What are the four styles of calligraphy?

The four styles of calligraphy refer to the four styles of "zheng", "cao", "official" and "zhuan". Zhengshu refers not only to regular script, but also to Wei stele. Cursive script refers to Kuang Cao, represented by Zhang Xu, Huai Su, etc., and also refers to Da Cao; it also refers to cursive script that is more standardized than Kuang Cao, called Xiao Cao, represented by "Shupu" written by Sun Guoting of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, there is also a kind of urgent writing in official script called Zhangcao. Between cursive and straight script is running script. Official script emerged in the late Qin and early Han dynasties. At first, it was mainly used for copying official documents for simplicity. Later, it was also used to write inscriptions on steles and cliffs. Seal script is the general term for oracle bones, bells and tripods, stone drums and small seal scripts.
