(1) Practice regular script first.
To write conjoined characters, we must first practice regular script and the most basic strokes. The reason for practicing regular script is for the strength of the running script written in the future, and then after the running script is formed, many of them are Lian Bi;
Cursive script should also be restricted by the established rules of cursive script. Cursive script has strict rules, so don't trust hand-drawn symbols. You can do whatever you want, and cursive script can't leave the box. This "grid" is the rule. Ge Shouzhi said in "A General Interpretation of Han Xi's Calligraphy": "Cursive writing is inevitable, and the difficulty is that it does not violate the meaning of the pen."
Calligraphers have always pointed out that writing cursive script should have a solid method of opening letters. Zhao Gou's "Mo Han Lu" said: "Many predecessors were able to correct books and then cursive, and both methods were indispensable. Regular, elegant and solemn, with a decent knot. If I wear a sword and stand on the grass of the temple, I will be a phoenix, stimulate the pen, and stand out from the uninhibited without distortion. "
(2) Observe the strokes of conjoined characters
Writing can be written in Lian Bi, not to say that writing is fast, but to change the order of strokes. In order to simplify cursive script, all its radicals are replaced by symbols, which greatly changes the form of cursive stippling, which is very different from regular script and running script. This is the characteristic of cursive script.
The cursive script is a continuous number, and the lines are constantly involved. Sometimes two or three words are connected together, it is difficult to break words, and the form changes greatly. All kinds of courses, densities, returning balls and welcoming balls can be exaggerated to an amazing extent.
The question is not whether it is continuous, but whether it has the meaning of breaking at the turning point in the process of connection. It is important to be able to disconnect like a connection. Go to the bookstore to buy a copybook of running script, observe its stroke order, and then learn to write.
(3) Pursuing the overall effect without losing the center of gravity
Cursive writing is not to be unbalanced, but to pursue the overall effect without losing the focus. Chinese characters are composed of different stippling. Calligraphy is the combination and arrangement of China's stippling, which changes the length and weight of each one and makes the artistic image magnificent and intriguing. The only rule that should be followed is the balance of the center of gravity of the characters.
Whatever can keep the center of gravity in the structure, no matter how unique the idea is and how steep the combination is, is in line with the principle of structural beauty. There is a contradiction between change and balance, but the artistry of structure also stems from this contradiction.
(4) Improve self-cultivation.
Generally speaking, the structure of the opening letter, line and official script should be uniform, symmetrical and coordinated. Using the principle of unity of opposites, the structure can be varied in density, length, width, extension, singularity, pitch and back, and the structure can be long or short, even in all directions. However, the structure of cursive script does not follow the principle of symmetry, but depends on the change of the writer's inner state of mind.
The deconstruction and combination of cursive script comes from the writer's artistic conception, from the inner rhythm and from the emotional catharsis. In a word, art comes from thought, is regulated and influenced by traditional philosophy, ethics, social environment and personal experience, and also needs rich imagination.
