how to write the strokes of running script

To learn running script, we should start with stippling, and the basic stippling of Chinese characters includes: horizontal, vertical, left, left and right. From the perspective of calligraphy learning, we can learn seven kinds of strokes: horizontal, vertical, left-handed, right-handed, hooked, dotted and folded. When writing, any stippling includes pen starting, pen running and pen closing, and these seven kinds of stippling are no exception. The following describes the specific writing one by one.

1. horizontal: horizontal is called in the eight-character method? Le? Le is an image description of strength. When writing, mainly use thumb, forefinger and middle finger to the right? Le pen? The penholder leans to the left in the stroke. Horizontal painting includes two kinds: the exposed front and the hidden front.

Open the front and stroke horizontally: the pen tip enters the paper to the right and strokes lightly, so that the pen tip can be adjusted to the right trend quickly. At the same time, the pen stroke is repeated, which is slightly heavier than the first stroke. Then, the pen stroke is slowed down to the right center, and the stroke direction is slightly higher to the right. Finally, the pen stroke is lightly stroke downward to the right, and then the pen stroke is returned to the horizontal center with the pen tip to the left.

Zang Feng starts writing: If you want to move from left to right, the pen tip goes against the trend and enters the paper to the right, then lightly strokes the pen with the pen tip to the right, then slightly lifts the pen tip and adjusts it to a pen tip with the feeling of right trend, and strokes in the same place again, with a slightly heavier force than the first stroke, and then slowly strokes to the right. The method of collecting the pen is the same as that of Lu Feng's horizontal stroke. After proficiency, Zang Feng began to write, which can sometimes be handled as? Yizang? That is, when the pen tip falls off the paper, it has the intention of spinning the pen tip left and right at a faster speed.

The exposed front and the hidden front are only different in starting strokes, and the middle stroke and closing strokes are the same. The above is the basic method of horizontal painting. In actual creation, it should be flexible and changeable according to the font structure, such as the change of length, thickness, horizontal angle, the change of momentum, the change of the weight of starting and receiving the pen, etc. Sometimes, the method of calligraphy with seal and official style can be introduced to achieve variety. On the handling of variability, it is based on mastering the basic writing skills and mastering it flexibly.

2. vertical: is vertical called in the eight-character method? Nu? , mainly with the index finger and middle finger, tick down the pen, and the thumb slowly bends outward at the same time without being stiff. There are two ways to write vertical, one is hanging vertical, and the other is hanging vertical. They start with the same pen, but close it differently.

vertical hanging: the pen tip sticks to the paper against the trend to the right, and then gently strokes the pen down to the right, and then lifts the pen back to the front of the paper, so that the pen tip naturally gathers when lifting the pen, which means that the pen tip is adjusted smoothly. Then, the second stroke is slightly heavier than the first stroke, and then the pen is carried down with the trend, and it is slowly adjusted to the center in the downward direction, and the attention is paid to the pen tip until it is collected.

hanging needle vertical: the pen start and stroke of hanging needle vertical are the same as the vertical stroke of hanging needle vertical, except that the stroke of the center and the downward pressure of the pen tip are slightly increased when the pen is about to be collected, and then the pen tip is slowly lifted to collect the pen. When the pen is collected, the pen tip should not be disorderly, and the speed should not suddenly increase. It should naturally gather with the pen tip and finally emerge. It should be emphasized that the downward stroke of the hanging needle is not getting weaker and weaker, but it is aggravated when the pen is quickly closed, and then the pen is naturally raised to make the lower third of the vertical part feel like a fish's belly, so that the hanging needle looks round, full and powerful instead of thin and sharp, like an oxtail.

3. Skimming: Skimming is mainly to use the index finger and middle finger to move the pen to the lower left, so as to keep the thumb joint bent outward, but not stiff. There are two kinds of pen-skimming, one is hidden front and the other is exposed front. Among them, the exposure of the front is generally adhered to other stippling, so there is no need to hide the front. Skimming changes greatly, depending on the direction, length and position, such as horizontal skimming, oblique skimming, vertical skimming, long skimming and short skimming.

Long-front pen strokes: After the pen strokes go up or down to the right, the pen strokes lightly to the right, and then the pen strokes are folded back, and the pen strokes for the second time are slightly heavier than those for the first time, and then the pen strokes are adjusted to slow down the center and lower left. When closing the pen, the pen strokes can be slightly increased, so that the side strokes can be thrown off with the trend, and the speed should not be too fast. If it is short and horizontal, such as? And? If the prefix is left, the Tibetan front will be left to the right quickly after the pen is written, and the speed is relatively fast, which is spiritual.

when you start writing, put it on other stipplings, and adjust the stroke of the pen tip center. The method of collecting the pen is the same as that of the pen tip above, such as? Wood? Word apostrophe

4. si: the beginning of si can also be divided into hiding and revealing. Also, according to its different positions, its shape also has anti-pressing or point pressing.

