Running script has the characteristics of flexibility, flexibility, diversity, vertical before horizontal, vertical before horizontal, etc.
The pen used for running calligraphy depends entirely on the stroke. Generally, the short stroke pen and the long stroke pen are only one-third of the stroke, and the heaviest stroke should not be more than half. In this way, when you write, you can press it and lift it. Using a short pen is often not limited by this. As long as you master it properly, you should "use the pen realistically and jump up, and don't make the pen stick to the paper." If you write big characters in small words, you will be stretched and withered.
one of the most important features of running script is that it wants to be vertical first, and it wants to be vertical first. No matter whether the horizontal painting and vertical painting are hidden or exposed, they can return to the principle of the model. In a work, the horizontal painting is connected with the dew front of the above painting, and the strokes can be rounded if it is vertical first, and the vertical painting should be cut to the right first, and then pressed to turn straight to make the pen full and thick.
development history:
the running script appeared at about the same time as the eighth-division method, and its form is also very close to the eighth-division method and later official books. This is equivalent to changing (chapter) cursive script from official script-deriving other branches from "regular characters". Besides official script, the "regular Chinese characters" in Huan Ling Dynasty were followed by the "eight-division method", so people thought that running script was another branch of the "eight-division method".
In fact, it is also the same as other calligraphy styles, and it is also an ordinary mass writer. As long as it is written with other calligraphy, it will become a running script, and we can see it everywhere in the bamboo slips unearthed in the late Han Dynasty. At the end of Han Dynasty, running script was not widely used. It was not until the appearance of Wang Xizhi in the Jin Dynasty that it became popular.
