Because Lian Bi practices regular script first, writes the basic stroke structure smoothly first, and then advanced regular script, it will be more relaxed and natural.
Cursive script is a running script, which is difficult for beginners to master. It is strongly recommended not to get started. However, starting with regular script does not mean that we just learn regular script at this stage, but we should take into account the study of other scripts, so that calligraphy can be improved and exercised to a certain extent.
Advantages and disadvantages of regular script and running script
Advantages of regular script: dignified font, complete stroke modeling, implicit echo relationship between stippling, steady and slow brushwork, neat and healthy, and neat and even throughout.
Disadvantages of regular script: the strokes of each word need to be standardized and easy to read, so the writing speed is slow, which is not suitable for exams with large questions and tight time.
The advantages of running script are: retaining some features of regular script, the strokes are light, the stippling is smart, and the lines are connected, twisted and omitted, which is more elegant and faster than regular script.
Disadvantages of running script: the stroke order of regular script is relatively fixed, but the stroke order of running script is not the same as that of daily writing, so it takes time to re-understand and master it. Self-created stroke order is easy to cause font distortion and affect writing effect.
