Speed ??is more important than rhythm. It can change the appearance and charm of calligraphy works, and even bring about qualitative changes. Writing speed has very rich connotations. I once said in the group, what is the beauty of calligraphy? Some are fast and some are slow, some are real and some are empty, some are upright and some are sloppy, some are round and some are square, some are graceful and some are clumsy, this is the wonderful work of calligraphy.
Taking Baoyong as an example, the writing speed of hard-pen regular script is 10 words per minute, with an average of one word per 6 seconds; the writing speed of regular script is twice as fast, about 20 words per minute; and the writing speed of cursive script is 30 words per minute. Character. That's roughly the speed. If you write slowly in cursive, you will feel clumsy and foolish, and it will detract from your sharpness; if you write slowly in regular script, you will feel stuck and uncomfortable, like a stick in your throat. Therefore, everyone's writing speed should be reasonably selected based on their own foundation and writing habits.
Mr. Qi Gong once said: "Ring script should be written in regular script, and its positions should be gathered and dispersed without losing control." Regular script should be written in a straight line, and the pointillism should not be rigid. The main focus is on calligraphy, but it also includes the issue of speed.
Baoyong believes that practice makes perfect. Generally speaking, writing speed gradually increases with the development of calligraphy. Calligraphy scholars should follow personal reality and objective laws, and can gradually strengthen and improve, but they should not abandon the basics and try to exploit the weak points.
Talk about mediocrity. The illustrations in the article are Baoyong's hard pen exercises. As for fast writing in regular script, it is almost the same as in regular script, with fewer strokes. Just like Zhao Mengfu's regular script, some people say it is Xingkai script. In fact, it is just that the glances and echoes between the strokes are more obvious. Write fast in regular script. This is the original effect. You will understand it if you look at Zhao Mengfu's regular script.
