1, observe the font:
Lin's running script is fluent and natural, but attention should be paid to the overall structure of the font. When writing, these two parts should form an organic whole, not independent parts.
2. Pay attention to the strokes:
In Lin's running script, the continuity and fluency of strokes are very important. When writing, let the strokes connect naturally, and don't have too stiff or too soft strokes. At the same time, we need to pay attention to the strength and speed of strokes to make the whole glyph look powerful and smooth.
3, appropriate exaggeration:
Lin Hangshu exaggerates, but we should pay attention to the degree and way of exaggeration. When writing, you can exaggerate some strokes appropriately to make the whole glyph more vivid and powerful. However, it should be noted that we should not exaggerate so much that the whole glyph loses its sense of balance and beauty.
4, highlight the main pen:
In Lin's running script, the main pen is more prominent. When writing, we should make the writing style and position of the main pen more reasonable and powerful, and make the whole glyph more layered and stereoscopic.
5. Practice imitation:
To write Lin's running script well requires more practice and imitation. You can find more calligraphy and pen copybooks for copying practice, and gradually master its writing characteristics and skills. In the process of practice, we need to observe and compare the glyphs and brushwork in different copybooks, draw nutrition from them and apply them to our own writing practice.
Introduction and origin of running script
1, Introduction:
Running script is a kind of calligraphy, which is divided into running script and running script. It is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, and it is a font between regular script and cursive script, which is produced to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the illegibility of cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script.
Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence. Those with more patterns than grass patterns are called "running patterns", and those with more grass patterns are called "running grass". Running script is both practical and artistic, and regular script is a literal symbol, which is practical and skillful; Comparatively speaking, cursive script is highly artistic, but its practicality is relatively insufficient.
2. Place of origin:
Running script appeared at the same time as eight-part essay, and its form was very close to eight-part essay and later official script. This is equivalent to changing (chapter) cursive script from official script to other branches derived from "regular script". In addition to official script, the "regular script" in Huanling period was followed by "eight-part essay", so people think that running script is another branch of "eight-part essay".
In fact, it is the same as other calligraphy styles. It was originally founded as a general mass writer. As long as it is written in other calligraphy, it becomes a running script without official style. It can be seen everywhere in bamboo slips unearthed at the end of Han Dynasty. At the end of Han dynasty, running script was not widely used. It was not until the appearance of Wang Xizhi in Jin Dynasty that it became popular.
