Run scripting

Running script is a writing style in China's calligraphy, which originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Compared with regular script, running script is more fluent and natural, and Qubi increases the charm of calligraphy works and better embodies the artistic conception in calligraphy works. Running script, sometimes called "cursive script", is a personalized expression in China's calligraphy, which has the characteristics of freedom and wild.

If you want to write a running script well, you need to master certain skills. First of all, we should be good at using the three elements of "face, body and potential". Yan refers to the change of ink color and meteorological performance, body refers to the shape and structure of strokes, and potential refers to the change and speed of strokes. Secondly, we should pay attention to the grasp of the pen-holding gesture, which is particularly critical. There are many strokes in the running script, such as turning back, vigor and simplicity. Only by mastering these strokes can we write a viable running script.

Finally, writing a running script requires a cool head and a persistent attitude. We should try our best to understand the artistic conception and expression in calligraphy, keep practicing and accumulate experience. Only in this way can we write running script works with our own characteristics. Running script is a unique writing style and a difficult traditional calligraphy. If you want to write a good running script, you need to pay attention to skills and gestures, as well as persistent attitude and unremitting efforts.
