Running script and cursive script, the former is more inclined to running script, while the latter is more inclined to running script, so the difference between them lies not only in whether the strokes stick together, but in the writer's meaning and artistic conception, which is a kind of "tendency". For example, even if the strokes stick together, the skeleton of the whole word is relatively clear and easy to identify, and there is a kind of "will" of running script, which can be said to be a single style of running script. Judging from the "tendentiousness", these two statements coincide. Tian Yingzhang's point of view is a separate shelf structure based on fonts; Tian's view is from the perspective of chapter layout. One of them is defined from the perspective of single words and strokes, and the other is defined from the perspective of the overall layout of the chapter. In fact, what they said is not the same thing at all. They just said a similar truth in defining whether it is a running script or a cursive script, that is, judging from the perspective of "tendency".
In fact, in my opinion, and according to the definition of masters, judging running script and cursive script depends not only on the relationship between strokes, but also on the style of the whole chapter, that is to say, from a more comprehensive point of view, because it is impossible to define the font simply by lifting a word from a calligraphy work. Take the viewpoint of defining running script as an example: whether "strokes echo without meaning" or "both running script and running script", it shows that the overall tendency is biased towards running script. or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium
For the definition method, it is only an induction of later generations. It is normal for different people to have different opinions. The key is that in the process of understanding them, we can understand and learn the style, characteristics and integrity of calligraphy fonts. As for those things that are vague and can't be located, as long as we know something and learn something, we should not emphasize and classify them too deliberately.
