Why?
Regular script is also called regular script, real script and official script. It gradually evolved from official script, becoming more simplified and more horizontal and vertical. Ci Hai is interpreted as "square, straight and exemplary". This Chinese character font is the commonly used handwritten orthographic Chinese character.
This expression of "horizontal and vertical" is actually a summary of the basic laws of calligraphy. Through the practice of regular script, we can understand the stroke movement and transfer of calligraphy, as well as the stroke order and structure of each word, which is very beneficial to practice running script in the future.
Secondly, the essence of calligraphy is not only the aesthetic feeling (pattern) of individual words such as strokes and structures, but also the understanding of the beauty of composition will gradually deepen.
Composition is an important part of the formal beauty of calligraphy. Stippling is the beauty of lines, frame structure is the beauty of local composition, and composition is the beauty of overall composition. The laws of Zhao Ti's regular script can be studied and grasped from two aspects.
First, uniformity. The overall sense of regular script, first of all, is neat. The arrangement of words and lines is equidistant, giving people a steady and solemn visual effect. This form is most suitable for regular script in a strict sense. If the shapes with different knot widths and lengths change locally, there will be no disharmony or monotony in regular script that is uniform but not stiff.
Second, diversity and unity. The biggest feature of Zhao Ti's regular script is that it contains elements of running script, and its brushwork is changeable, taking characters as shapes, without deliberate arrangement, and it has a very harmonious and unified relationship in diversity and changeability. It gives people the feeling that there is movement in silence and affection in words. A calligraphy work is first infected with its overall effect, which is composed of countless parts. Therefore, when arranging the composition, we should not ignore the details of each word, such as the shape, length, change, and sense of rhythm, which require careful consideration and strict design. Only after a long period of unremitting tempering can we handle the composition freely, presenting a design beauty that seems to have no design, and reaching a higher realm of calligraphy art.
The rules of regular script are not complicated, and the main forms are nave, couplets, banners, horizontal accounts and sectors. In the arrangement of regular script, the word spacing and line spacing are basically the same, but some line spacing is greater than the word spacing; They are all written vertically from right to left, and those with fewer words are still written from right to left; Modern Chinese is written horizontally from left to right. This method can also be used under special needs, but it is better to write vertically from right to left.
These are all things that must be paid full attention to when writing. Only in this way can it be regarded as a written word and a calligraphy work, otherwise it is just a simple writing.
Some people misunderstand the running script and think that it is nothing more than swearing, which is a one-sided understanding.
Running script is a general term, which is divided into running script and running script. It is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, a font between regular script and cursive script, in order to make up for the shortcomings of slow writing speed and illegible cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence. Those with more patterns than grass patterns are called "running patterns", and those with more grass patterns are called "running grass". Running script has high practicability and artistry, while regular script is a kind of character symbol, which is relatively insufficient in practicality and artistry. Comparatively speaking, cursive script is highly artistic, but its practicality is relatively insufficient.
Therefore, regular script is its foundation.
Due to the one-sided understanding of running script, some people are too casual and have no rules, which makes running script a "heavenly book". But if you have the foundation of regular script, then practicing running script can get twice the result with half the effort.
As for the related calligraphy textbooks, there will be many illustrated tutorials on Baidu, which can be selected according to your own preferences and pen characteristics.
