The strokes of running script are not exactly the same as those of regular script. Some of its strokes can be "brushed", but in the process of "brushing", certain brushwork should be observed. The brushwork of running script omits some brushwork in regular script, such as the stroke after the head of the pen, which can be replaced by a sharp pen, and some strokes can also be replaced by a sharp pen, without the action of returning the pen.
The main strokes in the running script are: centering, unfolding, turning in and out, lifting and pressing, hiding the front, etc. In fact, this is also the basic process of writing a stroke, but the running script also contains the above brushwork.
Intelligence is the main feature of running script. Running script is too rigid, it will become regular script, so it can't be called running script. Where does spirituality come from? One is to learn to use wrist strength. When writing, you should not be too stiff. The solution to the problem of stiffness is mainly on your wrist. Usually, we should form a habit of using our wrists, learn to use them, and we will have skills in doing things.

Such as "flowing clouds", refers to the breath. There must be a connection between two stipplings and two words, so that the breath will live.
Running script calligraphy is not only a kind of calligraphy that people use more every day, but also one that is most easily recognized by the public. But if you can't write the taste and feeling of calligraphy, it is also the easiest to be recognized.
Compared with regular script, running script calligraphy is easier to learn, because some strokes of running script can be brushed aside, omitting the requirements of regular script for strokes.
Understanding running script is developed with the development of regular script and cursive script. It is a writing style between regular script and cursive script. If stippling is biased towards regular script, people call it running script. If it is cursive, it is called cursive. Whatever you call it, it's in the running script sequence.
