Why do you need to practice regular script first, and then practice running script?

Practice regular script first, regular script is the basis of words. Running script should also be called "running script". As the name implies, running script is evolved from running script.

Practicing regular script naturally becomes a running script.

Regular script pays attention to inter-frame structure and strokes.

Practicing regular script is the framework of practicing Chinese characters first, just as you have to write one by one to write your own style, so does calligraphy. Writing regular script is to understand the line structure of Chinese characters. It can be said that good regular script is the basis of running script.

But running script and regular script are also different. We should pay attention to the following points:

1 Pay attention to the connection between strokes. A striking feature of running script is that strokes are connected by thin lines, which is called "hairspring". When writing hairspring, the bottom of the pen should be light and natural, and the nib should have a certain beating.

2 Pay attention to the "metonymy" of strokes. There are many metonymy phenomena in running script, the most typical of which is to replace short horizontal with dots and left and right with dots.

Don't rush for success, practice regular script first. Everything comes naturally.
