Brief introduction of Cao Quanbei
Cao Quanbei, the full name of Heyangling, also known as Cao Jingwan Monument, was engraved in two years (185), with 20 lines of stele Yang, 45 words each, and 5 columns of stele Yin, which described the achievements of Cao Quan (word Jingwan). The monument is about1.7m high and 0.86m wide. It is rectangular and has no forehead. The stone is firm and fine, and there are official script inscriptions on both sides of the monument. Cao Quanbei was unearthed in Heyang, Shaanxi Province, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573). In the Qing Dynasty (1672), it was broken and disappeared, and it was moved to Xi 'an Beilin Museum in 1956. Cao Quanbei, a masterpiece of official script in Han Dynasty, is famous for its elegant style and even structure. He is a representative work that is still feminine in Han Li's inscriptions, and is highly praised by calligraphers of all ages.
This monument not only has high artistic value, but also has important historical value. In addition to describing Cao Quan's life and lineage, this paper also records important historical events in the Han Dynasty. If it is in the text? King Shule and Father Depadt Richmond usurped the throne? 、? Tie Germany to death? And so on, different from the literature. It can be used as a reference for modifying history. In addition, it also recorded the peasant uprising led by Zhang Jiao. At that time, it had spread to Shaanxi, and Guo Jia, a citizen of Heyang County, responded to this. Burn down the city's temples. People are disturbed, people are uneasy, and the county is urgent? Situation. This has important reference value for studying the peasant uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Judging from the calligraphy of this tablet, the characteristics of using a pen are obvious. In the opposite direction, the pen is mainly round, and the strokes seem to push the boat with the trend. There are few big squats and big jumps, no stimulation, steady strokes, graceful and graceful, and there are bright spots in many aspects. Waves are often written very long, with various postures, such as a stream, or gently pressed, and then picked out, relaxed and smooth, graceful and endless. The structure is precise, peaceful and round. Although it is used back to back, the directional method is the most used and the best. There are also many changes in the rotation method, or the circle turns down to indicate the extension method, such as? Scene? 、? Hey? Equivalence word; Or press it to the right and fold it down, for example? Ice? 、? Business? Equivalence word; Or put the pen back in the center of the fold and turn it down, for example? Hey? The next fold of the word; Or another pen, volley to the right to press the circle potential, then the center of gravity is reversed and the pen is folded down, such as? Uncle? Words; Or at the crease, lift the pen up and press the crease down, for example? Clock? 、? Ben. However, different emphases have different feelings. Although these turning methods are basically the same in Han Li, they are the same, because everyone's way and personality are different. But the taste is different. This so-called isomorphism is very different from the official script we made today. In fact, its counterpart can be found in the official text of the Model Law, but Fiona Fang and the trend are different. Judging from the style of its books, this monument is characterized by its feminine beauty. Graceful, graceful, gorgeous but not vulgar, beautiful and quiet, the palace is tight, the essence is hidden inside, stretching like a group of cranes spreading their wings and flying, elegant and dignified, luxurious with ancient thickness, exquisite with beauty, romantic with delicacy, exquisite with Mo Miao, rich with elegant demeanour, passionate with carefree and heroic. People who don't know think it is soft and charming, and people who know it think it is tough. It was called "Li Qi" in past dynasties and was regarded as the treasure of Han stele.
Structural characteristics of Cao Quanbei.
The structural features of Cao Quanbei are: spacious and smooth, free and unrestrained, horizontal glyph, long square structure at intervals, smooth horizontal opening, subtle and steady vertical structure, which makes the structure look elegant. The extension of the structure, the indulgence of the pen and the mellow artistic conception of Cao Quanbei reflect the calligrapher's artistic ingenuity and creative self-confidence in seeking stability in turmoil and freedom, which makes his works beautiful and heroic. The unique personality and specific connotation of this monument's elegant style are far from being comparable to other Han Li.
Before analyzing the structural characteristics of Cao Quanbei in detail, let's talk about the problems that should be paid attention to when studying the monument structure.
