Running script is the rapid writing of regular script, which is said to have started at the end of Han Dynasty. It is not so neat as regular script, nor so scrawled as cursive script. Running scripts can be divided into running scripts and running scripts.
The most famous masterpiece is Preface to Lanting written by Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Predecessors described it as "a dragon descending from heaven, a tiger lying in a phoenix pavilion" and praised it as "the best running script in the world". Tang Yan Zhenqing's book "Sacrificing a Nephew" is very bold, and the ancients rated it as "the second running script in the world".
Advantages of running scripts
Zhang Huai's "Book Theory" said: "The running script is not grass or true, and it is between Ji and Meng; The true person is called the true line, and the person with grass is called the grass line. " Xuanhe Pu Shu also said: "It is true that sweeping the floor and obeying the law is a matter of detention, and grass is a matter of release. In between, the words are well written. "
Running script is neither as complicated as regular script, nor as wild as cursive script. Because of its advantages of "eclecticism, easy recognition and easy writing", it is used in all kinds of letters and letters, and it has also been studied in ancient and modern times, paying special attention to this style.
For a long time, it has become the most popular font in society and the most practical font in daily life. In terms of application value, it is the largest. Therefore, it can be passed down from the later Han Dynasty to the present, enduring for a long time.
