Running script is characterized by colorful structure, changeable brushwork, lively spirit and convenient writing.
1, changeable brushwork
The writing style of running script is similar to regular script, but the writing rhythm of running script is faster than regular script. Writing, closing and turning are more convenient and flexible, and each has its own advantages. Its main performance is the combination of hiding and dew, and the exposed front is mostly. Such as "column"; Fiona Fang has both round pens, such as "Shang"; The lifting pressure is obvious and the rhythm is strong.
2. Lively and energetic
Write regular script, one stroke at a time, with clear beginning and end. The rhythm of writing running script is faster than that of regular script, and it is often natural to bring out some connections with hooks, or to connect the front and back strokes with gestures. However, due to the echo and traction of this hook or tie, the connection between strokes and characters is strengthened, which is more vivid and full of spirit.
3, writing is convenient
Regular script strokes are meticulous, horizontal and vertical. For the convenience and beauty of writing, some strokes or parts of regular script can be simplified or changed. Or replace horizontal with dots, vertical with dots, left with dots, and pressed with dots.
Even stroke by stroke, leaving out individual radicals or strokes. Some words also changed the writing order of the original regular script. Of course, these changes were summed up by ancient calligraphers through study and practical experience. There are certain rules for saving and changing, so don't do it at will.
4. Knots are colored.
The diversity of structure is another feature of running script. Neat regular script is also the most taboo, which is "up and down, flush before and after, the same size", not to mention free and lively running script. Running script often breaks the rigor of horizontal, vertical, correct and stable regular script.
Balance of structural changes and unity of font changes. Even if you write the same word, try to change it, and don't stay the same. For example, the "One of Twenty Poems" in Preface to Lanting Collection, big or small, side or right, back or down, long or short, or open letters or lines or grass, varies a lot.
Main points of running script writing:
1, to master the basic brushwork of running script. The brushwork is the main factor that constitutes the writing. To learn running script, we should first start with simple brushwork, and make more efforts in various brushwork such as lifting, pressing, lifting, falling, closing and turning, master the essentials and lay a solid foundation.
2. Be familiar with the writing rules of stippling. There are many running scripts and stippling, but there are also rules to follow. Memorize and practice as much as possible to provide the ability for future writing.
3. Read more books and draw more pictures. Reading more is to read more posts and see how the ancients wrote them, including stippling, knot, glyph and so on, to deepen the concept of memory. More painting means that in the beginner stage, don't rush to write, but draw on the copybook with your fingers and develop the habit of writing.
