What is a running script?

Question 1: What is a running script? Running script is a font between running script and regular script. Its characteristic is to use Lian Bi properly and save strokes on the premise of keeping the outline of regular script, which is the most practical one. It has been 1700 years since Wang Xizhi wrote Preface to Lanting. The three most famous calligraphers in the history of calligraphy in China and their most influential calligraphy works are all running scripts. Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting is regarded as the best running script in the world. Yan Zhenqing's Manuscript for Sacrificing a Nephew is known as the second running script in the world. Su Dongpo's Cold Food Post is known as the third running book in the world. Until now, celebrity inscriptions and merchant plaques are almost all running scripts. Running script is a kind of calligraphy with the best combination of practicality and artistry and the widest scope of application. The regular script of the parents of the students present may not be as good as yours, but everyone can write running script. There are the most people who write running scripts, but the more you go up, the harder it is. There is a big gap between being able to write and writing well. This gap is difficult to describe, because the concept and standard of reading calligraphy are different. Running script has the characteristics of both regular script and cursive script, but it is by no means that you can write beautiful running script by writing regular script well. As the most practical and independent script, how should we learn it? In fact, there are no strict writing rules for running scripts. Those with many regular script elements and few cursive script elements are called running scripts. A cursive script with less regular script and more cursive script is called cursive script.

Pay attention to the following points when learning running script:

First, we should get rid of the rules of regular script;

When practicing regular script, I told you to hide the brushstroke, there should be changes in lifting and pressing at the turning point, first complete the ticked strokes, pick them out, and so on. These essentials should be tried to get rid of and forget when writing running script. For example, comparing regular script to martial arts routines, then running script is Sanda, and you can't start from scratch for every move and every style, so you should pay attention to fluency. Hard-pen running script advocates smooth writing and standard fonts, which is a good running script.

The second is to copy carefully.

To learn running script well, we must go through special copying training and master its brushwork and writing rules. Find yourself a good copybook when copying. The Danba tablet in Zhao Meng is a good copybook, which can be used to practice calligraphy, or it can be scaled down to practice hard pen calligraphy. Hard-pen calligraphers such as Lu Zhongnan, Ding Yongkang and Wu Yusheng can write copybooks temporarily. Practicing both Chinese calligraphy and hard calligraphy is very beneficial to learning calligraphy and can complement each other. The brush calligraphy is carefully carved, and the hard pen calligraphy is repeatedly pondered, from big to small, and then from small to big, which is very conducive to strengthening the understanding of calligraphy learning.

Third, there are only two ways to read posts and practice calligraphy: temporary posts and reading posts, and reading posts is particularly important in practicing calligraphy. Tian, the plaque writer of our painting and calligraphy class, is my good friend and has similar hobbies. His method of practicing calligraphy is to read posts, rarely stick posts, and his handwriting is flowing in one go. Originally written in official script, but the running script is also very good. Learn calligraphy from regular script as well as official script. It is easy for people who write official script to make a mistake, that is, the running script is often not well written, while Mr. Tian's running script is profound and graceful. According to himself, his method is to read posts.

The fourth is to practice frequently.

Running script has an adaptation stage at the beginning. If you feel embarrassed if you write badly, it doesn't matter. You can practice in your notebook, or you can practice writing with lines for yourself when you are writing a diary. Practice makes perfect. From a word to a paragraph, from a few words to a word, I gradually mastered the rules of running script and gradually formed my own running script style. Be good at absorbing nutrition from many aspects, such as celebrity inscriptions, corporate plaques, school teachers and even classmates. As long as you observe carefully, you can find good words written by others, and when you learn them, they will become your words.

Question 2: What dynasty is the running script? There are two versions of the source for running scripts:

1. According to Zhang Huai's Broken Book, "The calligrapher was created by Liu Desheng of Yingchuan in the later Han Dynasty, that is, the book was small and simple, so it was called a running script." From the statement that "running script" is transformed from "official script"

Secondly, according to Wang Sengqian's Book Title of Ancient Energy, "The book of Zhong You has three bodies: the book of the stone is the best; Second, the articles of association, secretary, primary school teacher; On the third day, I wrote a book, and so did the people who heard it. Hedong Weikaizi adopted Zhang Zhifa's method, participated in Kaifa's method, and even drafted it. The draft is also a book. " From the facts, running script, also known as running script, was originally developed from the signing of line drawing. Those who hear each other mean to believe.

Running script appeared at the same time as eight-part essay, and its form was very close to eight-part essay and later official script. This is equivalent to changing (chapter) cursive script from official script to other branches derived from "regular script". In addition to official script, the "regular script" in Huanling period was followed by "eight-part essay", so people think that running script is another branch of "eight-part essay". In fact, it is the same as other calligraphy styles. It was originally founded as a general mass writer. As long as it is written in other calligraphy, it becomes a running script without official style. It can be seen everywhere in bamboo slips unearthed at the end of Han Dynasty. At the end of Han dynasty, running script was not widely used. It was not until the appearance of Wang Xizhi in Jin Dynasty that it became popular.

Running script into Wang Xizhi's hand perfectly combines practicality and artistry. As a result, the colorful southern calligraphy art has emerged and become the most influential school in the history of calligraphy.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Desheng's running script first appeared in Yingchuan of the later Han Dynasty.

Question 3: When did the running script come into being? 1, the time when running script came into being: Running script is a kind of calligraphy between regular script and cursive script, which appeared in the late Western Han Dynasty and early Eastern Han Dynasty.

After the golden period of Wei and Jin Dynasties and the development period of Tang Dynasty, running script reached a new peak in Song Dynasty and gradually occupied the mainstream position in various calligraphy styles.

2. Prove:

The name of the running script first appeared in Wei Heng's Four Books in the Western Jin Dynasty: Zhong (Yao) and Hu (Zhao) all studied calligraphy.

Zhang Huai's Broken Tang Book records: "The calligrapher is Liu Desheng. That is, the book is small and fake, and the affairs are simple and popular, so it is called a running account. "

Zhang Huai also said in "On Books": "Fu's calligraphy is neither grass nor true, and it is far from square, so Mencius is concerned about the season. The truth is true, and the grass is grass. "

In the Ming Dynasty, Feng Fang had a more vivid description in Ji Shu: "Write without stopping, write without engraving, gently turn and press again, like running water, without interruption, for business will last forever."

3. Introduction:

Running script is developed and originated on the basis of official script, which produces a font between regular script and cursive script to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the fuzziness of cursive script.

"Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence.

Those with more patterns than grass patterns are called "running patterns", and those with more grass patterns are called "running grass".

Question 4: What kind of font is the running script? Running script is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, which produces a font between regular script and cursive script to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the fuzziness of cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it must be scrawled like cursive script, not as straight as regular script. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence. Those with more patterns than grass patterns are called "running patterns", and those with more grass patterns are called "running grass".

Question 5: What is a running script?

Question 6: What do you mean by "go"? Running script is based on regular script, not as straight as regular script, so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, but between regular scripts. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence. Cursive script is called "running script" and cursive script is called "running script", which is a font between cursive script and cursive script to make up for the shortcomings of slow writing speed and illegible cursive script.

Question 9: How many kinds of running scripts are there? The most famous is the 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". Su Shi's Huangzhou Cold Food Sticker is called "the third running script in the world". The famous representative work in the running script is Lushan Temple Monument written by Li Yong in Tang Dynasty, which is fluent and rich. There were Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Meng, Hu Yushu and Li Kang in the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhiming, Dong Qichang and Wang Duo in the Ming Dynasty, and He Wei in the Qing Dynasty. They are all good at running script or cursive script, and many works have been handed down from generation to generation.
