Judging from the development of characters, the evolution of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan and Lishu is relatively clear. The relationship between official script and cursive script, running script and regular script is complicated. According to the investigation of a large number of bamboo slips unearthed at present, the germination of running script can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, and it was formally produced in the late Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties.
The historical record of running script is first found in Jin's Four-body Book: "At that time, there were two calligraphers, Zhong (Yao) and Hu (Zhao), both of whom studied, but the clock was slightly different." ?
In the Southern Dynasties, Yang Xin extracted names from ancient books and said, "Liu Desheng is a good calligrapher. Who doesn't know?" . Li Yao, Wei Taiwei, and Tongxian County collected buses. Both sons studied Desheng, Hu Shupang and Zhong Shu thin. " ?
Wei Heng, Yang Xin and other early classic accounts only show that Liu Desheng is good at writing running script, but he did not attribute all the credit for running script creation to Liu Desheng.
Liu Xizai's Introduction to Art pointed out: "Liu Desheng, a world-famous scholar, wrote a running script. However, the statement in Wei Heng Biography of the Jin Dynasty that' Hu Zhong and his two families were calligraphers in Wei Chu, all of whom studied under Liu Desheng' does not mean that calligraphy was created by Liu Desheng at the beginning. " ?
Zhang Huaiguan in the Tang Dynasty "Book Breaking? Running script: "The criminal was also made by Liu Desheng in Yingchuan at the end of the Han Dynasty, that is, a small forgery of official books." "Zhong Yuan used to be good at writing books, but later Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi became extremely difficult." "Praise: neither grass nor truth, showing flexibility, ... Liu Zifa source, Hu Zhong pervasive. " ?
