Hello everyone, I am Xingli, today is the northern year, I have to think of Wen Zhengming's "Mountains and Quiet Days" This masterpiece is coming, today I will talk about this work.
Let's analyze this calligraphy work from several aspects. Wen Zhengming's "The Mountain is Quiet and the Day is Long" is a very representative calligraphy work, and its chapter layout and calligraphy style characteristics show the author's profound artistic skills and unique artistic perspective.
In terms of chapter layout, "The Mountain is Quiet and the Day is Long" adopts a vertical chapter arrangement, which makes the whole work appear lofty and profound. The spacing between each line is just right, neither overcrowded nor too sparse. This kind of chapter layout gives people a sense of tranquility and elegance, as if people are in the mountains and forests, listening to the flowing water and looking up at the blue sky.
In terms of font structure, Wen Zhengming uses a unique knot method, which makes each character appear round and flexible. His glyphs are long and slightly thin, and the beginnings and ends of his strokes and the transitions are very natural, without too much embellishment and exaggeration, but there is an inner beauty. This type of font structure not only demonstrates Wen Zhengming's deep understanding of the art of calligraphy, but also demonstrates his superb calligraphy skills.
In the use of brushes, Wen Zhengming adopts a delicate and restrained brushwork, making every stroke look very exquisite. His strokes are of moderate thickness, and his brushstrokes are used freely, sometimes as smooth as a mountain spring, and sometimes as straight as a peak. This way of using the brush not only shows Wen Zhengming's awe and love for nature, but also shows his unique insight into the art of calligraphy.
In terms of ink color, Wen Zhengming uses dark ink tones, which makes the whole work appear more simple and elegant. The shades of ink are used just right, giving a feeling of freshness. This use of ink not only shows Wen Zhengming's calligraphy style, but also shows his unique insight into art.
Remarks, original annotation: Tang Zixi Shiyun: The mountains are quiet like the ancients, the days are as long as small years, the Yu family is deep in the mountains, at the turn of spring and summer, the moss is full of steps, the falling flowers are full of paths, the door is not peeled and pecked, the pine shadows are uneven, and the birds are up and down. Take a nap at the beginning of the day, swirl the mountain spring, pick up pine branches, and boil bitter tea to sip it. Calmly walk the mountain path, caress the pine and bamboo, and the elk and calf rest together in the long forest and rich grass. Sitting in the flowing spring, the teeth are wet. Since it is under the bamboo window, the mountain wife and child make bamboo shoots and ferns, offer wheat and rice, and are happy to be full. Between the pen windows, make a number of crosses with the size of the exhibition, and look at the ink scrolls of the Fa Ti in the exhibition. When you are interested, you will chant a small poem, or a paragraph or two of grass jade dew, and then cook a cup of bitter tea. Walking out of the stream, I met Weng Xisuo in the garden, asked Sang Ma, said that the rice, the amount of rain is clear, and when the number of festivals is explored, I talk about a salary with the play. If people can really know this wonder, then Dongpo said: Nothing to do and meditate, one day is two days. If you live seventy, you will be one hundred and forty, and you will receive more!
