Appreciation of classical Chinese writing with brush

1. How to appreciate the brush is a practical tool, but with the needs of social economy and culture, the output and variety of the brush are constantly improved, and the technology is also constantly improved, making the brush increasingly perfect and exquisite, and gradually becoming an antique for collection and appreciation. Brush is not easy to store, and it is practical and easy to break, so the appreciation of brush can start with the shape of brush, with emphasis on strong decoration, rich colors and rich pen tubes.

The shape of brush strokes is improved for the needs of writing and painting. The ancients used bamboo shoots to make brush, which is a traditional China name, belonging to short-edged wool and double brush. The front short body is short and thick, shaped like a bamboo shoot. The front abdomen is thick, and the paper is easy to be dignified and thick. Besides being practical, it also gives people an appreciation interest. Another example is orchid-style bristles, which is also one of the traditional brushes in China. The handwriting is round, white, pure and delicate, like a magnolia in bud, giving people a beautiful viewing and pleasing feeling. There was also a name in ancient times, which made the brush into a gourd shape. Double brushes are round and strong.

As the brush tube has become the object of appreciation and collection, people often use precious pearls and jade to make the brush tube in order to gain the beauty of decoration or boast of its wealth and status. For example, in the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1778), Tang Bingjun said in Volume III of "Examination of Literati": "China's pen was written with gold carvings, wall decorations, Sui pearls and Pei Cui. Non-rhinoceros must use ivory, which is extremely gorgeous. " At this time, the brush is not only a tool for painting and calligraphy, but also a work of art for people to enjoy and play with. The decoration of the pen tube described in this paper has reached perfection, and the appreciation conditions have also been improved. For example, ancient craftsmen can use the circumference of the pen tube to describe and carve ingenious landscape figures, depicting the momentum of mountains and seas, which is enough to show unique decorative interest. Reached the condition of appreciation. The collection of Ming Dynasty black lacquer, painted lacquer depicting Un-yong Kim and dragons and phoenixes, and Shuanglong marker pen in the Forbidden City is an example.

These pen holders and pen covers are all painted in black, while the beads of Shanhai and Yunlong are painted. The sea is rough and the rocks stand tall. In the meantime, there were only a few waves crashing into stones, which outlined a vast expanse of artistic conception and set off the momentum of the black dragon soaring in the air and leaping over the pearls in the clouds. In addition, the painted pigments are fine, the colors are bright and harmonious, the picture composition is clear and the layout is rigorous. The pen holder and pen cover are inlaid with golden buttons, which adds a sense of wealth and luxury. The brush is smooth in color, * * * strong, gourd-shaped, sharp and straight, beautiful and straight, exquisite and skillful, and has four virtues: sharp, even, round and healthy. It is the evidence of the pen-making level in Ming Dynasty, the treasure handed down from ancient times in Four Treasures of the Study, and the rare thing to appreciate the brush. Therefore, the focus of appreciating the brush is to look at the material of the brush tube and the artistic level of its decoration, painting, carving and inlay. Materials and decorations are the best, and its value is very high.

To identify ancient pens, we must first systematically understand and recognize the preserved relics and the history of ancient pens in various eras, and grasp the rich cultural connotation. Distinguish the historical upper and lower limits of pen-making, distinguish the areas where pens are made, grasp the characteristics of famous pen-makers in each era, and distinguish whether they are made by the people in the palace as a tribute or by the government. Secondly, look at the damage of the pen. Then focus on the decoration of the pen tube, whether there is a famous pen maker's seal cutting, whether there are celebrity messages and inscriptions. To divide the era of celebrities, we must have rich scientific and cultural knowledge and rich literary level, so as to identify the poems of celebrities and the era of cultural relics, thus embodying the value of cultural relics. Every cultural relic has been forged in different historical periods. Only by enriching one's knowledge, knowing more and consulting others with an open mind can one improve one's ability of identification and discrimination.

2.336 words of classical Chinese calligraphy "The Posterity" [Song] Shao Yong's top class is good and does not teach; People who are in the middle of the product, teach and then be good; Inferior people are hard to teach.

What is good without teaching, but not sacred? Teach and be a good person, but what if you are not virtuous? If you don't teach well, why not be stupid? Those who know the good are also fortunate; Those who are not good at it are also fierce. Lucky, don't look at the color of indecent assault, don't listen to the sound of indecent assault, don't speak indecent words, don't practice unreasonable places, don't take good, don't take justice, like a saint, avoid evil like a snake and scorpion.

Or if you don't call it a lucky person, then I don't believe it either. Fierce people, cunning people, stop at insidious people, good at decorating mistakes, greedy people, good at diseases, good at eating and drinking, guilty and punished, physically destroyed, and great.

Or if you don't call it a murderer, I don't believe it either. There is a saying: although Ji people are good, they are short of days; It's only a few days before the killer is bad.

Do you want to be lucky? Want to be a murderer? .

4. Appreciation of Brush Calligraphy Works The ancient poems "Zhou Du An Ren" and "Zhou Du An Ren" are a seven-character quatrain created by Yang Wanli, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. This poem is simple and interesting, showing the childlike behavior of two carefree little fishermen, and their behavior reveals the whimsy and intelligence that only children have. It reflects the cuteness and agility of two children.

On a fishing boat, there are two children. They put away their bamboo poles, stopped their oars and sat on the boat. No wonder they open umbrellas when it doesn't rain. It turned out that they didn't want to shelter from the rain, but wanted to use the umbrella as a sail to let the boat go forward.

Full text appreciation:

"A fishing boat and two children are on board." This is what the poet saw. The reason why these two children caught the poet's attention is that although they were sitting in the boat, they didn't row a boat. It's strange that the bamboo pole for rowing is put away and the paddle is parked there. It can be seen that the poet's mood at this time is leisurely and cheerful, so he noticed what the two children did.

"It's strange to take an umbrella when it doesn't rain, not to cover your head but to make wind." Here, the story of two children playing umbrellas seen by the poet is omitted, and the doubts in the poet's heart are omitted, and the joy of solving doubts is directly written. The solution to the question may be that the poet saw the abnormal behavior of the child and began to observe and think more carefully. As a result, he suddenly realized that the two children were holding umbrellas even when it didn't rain, but waving the handle of the umbrella to let the wind blow the boat forward. You can also ask two children directly, and the children will tell him the reason. In any case, knowing the reason, the poet must be unintentional, for the sake of children's intelligence and their naivety.
