Zhong You is known as the "ancestor of regular script". There are many strokes of official script in his lower case, which is between official script and seal script. His style is plain and simple, and he is famous for his elegance.

Compared with his other works, the classic "Declaration Form" shows a more mature regular script form and breath in brushwork and structure. Keep some brushwork of official script when copying.

Luo de Shi San hang

Wang Xianzhi's Thirteen Lines of Luo Shen Fu is elegant in style and free and easy in brushwork. In the Qing Dynasty, Vencent Yang praised him for his "beautiful and mellow words and unparalleled small letters".

Also known as "the extreme rule of small letters", it is the acme and peak of China's calligraphy beauty, and it is also a connecting work of Jin and Tang Dynasties. It has beautiful fonts and quaint words, and a more mature style.

Here, Wang Xianzhi's regular script brushwork is no longer official script, and the font has changed from horizontal to vertical. When copying, we should pay attention to using a thin pen tip to express the rigidity of lines, avoid the brushwork of official script, and write a vertical structure.

scenery

When the ancients described the use of a pen in the Ling Fei Classic, they said that the use of a pen was like a bird singing in the valley, and its voice was high and low, tactfully clear and beautiful.

After fixing the style and understanding the simplicity, we can start with Ling Fei Jing, enter the stage of being good at writing Jing in the Tang Dynasty, and learn its skills without becoming vulgar.

The Classic of Ling Fei is a typical representative of the lower case in the Tang Dynasty, from which we can learn about the knowledge and methods of the classics at that time.

the heart channel of Hand-Shaoyin

Heart Sutra was written by Japanese living in China in Tang Dynasty, and it is a traditional calligraphy work of China.

At that time, printing was not popular. In order to preserve and spread the classics, there are professional students engaged in copying Buddhist classics. The earliest pattern of Confucian classics was the daily handwriting in the Han and Wei Dynasties. After the transformation and development of the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the basic characteristics of the Sui and Tang Confucian classics that we see now were formed.

Writing classics is not only written with pen and ink, but also needs to pay attention to the embodiment of pen, master the lifting and pressing, grasp the compact structure, and some writing attempts and basic skills need to be recognized and practiced. In the temporary writing of Heart Sutra, we can experience the familiar and stable daily writing of Confucian classics in Tang Dynasty.

Tao Te Ching

Laozi's Tao Te Ching written by Zhao Mengfu has a unique beauty and tension. He has a deep research on the calligraphy of writing classics in Tang Dynasty, and at the same time inherits the ancient meaning of Zhong You and "Two Kings".

Compared with Jingsheng's natural writing style, he added his personal style and artistic expression, and also made a choice among the complicated and changeable brushwork of his predecessors. He reduced the difficulty of brushwork and gave them a gentle and elegant temperament, which is worth learning.

Tao Yuanming's Leisure Fu

Zhu Yunming's lower case is a link between Zhong You and Wang Xizhi, which combines the roundness of Zhong You and the elegance of Wang Xizhi. The pen is delicate and thick, and the lines are moist and concise.

The same is true of Tao Yuanming's leisure fu, which is full of fun and varied between agility and clumsiness. When copying, we should pay attention to the performance of the structure in skimming, downward pressure, long horizontal and long vertical, vertical and horizontal flexion and extension, which runs through the whole work and also plays a role in balancing the overall situation.

Ten chronicles of Caotang

Wen Zhiming's short story has always been regarded as the first book in Ming Dynasty. Until he was 80 years old, he still wrote small letters without borrowing or returning them. He was self-disciplined and diligent, like a still water.

Ten Chapters of Caotang is Wen Zhiming's masterpiece in lower case, from which we can see the technical difficulties in Wen Zhiming's writing in lower case. Because of the pure sharp writing style, accurate brushwork and rigorous structure, it is thinner and more beautiful.

You Bao shan Ji

You Bao Shan Ji was written by Wang Chong in Ming Dynasty. Wang Chong's works have the style of Wei and Jin Dynasties, inherited thirteen lines of Luo Shenfu, simple and elegant, and have a good temperament.

You Bao Shan Ji's pen is illusory, Fiona Fang, but its breath is diluted and dissipated. When copying, we should pay attention to the blank between strokes, leave a gap that can be ventilated, and control it within a reasonable scale. Once out of this scale, the structure of words will be loose.

Biography of Ji 'an

Ji An was a famous minister in the Western Han Dynasty, and his deeds were recorded in Historical Records and Biography of Ji An.

Zhao Mengfu said that his Biography of Ji An was a legacy of the Tang Dynasty, and Ni Zan also praised "Zi Ang wrote in lower case letters, which was beautifully tied and vigorous with a pen, and he was really worthy of being a man in the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Zhao wrote this work at the age of 67. The brushwork is meaningful and beautiful, with a sharp and refreshing meaning, and at the same time he is carefree. When copying, you can think about the style of writing classics in the Tang Dynasty, which is in the same strain.
