"Planing Baozi Tablet", also known as "Jin Dynasty Late Zhenwei General Jianning Taishou Baozi Tablet", the tablet records that it was engraved in the fourth year of Taiheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (405 years), which is actually the first year of Emperor Yixi of Jin An. Yunnan is located in a remote area, or because the edict of the Yuan change has not arrived, so the name of Taiheng is still used. In the 43rd year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1778), it was found in Qujing County, Yunnan Province, and is now stored in the pavilion of the first middle school of Qujing. The stele is about 183 centimeters high, about 68 centimeters wide, the stele book "the tomb of the late Jin Dynasty Zhenwei General Jianning Taishou Fujun" is 15 words, the text is 13 lines, the full line is 30 words, a total of 336 words.
The body of the book is between the subordinate and Kai, it is a typical Li, Kai and half fonts, and almost all the words are left at the end of the horizontal shape of the Lishu, forming a unique calligraphy appearance. The knots are childish and clumsy, simple and ancient, and more clumsy than the mature and square regular script. The Eastern Jin Dynasty followed the Wei system, implemented the stele ban, so the stele was less engraved, and the calligraphy style was shrouded by the calligraphy of the two kings, and was called the "Southern School" by later generations. However, this monument is similar to the style of calligraphy in the Northern Dynasties, perhaps because it is located in a remote area and is less affected by the wind and flow of the left side of the river, so as to maintain the simple style of calligraphy.
Although the stele is engraved with rubbing, this can not hide the charm and taste of its dot painting, the dot painting is clumsy and smart, and the pen is round but relaxed. The shape of the dots in the stele is a triangular square pen, which is written full but not thin, and the size, potential, and direction are more different.
As shown in the figure, the dots of the word "Yan" are rich in variations. When writing, multi-sided front into the paper, to the right down the pen, to the ** pen, the pen form is rich, innocent, clumsy and cute.
In addition, the short and short vertical of the word "will" in the picture are also written into triangles, which adds a lively and lively atmosphere to the stele.
The pen of "Baozi Tablet" is mainly square brush, but the dotted lines are rich and rounded. As shown in the figure of the "Jun" word horizontal writing, when writing the side of the front into the paper, the pen to adjust the front, against the trend of astringency, to the pen to the upper right to close the pen, although out of the front but not as a typical dovetail, the middle section of the line of the pen is quaint and plain. Although the horizontal in this stele is mostly written the same as the swallowtail in the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty eight-point book pitch is changeable, and the "Baozi Stele" is more childish and straight, and it is more decorative in some words with more horizontal lines.
There are some strange dot paintings in the "Baozi Stele", such as the vertical of the word "gradually" in the figure, similar to a hook in the form, when writing, the front side cuts into the paper, first to the pen momentum, and then quickly adjusts the pen edge, paving the pen down to the center of the pen, the speed of the pen is slightly faster than when writing horizontally, to the pen at the end of the slightly force to the left to pick the front, or slightly stop the pen to pick the front into a hook. In addition, some of the vertical writing in the original post is more restrained and subtle, and the pen is not yet realized.
The quality of a work depends on the taste and smell that comes out of it, and the source of the taste and smell is the gesture and charm of the dot painting. Although the pen of "Baozi Tablet" is clumsy, it contains charm and charm. For example, the writing of apostrophes and strokes is written in a stretching loop, and the writing is either stretched and elegant or restrained and subtle. This stele skimming, more to take the upturned state, take the picture in the "of" and "therefore" two words, the pen is like a swallowtail, but more upturned than the swallowtail of Han Li, the middle is flat, like a leaf boat.
As shown in the figure of the word "square" and "too" apostrophe, when writing the side of the pen, to the left down the pen when there is a slight arc, after the pen is pressed lightly, the upward formation of the loop.
The glyphs and pens are mainly square, and the round pen plays an important role in regulating it. This characteristic is often reflected in the turning point, which is divided into two types: round fold and square fold.
The structure of the characters in the "Baozi Stele" is mainly square, and it still has the characteristics of Lishu, but it is not as uniform and regular as the words in the Han Lizi Stele. The posture takes the broad and stable state of the Lishu, and the structure is loose and natural, unlike the words of Tang Kai in the middle palace.
The structural contrast of the characters in the "Baozi Stele" is very strong, including the contrast of sparse density, the contrast of retraction and release, and the contrast of glyph size. As learners, we should consciously grasp the creative techniques of this art, avoid each other, and pursue nature.
The peculiarity of the structure of the "Baozi Stele" benefits from the method of word construction in which the odd and the positive complement each other, and the movement and stillness are born together.
In addition, repetitive words are inevitable in any inscription, and giving different aesthetics to the same characters is the focus of study that should be studied attentively. The different ways of dealing with the same words in "The Tablet of the Treasure" are very worthy of our reference.
It is best to have a certain foundation in official script and regular script when learning "Baozi Tablet". When studying, you must read the calligraphy thoroughly, and you should not blindly draw a scoop on the gourd and describe its external shape stiffly. It is necessary to understand the writer's pen as much as possible, grasp its inner principles, and add some flexible ways of using the pen to the practice.
Before studying the "Baozi Tablet", you can study the official book for a period of time, such as "Zhang Qian Tablet" and so on. This helps to better appreciate the simplicity and clumsy characteristics of the brush.
Its lines seem to be square and hard, but it should be built on the basis of the center pen when studying, otherwise it is easy to give people a sense of lightness and thinness.
You can write it in large characters first, and then slowly shrink it after a while. When learning the large characters of this monument, it is not suitable for familiar Xuan and hard hair, otherwise the lines are easy to appear to be not thick enough and the charm is insufficient.
