Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of calligraphy assistance, in particular to an octagonal grid universal calligraphy plate and a writing and typesetting method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Calligraphy plates (or "calligraphy grids") are auxiliary tools used to standardize character structure and control stroke positions in calligraphy practice and creation. They help writers master the proportions, symmetry and spatial layout of Chinese characters through preset grid lines or partitions.

[0003] Currently, the common standardized calligraphy formats include Tianzi grid and Mizi grid. Their main usage method is to write within the border, and standardize the font, shape and strokes through vertical and horizontal straight lines and oblique lines. They mainly provide standardized technical support for regular script writing, and are only adapted to the equal proportion of regular script. It is difficult to meet the fluidity requirements of running script and cursive script writing and creation, and the proportion refinement requirements of complex glyphs, resulting in problems such as inability to deeply standardize strokes, distorted and non-standardized glyphs. Even for the standardized support for regular script, it cannot provide variable formats.

[0004] To this end, those skilled in the art have proposed an octagonal grid universal calligraphy plate and a writing and typesetting method thereof to solve the problems raised by the background technology.

[0005] The above information disclosed in this background technology is only for enhancing understanding of the background technology of the present invention and therefore it may contain information that does not constitute the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an octagonal grid universal calligraphy plate and a writing and typeset method thereof, so as to solve the problem that the field grid and rice grid in the existing technology are only suitable for the equal division ratio of regular script, and are difficult to meet the fluidity requirements of running script and cursive script writing and creation, and the proportion refinement requirements of complex fonts.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an octagonal grid universal calligraphy plate, comprising a unit cell, wherein the unit cell is an octagonal grid plate;

[0008] A square ABCD is provided in a cell and serves as a basic operation unit for representing a space within a character;

[0009] Rhombus EFGH, which is obtained by dividing the square ABCD into equal parts along the upper and lower and left and right edge lines, and then dividing the divided areas into equal parts again as above, obtaining a midline, a midline point, two quarter lines and corresponding sub-division points, and connecting the quarter points of adjacent sides and extending them appropriately;

[0010] The large square IJKL is obtained by extending the lines passing through the points EFGH and being parallel to AD, AB, BC, and CD. The large square IJKL is the maximum space of the octagonal grid unit cell.

[0011] Preferably, the octagonal grid plate includes a plurality of proportional plates, and the plurality of proportional plates include a 4 / 4 plate, a 4 / 5 plate, a 4 / 6 plate, a 5 / 4 plate, a 2 / 4 plate and a 3 / 4 plate, for adapting to Chinese characters of different structures.

[0012] Preferably, the 4 / 4 version refers to a version whose length and width are both 4 units of length.

[0013] Preferably, the 4 / 5 version refers to a rectangular version with a length-to-width ratio of 4:5, which is used for writing vertically long Chinese characters.

[0014] Preferably, the 4 / 6 version refers to a rectangular version with a length-to-width ratio of 4:6, which is used for writing Chinese characters with lengthened strokes in regular and cursive scripts.

[0015] Preferably, the 5 / 4 version refers to a rectangular plate with a length-to-width ratio of 5:4, and its basic frame is obtained by extending the AD side and the BC side of the square ABCD.

[0016] Preferably, the 2 / 4 version refers to a rectangular plate with a length-to-width ratio of 2:4, and its basic frame is obtained by equally divided MNOPs on the AD and BC sides of the square ABCD.

[0017] Preferably, the 3 / 4 version refers to a version in which the ratio of the width of the characters to the width of the basic grid is 3:4.

[0018] Preferably, the octagonal grid plate also includes an adjustable center line EG to adapt to the writing characteristics of regular script and cursive script.

