1, writing speed is moderate: cursive writing often leads to unclear handwriting due to the pursuit of speed, so you should master the speed when writing, both fast and clear.
2. Practice font: The font of cursive script can be simplified, but the basic characteristics and legibility of the text should be maintained to avoid the font being too vague. You can improve the consistency and stability of strokes by practicing glyphs repeatedly.
3. Strengthen line control: cursive scripts are often illegible because of chaotic, cross and overlapping lines. It is necessary to strengthen the control of lines, pay attention to the smoothness and stability of strokes, and avoid staggered lines or improper closure.
4. Standardize spacing and font size: cursive scripts often have irregular spacing and uneven font size, which is easy to cause confusion. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the unification and standardization of word spacing and font size when writing.
5. Learn to standardize calligraphy: Although cursive script is simplified, it is still inseparable from the basis of standardizing calligraphy. By learning standard calligraphy such as block letters and running scripts, we can improve our understanding and mastery of stroke structure, proportion, order and strength.
Classification of cursive script
1, Cao Zhang: The strokes are simple, connected by a winding belt, similar to this kind of grass. However, its structure is straight, its brushwork is blunt, and there are waves in the strokes, especially at the beginning and end of the painting, which obviously retains the brushwork of the official script, and its words are independent, intermittent and orderly, which is obviously different from grass and weeds.
2. Today's cursive script: The so-called cursive script is formed by removing the traces of official script left by Cao Zhang, speeding up the strokes on the basis of Cao Zhang and regular script, and adding hooks. Zhang Huaiguan's "Broken Book" said: "The book of Cao Zhang has different characters, and Zhang Zhi has turned it into a modern grass, increasing its flow rate, plucking its hair, linking it up and down, or borrowing the suffix as the next prefix, which is odd-shaped, and has both numbers and meanings." This is a summary of the different postures and brushwork of Cao Zhang and Cao Jin, such as Cui Yuan's "Fairy Post".
3. Weeds: Founded in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xu, a native of the Tang Dynasty, was the founder of weeds, so he was called "the sage of grass". Huai Su, a later monk, was also a master of weeds. Weeds are simpler and faster than today's grass, and their brushwork is more continuous and tortuous, lively and flying, and they are unrestrained and have the potential to gallop thousands of miles.