What should I do to write the structure of Cao Quanbei? Try to occupy the vertical and horizontal space accurately, and should the echo gesture be clear? . ? Vertical and horizontal occupation? Refers to the position of each pen.
And how many positions are occupied vertically and horizontally. The positions of strokes are different, so the vertical and horizontal positions are also different. Eating the right vertical and horizontal space occupation is directly related to writing a good structure. Then clarify the echo relationship of each stroke or each part, and at the same time, be sure to see the brush gesture clearly and show it in the pen. According to this method, Cao Quanbei can quickly master a variety of ways to use pens, and the effect of temporary study is very remarkable. But first of all, we must read the copybook carefully, that is, we must carefully observe the copybook and recite every stroke to the whole word. Only by seeing clearly, observing carefully, paying attention to the arrangement of stippling structure in copybooks and memorizing strokes, turns or Fiona Fang one by one can we better grasp the style of fonts and improve our appreciation ability. This is the first step of the post.
Secondly, observe the words accurately. Just as Wang Xizhi said: concentrate on meditation, predict the font size, droop, vibrate directly, dredge the tendons and pulse, concentrate on writing before writing. ? Before writing, you should use your head and try to make clear the arrangement of length, skew, thickness, turning point, lifting pressure and frame structure, and keep it in mind, so as to write accurately.
Third, write steadily. In other words, in the process of writing, the pen should be steady, the pen should be sent to the end, and the pen should be fully prepared. This requires the trainees to work hard and have real skills. Only by practicing repeatedly can we be comfortable and use it freely. Let's analyze the structural features of Cao Quanbei in detail.
1. The oblate structure is the common feature of Han Li, which is determined by the fact that Han Li's characters are mostly horizontal. However, some of the writing structures are almost flat, which is rare in other Han steles. Figure 1? Total? Word, the two beams spread down and swing from side to side. The upper two vertical beams correspond to the lower two tight beams, which shows the tight knot in the middle palace, in contrast to the big wave painting in the middle. Figure 2? Straight man? 、? Deng? The horizontal painting of the word "two" is like a gymnast pulling one leg apart and tightening his upper body symmetrically. Figure 3? Life? The word left and right is like a big umbrella, which completely covers the middle part. What else? Yuan? The vertical hook of the word is stretched to the right, making the whole word elegant and stretched.
2. The size is alternating. This is also the structural feature of Cao Quanbei. Big as shown in Figure 4? Study? Words, such as small? Gangs? Word, the size ratio of the two is about twice. Because of the wide spacing and sparse lines on this monument, the size of the knot appears uneven in the orderly grand composition, which is full of variability and adaptability, so the big one does not see its big, and the small one does not show its small, thus achieving a dialectical unity that complements each other. It can also be seen that the author is very good at using the method of contrast to enrich the composition of this monument through the size and length of the text.
This cloth is well-proportioned. This is mainly manifested in the coordination between stippling of a word, the distance between the same stippling is roughly equal, and the stroke combination of the word is also sparse.
Dense symmetry. Figure 5? North Korea? The left half of the word is densely arranged and the right half is sparsely arranged. The gap between strokes is very uniform, and the left and right sides are consistent, which is dense and symmetrical. Those who repeatedly draw circles, such as? Quiet? There are two in the world? What? , the same size but not dull. This structural arrangement endows Cao Quanbei with neat, steady, exquisite and elegant temperament.
4. put it away at will. The folding and unfolding of the structure is the common main feature of all the historic sites in Han Li, especially in Cao Quanbei. Its retraction is mainly reflected by the left and right stretching of the pick wave and the skim wave. Figure 6? Publishing? This word is loose left and tight right. Hey? On the other hand, this word is left and right. Jing? Put it down and accept it. Endure? Pick it up and put it down. In this way, the height is scattered, the width changes, and the density of the two parts is properly reconciled, making the characters vivid and flexible. It can be said that the collection has reached its acme in Cao Quanbei, which has become an indispensable main feature of this monument and a symbol of its maturity. Most of these characters are fluent in strokes, moving silently, swallowtail, comfortable in posture, and the contrast between density and vertical convergence is particularly strong. Cao Quanbei's elegant and beautiful style is mainly reflected here.
