If you want to write "The Story of Magu Fairy Altar" well, you should not only have a clear understanding of its stroke characteristics, but also master its basic structural characteristics. Here is a brief introduction to its structural characteristics.
Structural Features of Magu Xiantan
1. The structure is pressed down and it moves silently. The structure of every word in the Biography of Magu Xiantan is extremely changeable, but many words are shifted downwards, which makes people feel dignified and sincere, and the more they look, the more lovely they feel. Moreover, the stroke processing of some words is very in place, which is very interesting and interesting. The words "half" and "Hua" are shown in the figure below.
2. The corners are full and the ends are tight. The closing gesture of "The Story of Magu Xiantan" opened, and the square was full. Its stroke combination is even, neat, steady and vigorous. As shown in the figure below, the words "Dao" and "Cai" are used.
3. Dignified and simple, clever and clumsy. Qing Fukuyama said: "Ning Zhuo is not smart, rather ugly than flattering, rather piecemeal than smooth, rather true than arranged." This gives people a new aesthetic view in theory. However, Yan Zhenqing has been integrating this aesthetic concept into his calligraphy works for a long time, and the story of Magu Xiantan is a good example. As shown in the following figure, the words "He" and "Ma" all show its "clumsy" taste, such as the brushwork of hidden front, the lines cast by seal cutting and the magnificent structure. In addition, while savoring its "clumsiness", we can also feel the breath of "cleverness".
4. The posture is heavy and the weather is magnificent. The story of Magu Xiantan is dignified and magnificent, which is a mystery in the structure of the monument. Especially in some words with left and right structures, they don't pay attention to interlude, but try their best to be left and right independent in posture, but they also form an artistic whole in expression, making the monument look thick, round and old. As shown in the figure below, the words "Yan" and "Su" are used.
Yan Zhenqing's Notes on Ma Guxian is simple and elegant in style, restrained and implicit, which combines the qi of seal script with the method of opening letters. The lines are like long live withered vines, and the structure is broad and strange. It can be said that it is ancient and heavy, well-prepared, full of connotation and grace. Let's analyze a word.
Structural Analysis of The Story of Magu Xiantan
The word "day" in the picture belongs to Kaohsiung, taking the vertical trend of seal script and the broad model of law. On closer inspection, the left vertical is slightly inclined to seal the seal, and the horizontal painting is not connected with the vertical painting, and the folding painting is not eclectic, and the tendons and bones are emphasized. Its vertical painting is like a crossbow, with a straight arc in the middle, a thick horizontal circle in the middle, and a left virtual right in the lower horizontal direction, which contrasts with the left virtual right in the upper horizontal direction, making the dignified image full of aura and dense meaning.
The word "light" in the picture can be said to be a typical example of the meaning of seal script. The "fire" department borrows the shape of a seal and has a magnificent structure. The whole word is dense and sparse, and the strokes are thick, solid, stiff and clumsy. His stippling has his own method, and his strokes are vertical and horizontal. Pay attention to the performance of muddy temperament when writing, and don't write round, tender, weak and lacking.
The word "Xiang" in the picture is written vertically left and right, forming a situation in which the strokes are wide around, in the middle and the whole word is full. The left half of the word is particularly majestic, and the right half is square and uneven. What is particularly surprising is that the oblique writing of the last line of horizontal lines seems to give people a sense of movement.
The four corners of the word "sea" in the picture are full, showing a muddy macro format, giving people a feeling of solid physique and energy. If you look closely, you will find that the right half of the word is separated up and down, and the blank is "vast and broad"; The left and right dislocation makes the central part "ethereal as a valley" almost the same. The whole word is concentrated in the lower right part, but the upper middle part is empty. Admittedly, the wider the width, the denser the density. Above the right "every"-short strokes make the empty space valuable; The following strokes are thick and fine, so that the hidden places are not forced. This technology of making secrets in sparse places and sparse in dense places is really amazing. One of them is horizontal and the other is left, so that the left and right are tightly bound and do not come apart; The horizontal painting below makes the whole word spread out, which makes people feel excited.

