Pictures of classic hard-pen calligraphy works The question of whether it is necessary to practice regular script first is briefly discussed here. In fact, there are similarities between regular script and running script, but there are also great differences. Regular script has the writing standard of regular script, and running script has the writing standard of running script, and the two cannot be confused. We can't think that writing regular script quickly is running script, and writing running script quickly becomes cursive script.
Appreciation of Hard Pen Calligraphy People often compare regular script to standing and running script to walking. Natural cursive is running, you must learn to stand first, and then learn to walk. There is some truth in this statement, and it also emphasizes the necessity of practicing the basic skills of writing. But people ignore that this basic skill has two meanings: one is the ability to control strokes, and the other is the ability to understand various calligraphy styles and grasp the characteristics of strokes. Therefore, under the condition of mastering the basic strokes of Chinese characters, we can practice running script directly for practical writing. Because when practicing running script, you can also train your pen control ability. Because the standard of regular script and running script is different, we often see some people who write neatly, but they are confused when writing running script. Can we write quickly? Ghost painting? Yes, this is because it is not written according to the specifications of different styles. This is why many calligraphers in history are good at regular script, running script and cursive script.
Specification and Style of Hard Pen Calligraphy The writing specification of Chinese characters is the crystallization of calligraphers' writing practice for thousands of years, and it is a recognized and established writing method of calligraphers in past dynasties. There may be many different ways to write the same word, that is, there are different writing norms. Such as truth, line, official script, grass and seal script, each has its own specific writing norms. It is the same style of the same word, and the writing is different, each with its own style.
