During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty, the writing of Chinese characters gradually changed from wave to wave, and became "left" (dot), "sweep" (long left), "peck" (short left) and "lift" (straight hook).

Fonts produced for writing convenience. It began in the early Han Dynasty. At that time, it was "Cao Li", that is, scribbled official script, which gradually developed into a kind of "Cao Zhang" with artistic value.
Before the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhi changed "Cao Zhang" to "modern grass", and the character style was formed in one stroke. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xu and Huai Su developed into "weeds", with continuous strokes and changeable glyphs.
Modern Lin Sanzhi, Li Zhimin and Yu Youren have the reputation of "sage of grass". Lin Sanzhi's representative works include Sino-Japanese Friendship Poem and Xu Yao's Cursive Poem on Huai Su, among which the Sino-Japanese Friendship Poem is called "the first cursive poem in Lin Sanzhi".

There are more methods of mold opening than cursive writing, which is called "mold opening". Cursive calligraphy is more than modular method, which is called "cursive calligraphy". Running script began in the late Han Dynasty.
