The best introductory copybook for running script is the Preface to the Holy Teachings.
As a beginner of running script, "Holy Teaching Preface" is a must-pass for beginners to learn running script. After passing this hurdle, it will pave the way for other calligraphy styles in the future.
Each character in the Preface to the Sacred Teachings is collected and organized into an article from Wang Xizhi’s Dharma postscripts. Each character is carefully selected and the connection between the upper and lower characters is taken into consideration throughout the article. .
What you can see now about the Holy Order are rubbings. They are very old, and the writing on the stele in front of the rubbings is mottled, so the upper and lower parts of the text are not very coherent. When writing a post, special attention should be paid to the continuity of Qi between the upper and lower characters. For the Qi connection, you can refer to Wang Xizhi's Orchid Pavilion Preface.
Introduction to "The Preface to the Holy Religion":
Wang Xizhi's "The Preface to the Holy Religion" is the first choice introductory copybook for learning Wang's calligraphy. The full name of "The Preface to the Holy Teachings" is "The Preface to the Holy Teachings of the Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty" and was written by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. It was first written by Chu Suiliang, one of the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty, and was called "The Preface to the Sacred Teaching of the Wild Goose Pagoda". Later, Shamen Huairen collected the calligraphy from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and carved it into an inscription, which was called "Huairen's Collection of Wang Xizhi's Calligraphy". "Preface to the Holy Religion" perfectly reproduces the artistic characteristics of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and has become a great treasure house of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.
"Preface to the Holy Book of Collection of Characters" (must be written), Wang Xizhi's "Preface to Lanting" (the best running script in the world). I wish you a happy study of "Wang Xi's Ruled Letters". Su Shi's "Huangzhou Hanshi Tie" (the third running script) Wang Xun's "Bo Yuan Tie" (the fourth) Yang Ningshi's "Leek Flower Tie" (the fifth) and Mi Fu's "Shu Su Tie" and "Tiaoxi Tie" Poems" etc. can be adjusted. Yan Zhenqing's "Nephew Memorial Manuscript" (second running script) is not suitable for beginners.