The word "zai" in the picture directly captures the dignified interest of ancient Chinese and adds lightning. The word structure is magnificent, and there is a risk of "if it falls to the southeast". The blank in the middle is very sparse as a whole, which is connected with the blank around, and it is most likely the ancestral hall. The whole word is both male and dangerous, leaving a blank space.
The word "Cheng" in the picture gives people a feeling of grace and generosity. Supported by its left hand and hook, the whole glyph becomes a balanced and symmetrical posture; The horizontal painting moves up, the sketch is full, the left painting is lengthened, and the whole word is full of gas field. Because the word is solid and steady with a pen and the blank shape is round as a whole, it gives people a feeling of peace and majesty.
The word "qi" in the picture is wide and wide, and the pen is heavy and heavy. It uses the pen to press the middle to see the rise and fall, and the left is light and the right is heavy. The strokes are different in length, and the following two points are slightly to the right, which makes the words come alive in prudence.
The word "Li" in the picture is correct with a pen. Seeing the other side is so firm and cautious. Its stippling pen is higher; The top horizontal painting is slightly longer, which makes the whole pattern look full; Take the meaning of two-point seal, like the shape of a servant, high and restrained; The long horizontal oblique pen makes the stroke prescription square, the whole horizontal is straight and powerful, the stroke is a little bit, and it is full of seal cutting breath before the circle is pressed back.
The word "Wang" in the picture is stable, high and wide, with the upper horizontal cover and the lower two horizontal inclinations. Taking the meaning of seal script, it changes steadily, but it feels powerful but not fierce, and it has a solemn trend.
The font of the word "He" in the picture is extensive, and the pen is particularly powerful. The characters are drawn horizontally for a long time, filling the upper part, resulting in a wider pattern; Left-leaning painting, but also adventure, the lower part is solid and firm, four vertical pens hanging, hanging needles, or thick, or heavy, no difference; The sketch is solid and vigorous, and calm is seen in the air.
The calligraphy of Ma Gu Xian Tan Ji is an excellent model for later generations to learn, and the inscription on it has immeasurable reference value for later famous calligraphers.
Stroke characteristics
Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy works are numerous, diverse in style, and have few similarities, but on the whole they are rich, solemn and heavy. The brushwork of "Biography of Magu Xiantan" is characterized by seal cutting, with a straight brushstroke, hiding the head and protecting the tail when starting and closing the pen, and containing energy without revealing it. The following will analyze the characteristics of various strokes in detail to further help you write.
Characteristics of strokes in Biography of Magu Xiantan
1. Huadian
Dot is an important stroke that constitutes Chinese characters. Many strokes come from points and end from points. The point is called "side" in the eight-character method, so it is called "side" because the pen front looks left and right to judge the situation. Wang Xizhi said: "If something is lost, it is a disease of beauty." :-Out of line, like a strong man. "It can be seen that to learn calligraphy well, we must first learn calligraphy well. The stippling in the story of Magu Xiantan is varied, with square, round, long, horizontal, oblique and selective shapes, but all the paintings are vigorous and powerful, echoing Zhuanghe from a distance.
The point on the right is the most commonly used one in this monument, such as the point on the word "Zi" in the left picture. This painting is like melon seeds, polished and round, like dew, full of tension and beauty. Sometimes, the dots are slightly bent to show softness.
The left point is a unique stippling in the tablet, and its position is the same as the right point, far from the center of the word, which fully embodies the characteristics of loose inside and tight outside. For example, the left point of the word "less" in the left picture.
