The word "Hangjuan" originated from the Han Dynasty, and originally referred to long-volume documents written in running script. Many ancient documents were preserved in this way at that time. For example, Historical Records, Hanshu and other books are written with lines. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, running script gradually became an important art form of calligraphy, and the running script culture also developed.
Scroll culture is widely used. In addition to preserving documents and writing calligraphy works, scrolls also play an important role in painting, calligraphy, poetry and literature. For example, Zhang Xu's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, Su Shi's Fu on the Red Wall and Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion are all written in the form of scrolls, which have become important heritages in China's cultural treasure house.
Scroll culture also has a far-reaching influence on the development of calligraphy art in China. Running script is an important form of China's calligraphy, and running script is an important carrier of running script. The long scroll writing method makes the calligraphy works fully show the overall structure and charm, and at the same time, it can flow and unfold in space, which has more abundant visual effects. Therefore, running script has played an important role in the development of China's calligraphy art.
In a word, running script is a way of writing in the ancient culture of China, and it is a form of calligraphy in which lines are written on long rolls of paper. Scroll culture has a wide range of applications and far-reaching influence in the history of China, and it is an indispensable part of China calligraphy culture.
