Introduction to Chinese calligraphy PPT content:

1. The historical origin of Chinese calligraphy

Chinese calligraphy is an ancient art of writing Chinese characters. It has evolved from oracle bone inscriptions, stone drum inscriptions, and bronze inscriptions (Zhongding inscriptions) to large seal script, small seal script, official script, and finally to the cursive script, regular script, and running script that were finalized in the Eastern Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasties. Calligraphy has always been distributed. With the charm of art. Chinese calligraphy is a very unique visual art. Chinese characters are an important factor in Chinese calligraphy because Chinese calligraphy was produced and developed in Chinese culture, and Chinese characters are one of the basic elements of Chinese culture. Relying on Chinese characters is the main symbol that distinguishes Chinese calligraphy from other types of calligraphy. Chinese writing originated very early, and it has developed the writing quality of writing to an aesthetic stage - integrating the concept, thinking, and spirit of the creator, and can stimulate the aesthetic emotions of the aesthetic object (that is, the formation of a true calligraphy ).

2. The evolution of Chinese characters (types, main works)

Chinese calligraphy has a long history: Shang, Western Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the Republic of China, and contemporary times

Since the emergence of oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions in the middle and late Shang Dynasty, and from the late Shang Dynasty to the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty, the general trend of the evolution of Chinese characters has been from complex to simple. This evolution is specifically reflected in the evolution of fonts and glyphs.

Oracle bone inscriptions are an ancient Chinese writing, also known as "deeds", "oracle bone inscriptions", Yinxu writing or "tortoise shell and animal bone inscriptions". It is a text carved on turtle bones, animal bones, and human bones during the Yin and Shang Dynasties to record divination, sacrifices and other activities. It is also an early form of Chinese characters. It is the oldest mature script in the Chinese dynasty and was first unearthed in Yinxu, Anyang City, Henan Province. It belongs to old Chinese (old chinese), not an ancient or primitive language of other language families.

Oracle bone inscriptions were discovered in the Yin Ruins of Anyang City, Henan Province, China. They are a cultural product of the Shang Dynasty (about 17th century BC - 11th century BC) and have a history of more than 3,600 years.

Oracle bone inscriptions have a symmetrical and stable pattern. Prepare the three elements of calligraphy, namely the use of pen, the knotting of characters, and the composition of the calligraphy. Judging from the number and structure of fonts, Oracle has developed into a more rigorous system of writing. The "six books" principle of Chinese characters is reflected in oracle bone inscriptions. However, the traces of the original picture text are still quite obvious. Oracle bone inscriptions are a cultural product of the Shang Dynasty (about 17th century BC - 11th century BC), with a history of more than 3,600 years. On November 24, 2017, Oracle successfully passed the review of the International Advisory Committee of the UNESCO Memory of the World Project and was successfully selected into the Memory of the World Register.

Bronze inscriptions refer to the inscriptions cast on bronzes of the Yin and Zhou dynasties, also called bell and tripod inscriptions. The Shang and Zhou dynasties were the age of bronzes. The ritual vessels of bronzes were represented by tripods, and the musical instruments were represented by bells. "Zhongding" is synonymous with bronzes. China had already entered the Bronze Age in the Xia Dynasty, and the technology of copper smelting and copperware manufacturing was very developed. Because copper was also called gold in the Zhou Dynasty, the inscriptions on the bronzes were called "Jinwen" or "Jijin inscriptions"; and because this type of bronzes had the largest number of characters on bells and tripods, they were also called "Zhongdingwen" in the past. ".

The application of bronze inscriptions dates from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the end of the Qin Dynasty when the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, about 800 years ago. The number of characters in bronze inscriptions, according to Rong Geng's "Inscriptions on Bronze Inscriptions", totals 3,722, of which 2,420 are identifiable. Dazhuan is a commonly used font in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. According to legend, it was created by Boyi of Xia Dynasty. The broad seal script refers to the writing before the small seal script, including Jinwen (or "Zhongdingwen") and Zhenwen (the traditional version of Jinwen). Contemporary Chinese calligraphers estimate that the Qin Dynasty should still have oracle bone inscriptions, so it is now included. Dazhuan in a narrow sense refers to Zhouwen, the remaining stone inscriptions on stone drums, which are named after the writings of Taishi Zhou during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. Shiguwen is named after it was carved on stone drums. It is the earliest stone-engraved text that has been passed down to this day, and is the ancestor of stone carvings.

After Qin Shihuang unified China (221 BC), he implemented the policy of "writing with the same text and carriages with the same track" and unifying weights and measures. Prime Minister Li Si was responsible for simplifying and canceling the large seal script originally used by the Qin State. The other Six Kingdoms scripts created a unified writing form of Chinese characters. It was popular in China until the end of the Western Han Dynasty (about 8 AD), and was gradually replaced by official script. But because of its beautiful font, it has always been favored by calligraphers. And because its strokes are complex, its form is ancient, and twists and turns can be added at will, seals were carved in seal script, especially official seals that required anti-counterfeiting, until the fall of the feudal dynasty and the emergence of new anti-counterfeiting technology in modern times. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the feudal lords were divided, and the Chinese characters of various countries appeared to be different in simplified and traditional forms, and one character had multiple shapes.

After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, he ordered to use Qin's "Xiaozhuan" as the standard to unify the national writing system. Seal script, also known as "seal script", is the collective name of small seal script and large seal script. Because it is customary to call seal script "big seal script", later generations often refer to "zhuan script" specifically as small seal script. Chinese characters have developed into the Xiaozhuan stage, and have gradually begun to take shape (outlines, strokes, and structures). The pictographic meaning has weakened, making the characters more symbolic and reducing confusion and difficulties in writing and reading. This is also the first time in the history of our country The product of using administrative means to standardize writing on a large scale. The Qin Dynasty used the compiled Xiaozhuan script to unify the national writing system, which not only basically eliminated the phenomenon of different writing styles in various places, but also greatly changed the situation of many different styles of ancient writing. It played an important role in the history of Chinese writing development.

