Matters needing attention in the transition from regular script to running script!

Regular script is the basis for us to learn to write. Before the third grade of primary school, you should strictly write regular script to lay a good foundation for yourself in the future. Whether it is hard pen calligraphy or brush calligraphy, we should be able to write neatly in regular script whenever necessary in the future.

Running script is a font widely used in study and work, and it is the highest realm to write well and quickly. If regular script is compared to walking, then running script is running. There is also a process from slow to fast from walking to running, so it is best to choose a script during this transition period. The most basic function of calligraphy is practicality. Learning to apply what you have learned and learning running script well is a necessary process of practicing calligraphy. I have met some friends who practice calligraphy. They can only use official script or seal script, but they can't or can't write running script well. It is very embarrassing to create calligraphy works, because according to the convention, official script or seal script can only write the text, not be used for endorsement and signature. From my reading experience, I think Zhao Ti is the most appropriate word. Zhao Mengfu's "Danba Monument" is a masterpiece of running script, with strong strokes and fluent writing. Zhao was chosen because Zhao Mengfu wrote quickly. It is said that he can write more than 10 thousand words a day, which is really good and fast. Some people with common knowledge of calligraphy know Wang Xizhi, a sage of calligraphy, but they don't know that Zhao Mengfu is the person who can get the true meaning of his calligraphy after Wang Xizhi.

The first requirement of practicing dictation is to get rid of the dictation rules as much as possible. For example, you can't write three drops of water bit by bit, and you can't write one by one next to the double, you have to do it in one go; Another example is the collection of pens by the sun, the moon, the eyes and the fields, which must be completed in one stroke without stopping; There are also some pens written in the upper part of the word, which can be written backwards (also called reverse writing) and so on, which can greatly improve the writing speed. When you start writing running script, you may feel that the speed is not fast enough, because you are not skilled in writing, and you will be handy if you are skilled.

When you start writing a running script, you should also pay attention to the way you write it. Students are going to ask, how can we come up with new methods after studying with you for so long? Yes! It is true that when we used to write regular script, we always wrote it word by word. Now when writing running script, you should get used to writing in groups. For example, China people and China, Marxism-Leninism, socialism, building a harmonious society and so on. Don't stop in the middle, do it at one go. I'm afraid to stand when I can hear you at ordinary times. Staying for a long time will inevitably affect the writing speed.

One more thing to remind everyone is that you can't throw away regular script. Since we can read, we have written regular script. After years of hard work, it is not correct to write "couplet" and never write regular script again. In daily life, we can often see that many adults can't write pinyin, which leads to inaccurate pronunciation and can't be corrected, so that foreigners joke that the northeast people are rustic. Regular script is a model of calligraphy, which has been circulated in China for more than 1000 years. Today, when filling out the application for joining the League, the application for joining the Party and various formal forms, it is required to write in regular script. It is also a loss to give up casually after years of practice.