5. The pen is broken. Figure 7? Country? The strokes in the left and right corners of the upper part of the word are broken to write, which is full and not crowded. Or? The upper part is more ethereal when it leads to the lower part. Another example? Lu? On the left side of the word, the second horizontal line in the upper part and the vertical line in the lower part should be connected by apostrophe, but now they are separated and combined with the right side to form a word. The left side is broken and the right side is connected, but they set each other off.
6. Tighten and loosen. The word "Cao Quanbei" is beautiful and elegant, just like a fairy coming down from the earth, she is outside the cloud nine. It is not only flatter than the general Han tablet, but also closely related to the upper beam and the middle and lower extension of its center of gravity. Figure 8? Easy? Chinese characters, with short waist on the top and high strokes on the bottom, stand upright or spread apart. Another example? Lee? The whole word is folded up, tightly wound in the upper half of the middle palace, and escapes to the left in a thick arc, which is more rhythmic in the strong contrast of density. This close-fitting structure is one of the key elements to form a beautiful artistic style. It is beautiful with Gu Zhuo's simple and natural beauty and cannot be biased.
Matters needing attention in Cao Quanbei
This tablet is an important masterpiece of official script in Han Dynasty. It is famous for its elegant style and even structure, so it has always been valued by calligraphers. Sun Qing Chengze's "Gengzi Ji Xiaoxia" says: Calligraphy is elegant and elegant, which complements the "ritual monument" and is also a treasure of Han Dynasty stone relief. ? Zhu Qing and Lu Zhen said in Introduction to Calligraphy:? However, there are more than 50 lines printed on the tablet, but there are not many rubbings, and the brushwork is all there. Although the book of naming and counting at that time was not as good as the preface, Xiao's style was unique and beyond the reach of future generations. This covers the true face of the Han people, and the wall leaks in the rain. ? Qing Wanjing's "Even Li?" Bei tried to say: Calligraphy is beautiful, unconstrained, and fascinating. ?
Cao Quanbei is elegant and beautiful in many official script styles, and it is even better in brushwork. For those who study official script, it should be correct to choose this tablet as a model.
1. The artistic style of this monument is mainly beautiful and strong at the same time. When you study, you should show your integrity. Stippling should be rich and barren. Press more when lifting the pen, and the strokes are mature and natural. You shouldn't use the pen too astringent and the ink too dry. In structure, we should pay attention to the changing law of its center of gravity and match the density to enrich the structural changes. In the choice of pen, wool pen is suitable, and wool pen can better reflect its characteristics of rigid and flexible lines, roundness and fullness.
2. Learning should not be fast, every stroke should be fast and slow. For example, the pen should be slowly started and closed, and the middle part should be fast, and then the combination of illness and astringency should be pursued.
3. At the beginning of learning, it is mainly based on the characteristics of being faithful to the original. To make a detailed analysis and serious experience of the original post, the key is to use a pen. Does the Tibetan front enter the paper? And then what? Has the Tibetan front actually entered the paper? On comparative training. Training requires meticulous brushwork, careful consideration of structure and attention to the relationship between parts. Structural training should correctly grasp its characteristics and not be sloppy.
4. When copying, you must have the spirit of studying and the perseverance to overcome difficulties. Only by making an appointment first and then returning to the appointment by Bo can we succeed. Never change your mind. The foundation is not solid, but you are busy creating, which is the taboo of learning books.
Many beginners of calligraphy often encounter the following problems: many inscriptions are badly damaged, they can't recognize what they are, they can't see how to use strokes, they don't know how to copy and appreciate them. These problems have been in the fields of calligraphy inscription, calligraphy aesthetics, calligraphy history and so on. Many calligraphy theorists have devoted their lives to this. However, as beginners, we should not stop because of these problems. We should learn more about calligraphy by reading books and consulting teachers, so as to make progress in learning books.
