Du Cao writes cursive script-scorpion body
Du Cao's calligraphy is famous for Zhang. Cao Zhang is an early cursive script. It is the cursive script of official script, a font developed from official script. Its strokes preserve some official script strokes, which are said to have been made by You Shi, Emperor of the Han and Yuan Dynasties, and the court used it to memorialize, so it was called Cao Zhang. Du Cao was very interested in scorpions when he was young. He often plays scorpions with his friends. On one occasion, a Jiezi who was caught by chopsticks struggled to resist, showing its indomitable spirit. Let's put it on the ground. It may be interesting, but it won't run anyway. The onlookers gave a cheer: "Look! Scorpion "Breakthrough" I saw the scorpion, cocked its strong and unyielding tail, climbed and climbed, and suddenly disappeared. Later, Du Cao became an official and wrote and read many official documents every day. After a long time, he felt that the writing speed of this font was too slow. Yes, he has a new idea. Originally, seal script advocated by Li Si was rarely used since Qin Shihuang, because it was time-consuming and laborious to write. When Du Cao was alive, he gradually discovered that in many emergencies, people wrote official documents in a unique way, and they were neatly drawn and not harsh. Especially the dispatch sent from the front, the handwriting is even scribbled. Du Cao believes that fonts are not immutable. Can't the writing of characters be changed on the basis of official script according to needs? He looked at the scrawled handwriting for a long time and thought for a long time. How to make writing concise and powerful? Suddenly, in his mind, he saw the image of a scorpion with its tail cocked when crawling, which made him feel very happy.
He thought, in the postscript, there are many words. How powerful it is to be cocky when writing a horizontal line! It's money. He wrote a new style of official script, and further absorbed urgent words, creating a simple and easy-to-write style with a silver hook and a scorpion tail.
