Six methods of official script.
Variant writing structure: structural variation changes the original font or radical writing, making it different from the original font. Among them, there are phenomena such as radical shift and stroke shift. Most of them are different writing structures during the evolution from seal script to official script. For example:? Cao? 、? Song? 、? Reply? Equivalent words.
Structure of seal script: official script evolved from seal script, and many Han tablets have the brushwork and structure of seal script. As Wang Shizhen said in the Ming Dynasty, his official laws always have a seal and a clock? Hey? , beam (gue) slightly different and indomitable spirit, god color flying, suspected that not in lang (Cai Yong) can't also. The existing seal script structure is a lagging phenomenon of seal script, among which Xia Chengbei, Bao and Pei Cenbei are the most prominent. For example:? Clock? Hey? 、? Summer? Equivalent words.
Add stroke structure: if the word is difficult to structure, or add strokes because of the lack of strokes, that is, (sparse complement). In this way, the whole glyph is meticulous, elegant and dense, which increases the sense of solemnity. This pen-adding structure originated from seal script and belongs to the lag phenomenon of seal script. For example:? Cold? 、? Xuan? 、? Soldiers? 、? Union? Equivalent words.
Simplify complexity: Simplifying complexity is a common phenomenon in Han Li. It is to simplify some strokes on the premise of being easy to understand, sometimes subtracting the same strokes, and sometimes subtracting some strokes to make the structure more refined. No matter how it is simplified, it is an artistic process, that is, it is complicated and easy to simplify, and the original character style is retained as a whole. This kind of characters can be called ancient simplified characters, which is the first step of simplified characters today. For example:? Is it broken? 、? Spirit? 、? Nothing? Equivalent words.
Two folds: the fold of official script is composed of two strokes in different directions. In other words, the end of the previous stroke is spliced with the beginning of the next stroke. When writing, some are connected, some are broken, and the broken means breaking the pen, and even the words should be correspondingly interesting. The quality of square folding often determines the success or failure of fonts, so you must be careful when writing. Like what? Wai? 、? Four? Equivalent words.
One-pillar independence: the characters are wide at the top, narrow at the bottom and vertical at the bottom, as independent as a golden rooster. For example, words such as A, Zhuo, Che, Zheng and Chang. When writing, the last stroke should be vigorous and powerful, the composition should be stable, you can persist, and you should grasp the essence of seeking stability in danger. If this pen loses its strength, it will cause the whole word to feel soft or askew.
