The writing method of the cursive script of Dezi is: the cursive writing is more elegant, the two characters are written almost like three points of water, and the right side is a simple 3 with a bend.
Cursive script is characterized by simple structure and continuous strokes. It was formed in the Han Dynasty and evolved on the basis of official script for the convenience of writing. There are Zhangcao, Jincao and Kuangcao, and Jincao is divided into big grass (also called Kuangcao) and small grass, showing the beauty of art in the madness.
In view of the current situation of cursive writing, let’s talk about several issues that should be paid attention to when learning cursive writing:
1. The strictness of cursive writing
The cursive writing method It's very strict, so writing cursive is like "dancing in shackles." The cursive method is a convention established in the history of calligraphy for thousands of years. It can be traced back to Zhangcao and "Seventeen Posts". Learning cursive script requires one more homework than learning other calligraphy styles: the specificity of characters requires accurate structure, and the writing style cannot be arbitrary. Beginners can read more about Zhiyong's "Zhencao Thousand-Character Essay", "Shu Pu", "Seventeen Posts", etc. These long cursive script classics will help to master the cursive method.
2. The upper and lower characters are related and the momentum of the characters runs through
"Shu Pu" says: "Bo Ying is not true, but the stipples are messy; Yuan Chang is not cursive, so he turns vertical and horizontal." The brush should be of appropriate weight, and the lines between stippling and drawing should be clear and without any confusion. Especially for Dacao, the brush strokes can be varied, and various other calligraphy styles can be used to start and close the calligraphy, with varying sizes.
3. Step by step
Only after a certain stage of practicing calligraphy with Jincao can you practice Dacao, otherwise it will be the end without a foundation. Changes in composition are the key to cursive writing. You must have aesthetic and literary accomplishments to display your talent inadvertently. But you also have to remember the pen and don't scribble randomly. It is best to see the shadow of the model you learned in your work at a glance. The big grass means that the intention comes first, while the small grass can be written first with the intention.
At the same time, learning cursive writing should not be rushed. We can learn from and learn from the calligraphy styles and calligraphy methods currently popular in the National Exhibition, but we must have our own cursive script path that we adhere to, learn from the ancients, and finally develop our own style.
