Character structure of running script
Running script is between regular script and cursive script, and its shape can be close to both regular script and cursive script. Several factors related to character configuration, such as pen shape, components and combination mode, have considerable freedom of change, which is not as stable as regular script. So its character configuration obviously shows a kind of? There's no pattern every time? The same word often has two or more configurations, that is, the phenomenon of different writing is very common. Let's observe and analyze the specific situation of running script character configuration from different angles.
First, it is almost the same as regular script, with almost the same configuration, no difference in components and combinations, and basically the same strokes (or slightly changed). The main difference is that stippling is flexible and changeable, not as standardized and reserved as regular script. This is because the speed and rhythm of writing is faster than that of regular script. Many people write in the same direction, and when they close, they will immediately transition to the next stippling, with little or no pause. Try Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion? God? 、? Collar? 、? Its? 、? Zhu? Wait, this feature is obvious. These words and strokes are fluent and natural, and the relationship between them is obvious, thus greatly enhancing the vitality and vitality of the body and giving people a lively and relaxed feeling.
Second, simplify the stippling or structure. In general, the configuration of regular script characters cannot be simplified, but the running script is not so strict. For the convenience of writing or the need of taking advantage of the situation, the running script written by the ancients often simplifies sketches and even parts. For example, these words: industry? The lower part of the word (traditional) is simplified with horizontal lines. Ghosts? The word is abbreviated to apostrophe on the head. Although? The word on the left (traditional)? Although? On the right? Hey? And then what? Tim. The one to the right of the word? Hey? Let's keep it simple, shall we? Lee? Word sum? Rain? The words are simplified by two points respectively. Hui? Save it, okay? Celebrate? Is the word (traditional) simplified? Heart? . In running script, some words can not only be used alone, but also be simplified when constructing other combined words as radicals or radicals. Like what? Rain? When this word is used alone, it can save two points, all from? Rain? Words can also be simplified; ? Ghosts? When a word is used alone, one end of curly hair can be saved, and all words heard from ghosts or ghosts can also be saved.
Third, the components are omitted. The so-called component is a local unit composed of two or more stipplings in a combined character. Like what? And then what? Does this word contain? Wo? With what? Mouth? Two local units, so to speak? And then what? Is it by? Wo? With what? Mouth? A combination of Chinese characters composed of these two parts. Components that can form words independently are called word-building components. Components that cannot be typed independently are called untyped components. In order to pursue the convenience of writing, running script and cursive script use different pen methods for Chinese characters (official script and regular script), which not only saves the number of stippling, but also changes its structure. Run scripts on components? Hey? 、? Door? 、? Hey? 、? Going? 、? Hey? 、? Rain? 、? Feet? 、? Every one? The most common form of provincial variation. A large number of components are used to save variations, which is the most prominent feature of cursive configuration.
There are two situations that need to be explained in the component change of running script:
1, the same component often has different deformation rescue bodies. When changing a component in a running script, the same component can be changed in different ways, and the same way can also be changed in different degrees, so it is often the phenomenon that the same component has different deformation savers. Like what? Do you know? 、? Drunk? 、? Have to? Of the three words? Words? 、? Pawn, pawn? , three components, usually with three different deformation savers. It can be clearly seen from these words that as long as one of the components has different deformation, then the character will have different writing styles and form different body shapes. Therefore, the same component is allowed to have different variants, which is the main reason for the different writing methods of the same word from the perspective of customary characters; From the perspective of calligraphy art, it is an important way to pursue the change of body posture. Try it? Drunk? Word and three? Have to? The different forms of Chinese characters are mainly obtained by using the different changes of the right components.
2. After the change, the shapes of some different components are mixed together. In running script, we often find some originally different parts. After omitting the changes, not only the shapes tend to be the same, but also some characters can be mixed. This phenomenon is called the confusion of provincial transformer elements. Like what? Hey? 、? Hey? Originally, they are two completely different parts, and they must not be mixed in regular script. However, after saving components in running script, these two different components have the same saved variant, and they can also be used in regular script. De? 、? Must? 、? Law? No different from other characters. Same? Rice? 、? Half? 、? Pick? As a component, it can also be saved on the left side of the character, but it makes no difference when mixed. Clothes? And then what? Show? Sometimes it is also saved on the left side, and so on. This phenomenon that the shapes of several different parts tend to be the same and mixed after saving and changing mainly appears in radicals or radicals. Some of them can be used for almost all common words with the same direction. Like from? Clothes? At the beginning, the words quilt, trousers, mounting, shirt, sleeve, margin, skirt, mattress, etc. Clothes? On the left, with from? Show? Same.
Fourth, follow the variant configuration of seal script or official script. When browsing and studying official scripts of past dynasties, it is often found that the configuration of some words does not correspond to the usual regular script, but it is consistent with a variant of seal script or official script. For example? Only? And then what? Eyebrows? Does it follow the configuration of seal script? By who? 、? Send? 、? Virtual? 、? Me? 、? Hey? 、? General? It is the variant configuration of these words in official script. In fact, this is a phenomenon of writing seal script configuration by stippling with a pen in running script. For this phenomenon, it is difficult to understand if you are only familiar with the popular regular script and don't understand the development history of Chinese characters, and it is not easy to identify some running script characters as above.
In addition to the historical reasons for the evolution and development of characters, there is also a situation in which some calligraphers in later generations deliberately use the brushwork of running script to write the configuration of seal script in pursuit of some artistic interest or style. Like what? Eyebrows? The writing of this word falls into this category. Zheng Banqiao, who claims to be six and a half books, also likes to do this in his calligraphy creation.
