Jue’s cursive writing style: those that are more indulgent and flowing, closer to cursive script, are called Xing Cao; those that are more upright and steady, closer to regular script are called Xingkai script.
Expand Knowledge of Running Script
Running script is a general term for calligraphy, which is divided into two types: running regular script and running cursive script. It was developed on the basis of regular script and is a font between regular script and cursive script. It was created to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the difficulty of identifying cursive script.
Xing means "walking", so it is not as sloppy as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. In essence, it is the cursiveization of regular script or the regularization of cursive script. Those with more regular script than cursive script are called "Xing Kai", and those with more cursive script than regular script are called "Xing Cao".
Running script has high practicality and artistry, while regular script is a text symbol, which is highly practical and requires skill. In comparison, cursive script has high artistic quality, but its practicality is relatively insufficient.
The origin of calligraphy
1. According to Zhang Huaiguan's "Shu Duan": "The calligrapher was created by Liu Desheng of Yingchuan in the later Han Dynasty. It was a minor error in the original script, so it was simple. It’s called running script.” From this we know that “running script” is a font transformed from “official script”. Cao Yun of the Qing and Song dynasties: "The so-called traveler is a small overview of the real book.
The simple ones are walking alternately, like clouds and flowing water, and the fibers of the grains are coming out between them. They are neither true nor grass. They escape from the square and round. This is the skill of Kaili. The characters must be small and sparse, with an elegant tone, old and strong muscles, and a loose character. Although the characters are not connected with the weather, the ink should be slow and orderly; look left and right, and do not behave obediently. Program. It should not be used too late, otherwise it will be dull and lack of energy; it should not be used too fast, otherwise it will be awkward and lose momentum."
2. According to Wang Sengqian's "Able to Write Names of People in Ancient Times": "Zhong Yao's books have three types: the first is the book inscribed on stone, which is the most wonderful; the second is the charter book, which is passed down to secretaries and teaches in elementary schools. The third one is called Xingwen Shu. Hedong Wei Kaizi adopted Zhang Zhi's method and used Kaifa's method to make a draft. "From this we know that Xingwen's script is also called Xingwen's script. It originally developed from the signing of paintings by painting dealers. Those who heard from each other refer to writings, letters, letters and the like.