[0019] A method for writing and typesetting an octagonal grid universal calligraphy plate comprises the following steps:

[0020] According to the structural characteristics of Chinese characters, choose the appropriate plate ratio;

[0021] In the square ABCD, the main stroke positions of the Chinese character are determined using the selected plate;

[0022] Use four diagonal lines and auxiliary lines to further refine the strokes and structure of Chinese characters;

[0029] Figure 3 This is another schematic diagram of the structure of a general-purpose octagonal calligraphy plate and its writing and typesetting method in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. It should be noted that the drawings are schematic and not to scale. For the sake of clarity and convenience, the relative sizes and proportions of the parts shown in the drawings are exaggerated or reduced in size, and any sizes are only illustrative and not restrictive.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] See also Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, an octagonal grid universal calligraphy plate includes a unit cell, and each unit cell is an octagonal grid plate;

[0033] Square ABCD is set within a cell and serves as a basic operation unit to represent the space within a character. For example, when writing the Chinese character "田", its four sides can completely coincide with the edges of square ABCD. The use of the grid of square ABCD can fully integrate the usage methods of the Tian character grid and the Mi character grid.

[0034] Rhomboid EFGH is obtained by equally dividing square ABCD along the upper and lower, left and right edge lines respectively, and then equally dividing the divided areas again in the same way to obtain a middle dividing line, a midpoint, two 1 / 4 dividing lines and corresponding re-dividing points. Connect the 1 / 4 dividing points of adjacent sides and extend them appropriately. The combination of square ABCD and rhomboid EFGH forms the basic cell of an octagonal grid plate.

[0035] Large square IJKL is obtained by extending lines passing through points of EFGH and parallel to AD, AB, BC, and CD. Large square IJKL is the largest space of the octagonal grid cell. Outside square ABCD and inside large square IJKL can be regarded as the space outside the character. This can avoid calculating the space inside and outside the character like traditional Tian character grids and Mi character grids, and the complete or partial coincidence of the edges is helpful for the practice of straight strokes.

[0036] Since a cell formed by square ABCD and rhomboid EFGH has eight corners ABCDEFGH, it is called an octagonal grid. The cell is formed by superimposing two squares, square ABCD and rhomboid EFGH (actually, the side lengths of these two squares are not equal), so it is also called a superimposed grid.

[0037] Specifically, the octagonal grid plate includes multiple proportional plates, including 4 / 4 plate, 4 / 5 plate, 4 / 6 plate, 5 / 4 plate, 2 / 4 plate and 3 / 4 plate, which are used to adapt to Chinese characters with different structures.

[0038] Furthermore, square ABCD can be regarded as a 4 / 4 plate because both the length and width of square ABCD are 4 unit lengths, and the inside of square ABCD can be divided into 4X4 small cells.

[0039] Furthermore, the 4 / 5 plate refers to a rectangular plate with a length-to-width ratio of 4:5, which is used to write vertically long Chinese characters. It is obtained by extending the AB and DC sides of square ABCD until they intersect with the IL or JK side of large square IJKL. Example character: The character "德" in Yan Zhenqing's "Yan Qinli Bei", whose shape is long and narrow, is a type of vertically long character like a door panel.

[0040] Furthermore, the 4 / 6 version refers to a rectangular plate with a length-to-width ratio of 4:6, which is used to write Chinese characters with extended strokes in running and cursive scripts. Similar to the 4 / 5 version, by extending it in both directions, a 4 / 6 rectangular plate is obtained, that is, a plate with a length of 4 units and a width of 6 units.

[0041] Furthermore, the 5 / 4 version refers to a rectangular plate with a length-to-width ratio of 5:4. Its basic framework is obtained by extending the AD and BC sides of the square ABCD. Extend one small unit cell to the left or right, or increase 0.5 small unit cells to the left and right simultaneously. It is mainly for the wide and flat Chinese character structures. Example characters: the character "滋" in "Yan Qinli Bei", the character is in a horizontal rectangular (i.e., wide and flat) structure; most of the clerical script character structures are wide and flat. The character "桃" in "Gu Shi Si Tie" is in a horizontal rectangular structure. The 4 / 5 version, 4 / 6 version and 5 / 4 version are fractional plates obtained by expanding the space of the square ABCD.

