the basic strokes well, you must use the brush well. Let the broad and narrow meanings of brushes be closely linked. The understanding of them can be completely unified.

To learn calligraphy well, the key is to use the pen. Generally speaking, after the pen tip is on the paper, when you are ready to start the pen, the pen tip is on the paper and the pen tip is on the paper and walk on the paper is called the pen; when the pen tip runs in the strokes until it is not ended, it is called the ending pen. There are two types of brushwork, and it can also be used square and round. When writing, you generally use different processing techniques such as hiding the tip, revealing the tip, reverse the tip, center tip, turning the tip, turning, etc., to write different forms of strokes. Only by mastering the brushwork can you write as you wish. When writing, you should firmly grasp the principle of using the center tip and strive to pursue the effect of writing. Only after mastering the center tip, you can practice and use the side tip to write. When writing, you should also try to avoid ill pens.

Eight methods of the word "Yong". Since ancient times, people who are new to writing often start with the eight methods of "Yong" using the brush. What are the eight methods of the word "Yong"? They are the eight methods of the word "Yong" and represent eight methods of brushwork respectively. (i.e.: side, leap, thrust, snatch, peck, and bury) The eight methods of the word "Yong" are meant to explain the morphological characteristics and methods of the eight basic strokes of regular script. It is said that it is the basic stroke, because it is difficult to summarize the writing methods of all Chinese characters in a character "Yong". The eight methods of the word "Yong" have become a model for writing calligraphy in all dynasties. It is said that the structure of the word "Yong" summarizes the strokes of the general characters. As long as you master the use of these strokes, you can understand all the brushwork.

After mastering the above sitting posture, holding the pen, and using the brushwork, you will start to learn basic strokes. You should avoid irritability in the strokes and be calm. You should read more and write less, rather slow than fast. After familiarizing yourself with these most basic writing methods, the fastest way to learn calligraphy is to copy. Let Ouyang Xinyu copy Shangguan Wan'er's fonts is the fastest way to achieve your goal.
