Running script is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, and it is a font between regular script and cursive script, which is divided into running script and cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script, and it is very practical and artistic.
Running script is a writing style between regular script and cursive script, which appeared in the late Western Han Dynasty and the early Eastern Han Dynasty. The name of the running script first appeared in Wei Heng's "? "Four-style Calligraphy" article: "There are two schools of thought, one is Yao and the other is Zhao, both of whom learn. "
Zhang Huaiguan's Shu Duan in the Tang Dynasty recorded: "A calligrapher is like Liu Desheng. That is, the book is small and fake, and the affairs are simple and popular, so it is called a running account. " Zhang Huaiguan also said in "On Books": "Husband's calligraphy is neither grass nor true, leaving the party and avoiding circles, and caring about seasonal Mencius. Those who are true are called true, and those who bring grass are called grass."
"Where is Feng Fang in the Ming Dynasty? There is a more vivid description in the book: "write without stopping, write without engraving, turn it over and press it gently, like flowing water, uninterrupted and everlasting." "Running script has been favored and spread widely since its birth because of its unique artistic expression and wide practicability.
After the golden period of Wei and Jin Dynasties and the development period of Tang Dynasty, running script reached a new peak in Song Dynasty and gradually occupied the mainstream position in various calligraphy styles. Throughout the long history of calligraphy, the development of seal script, official script and regular script has ups and downs, while running script is immortal, which has always been a prominent study in calligraphy. Great calligraphers of past dynasties wrote a glorious history of running script development.
