3SFM Practical Cursive Chinese

跑堂的 :)

What's happening in the 作业 section? Is that you having three attempts and a teacher choosing the best, or...?

 

Cool new blog, looking forward to it.

In these problems, the book supplies a 楷书 then three possible 行书 written variants. You are to select the 行书 variant that best matches the writing rules and examples previously given.

I'd forgotten about all the jokes

This should be 明明.

 

I know you're thinking that second squiggle doesn't look anything like 明 and you're right.  That squiggle means 'duplicate of the previous character'.

I have never seen this before (I know that means nothing, there is a lot I don't know) but is it only used in this type of "school work"? or should I have encountered it in the wild by now?

 

 

Occasionally you'll see it used, after more complex characters especially. Thus 谢〻 or 谢々. It's largely a handwriting convention. 明々白々我的心。

 

I agree with 889 that's it's mostly a handwriting convention (much like " is used underneath English sentences to indicate a repeat of the word above).

If you've encountered lots of handwriting then I would have expected that you'd have encountered it in the wild.  If you hadn't, then I wouldn't have expected you to have seen it.

If you've taken any formal classes, the teacher would probably have used it on the blackboard at some point.
