# Cursive calligraphy skills
1. exposure and collection: cursive scripts are generally exposed, but remember that they are illusory and slippery. Exposure and closure can connect strokes, and strokes should echo and be close.
2, there is a curve in the straight: cursive script should pay attention to the curve changes, ups and downs at will, so that the straight line has a curve, but avoid blindly winding the oil, and the strokes should be strong.
3. Changes in light and heavy: the cursive strokes should be slightly changed, but blindly focusing on them will lead to stagnation and listlessness, while blindly focusing on them will lead to vanity and lightness, but the light and heavy strokes must be moderate, otherwise it will only increase evil.
4. Pay equal attention to Fiona Fang: Fang Xianfang, round and agile. Too many squares will produce rigidity, and when they pass the circle, they will appear oily.
5. Appropriate conversion and appropriate folding: cursive conversion is more than folding, but it should be converted into awkwardness and compromise.
6. Stroke substitution: cursive script is a symbolic calligraphy (that is, freehand brushwork in painting). A symbol can replace a word or radical (even a few words) to achieve a simple effect and receive an abstract artistic effect.
7. Use fewer generations: cursive scripts should be as concise as possible, and fewer generations can be used.
8, ink is divided into five colors: cursive script should pay attention to the change of ink color concentration, dry and wet in the writing process, beginners need to read more famous works to understand the mystery of using ink. In the process of ink color, there is a complete process-ink mixing-thick-light-dry.
9. Tie: The previous stroke is slightly raised between strokes after the rain, but it remains open and connected back and forth, forming a tie, which can be connected within words and between words, and the strokes will form a certain contrast between reality and reality, enhancing the artistic vitality of the work.
10. Use on both sides: generally use the side to open the pen, and occasionally use the side to close the pen. In calligraphy, centering is often used to ensure the structure of words, thus enhancing the effect of works.
