According to Xiao Yan's "Liang Kaidi cursive script", the current cursive script came into being because: "The princes fought for a long time, the simplified script was passed down from generation to generation, and they looked forward to the post office. Because it was difficult to seal the official seal, they could not save speed, so they pretended to be in a hurry and built this cursive script." It shows that cursive script is produced for the convenience of writing. The name of cursive script was mentioned for the first time in history. Syria ",Syria clearly pointed out that" Han Xing has a cursive script ".
Font features: cursive script itself has a process of evolution of tuxedo. Generally speaking, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, there were mainly Cao Zhang, Cao Jin and Crazy Grass. "Cao Zhang" has strict organizational rules, so people call it "Cao Zhang", and later regular script cursive script is called "modern grass". Cursive script usually refers to "present grass".
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous cursive writer Zhang Zhi appeared. He is known as "Cao Sheng" because of his exquisite handwriting. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huaiguan listed Zhang Zhi's Cao Zhang and Jin Cao as masterpieces. Zhang Xu, a famous cursive master, appeared in the Tang Dynasty. His word "Gao Bo" pioneered "weeds" and was called "Cao Xian". Weeds are a further artistic expression of this kind of grass, which is often endless, unrestrained and beautiful in shape.
Regular script can be used as a French model for learning Chinese characters, so it is called regular script. Regular script is a writing style based on Han Li, also known as "official script" and "real script". Regular script evolved from Han Li, so it is also called "regular script" in history. In the Three Kingdoms period, Zhong Wei had Wang Jinxi, and the font was further standardized, making regular script a completely independent font.
Compared with official script, regular script has straighter lines and stronger font stereotypes. Specifically, Han Li's strokes are mostly flat and spread outward, while regular script strokes are rectangular and concentrated inward. Han Li's pens are mostly wavy, and the thickness changes greatly, while regular script pens are stable or hard to fold, and the thickness changes relatively little. Regular script has strict rules and very standardized writing forms, such as paying attention to "eight laws of ancient characters"
In the history of regular script, there have been various styles of regular script, such as, European style, Chu style, Yan style, Liu Ti style, Shoujin style and Zhao Ti style. The so-called "Wei Ti" refers to the calligraphy style of stone carvings, cliffs and statues in the Northern Dynasties, Yuan and Wei Dynasties, also known as "North Monument Style" or "Wei Monument Style". Wei Ti's brushwork is changeable, mainly square and dignified, which is an important calligraphy style during Kai Lee's political reform. "European Style" is a regular script style created by Ou Yangxun in Tang Dynasty. "Chu Style" is a regular script style created by Chu Suiliang in Tang Dynasty. "Yan Style" is a regular script style created by Yan Zhenqing in Tang Dynasty. Liu Ti is a regular script created by Liu Gongquan in Tang Dynasty. "Shoujin Style" is a regular script style created by Song Huizong and Evonne on the basis of Xue Jikai's calligraphy style in Tang Dynasty. "Zhao Ti" is a regular script created by Zhao Mengfu in Yuan Dynasty. Among many regular script styles, "Yan style" is vigorous and solemn, and "thin gold style" is particularly worthy of attention.
Running script is a writing style between cursive and regular script, and it is also the most commonly used one in daily life, so it can be said to be cursive or cursive. Zhang Huaiguan of the Tang Dynasty said: "This is a kind of running script." . Running script is actually only to remedy the illegibility of cursive script and the slow writing of regular script. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, cursive script and regular script prevailed. On the one hand, running script accepted the influence of cursive script, but on the other hand, it corrected the irregularity of cursive script. On the one hand, it accepts the influence of regular script, and at the same time avoids the laborious writing of regular script. Running script is between cursive and regular script, which has two advantages.
Running script is a kind of writing between cursive script and regular script. If there are many cursive scripts, they can also be called "cursive scripts" or "cursive scripts". Regular script with many parts can also be called "running script" or "true line". Liu Xizai's Outline of Fine Arts in Qing Dynasty said: "Running script has a trip of true line and cursive script. Truth is close to truth and perpendicular to truth, and grass is close to grass and gathers in grass. "
There are many famous calligraphers in past dynasties, and Wang Xizhi in Jin Dynasty was the first one. Wang Xizhi doesn't talk much. They are also called Wang Youjun and Wang Huiji because they are generals of the right army who also study literature and history. When he was young, he seriously studied Mrs. Wei's calligraphy style, and later learned Zhang Zhi's cursive and regular script, learned from others' strengths and studied the style, changed the simple calligraphy style in the Han and Wei dynasties, and created a beautiful and smooth calligraphy style, which reached a magical realm, unparalleled in ancient and modern times. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has been handed down from generation to generation, and the most famous is naturally the Preface to Lanting, which is listed as the best running script by calligraphers. Some great calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty not only wrote regular script well, but also enjoyed great fame in running script, such as Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Yan Zhenqing, Chu Suiliang and Xue Qi. Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei, Cai Xiang and many other famous artists appeared in the Song Dynasty.
