As a basic form of calligraphy, regular script is the cornerstone of learning calligraphy. The structure of regular script is rigorous and the strokes are standardized, which is essential for cultivating basic writing skills and developing good writing habits. The following will introduce the writing skills and precautions of regular script to help you master the correct writing of regular script.
1. Basic strokes.
The basic strokes of regular script include point, horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, pinch, hook, fold, etc., which constitute the basic form of regular script. When writing basic strokes, it is necessary to pay attention to the beginning, line and end of strokes, and master the correct stroke trend and writing order to ensure the standardization and beauty of the glyphs.
1.Dot: The dot is one of the basic strokes of regular script, which is divided into two types: side dot and straight dot. The way to write the side point is to pause to the lower right after putting down the pen, and then return to the upper left to finish; The way to write the straight point is to pause to the bottom right after the pen is down, and then return to the pen upwards to finish.
2.Horizontal: Horizontal is divided into two types: long horizontal and short horizontal. The long horizontal writing method is to tilt to the upper right after the pen is put down, and the pen ends at the end of the pen to the lower right; The short horizontal way is to tilt to the upper right after the pen is lowered, and the pen is returned to the end of the pen.
3.Vertical: Vertical is divided into two types: hanging needle and hanging dew. The writing method of the hanging needle is to go straight down after the pen, and gradually raise and close the pen to the end; The writing method of hanging dew is to go straight down after putting down the pen, and the pen is back to the end of the pen.
4.Apostrophe: Apostrophes are divided into two types: flat apostrophe and oblique apostrophe. The writing method of flat apostrophe is to skim out to the lower left after putting down the pen, and gradually adjust the direction to the upper right during the writing process; The oblique skimming method is to skim out to the lower left after the pen is lowered, and the pen is written to the end and the pen is returned to the end.
5.捺: 捺 is divided into two types: flat and oblique. The writing method is to line the pen to the lower right after the pen is put down, and gradually adjust the direction to the upper right during the writing process; The oblique writing method is to put down the pen to the lower right, and the end of the pen to the end of the pen upward pen.
6.Hooks: Hooks are divided into vertical hooks, curved hooks, etc. The vertical hook is written vertically to the end first, and then hooked out to the upper right; The hook is written horizontally to the end, then bent downwards and then hooked upwards.
7.Fold: Folded is divided into two types: horizontal fold and vertical fold. The way to write a horizontal fold is to write a horizontal drawing to the end first, and then fold the pen to the lower right; The way to write a vertical fold is to write a vertical drawing to the end first, and then fold the pen to the lower right.
Second, the structure of the law.
The structure of regular script is one of the important factors that need to be paid attention to when writing. By mastering the rules of structure, you can make the glyphs more beautiful and standardized.
1.Stable center of gravity: The glyphs of regular script should keep the center of gravity stable, and the stroke layout should be balanced and symmetrical to avoid skew or instability.
2.The main pen is prominent: each Chinese character has a main pen, and the main pen should be highlighted when writing to make the glyph more distinct and powerful. The main strokes are generally long and horizontal, long apostrophe, long strokes and so on.
3.Stroke echo: The strokes of regular script should echo each other, and the previous stroke and the next stroke should be connected and taken care of, forming a sense of coherence and wholeness.
4.Proper proportions: Each part in regular script should be appropriately proportioned, not too large or too small, to avoid the glyphs appearing incongruous or crowded.
5.Follow the order of strokes: The order of strokes in regular script is regular, and it is necessary to write in the correct order of strokes to avoid typos or irregular glyphs.
3. Practice methods.
Practicing regular script requires perseverance and patience, and here are some effective ways to practice it:
1.Copying: Copying is one of the effective ways to learn regular script, through which you can master the basic structure and stroke characteristics of the glyphs. When copying, look carefully at the template, paying attention to details such as the position, direction, and length of the strokes.
2.Provisional writing: Provisional writing refers to the practice of copying against the template, through which you can gradually master the writing skills and characteristics of regular script. When writing, try to imitate the stroke trend and style characteristics of the template.
