Introduction to running scripts
Running script is a general term, which is divided into running script and running script. It is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, a font between regular script and cursive script, in order to make up for the shortcomings of slow writing speed and illegible cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence. Those with more patterns than grass patterns are called "running patterns", and those with more grass patterns are called "running grass".
The origin of writing
1. According to Zhang Huaiguan's Broken Book, "The calligrapher was created by Liu Desheng in Yingchuan, the later Han Dynasty, that is, the book was small, so it was called a book." From the statement that "running script" is a font transformed from "official script"
2. According to Wang Sengqian's "Ancient Energy Title", "The book of Zhong You has three bodies: the book of Jinshi is the best; Second, the articles of association, secretary, primary school teacher; On the third day, I wrote a book, which was also heard by people. Hedong Weikaizi adopted Zhang Zhifa's method, participated in Kaifa's method, and even drafted it. The draft is also a book. " From the facts, running script, also known as running script, was originally developed from the signing of line drawing. Those who hear each other mean to believe.
Running script appeared at the same time as eight-part essay, and its form was very close to eight-part essay and later official script. This is equivalent to changing (chapter) cursive script from official script to other branches derived from "regular script". At the end of Han dynasty, running script was not widely used. It was not until the appearance of Wang Xizhi in Jin Dynasty that it became popular. Wang Xizhi combined its practicality and artistry perfectly. As a result, the colorful southern calligraphy art has emerged and become the most influential school in the history of calligraphy.
