Doubt " bone of colour muscle willow " add work appreciation

Doubt " bone of colour muscle willow "

Bone of colour muscle willow (colour: Yan Zhenqing of Tang Dynasty calligrapher; Willow: Tang Dynasty calligrapher willow public right) point to Yan Liu law of two a letter from home is quite strong strong, but the style differs somewhat. Also general term calligraphy is admirable. Dai Fanzhong of out the Song Dynasty wides " article of bachelor of stone of hold a memorial ceremony for " : "Pen of graceful Qing Zhi, bone of colour muscle willow. Bone of colour muscle willow..

"Bone of colour muscle willow " the calligraphy characteristic that wraparound is public right of Yan Zhenqing of Tang Dynasty calligrapher, willow. This one viewpoint is treated as " axiom " , circulate very wide, far-reaching, give in the program that down to near future still has scholastic centrally TV station affirmation and v&v compliment. But I think this kind of viewpoint is not very accurate, however " half half-and-half is incorrect " . That is to say, "Willow bone " saying is correct, be give no cause for more criticism; And " colour muscle " saying is impertinent. I think to should give to this differentiate is clear, lest continue to circulate, give today person and successor with misdirect.

To show this issue, we should make clear above all what is " muscle " and " bone " . "Muscle " , " bone " it is the child that undertakes to calligraphy line figure is generalized. Evaluate calligraphy, divide " muscle " , " bone " outside, still have " blood " , " the flesh " say. "Muscle " , " bone " , " blood " , " the flesh " , these are 4 kinds of when have different characteristic and charm when the ancients undertakes be generalized highly and be summinged up to all line main types. They and " house leakage mark " , " the wall splits open " , " She Chai " , " iron picture silver is hooked " , " banzai withered cane " waiting for wonderful line is stationed in commensalism together, and with " Chinese ink pig " , " nailhead " , " rat-tail " , " bee waist " , " toothed " , " rings " waiting for deformed line is antipathetic.

"Muscle " , " bone " , " blood " , " the flesh " no matter why are these 4 kinds of features being planted chirography, why to plant in strokes, can find their form. They are having important place in calligraphy. Specific and character, they not only have its distinctive color, and the verve that containing to abound.

"Bone " namely skeletal, framework. Have " bone " line is able-bodied and forceful powerful, magnificent. The person is in Jin Weifu " sum a graph " in discuss: "Style of writing or drawing of be apt to person much bone, not good at style of writing or drawing person meaty. Much bone small flesh person calling muscle book, small bone is meaty person calling Chinese ink pig. Muscle of much power abundant person emperor, the person that do not have muscle feebly is ill. " this is the earliest probably will " bone " , " the flesh " these life term cite to comment on medium book to talk to calligraphy. This one theory studies for us line gifted new connotation and direction. "Bone " reflect in regular script particularly sufficient. In " bone " the representative regular script that should be Tang Dynasty is provided most on expression everybody the work of the person such as public right of Yan Zhenqing, willow, Ou Yangxun.

"Muscle " namely muscle tendon, ligament. Have " muscle " line is withy, chastening. Yuan acting Chen Yi ever " law of muscle of · of gist of member of the Imperial Academy " in say: "The muscle of the word, style of writing is also. " Ming Daifeng lane is in " book tricks of the trade " in say: "The book has flesh and blood of bones and muscles. Muscle is born at wrist, wrist can hang a muscle arteries and veins to be linked together have situation. Point to can solid, criterion bone put oneself in another's position is substantial and not weak. " be in " muscle " the representative seal character that should be Li Si, Song Hui an administrative unit in Xizang provides most on expression " thin gold body " , the regular script that Dai satisfies fine.

"The flesh " for flesh, skin. Its function is inside protect appearance of form of bones and muscles, exterior trim. Have " the flesh " line is plump moist, springiness. Chen Yi ever said: "The flesh of the word, pen fine long hair is also. Scanty place right-falling stroke is full, fine point is carried fly. Equal part right-falling stroke is full, risk department is carried fly. " clear generation " law of flesh of · of calligraphy of Yu Yan building " say: "Thick a fleshy sluggish, accumulate a flesh to coagulate. " these are to say " the flesh " property and action. In " the flesh " Luo of the representative running hand that should be Su Shi, Zhao Mengwan eye is provided most on expression

"Blood " the arteries and veins that it is blood, hemal. "Blood " but skin of alimentary bones and muscles, jade-like stone embellish. Have " blood " the labyrinthian and winding pattern that the vein canal that line is like a person shows apparently in the skin. Zhang Xu " ancient poetry 4 post " line is planted with this phenomenon quite part is similar. Of the mad grass that there still is Tang Dynasty to conceive element in this respect and Chinese generation Zhang Zhi cursive.

