1. Omit strokes
In order to make writing simple, running script deliberately simplifies some parts or strokes of regular script, or omits strokes or merges lines without losing the original font and meaning. Like what? Seduction? Next to the word, used to be seven, now reduced to two; ? However? The word was originally 12, but now it has been written once, at most two times; ? Is it far? Next to the word, it used to be one point, three twists and turns plus a flat pen, which was simplified to vertical bending and one stroke. Although the running script omits strokes and merges lines, these strokes and lines are found in all parts of the word; But radicals occupy a certain proportion, because radicals are the main components of radical words. Like what? Seduction? 、? However? ,? Is it far? .
2. Pen gesture flow
(1) added hooks and straps:
Writing in regular script requires a stroke and a picture, but running script does not. It's a combination of stippling and writing. What is it called? Alternate fashion? Therefore, when writing running script, it is natural to appear or add hooks brought out by pens between snacks. The so-called hook-up is to draw a short hook on the dotted line without a hook, such as? Green? Equivalent words. The so-called tie line is a thin tie line drawn along the stroke direction between the front and rear or unconnected points, such as? Send 4? Think? Equivalent words. The tick marks between the strokes of the running script seem to be smooth and harmonious, and the posture is natural, giving people a feeling of vigor and vitality.
However, hooks and straps should not be used too much or too weakly. They are used too much. There are hooks and ties everywhere. They look dirty and unsightly. Too weak, the hook foot looks like sarcoma, the filament looks like cotton thread, and it looks very weak, lacking the bodybuilding of iron-painted silver hook.
(2) Replace square folding with circle:
The turning point of regular script is mostly square, while the turning point of running script is mostly cursive, so running script appears smooth. It should be noted, however, that the running script is full of twists and turns, so when writing, it is still necessary to keep the pen pressed, otherwise it will be fruity and weak, lacking Fiona Fang and having both, with a circle in the square and a round charm in the circle, such as? Sea? 、? Fall? 、? Healthy? Equivalent words.
(3) Change the writing order:
Primary school teachers emphasize the importance of stroke order, which is really important, especially regular script. However, in running script, sometimes the writing order of regular script is consciously changed, and the writing order of cursive script is adopted for the convenience of writing and the diversity of modeling, such as? what's up Words.
Generally speaking, the writing method of running script is first up and then down, first left and then right, first inside and then outside, which is enough, but sometimes the other way around, but it is also interesting, for example? Wind? Country? Words, etc However, it must also be noted that changing the writing order must be guided by the situation and conform to the specifications of cursive script. And it should not be too much. Once in a while, you can get interested. If it is abused and bored, it will fail.
(4) Flexible pen:
Running script is more flexible than regular script, and the same stippling can be written in this way and that way, without constraints. Like what? What else? The floating goose hook of the word is usually written back to the front. But if the hook end turns from top to bottom, it is also ok. Another example is the wooden character next to it. Generally, after painting is finished, gestures always bring out the left, but it makes sense to pick a pen from the right and then write the left along the strokes. Like what? Yang? Words.
(5) Pen exposed front paper:
Regular script, whether it is point, horizontal or left and right, emphasizes positive reduction. In the running script, there are many exposed papers, because the exposed papers are relatively simple and convenient to write, natural and smooth, such as? Healthy? The left vertical of the word? Red? A sketch of the words and? Work? The pen of horizontal painting, River? The edges of the word three-point water are all exposed paper. But it must be noted that although the above words are all exposed papers, they are not written casually along the front, but they are still needed. Against the front? , that's it? Against the front? Is to ask for volley, is to grab the front. If you don't understand this, you will make weak and thin mistakes.
Exposing the front is a dead letter, demanding quick momentum. The brushwork of the words you write will be very lively, the Tibetan front will take advantage of the situation slowly, and the brushwork will be subtle and dignified. These two writing methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they can be combined with each other when writing, each in its proper place and complement each other. Generally speaking, the pen at the beginning of a running script is often an exposed pen, and the pens at the back are mostly hidden pens.
(6) Replace other strokes with dots:
In order to write simply and quickly, running scripts are often used. Point? Instead of other strokes, short? Point? Instead of other long and big strokes, it can change the structural form of words and make their shapes more unique. As a general? Jing? ,? Shadow? In the world? It is more neat to rewrite the word small into three points, and the font has changed, which is interesting. Another example? Big? Words, written as side points with a pen, are expressed, so that the writing is concise and smooth, and the shape is lean and simple, with a unique flavor.
(7) changeable posture:
Running script is a part-time font between regular script and cursive script. Widely used and expressive. There are often several ways to write a word, and its posture is changeable and different, such as? what's up There are four ways to write Chinese characters, four postures, and different strokes at the end, which are full of interest. Another example? English, autumn, grass, drinks and flowers? Both of them are cursive prefixes, but they are written in different ways, which are lively and intriguing. If the same word or words with the same prefix and suffix are written without change and make people look boring, it is not calligraphy. Changing posture is one of the strengths of running script, which is incomparable with regular script and cursive script. What is the pattern of changeable posture in Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting? What? There are as many as 20 words, but they are written in different ways, and none of them are the same, which changes greatly. Mi Fei (Mi Nanguan), a famous calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, once lamented this. At most, there is nothing like this word. . It can be seen that running script is interesting.
