The cursive writing of cursive script is as follows:
Information expansion:
Early cursive script is a calligraphy chain parallel to official script. It is generally called official script. In fact, Mixed with some seal cursive shapes. The early cursive script broke the rules and strictness of official script and was a hasty writing method. It's called "Zhangcao".
Zhangcao is an elegant cursive style that combines early period cursive script and Han Li Shuhuanze. It has clear waves, the strokes are connected in a "wave" shape, the characters are independent, the characters are all over the square, and the pen is horizontal. . Zhangcao was most popular during the Han and Wei dynasties. It was revived in the Yuan Dynasty and transformed into the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhangcao was further "cursed", removing the traces of official script strokes, and the strokes between the upper and lower characters were connected. The radicals were also simplified and borrowed from each other, which was called "Jincao".
Jincao evolved from Zhangcao's elimination of waves and challenges. Jincao style has been popular since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, Jincao was written more indulgently, with continuous and sweeping strokes and various character shapes, which was called "Kangcao", also known as Dacao.
In modern times, the aesthetic value of cursive script far exceeds its practical value. Cursive script is a combination of dots and dashes of words according to certain rules, with a simple structure and borrowed radicals. It is not just random writing.
One of the main features of cursive symbols is the hooking of strokes, including up and down hooks and left and right hooks. The horizontal tendency of Lihua's brushwork provides the basis for the cursiveization of left and right hooks. The brushwork of Zhangcao Shupeng uses the "one" shape, while the brushwork of Jincao uses the "s" shape. This is the fundamental difference between the two. Indulgent brushwork and messy stippling are also called big grass or wild grass.
In order to facilitate writing, after a long process of customization, especially during the period when seal script was transformed into official script, the number of popular cursive characters gradually increased, and the writing methods gradually became unified. After a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, finally The cursive script with laws was produced, which was Zhangcao, and later developed into Jincao. Cursive script in the narrow sense refers to Zhangcao and Jincao.
The drafting method has been basically formed since the chapter. The conventional drafting method is both normative and flexible. Its basic content includes the following three aspects: First, cursive writing is the omission of strokes. , a book style with simple structure.
Second, cursive script uses stipples as basic symbols to replace radicals and certain parts of characters. It is the most symbolic calligraphy style. Third, the strokes of cursive script echo each other, making it easy to write quickly and express the writer's emotions.
