Running script is the most suitable font for daily writing, which is faster than regular script, neater than cursive script, easier to identify, and the font is smooth and elegant. It is an essential font for daily writing. Generally speaking, the running script pen is flexible, mobile and diverse. Knowing these characteristics, writing will be much more natural.
1. Use it correctly.
Generally speaking, the running script pen is only one-third of the whole pen, and the heaviest pen should not exceed half. In this way, when you write, you can press or lift. Of course, this is not absolute. People who like to write books with short foreheads and long foreheads are often not restricted by this, or use full foreheads or foreheads. As long as properly mastered, they can follow the requirements in Liang Yi's book review:
"Use the pen properly, but also jump, don't let the pen stick to the paper." Writing big characters in small print will be stretched and withered. The fineness of words is often closely related to the size and depth of pens. If you use too many pens, the strokes will be stiff, flat and thin.
It is appropriate to write late and write quickly.
The speed of running scripts cannot be generalized. It should be said that it is both late and fast. Also depends on the needs of the whole article. Although it is a word, it can be as fast as the wind and as late as a boat.
Therefore, the speed of writing should not be limited to medium speed, and urgent writing should not be accelerated. It is better to be calm and use your heart to express your feelings. In the "Calligraphy Tips" of the Qing Dynasty, it was put forward: "If you can use the author, you will have a good name, and it will be interesting to use the pen."
3. Pen delivery
Running script must be "pen to pen". The so-called pen transport means that in the process of running a stroke, the pen tip should be in place, and the pen tip cannot be picked out or folded at the end of the stroke. This is the key to writing. The kung fu of this pen comes from the basic skills of regular script writing, otherwise it will not be delivered in place and the quality of strokes is poor.
4. Think horizontal first, think vertical first.
Whether horizontal painting and vertical painting are hidden or exposed, they all conform to the principle of model opening. In horizontal painting, it is especially important to note that there should not be too many sharp pens to prevent the thin strokes from being cut off and make the pens full and thick. Cut to the right before putting pen to paper in vertical painting, and then press cut to prevent it from being too sharp.
This tie is not thick.
Jiang Kui put forward in "Continued Book Spectrum": "All paintings are stippling, no stippling, occasional paintings, and their pens are light." If there is a thick entanglement between paintings and words, there will be suspicion of usurping the role of master and entanglement.
6. Turn the front end like a tendon
Turning the front is to turn the pen with your wrist, so that the front ring becomes a line without edges and corners, that is, "turning the circle." For example, the main pen or hook pen that writes the words "Ye", "Wei", "De" and "Er" should achieve the same effect as the tendon circle and have a three-dimensional sense.
7. Vertical pen display
In other words, we should boldly absorb ink and let it flow freely, so as to receive the artistic effect of unrestrained momentum and ingenious brushwork. In ancient times, Zhu Yunming, Xu Wei, Chen Daofu, Wang Duo, Fu Shan and Zhang Ruitu all made good use of this method.
8. Frontal changes
Beginning means that the last stroke of the previous word is followed by the first stroke of the next word. Pay attention to the changes of the lead, and try not to appear in the same category of an article. In running script, Feng can change his posture, resulting in the increase and change of rhythm.
9. Pick up the pen gently
In the structure of words, some strokes are connected left and right, some are connected up and down, and some are crossed, all of which have a certain "seam" position and writing method. It is also called "pointed joint" because it is not suitable to apply heavy ink to joints, and it is often connected with a light pointed pen, so the pen should be light and dexterous.
10. Smooth pen packaging
When writing some words, use the brushwork of small disk and large circle, such as "ground" and "Dai" as large and small circles, and the external structure of "country" as large circles, all of which are called pen wrapping or pen returning. When writing this stroke, you must master the forward rotation of the front head to get a strong and smooth line effect. This method is mostly used in cursive writing.
1 1. Flip vividly.
It is the action of changing the forward direction according to the needs of body shape and continuing to sprint by turning the pen tip. It is often used at the turning point of Fang Bi, and it is used with folding pens to draw corners and avoid stiff pens. It is difficult to master the method of turning pen, so it is necessary to practice and experience more.
12. Go with nature
That is, you can't pretend to tremble with a pen. The beauty of calligraphy lies in the embodiment of nature in manpower, which is a very high realm. Nature is the nature that people try their best to adapt to natural conditions, so the significance and value of the application of techniques have been reflected in calligraphy creation. It is a sign that "people are old when they meet", and it is not intentional.
