The ways to make your cursive writing look good are as follows:
1. Simplify the multi-stroke structure of regular script into the simplest few-stroke structure. Regular script requires seven strokes to complete, while cursive script is reduced to one stroke. The shape and structure of the characters have completely changed their original appearance due to cursive treatment. Convert a multi-stroke symbol into a few-stroke symbol.
2. The similar strokes repeated in regular script will be lost.
3. Although the regular script strokes are not reduced, the joint deformation between the strokes is used to facilitate the movement of the strokes.
4. It is necessary to integrate various styles but also break away from the shackles of each style without leaving any traces. As the calligraphy theorist Liu Xizai said, "The strokes of cursive script must not be removed from other calligraphy, and The meaning of his calligraphy is different from that of cursive writing."
5. Only with extremely high brush skills can one be able to move freely and easily, but this can easily be turned into a juggler by someone with the same calligraphy skills.
6. Memorize the rules of tying words. Do not make up random fonts of your own. As the saying goes, cursive writing is out of order and even gods cannot recognize it. If you write some words just a little bit wrong, it will be completely wrong. Another word, it is easy to make a joke.
Cursive script
Cursive script is the simplest form of Chinese writing. The origin of cursive script, like running script or other calligraphy styles, cannot be pinpointed when it began. Historical records say: "During the Warring States Period, King Huai of Chu asked Qu Yuan to write a constitutional decree. The draft was not yet submitted. Shangguan saw it and wanted to seize it, so the ancestor of cursive script originated from.
Cursive script is the name of the font, also known as "Gao" "Shuowen Jiezi·Xu" in Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi·Xu" of the Eastern Han Dynasty states that "cursive scripts flourished in the Han Dynasty".
The popular handwriting style in the early Han Dynasty was cursive official script, which gradually developed into "Zhangcao". By the end of the Han Dynasty, it is said that Zhang Zhi took off the Zhangcao, which contained the strokes and disjointed characters of the official script, and became radicals. In the guise of "jincao" with continuous and convenient strokes, it was later called cursive script.
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xu and Huaisu wrote "jincao" even more. Indulging in weirdness and writing like dragons and snakes are called "crazy grass" to distinguish them from "modern grass".
