The method of writing running script:
1, size and length
First of all, we must grasp the size of the font as a whole. The ancients said that writing is most afraid of "words like symbols", and in word formation, it is to avoid the unity of word size, so there is no artistry at all. Mastering this law will enable us to grasp the shape of a single word as a whole when copying and creating. This is the easiest mistake for beginners to make in copying.
2. Flat edge
For composition, the running script can be vertical or horizontal, but the center of gravity of the words should remain stable. Different styles of running scripts have different degrees. For example, Mi Fei's running script is higher than Zhao Ziang's.
Step 3 save the link
Another big difference between running script and regular script is that the strokes in running script echo each other, which strengthens the directionality of stippling and makes the expression of qi stronger, which is reflected in the simplification of strokes. These connected strokes form different interesting combinations and contrast.
4, the density is uniform and clear
Regular script is generally well-proportioned, the cloth surface of running script is much richer than regular script, and the cloth surface of running script is even, clear and dense. This is also easy for beginners to make mistakes, and it is easy to write out words that are not neat and have no meaning at all.
5. Open and close the back.
The so-called openness means that the strokes of words have a tendency to expand outward; The so-called combination means that the strokes of Chinese characters tend to gather inward. Opening and closing is also called "back-to-back", with the back open and the back closed. Migong is tight, and the knot is mainly open (back), while Yan Xingshu is tight outside and loose inside, and the knot is mainly closed (direction). In fact, every calligrapher's handwriting is open and closed, or open and closed, so it is vivid.
6. Give and take.
Only when there is concession within the characters can the strokes be interspersed and echoed and unified. It should be pointed out that running script is more important than regular script. Regular script also keeps the strokes in characters from overlapping, while running script sometimes has several strokes connected and overlapping.
7. Uneven level
In order to avoid the uniformity of the characters, the parts of the characters are staggered moderately, but the center of gravity is stable, vivid and interesting, from which we can also appreciate the calligrapher's creative performance. If some words are misplaced up and down, some words are misplaced left and right.
8, where the same will change.
The same stippling in a word needs different treatment; The same part of a word should also be changed; When words with the same radicals are together, the radicals should also be changed; In a work, the same word appears many times and needs to be changed.
