II. II. IIPointillism is both masculine and feminine
Jiucheng Gong Liquan Ming belongs to the thin and hard book style. Its stippling is thicker than the thin gold body, thinner than the face body, and is in a moderate state in terms of fat and thinness. As you know, calligraphy emphasizes the power of the pen, and the power of the pen is realized through the "bone". Too fat is easy to be boneless, too thin and easy to "break", moderate fat and thin, well-proportioned flesh and bone are more suitable for expressing pen power. Therefore, the work expresses its masculine beauty through the thin and hard calligraphy style of dot painting.
However, the dot painting of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" not only has masculine beauty, but also expresses the feminine appearance of the work through beauty. The beauty of "Jiucheng Gong Liquan Ming" is mainly reflected in the round pen and slender strokes.
For example, the first of the word "gong".
Second, the fifth two points are not blindly ruthless, but both square and round, giving people a sense of warmth and subtlety. The other three points of the word "gong" are triangular, angular and heroic. But due to the first.
Second, the neutralizing effect of the fifth two strokes, the whole word will not be fierce and rough.
Slender strokes, especially long skimming and long strokes, are easy to produce beautiful colors, which can be reflected even in the strong and rugged Longmen Sipin. For example, in the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming", the long skimming of the word "summer", the pen is half hidden, with a certain arc, both square and round, and the gesture is extended, like a katana, giving people a kind of tactful and beautiful, rigid and soft beauty.
Although the dot painting of Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming has both rigidity and softness, it is more rigid in comparison. It is the kind of font that belongs to the slightly masculine beauty of the style of neutralization.
ThreeThree characteristics of knots
The first feature of Jiucheng Gong Liquan Ming is that it is fair, and the meaning of fairness and dignified is almost the same, and it is the common feature of static books such as seal script, official script, and regular script. "Jiucheng Gong Liquan Ming" has the characteristics of fairness, but its fairness is not fairness in the sense of "beginner distribution", but the unity of fairness and danger. This is further divided into two cases: the middle is strange and the odd is not out of order. Specifically, this characteristic can be seen from the words "drink", "stop" and "divide" in this work.
The second characteristic of the knot of Jiucheng Gong Liquan Ming is the tight knot, that is, the inside is tight and the outside is loose or the inside is dense and the outside is sparse. The strokes move closer to the middle palace and radiate to the periphery, also known as radiant knots. For example, the word "Cheng" is a representative of the knot style: the short and horizontal, horizontal hook, Ge hook and the last point of the word "Cheng" are also gathered to the center, and the Ge hook is slender, radiating to the upper left and lower right, and the tight knot gives people a sense of upright and stretching. In addition, the vertical pen of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" is generally in the back posture, which adds to the upright feeling of the word.
The third feature of the Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming is the longitudinal length. If it takes more back momentum, this is a manifestation of subordination. Because of its affiliation, "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" has the characteristics of high antiquity. But in fact, "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" not only has the meaning of subordination, but also has the meaning of the seal, and the meaning of the seal here refers to the pen meaning of the small seal. Its seal meaning is mainly reflected in the longitudinal length of the knot, Ouyang Xun elongated the glyph, which is not only an innovation, but also a kind of return to the small seal knot. Because of the combination of the seal and the penmanship, so the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" has added an ancient meaning.
FourThere are three regularities in the rules and regulations
Let's take a look at the chapter of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming", how to show the beauty of this work through three regularities. Because "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" is a work ordered by the emperor, in order to be solemn and serious, it is inevitable to have a comprehensive understanding of the size of the stele, the content of the inscription and the number of words, etc., and to lay a good grid (to determine the size of the word).
Because the squares are drawn in advance, the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" must be vertically and horizontally, and the difference between the lines and characters will not be too big. And because the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" is slender, the line spacing is slightly larger than the word spacing. This is the first feature of its layout.
The second feature of the chapter of Jiucheng Gong Liquan Ming is that the glyphs are of moderate size and consistency. Because the size of the glyph is moderate, "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" appears sparse and open, but it is not empty like a "drowning bird" (Wang Xi's words).
The third feature of the chapter method of Jiucheng Gong Liquan Ming is that the weight of each word is basically equal. For example, the word "inquiry" above is denser at the bottom left, and the strokes are relatively thinner, and the "勹" strokes at the upper right are relatively thick, so the whole character does not make people feel that the center of gravity is unbalanced. In terms of multiple characters, generally words with few strokes should be written thicker, and words with many strokes should be written thinner, in order to ensure that their weight is roughly equal.
To sum up: Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" has both masculine and feminine beauty because of dot painting; The characteristics of knots are obvious; There are rows and columns, the size is moderate and consistent, and the weight is equal to the success. Therefore, it will naturally produce the beauty of the work. Specifically:
First, "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" has an elegant atmosphere. Since elegance is comparable to morale and bookishness, it shows that the author would not be able to achieve this state without profound knowledge.
Second, "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" has a quiet atmosphere. Although the regular script is a static book, this does not guarantee the tranquility of the weather, and many regular script works, especially modern works, often make people feel that the "fire" is very great. Therefore, the tranquility of this work is mainly due to Ouyang Xun's high spiritual cultivation.
In short, Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" not only has the strength and strength of the north monument, but also the elegance and dignity of the southern book, which seems to be rigid and soft; Its knots are graceful and graceful, the law is rigorous, the danger is seen in the square, the structure is exquisite and steady, there is no mess, no slack. It is known as "the world's first regular script" and deserves its name.