There are many changes in the story of Magu Xiantan. For example, the first point of the word "Bei" in the left picture is replaced by a short horizontal line, the upper point of the word "Ma" becomes a vertical point, and the lower left point of the word "A" becomes a pick point. Even the same Zengtou point is infinitely changeable in this monument. For example, the word "Brother" in the left picture is written in the shape of "Eight", which is the general writing method of Yan characters, and this tablet is no exception; But the two points on the word "he" are written as two small strokes, one sharp and the other blunt; When it comes to the word "beauty", it becomes the "sheep head method", which is a writing method that draws lessons from the method of seal script and makes the words more vivid. When there are three points at the beginning, replace them with three small straight lines, such as the three points at the lower left of the word "Jing" in the left picture; Moreover, the punctuality of words is written in lines, which makes the whole word look clever.

There are many ways to write stippling in the biography of Magu Xiantan, so we must observe it carefully and pay attention to induction when writing.
Horizontal drawing
Horizontal painting is called "music" in the Eight Laws of Yong Zi, which mainly plays the role of character skeleton. Jiang Kuiyun of the Southern Song Dynasty said: "Those who draw horizontally and straightly are also the bones of words." Wang Xizhi also discussed the writing method of horizontal painting: "If it is straight and shaped like a symbol, the top and bottom are a whole, and the front and back are flush, this is not a book, but it is worth mentioning."
The horizontal paintings in the Biography of Magu Xiantan all adopt oblique posture, with low left and high right, but the angle is not big. Fang Bi is mostly used at the beginning of the pen, and the round pen is mainly used to hide the front when closing the pen. His horizontal paintings are not as strong as those in "Jing Jin Bei", but are carefully arranged with similar strokes, calm and dignified. If there are several horizontal paintings juxtaposed in a word, the left tip and the right tip have not changed in Diligence Monument, which will be more vigorous and concise.
The change of horizontal painting in the tablet is more common in the writing process. When writing, the pen tip is slightly shaken, not slippery, flat and straight, and needs to be slightly "leaked". Its thickness is unfathomable and its charm is endless. Sometimes the left side is thick, sometimes the right side is thick, and sometimes the middle side is thick, which brings life to the pen. Multi-horizontal figures, whose horizontal paintings are evenly spaced up and down, uneven left and right, with long and short collocation, change vividly and naturally.
The length of the "ten" in the picture on the right is horizontally divided into strokes, and the strokes are tiled in Qi Li, so the strokes are very thin; The horizontal strokes under the word "hand" are heavy and thick, and the strokes are round and light, which is in obvious contrast with the short horizontal strokes in the middle; The two characters "Yan" and "Wang" have many horizontal drawings, but they are very different, and none of them are the same. Both of them use seal brush and ancient calligraphy, so the strokes are heavy.
Generally speaking, the horizontal painting in The Legend of Ma Gu Xian Tan starts slowly, and the speed of moving the pen is faster than that of moving the pen to generate strength, while the Tibetan front closes the pen slowly to avoid slowness. These are all problems that should be paid attention to when writing this monument.
Vertical drawing
Characteristics of strokes in Biography of Magu Xiantan
Vertical painting plays a pillar role in the structure of Chinese characters. The ancients said, "Long live the withered vine." Therefore, verticality plays an important role in the knot. The vertical painting in Ma Gu Xian Tan Ji has different brushwork and brushwork because of different parts: if it is on the left side of the word, it bends to the left; If it is on the right side of the word, it generally bends to the right to obtain the trend of extension. For example, the vertical picture of the word "mountain" on the right is slightly inclined to the left, and its shape is slightly curved to the left. In the picture on the right, the word "Chuan" stands upright in the middle, then press the pen, and the center strokes downwards, and finally return to the front to collect the pen, which looks like a drop of water, hanging without falling, while the third pen stands upright with a hanging needle, vigorous and powerful, with two vertical strokes side by side, making the word stand tall.

In the Eight Laws of Constant Characters, it is called "herding", which means a flying swallow sweeps down the eaves. When you come out, you should spread it smoothly, but you should exert your strength and not empty it. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, said: "We must plunder for the sake of skimming, and work for the sake of danger." The sketch in "Biography of Magu Fairy Altar" goes against the front of the paper, then raises the pen, along the center, gradually rises and closes, and delivers it to the end of the pen. It is calm and vigorous, like a rhinoceros's broken tooth, without any weakness.
