1. The pen has arrived. Running script must be "pen to pen". The so-called pen transport means that in the process of running a stroke, the pen tip should be in place, and the pen tip cannot be picked out or folded at the end of the stroke. This is the key to writing. The kung fu of this pen comes from the basic skills of regular script writing, otherwise it will not be delivered in place and the quality of strokes is poor.
2. Think horizontal first, think vertical first. Whether horizontal painting and vertical painting are hidden or exposed, they all conform to the principle of model opening. In horizontal painting, it is especially important to note that there should not be too many sharp pens to prevent the thin strokes from being cut off and make the pens full and thick. Cut to the right before putting pen to paper in vertical painting, and then press cut to prevent it from being too sharp.
3. The binding line is not thick. Jiang Kui put forward in "Continued Book Spectrum": "All paintings are stippling, no stippling, occasional paintings, and their pens are light." If there is a thick entanglement between paintings and words, there will be suspicion of usurping the role of master and entanglement.
4. Turn the front end like a tendon. Turning the front is to turn the pen with your wrist, so that the front ring becomes a line without edges and corners, that is, "turning the circle". For example, the main pen or hook pen that writes the words "Ye", "Wei", "De" and "Er" should achieve the same effect as the tendon circle and have a three-dimensional sense.
5. Vertical pen display. In other words, we should boldly absorb ink and let it flow freely, so as to receive the artistic effect of unrestrained momentum and ingenious brushwork. In ancient times, Zhu Yunming, Xu Wei, Chen Daofu, Wang Duo, Fu Shan and Zhang Ruitu all made good use of this method.
6. The previous changes. Beginning means that the last stroke of the previous word is followed by the first stroke of the next word. Pay attention to the changes of the lead, and try not to appear in the same category of an article. In running script, Feng can change his posture, resulting in the increase and change of rhythm.
7. Pick up the pen gently. In the structure of words, some strokes are connected left and right, some are connected up and down, and some are crossed, all of which have a certain "seam" position and writing method. It is also called "pointed joint" because it is not suitable to apply heavy ink to joints, and it is often connected with a light pointed pen, so the pen should be light and dexterous.
