Running script is a magnificent and fluent style, which also occupies an important position in traditional calligraphy. The principle of running script is to use pen as the main part and point as the auxiliary part, so as to be horizontal, flat and vertical, vivid in image and permeated with pen and ink. Running script is often regarded as the missing link and transition of calligraphy art because of its beautiful and smooth characteristics. When writing running script, properly using the changes and additions and subtractions of strokes can make the lines smoother and more delicate and enhance the aesthetic feeling of writing.
As a unique artistic expression, cursive script is quite different from regular script and running script. The form of cursive script is more casual and free. If regular script and running script need to be compared and controlled one by one, cursive script is the opposite. It emphasizes the free play of thoughts and gestures, so the changes of strokes are more obvious and exaggerated. The best cursive works must be quiet and refined, giving people far-reaching imagination and unlimited emotional expression.