The word "Fang" in the picture below is outlined by the method of seal writing, and the pens are also piled together when writing, making the pens look gloomy and powerful; On the other hand, the word "claw" is short, and after writing backwards, I try to cut the front and write on both sides, sharp and sharp; The word "big" is a long arc, the radian is relatively symmetrical, and the bones and muscles are vigorous, tough and heavy; The left-handed stroke of the word "Wei" is a typical stroke of the tablet. Draw an arc to the left with the stroke method, and the pen will hook down, that is, the pen will be slightly retracted, and then continue to follow the trend and draw a circle to the left before retreating. When the front is straight and ready, it will overtake left or left with explosive force, making the front sharp as a short thorn.

"Four" is called "Zi" in the Eight Laws of Yong Zi. In the Qing Dynasty, Bao said in "Art Boat and Double Boat": "Those who hold it, pull the pen to the right, follow the pen, and do their best to show their urgency." Emperor Taizong also said, "I send a blog for the sake of it, which is 30% more expensive."
The paintings in the story of Magu Xiantan are unique and quite different from other posts in Yan Zhenqing. Its tail foot changes the most, and it seems to have two sharp points, one long and one short, and the middle is sunken. Sometimes the waist of the stroke is slightly sideways, and a broken line appears at the lower edge, which has a kind of stone charm.
The word "He" in the picture below is drawn obliquely. Sometimes there is a short straight line behind this downward convex arc. The pen moves down, the front gradually opens, and the painting gradually thickens. When it reaches two thirds, the painting is thickest. Stop with the pen and then pull it back, which looks sophisticated and vigorous. The word "Zhi" in the picture below is flat and full of twists and turns, and the thickness and direction are also adjusted according to the situation. The war pen is issued, and it is slowly released after it is proud, which is full of ancient meaning.
6. Hook painting
Characteristics of strokes in Biography of Magu Xiantan
Hook is called "Qi" in the Eight-character Method, which means jumping. Wang Xizhi said: "The hook is like a golden pine and falls on a cliff." In Qing dynasty, Bao said, "People crossing the thunder pool are like entering the tiger's mouth. His strength is not in the initial foot, suddenly triggered, but absorbed in the toes. Therefore, the end of the hook should not be allowed to drift, which is also wrong. "
The hook painting in Biography of Magu Xiantan is characterized by a short and sharp hook tip, like a bird's beak, and a heavy and exposed lower part, which is simple and profound. Some hooks are slightly forward, while others are not forward at all. They are hidden in the vertical, implicit and dignified, with strength in them and front hidden in the middle. When writing hooks, we should pay special attention to an important feature of this kind of tablet pen-seal brush and ancient official law. For example, the words "color", "sudden" and "seeking" are drawn on the left.
7. Folding painting
Folding painting is a combination of horizontal painting and vertical painting. The key to writing this painting is to write a good combination of two strokes. The folding paintings in the Biography of Magu Xiantan are mainly circular, which are folded slowly and lightly, and there is little difference in horizontal and vertical thickness. There are three main types: the first is the word "Shen" in the left picture, with a circle inside and outside, which is completely based on the writing techniques of seal script; The second kind of folding is the inner folding of the outer circle, such as the word "zai" in the left picture; The third type, such as the word "edge" in the left picture, is divided into two strokes, which are written horizontally first, then vertically at the fold, and the pen is broken between the two strokes.
Step 8 pick a picture
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Kui pointed out in the Book Continuation: "Those who pick up characters want their steps to be firm, long, short, up, down, left, right, light, oblique, or sharp, and their names are used with the characters." There are many changes in the story of Magu Xiantan, but one obvious feature is that the pen is heavier and the front is shorter, especially on the "three-water point", which gives people a sharp and strong feeling. As shown in the left picture, the word "Ru" means "Enclosed" and "Waterfall".
