Regular script is a combination of regular script and running script, which belongs to the calligraphy style of Jin, Tang and Six Dynasties. It is characterized by following the basic structure of regular script and adding the unrestrained freedom of cursive script, forming a unique style. The following is a detailed explanation:
1, the integration of seal script and regular script
The running script form of the festival is gradually formed under the advocacy of Huang Tingjian, which absorbs the advantages of seal script, official script and regular script and has a strong academic atmosphere. Therefore, its basic structure is very standardized, and it often takes hard work to write neat fonts.
2, the unrestrained freedom of grass.
The calligraphy style of Xiexingshu adheres to the principle of "seeing thinness in fullness and seeing fullness in thinness", that is, the characters should have both majestic realm and ethereal beauty. Therefore, when writing, it is often necessary to use cursive script, so as to maintain the aesthetic characteristics of curved and straight strokes in front of the paper, and at the same time, the strokes are smooth and powerful.
3, the performance of personal characteristics
Jie Jie's running script pays attention to both ancient and modern beauty in style and vivid and natural expression, so it is very flexible in the expression of calligrapher's personal characteristics, and often adopts novel structure, beautiful posture and gorgeous techniques, which not only maintains the traditional style, but also is full of the breath of modern art.
4. Comparison with other calligraphy
Although Xiexing calligraphy belongs to a special style, it has unique advantages compared with other styles. Compared with regular script, festival running script is more free and easy; Compared with cursive script, cursive script has more rigorous structure, smoother lines and less obvious grass feeling.
In a word, regular script has an indescribable aesthetic feeling, and its unique structure and characteristics endow this kind of calligraphy with richer connotations. If you want to learn and master it, you need more exercise and practice, gradually understand its profound meaning and create your own unique style.
Extended data:
Running script is the rapid writing of regular script, which is said to have started at the end of Han Dynasty. It is not so neat as regular script, nor so scrawled as cursive script. The most famous masterpiece is Preface to Lanting written by Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Predecessors described it as "a dragon descending from heaven, a tiger lying in a phoenix pavilion" and praised it as "the best running script in the world". Tang Yan Zhenqing's book "Sacrificing a Nephew" is very bold, and the ancients rated it as "the second running script in the world".
