Its structure saves the deformation of the pen, which is simple and convenient. Omit the details of stippling to approximate the shape. Break the balance, deform and exaggerate its potential.
Writing is mainly about turning, supplemented by stippling. Break the uniform speed and highlight the change of rhythm to adapt to emotional expression.
Sun's preface to the book spectrum says: "Grass takes stippling as its emotion and turns it into shape." Good grass cannot be turned into words. "
The primary stage of cursive script is also practical. The so-called "leaning on the horse" stands and takes it, and the so-called "rushing to do grass". The former is limited by environmental conditions, while the latter is forced by time. The requirement of mobility and convenience in real life has contributed to the formation of cursive style.
The randomness of "grass" can't escape the fate of "unpretentious hall" after all, jumping out of the practical category and becoming the convenience for literati to show off their skills in their spare time. Because it broke away from strict rules, it also made it an alternative artistic style. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "jumping" and "drunk" wild grass appeared, which can be said to be completely practical. If it is used in the writing of bamboo slips and calligraphy before and after Wei and Jin Dynasties, it will be out of place and completely different from cursive script.
The writing and creation of cursive script should also grasp its unique laws and principles in terms of techniques. Sun said, "Grass is not real at the same time, but it is almost dedicated". If everything goes too far and the grass is out of control, it is sloppy, it is sick and it is negligent. Therefore, he stressed that "grass without stippling, not Yang Kui shore". Only by focusing on cursive writing can there be no tension of boldness of vision. This is particularly noteworthy. Many friends rebelled against the consolidation of regular script kung fu, which actually weakened the basic kung fu of cursive script.
Cursive script requires high internal and external skills. "If you have no heart and hands, you can forget the rules, you can recite words without losing them, and you can still break the rules." Forgetting the rules of the model is by no means breaking the rules and not working hard. But to have a solid foundation and be proficient in kung fu. "The heart is tireless and the hand is not forgotten. If you use it close, you will be familiar, the rules will be familiar, and naturally you will be tolerant and swim away. " "If you are a little chic and wandering, you will definitely escape."