Official script, including Qin Li, Han Li, etc., is generally believed to have developed from seal script. The characters are mostly wide and flat, with long horizontal strokes and short vertical strokes. They pay attention to "silkworm heads and wild goose tails" and "twists and turns." According to the unearthed slips, official script was founded in the Qin Dynasty. It is said that Cheng Miao was the official. The Han official script reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It inherited the tradition of seal script at the top and opened up the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It has a considerable influence on later calligraphy, and the calligraphy world It is known as "Han Li Tang Kai". Official script is also called "official script" and "ancient script". It is a font based on seal script and produced to meet the needs of convenient writing. Simplify the small seal script, and change the evenly rounded lines of the small seal script into straight and square strokes, making it easier to write.

Official script was a font created in prison. It is divided into "Qin Li" (also called "Ancient Li") and "Han Li" (also called "Modern Li"). The emergence of official script is a major change in ancient writing and calligraphy. Official script is relative to seal script, and the name of official script originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The emergence of official script was another major reform of Chinese characters, which brought Chinese calligraphy art into a new realm. It was a turning point in the history of the evolution of Chinese characters and laid the foundation for regular script. The structure of official script is flat, neat and delicate. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the strokes, strokes, dots and other paintings were transformed into upward strokes, with changes in light and heavy pauses and the beauty of calligraphy art. The styles are also becoming more diverse, which is of great value for artistic appreciation.

Regular script is also called Zhengkai, Zhenshu, and Zhengshu. It gradually evolved from the official script founded by Cheng Miao, becoming more simplified, horizontal and vertical. "Cihai" explains that it "has a square shape and straight strokes, which can be used as a model." Hence the name regular script. It began in the late Han Dynasty and has been popular to modern times.

The emergence of regular script closely followed the rules and regulations of the Han Dynasty, and pursued the further development of physical beauty. At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the writing of Chinese characters gradually changed into waves, stilts, and strokes, and added "side" (dot), " Strokes such as "plunder" (long strokes), "peck" (short strokes), and "ti" (straight hooks) make the structure more rigorous. Such as "Wuwei Medical Slips", "Juyan Han Slips", etc. The characteristic of regular script is its neatness and neatness. It is a model among fonts, so it is called regular script and has been used until modern times.

Looking at the development of cursive script: the development of cursive script can be divided into three stages: early cursive script, Zhang Cao script and modern cursive script. Early cursive script is a calligraphy style parallel to official script, generally called official script. In fact, it is mixed with some seal cursive styles.

Running script is a calligraphy style between regular script and cursive script, which appeared around the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is a general term, divided into two types: Xingkai and Xingcao. It was developed on the basis of regular script and is a font between regular script and cursive script. It was created to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the difficulty of identifying cursive script. "Xing" means "walking", so it is not as sloppy as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. In essence, it is the cursiveization of regular script or the regularization of cursive script. Those with more regular script than cursive script are called "Xing Kai", and those with more cursive script than regular script are called "Xing Cao".

Running script is highly practical and artistic, while regular script is a text symbol that is highly practical and requires skill. In comparison, cursive script is highly artistic, but its practicality is relatively insufficient.

3. Practice of Chinese calligraphy (pen calligraphy, brush calligraphy)

The horizontal strokes should be written smoothly, because the horizontal stroke plays a balancing role in a character. If the horizontal stroke is uneven, the character will be unstable.

There are long horizontal and short horizontal shapes, as well as left pointed horizontal, right pointed horizontal, thick waist and horizontal shapes, etc. The variety of shape changes makes the horizontal shape rich and vivid. Due to human visual illusion, horizontal drawings cannot be written horizontally, but should be written left low and right high. When closing the pen, press the pen slightly so that it looks stable. What people often say "horizontally, horizontally and vertically" does not mean writing horizontally and horizontally, but means that it needs to look stable.

Vertical paintings should be written as vertical, because vertical paintings often play a key supporting role in a character. Vertical paintings can be divided into hanging dew, hanging needle and short vertical.

There are oblique strokes, vertical strokes, short strokes and flat strokes.

The two most common methods of calligraphy practice are copying and copying.

imitation

One is to cover the copybook with transparent writing paper that is not soaked in ink, and use a brush to copy the calligraphy and painting. The pen follows the shadow, which is called copying. The second is to cover the copybook with tissue paper, first trace the outline of the font into hollow characters, and then fill in the bold characters, which is called "double hook", also known as "xiangtuo" (it can be copied today). The third is to cover the copybook with writing paper, first use a hard pen to draw the center line of the font strokes, and then compare it with the copybook and use a brush to copy along the thin lines. This method is suitable for beginners and can also be used to practice new posts. This method is suitable for mastering the position of the glyphs, that is, the structure.

temporary writing method

Lin writing method is based on copying the calligraphy, imitating the writing on the calligraphy. There are three methods: one is the opposite method. It means to read the words on the copybook accurately and write straightly on the paper (first use ruled paper for regular script). The second is the back-facing method, also called the silent writing method. That is, try to write down the various techniques, various compositions and glyph changes that you have learned one by one, and then open the original post to compare it with it to find the gaps and improve the original. The third is Yilin, also known as "book emptiness". It means that after you have the above basic skills, you should not stay on one post, but find ways to broaden your horizons and look for opportunities in various posts with different styles and techniques.
