Running script is a font style in China's calligraphy art, and it is also an important part of Chinese character art. It originated in ancient China and has been circulating for thousands of years.
Running script is a font in Lian Bi, which is characterized by smooth font and coherent strokes. Compared with the regularity of regular script and the rigor of official script, running script is more passionate and full of vitality. The sketch and bold brushwork of running script make it one of the most expressive and creative forms in calligraphy art.
The characteristics of running script are mainly manifested in the following aspects:
Grass trend circulation: the running script pays attention to the expression of momentum and momentum, and has a unique flu and grass trend. It extends the strokes freely in vertical, horizontal and left-right directions to form a coherent line.
Essence of simplicity: Running script pays attention to simplicity without losing its essence, reduces the details and embellishments of glyphs, and emphasizes the overall structure and strength of words. It outlines the image of words through concise lines and expresses far-reaching meanings with few strokes.
Combination of rigidity and softness: the brushwork of running script is full of strength, sometimes with a sense of toughness, but without losing the beauty of softness. Through the application of strength and change, the font has a layered and heavy feeling.
In one go: Running script pursues the unity of speed and rhythm, and strives to complete the whole font in one go. It is done with free and smooth brushwork, emphasizing the continuity and stability of writing.
As a calligraphy style, running script is widely used in calligraphy creation, seal cutting, calligraphy teaching and art appreciation. Its unique formal beauty and expressive force make it an indispensable part of China calligraphy culture.
