The beautiful writing methods of calligraphy and running script are as follows:
1. Add hooks and pull threads.
Regular script writing requires one stroke at a time, and the work is neat and tidy. This is not the case in running script. It is written by connecting the dots and drawings together, which is the so-called "popularity between phases". Therefore, when writing in running script, it will naturally appear or increase between the snacks. Because of the hook pick and pull wire brought out by the pen. The so-called hook pick is to write short hooks on the stipples that originally had no hook pick when writing, such as "Mao" and other characters.
The so-called pulling thread is to bring out thin pulling threads along the strokes between the front and back or upper and lower strokes that are not connected, such as "fa" and "thinking". There are hooks and threads between the stipples of running script, which make the brushstrokes flow smoothly and harmoniously, and the mood is natural, giving people a feeling of vitality.
2. Use circle instead of square fold.
The turning points in regular script are mostly square folds, while the turning points in running script are often written in cursive round turns, so the writing style of running script appears smooth. However, it should be noted that the roundness of cursive script implies folding meaning. You still need to hold the pen and press it while writing, otherwise it will be round and weak, lacking the charm of having both square and round, round within the square, and square within the circle, such as "hou" , "fall", "sheng" and other words.
3. Change the order of writing strokes.
Primary school teachers emphasize that it is really important to pay attention to the order of strokes when writing, especially regular script. However, in running script, sometimes the writing stroke order of regular script is consciously changed and the stroke order of cursive script is adopted. The purpose is to facilitate writing and also to create variety in the shape, such as the word "gan".
Xingshu is a part-time writing font between regular script and cursive script. It has a wide range of uses and is rich in expressive power. There are often several ways to write a word, with various body shapes and postures. They are all different. For example, there are four ways to write the word "Shi", four postures, and the closing strokes at the end are different. Some are closed and some are open, which is both craftsmanship and cursive, full of interest.
