This post. Hard-pen calligraphy is a bright pearl in the hundred gardens of calligraphy art, and its writing tools include pens, gel pens, artistic pens, pencils, chalk and so on. With ink or powdery medium as the main carrier, the writing skills of Chinese characters are expressed. It has the characteristics of convenient carrying, quick writing and wide use value.

The visual difference between it and brush calligraphy is that the strokes are thick or thin, just like removing their bones and muscles. However, the imaging principle and sports skills are very different, and they are two different sports methods.

Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting, the most famous running script, is a draft, but it can be used as a representative of running script. Its pen is clever and vivid, its structure is rich and colorful, and its characters are basically independent. In the Tang Dynasty, he was favored by Emperor Taizong. The testamentary edict was originally buried with him, but now only a copy exists. ?

First of all, running script is convenient to write: running script simplifies the part of regular script, or omits stippling or merges lines. For example, next to the word "Hua", it turns out that seven paintings were written in regular script, and only two paintings were written in running script.

Secondly, the brushwork is smooth: increase the hook knot. Writing regular script requires clear stippling and one stroke at a time. Use the running script to draw the line between the lines, and the posture is flowing and lively.

Flexible use of pen: the running script is more flexible than regular script, and the same stippling writing method is not limited. For example, after writing the word "a" horizontally, you can go up from the right, circle it and write a tick. You can also write Gogo directly from the right.

There are many changes in posture: because the running script is between regular script and cursive script, it has a wide range of activities and a variety of changes in a word. For example, the four prefixes of the word "Hua" are written neatly and orderly, with similarities and differences, diverse and unified, and interesting. Don't use grass symbols or less, and keep the recognizable structure of regular characters.

When writing, you can write simply, quickly and easily. So it is used in drafts, letters, essays, etc. To facilitate the circulation and exchange of written information. People all over the world pay special attention to this font when learning calligraphy, which is also the most practical font in daily life.

Therefore, Xiang Mu's Book of Elegant Words concludes: "Truth is the foundation of the script, and it is not easy for the author to make it quickly; The grass is simple and vertical, so it is difficult for people to see it. It's not really grass. It's embarrassing. "