[0042] Example Two:

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, this example is basically the same as the previous example. The difference is that the 2 / 4 version refers to a rectangular plate with a length-to-width ratio of 2:4. Its basic framework is obtained by equally dividing MNOP on the AD and BC sides of the square ABCD. Points M and P are the midpoints of the AP side on the square ABCD. That is, the unit length of MP is 2 unit lengths, and similarly NO is also 2 unit lengths. Then the ratio of MP to AD and NO to BC is 2 / 4. We call the relationship between MNOP and the square ABCD 2 / 4. MNOP and the square ABCD together constitute the 2 / 4 version, reflecting a new type of fractional pattern and representing a Chinese character structure relationship. The plates of this structure mainly reflect a slender font, such as some calligraphy styles of Ouyang Xun. Example characters: the characters "雲 (云)" and "霞" in "Zhao Zhuo Yun Xia" in Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Gong Liting Ming".

[0044] Specifically, the 3 / 4 version refers to a plate where the width of the character is in a ratio of 3:4 to the width of the basic grid. Similar to the 2 / 4 version, for the 3 / 4 version, the width of the character is in a ratio of 3:4 to the width of the basic grid. The width of the character can be either the overall width or the partial width. It is commonly seen in the left-right structure characters of Ouyang Xun's calligraphy style and the up-down structure characters of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy style. This reflects the relatively "broad and abundant" feature of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy style. Example characters: the character "勑" in "Jiucheng Gong Liting Ming", the characters "童" and "书" in "Yan Qinli Bei", all with a width-to-length ratio approximately of 3:4. The 2 / 4 version and 3 / 4 version are fractional plates obtained by specifically dividing the internal space of the square ABCD.

[0045] Example Three:

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as the previous one. The difference is that the octagonal grid plate further includes an adjustable center line EG, which is used to adapt to the writing characteristics of running script and cursive script. Based on the square ABCD as the basic grid, with EG as the overall center line, and with FF, HG, FG, EH and their parallel lines as the oblique lines for basic operations. However, the characteristic of the octagonal grid plate is that both the grid and the algorithm can be broken and recombined and re-operated. The above-mentioned proportional plate division is an example of the traditional grid being broken and recombined. The support for the swinging of the center lines of the rows and columns in running script and cursive script reflects the new operation of the center line algorithm, which is not available in other traditional grids.

[0047] Taking EG as the center line (which can be the center line of the character or also called the center line of the row and column) is a common usage. When writing running script and cursive script, it is also possible to swing the center line EG to the left and right MN, PO or other lines. For example, for the line of characters "Dongming nine-zhi covers north" in "Four Poems of the Ancient Style", it is written as a right swing on the center line EG of the octagonal grid plate. For the line of characters "The ancestral tomb has been separated again and suffered" in "Letter of Sorrow and Turmoil", it is written as a right swing first and then a left swing on the center line EG of the octagonal grid plate.

[0048] In the above examples, the "Stele of Yan Qinli" by Yan Zhenqing and the "Inscription on the Stone Tablet of the Sweet Spring in the Nine-Iron Palace" by Ouyang Xun are regular scripts, the "Four Poems of the Ancient Style" by Zhang Xu is cursive script, and the "Letter of Sorrow and Turmoil" by Wang Xizhi is running script.

[0049] Embodiment 4:

[0050] A writing and typesetting method for a general octagonal grid calligraphy plate, including the following steps:

[0051] According to the structural characteristics of Chinese characters (such as the width and narrowness of the character shape, the length of the strokes), select the most suitable one from the provided multiple proportional plates. For example, for wide and flat characters, select the 5 / 4 plate, and for long and narrow characters, select the 4 / 5 plate;

[0052] Within the selected plate, use the boundaries and diagonals of the square ABCD to determine the positions of the main strokes of the Chinese character. For example, for a character "field", its four sides can coincide with the side lines of the square ABCD;

[0053] Use the diagonal lines and auxiliary lines of the square ABCD, the rhombus EFGH and the large square IJKL to further refine the strokes and structure of the Chinese character. These lines can help learners more accurately master the proportion and symmetry of Chinese characters;

[0054] According to the writing requirements of Chinese characters, adjust the position of the center line EG to adapt to the writing characteristics of running script and cursive script. In running script and cursive script, the swinging of the center line is crucial for showing the fluidity and dynamic beauty of the character shape. For example, when writing the character "cloud", it may be necessary to swing the center line EG to the right to adapt to its wide and flat structure.
