Methods and skills of practicing calligraphy in running script
Hook and thread knot: regular script should be written neatly, but running script is not good. It is the so-called "alternating fashion", so when writing a running script, the hooks and knots brought out by the pen naturally appear or are added between snacks.
The so-called hook is to draw a short hook on the origin without hook, such as "Mao". The so-called matchmaking is a thin matchmaking, such as "hair" and "thinking", which is drawn out in the direction of strokes between the front and back or between points. The tick marks between the strokes of the running script seem to be smooth and harmonious, and the posture is natural, giving people a feeling of vigor and vitality.
Turn round without folding square: the turning point of regular script is mostly folding square, while the turning point of running script is mostly cursive, so running script appears smooth. However, it should be noted that the circle of running script has a sense of folding, and you should still keep the pen pressed when writing, otherwise it will be round and powerless, lacking both, and there will be circles in the square, such as "Hou", "Luo" and "Sheng".
