These three calligraphy styles, Kaixingcao and Kaixingcao, must not be biased towards one aspect. If you don’t practice regular script, I can say with certainty that your cursive script will definitely have no height and will inevitably bring about congenital disadvantages.
The pictures and text in this section come from the 113th episode of Tian Yunzhang's series of calligraphy lectures "One question per day, one word per day": "Wei Duansheng, a female calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty" and the word "xiang".

Let me introduce to you the word "xiang" in cursive script.
If you have never studied cursive script, and you suddenly see me writing the word "xiang" in cursive script, you will be surprised. Is this the word "xiang"?
Xiang is so simple, watch it again.
▲Demonstration 1 of cursive writing of the word "COUNTRY"
This is the cursive writing of the word "COUNTRY" in "COUNTRY". I have never had superb writing skills. What I want is simplicity. It doesn’t matter if it’s thicker or thinner. It doesn’t matter if it’s bigger or smaller. But as long as you can write like this, it’s very light and convenient. It is the "township" of "countryside".
If it must be explained clearly, it is probably because whether it is regular script or running script, it is one direction of the three-in-one vertical style, so each point represents one of them. Part, adding the three points together simply represents the three parts of this vertical form, then the last point is the vertical stroke on the right side of the ears. Because this method is often used when writing ear, the character is actually that simple.
When we write this word again, it is equivalent to saying that along with the word "xiang", we will briefly introduce the word "qing".
Sometimes this is also the case. This stroke can be ticked or unchecked, and it doesn’t matter.
At this stage of cursive script, it is also very similar to the character "xiang". In this way, when it comes to cursive script, it is very similar to the character "xiang" in cursive script, which is simpler. Pay attention to "Qing".
Everyone needs to know these words. You can learn more by cursive writing, and it will bring you a lot of convenience over time.
So among the three calligraphy styles of regular script and cursive script, you can never stick to one aspect. I only write regular script, but I don’t write cursive script. That’s not allowed. For those of you who love cursive writing, if you don’t practice regular script, I can say with certainty that your cursive writing will never be good.
So today people are very impetuous and can’t settle down to write regular script, especially not willing to write regular script. Even if they write, would you ask them if they have ever done it before? I have experienced it before, but I have only scratched the surface and looked at the flowers without a solid foundation. Therefore, if I don’t have a solid foundation in regular script, cursive writing will inevitably bring about congenital disadvantages.
