Therefore, the daily practice of calligraphy is also based on running script. If I write regular script now, it's hard for me to hold my temper and sit on the bench, so I take practical running script as the theme of calligraphy practice.
But the word "scribble" does not mean that it is a running script. Running script has its own unique rules. Running script is not "scribbling" at will, nor is it a spider's web.
The history of calligraphy proves that this is possible. Regular script and running script were both formed in the Han Dynasty, and they were two calligraphy styles that appeared almost simultaneously. It's not like people think, "You have to learn the model before you can learn the running script."
Running script can't be understood as quick writing of regular script. There are similarities and differences between regular script and running script, just like singing operas and popular songs. They come from the same background and have different skills. However, compared with other major calligraphy styles, regular script is relatively complete in pen and structure, so it is easier to learn running script based on regular script.
First of all, we must determine the direction of practicing calligraphy. Without a purpose, it will only make you stagnate. For example, I just hope that my words can be better used in life and work. If you want to be better than the general public, I suggest starting with the current hard pen calligrapher.
There are high-definition templates and video tutorials, which will get twice the result with half the effort, so it will greatly shorten the time of practicing calligraphy for half a year and see remarkable results. If it is a personal hobby, I usually like to write and draw, or I want to go further in calligraphy.
I suggest absorbing nutrition from ancient copybooks. For example, Wang Xizhi, Lu Jianzhi, Mi Fei, Wen Zhiming, Zhao Mengfu and Cai Xiang all made a good start, absorbed the essence of any genre and made great achievements in hard writing.
It's just that this process is quite long, and it's difficult to find the correct guidance when encountering problems, and it's basically on your own.
In the practice of hard-pen calligraphy, I think the most important thing is the echo between strokes and the echo between words. Many people have practiced regular script for several years, but they still feel unable to write running script. The reason is that they didn't notice the echo relationship at first.
There are still some people who are rigid in writing lines, which is also caused by not paying attention to the inevitable connection between strokes. In addition, chapter layout is also very important, so in the process of running script practice, it is best to practice multiple words together. You can practice two words together first, two words repeatedly, five words, and the whole column. The words practiced by this practice method can only be used in the layout of the following chapters.