"Muscle " , " bone " , " blood " , " the flesh " these 4 kinds of features can be divided according to different property and action again it is two kinds, namely bones and muscles and flesh and blood. Among them bones and muscles is " god " , basically reflect the imposing manner with immanent line and strength; Flesh and blood is " form " , basically show the charm with explicit line and elegant demeanour.

Make a word want to have bones and muscles above all. Of Wang Xi say: "Be about to get its look, get its bone first, skeleton force is gotten already, its situation gives birth to Yan. " rare put together says Tang Cai: "Every word all needs moral integrity hero strong, bright bright has like that fly the form that use. " poetic Du Fu also says: "The book is expensive thin just open a mind forcedly. "The book is expensive thin just open a mind forcedly..

Clear acting Bao Shichen, health promising is the pioneer that advocates tablet to learn. They " esteem tablet " , the solid energetic that primary reason depends on valueing the strokes in tablet and abound the beauty of massiness of of primitive simplicity. They think, tablet but strong its bone, benefit its situation. Sun Zhongshan also advocates tablet to learn, think to have in tablet " martial " spirit. Learn calligraphy to cannot be not weighed so " bone " , heavy " bone " cannot not learn tablet.

In take seriously " bones and muscles " while, "Flesh and blood " also cannot oversight. Be in harmony of photograph of muscle, bone, blood, flesh, connotation bones and muscles, outside boast charm, yin and yang is complementary, criterion body spirit all is clever. Bridge fierce emperor says: "Simple character does not have fawn on, pure flesh is faint. " Huang Tingjian: "Fat word should have character, thin word should have the flesh. " yuan acting Cheng Ximing says: "The book is body with moral integrity, with advocate inside its; With incarnadine to use, with clear outside its. " Zhang Huai says Tang Dynasty: "Husband horse muscle is meaty it is less on, fleshy much muscle is less below, the book also is like this, all desire flesh and blood is proportional, divine appearance contented. Divine appearance contented..

If one word is same a family, have male, have female, have old, have little, such ability appear perfect, complete, harmonious with happiness. Also cross front courtyard place to say like Tang Dynasty grandson: "Tree of example husband crimson, Qing Qin, different appearance admires in all; Sui Zhu, He Bi, heterogeneous Tong Yan. Heterogeneous Tong Yan..

Feature of these a few kinds of strokes has each appearance characteristic each, each have each functional effect. Say commonly, lose without bone, do not have muscle criterion sluggish, without the flesh withered, stay without blood. In all sorts of different style, feature of these a few kinds of strokes also dash forward show distinct effect. It is normally model contain bone, seal to hide muscle, grass to need flesh of appropriate of blood, be subordinate to. Seal, model surely bones and muscles is embedded in order to conceal its mind, flesh and blood of be subordinate to, careless beard is denotative with clear its appearance.

We contrast again with afore-mentioned content Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. Yan Zhishu law has two to be accomplished greatly. It is regular script. He is " regular script 4 everybody " head. Especially of his old age " altar of hemp aunt celestial being is written down " , " Yan Jiamiao tablet " wait for work, hero of form substance wide rich is strong, develop a school of one's own. And the characteristic of its line should be " bone " and rather than " muscle " . 2 it is running hand. His " manuscript of brother's son of hold a memorial ceremony for " by accepted for " the world the 2nd running hand " . If the characteristic of line of its running hand says be " muscle " also be inaccurate. Perhaps say, yan Zhenqing calligraphic highlights a characteristic is not " muscle " . This shows " colour muscle " the view is to do not have well-founded, it is incorrect, say so " bone of colour muscle willow " the viewpoint cannot hold water completely.

To " muscle " , " bone " , " blood " , " the flesh " be applied mediumly in work of each big book home and behave, I feel wraparound to rise should be: Colour, willow bone, this, Ji muscle, brilliance of the rising sun, element blood, revive, Zhao flesh, namely regular script of public right of Yan Zhenqing, willow is outstanding " bone " , li Sizhuan book, Song Hui an administrative unit in Xizang " thin gold body " outstanding " muscle " , mad grass of element of Zhang Xu, bosom is outstanding " blood " , zhu of bridle of the first month of Su Shi running hand, Zhao conceives an ancient wine vessel made of horn Suan is thin

Someone says line is " of the agitate of force, angry flow, affection deliver, the narrate of life " . Line not only can give a person the impact with the vision, and still can give a person the shock with the heart, wonderful enjoyment and abiding aftertaste, contain is worn concentrated artistic content. Can say consequently, the mural state power that the person that get line can get calligraphy. Shi Tao of clear allograph painter says: "The line is 10 thousand have this, the root of every phenomenon. " the style characteristic that studies line of home of past dynasties book seriously, and accurate control the basic rule that of all kinds line writes and method, the creative work that takes running hand way to us, admire analyse and play etc, have profit greatly.
