Think more: to do anything well, you should think more, and you should also think more when practicing calligraphy. You must master the general rules and use them accurately.
Multi-refining: a hundred refining into steel. Rushing for success is a bad thing. We don't have to insist on how many hours we practice every day. As long as you insist on practicing for dozens of minutes every day, sometimes you may not be able to do it, but you must never have a long interval between "one summer and ten winters". This will affect the effect of practicing calligraphy. In short, we must adhere to the requirements of teaching materials.
Practice repeatedly and write copybooks repeatedly.
Multi-use: applying what you have learned is the ultimate goal of practicing calligraphy. In other words, it is a difficult process to use the learned writing methods when writing letters, taking exams and taking notes. Be patient and gradually correct the incorrect writing habits before. Many students wrote that temporary writing is ok, but they can't leave the copybook.
Well, this is normal, which means that you are not skilled and the temperature hasn't come up yet. Patience is most needed at this time. Keep coming, again and again. When the words in textbooks and copybooks are memorized, you are not afraid to take off the posts.
Running script is developed and originated on the basis of official script, which produces a font between regular script and cursive script to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the fuzziness of cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence. Those with more patterns than grass patterns are called "running patterns", and those with more grass patterns are called "running grass".
Running script is a writing style between regular script and cursive script, which appeared in the late Western Han Dynasty and the early Eastern Han Dynasty. The name of the running script first appeared in Wei Heng's Four Books in the Western Jin Dynasty: Zhong (Yao) and Hu (Zhao) all studied calligraphy under Zhang Huaiguan's Shu Duan in the Tang Dynasty: "The calligrapher is like Liu Desheng. That is, the book is small and fake, and the affairs are simple and popular, so it is called a running account. " Zhang Huaiguan also said in "On Books": "Husband's calligraphy is neither grass nor true, leaving the party and avoiding circles, and caring about seasonal Mencius. Those who are true are called true, and those who bring grass are called grass." In the Ming Dynasty, Feng Fang had a more vivid description in Ji Shu: "Write without stopping, write without engraving, gently turn and press again, like running water, without interruption, for business will last forever." Because of its unique artistic expression and wide practicability, running script has been favored and widely circulated since its birth. After the golden period of Wei and Jin Dynasties and the development period of Tang Dynasty, running script reached a new peak in Song Dynasty and gradually occupied the mainstream position in various calligraphy styles. Throughout the long history of calligraphy, the development of seal script, official script and regular script has ups and downs, while running script is immortal, which has always been a prominent study in calligraphy. Great calligraphers of past dynasties wrote a glorious history of running script development.
With the vigorous development of contemporary calligraphy art, the exploration and innovation of running script creation has set off wave after wave of upsurge, showing a diversified and prosperous scene. In the complicated heat wave of calligraphy, the author makes rational exploration with his own understanding and persistent pursuit of calligraphy, and summarizes some preliminary experiences and insights from years of practice.
In the vast treasure house of calligraphy art, running script is undoubtedly the most beautiful and rich treasure. Among them, Wang Xizhi created Preface to Lanting, which is known as the world's first running script; Yan Zhenqing created the second running script in the world and the manuscript of Mourning My Nephew. Su Shi created the third running script and cold food stickers in the world; Wang Xun founded Yuan Bo Post; Wang Xianzhi created duck head pill postal service, etc. These classic works illuminate the starry sky of calligraphy art, are the artistic essence left over after a long period of elutriation, and are the unique contribution of the Chinese nation to the field of human aesthetics.
The origin of writing
1. According to Zhang Huaiguan's Broken Book, "The calligrapher was created by Liu Desheng of Yingchuan in the later Han Dynasty, that is, the book was small and simple, so it was called a running script." From the statement that "running script" is a font transformed from "official script", it can be seen that Cao Yun said in Qing Dynasty: "It is rare to call a passer-by. After that, it is simple and easy to walk alternately, such as flowing water, in which fibers pass through. This is not true, nor is it grass. This is Li Kai's victory. Be sure to write fine print, which shows elegance, infinite strength and style. Although the characters are not related to the climate, the ink marks are more than fertile. Go slowly and make rules; Look around, don't make a good show. It shouldn't be too late to use it. If it is too late, it will be silly and there will be fewer gods. It should not be too fast. There will be no momentum soon. "
Secondly, according to Wang Sengqian's Book Title of Ancient Energy, "The book of Zhong You has three bodies: the book of the stone is the best; Second, the articles of association, secretary, primary school teacher; On the third day, I wrote a book, which was also heard by people. Hedong Weikaizi adopted Zhang Zhifa's method, participated in Kaifa's method, and even drafted it. The draft is also a book. " From the facts, running script, also known as running script, was originally developed from the signing of line drawing. Those who hear each other mean to believe.
Running script appeared at the same time as eight-part essay, and its form was very close to eight-part essay and later official script. This is equivalent to changing (chapter) cursive script from official script to other branches derived from "regular script". In addition to official script, the "regular script" in Huanling period was followed by "eight-part essay", so people think that running script is another branch of "eight-part essay". In fact, it is the same as other calligraphy styles. It was originally founded as a general mass writer. As long as it is written in other calligraphy, it becomes a running script without official style. It can be seen everywhere in bamboo slips unearthed at the end of Han Dynasty. At the end of Han dynasty, running script was not widely used. It was not until the appearance of Wang Xizhi in Jin Dynasty that it became popular.
Running script into Wang Xizhi's hand perfectly combines practicality and artistry. As a result, the colorful southern calligraphy art has emerged and become the most influential school in the history of calligraphy.