Zang Feng starts to press the pen: after the pen tip enters the paper vertically, slightly stroke the pen to the left, lift the pen to the top, and the pen tip will not leave the paper, then stroke the pen to the left, and then adjust the pen tip to the right, stroke the pen to the center, and then press the pen gradually, and adjust the pen tip to a side stroke, then slightly lift the pen, and gradually stroke the pen to the right, and then press it out. Such as:? History? 、? More? Word si.

Lu Feng's pen-pressing: Lu Feng's pen-pressing is often stuck with other stippling, so it is not necessary to consider whether its pen-pressing hides the front. When you start writing, you can put the pen tip in the stippling that adheres to it, and then you can do it. The pen collection is the same as the pen collection.

Such as:? Owe? 、? No? 、? Wu? Word si.

point pressing: point pressing becomes a point shape. After Lu Feng starts to write, he writes down to the right, and then returns to the front to collect the pen. Such as:? And? The dot in the word is pressed.

5. Hook: There are many changes. According to the kicking direction, the common ones are: left kicking hook, right kicking hook and? Ge? Word hook. These three kinds of hooks are only different in direction, and their pen-carrying methods are basically the same.

Such as: wood, sentence hook.

Such as: good word hook.

tick mark: when carrying the pen to the right and down to the kick mark, change the direction of the pen to the right and lightly stroke the pen at the same time, then lift the pen, adjust the pen stroke, and naturally go up and out. Such as: into a word hook.

6. Point: In the writing method of point, although the point is small, it changes the most, and its orientation and shape are different according to its position. It is also very important in stippling, such as arranging flowers on a beautiful woman's head. If it is inserted well, it will add color, but if it is not inserted well, it will be inferior. So we can't underestimate it. In addition, there are also different writing methods and shapes in various styles of regular script. Therefore, it is easier to understand the specific learning of points by combining them with different words. But no matter what shape and direction, the principle of pen movement is the same, that is, there are both. Start, write and collect the pen? The three movements are completed, although the point is very small, but the brushwork of these three strokes is necessary, so that the strength and shape can be achieved. The following will explain the basic points respectively.

lateral point: left point: that is, the point that falls to the left. After starting the pen and putting it into the paper in the upper left direction, gently stroke the pen, immediately stroke downward, stroke downward, then stroke downward to the right (change the stroke), and then stroke upward to collect the pen. Right point: that is, the point that falls to the right, which is different from the left point in direction. When starting a pen, Lu Feng enters the paper and lightly strokes to the right, then strokes down to the left, then lightly strokes down to the right, and quickly closes the pen to the upper right. There is also a point on the left, that is, the pen does not return to the front, and it can be closed naturally when the pen is closed, such as two points on the head of Zeng.

vertical point: vertical point can be regarded as the shortening of vertical painting, and sometimes the back front can? Intention? Just do it. Start the pen, enter the paper upward, lightly stroke the pen to the right, then stroke downward, and then pick up the pen and quickly return to the front to collect the pen.

lifting point: lifting point mainly refers to the bottom point of three points or two points. After Lu Feng started to write to the lower left, he immediately struck down a little to the left, slightly raised the pen, struck down to the right, adjusted the pen tip at the same time, and quickly kicked out to the upper right, which echoed the strokes on the right.

7. Fold: There are upper right fold and lower left fold. At the fold, according to the different strokes, there are also many kinds of writing methods, such as square fold, round fold and broken fold.

Right-hand fold: When the center reaches the fold, he raises the pen to the right, and the front does not leave the paper, then he strokes to the right, then turns the pen slightly to the left, and then strokes down. If the pen is broken, start another pen when the pen line reaches the folding point. After the pen is started, adjust the pen front to write down, and the two paintings are combined horizontally and vertically. Round folding is more common in Yan-style characters, which is derived from the folding method of seal script in terms of pen meaning, that is, when the pen reaches the folding point, you can lift the pen and press it against the paper, then gently stroke the pen with the trend, so as not to expose the front, and then adjust the pen front downward.

Lower left fold: Generally, lower left fold means starting a new pen, and connecting the horizontal painting with the vertical painting. But there is also a pen written. For example, the word "Hungarian" and "ugly" are folded at the bottom left. The writing method is that when the center goes down to the pen folding place, he raises the pen slightly to the right, then makes a pen next to the right, then raises the pen again, and adjusts the pen front to the right. Of course, these two words can also be written in broken pen and folded pen, that is, when going down to the folded pen, start another pen to write horizontally, and the writing method is the same as that of horizontal painting, so that vertical painting and horizontal painting can overlap.

The above is the basic writing method of regular script stippling, so pay attention to flexible use in learning. For example, depending on whether to write: block letters, middle letters or small letters, and the ink content of paper and pens, the strokes can be adjusted appropriately. Sometimes, when the words are small, especially in middle letters and small letters, some pen movements can be understood, and the expected effect can also be written. The pen-carrying method is just a method, so you should learn and use it from birth to maturity. If you can explore your own set of methods and write with your own characteristics on the basis of proficiency.
