1. Since ancient times, it has been said that "the preface to the collection of kings" is the only way. Because there was no color printing and copying in ancient times, there were only seal cutting and rubbing, so in this case, it was difficult to popularize ink printing posts on a large scale. Scholars have to settle for the second best and look for a model in seal cutting. The Preface to Ji Wang is the best in seal cutting, so in this case, the ancients always praised the Preface to Ji Wang.
2. Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion is known as "the first running script in the world", Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrifice for a Nephew" is known as "the second running script in the world" and Su Shi's "Cold Food Poetry" is known as "the third running script in the world". To practice calligraphy, we should start with the ancient method, and the correct roots can produce positive results. Whether it is a brush or a hard pen, the writing rules are the same. Nowadays, hard-pen calligraphers are also very skilled in writing brush characters.
Semi-cursive/running/calligraphy (China's calligraphy)
Running script is a font between regular script and cursive script. On the one hand, the appearance of running script makes up for the slow writing speed of regular script, on the other hand, it is difficult to identify with cursive script, making running script more flexible and beautiful.
