○ Chinese calligraphy – Running script
Running script lies somewhere between regular script and cursive script, boasting a fluid and dynamic structure, with continuous yet measured strokes. Its natural and unrestrained strokes, alternating between fast and slow, convey the writer's emotions and are well-suited for expressing inner thoughts. Practicing running script cultivates an inner sense of rhythm and emotional balance, helping the writer find peace of mind amidst the fluidity of the brushstrokes.
- Written words:
- Think slowly and act prudently, keep your mind steady and go far
- Pause and Reflect, Act with Steadiness and Clarity
- Writing Tips:
- When acting impulsively, running script can help slow down reaction times. When writing the phrase "Think slowly, act cautiously; a steady heart leads to far-reaching goals," the brushstrokes should be slow, deep, and steady, fostering a mindset and behavior of careful consideration before action.
