What is the cursive script of the book?

Cursive script has broad and narrow meanings. In a broad sense, regardless of the age, all scribbled words are regarded as cursive. Narrow sense, that is, as a specific font, was formed in the Han Dynasty and evolved on the basis of official script in order to write simply.

Cursive script It includes two situations:

First, in ancient times when the characters were not unified, there would naturally be no unified and standardized cursive script, and the cursive script that appeared at that time belonged to the generalized cursive script;

Second, after the unification of words, in case of emergency, or when drafting documents and recording other people's conversations, the strokes are quick, the strokes of Lian Bi are omitted, and the scribbled words written by letters are not standardized. This scribble is difficult to communicate with, and even after a long time, it is difficult for the writer to recognize it. This scrawled word belongs to the generalized cursive script.

In order to facilitate writing, after a long process of convention, especially in the period of the transformation from seal script to official script, the popular cursive script has gradually increased and the writing method has gradually unified. After the process of quantitative change to qualitative change, a cursive script with statutes was finally produced, that is, Cao Zhang, which further developed into today's cursive script. In a narrow sense, cursive script refers to Cao Zhang and today's grass.

Cao Zhang's drafting method has basically taken shape. Conventional drafting methods are both normative and flexible, and their basic contents include the following three aspects:

First, cursive script is a kind of writing with simple structure and omitted strokes.

Second, cursive script takes stippling as the basic symbol, replacing radicals and a certain part of characters, which is the most symbolic style. Thirdly, the strokes of cursive script are interrelated and echo each other, which is convenient for writing quickly and expressing the writer's feelings.

It appeared earlier. From the early Han Dynasty, when writing official script, it was sometimes called "Caocao", also called "Cao Zhang", which was the cursive script of official script. Cao Zhang's words are independent and close to cursive, but the difficult words are not simplified much, and the writing style remains unchanged.

Later, regular script appeared, which evolved into "modern cursive script", that is, regular script cursive script. The writing speed is fast, and the upper and lower words are often written together, and the last pen echoes the beginning pen. Each word generally has a simplified method, but it is sometimes difficult for unfamiliar people to recognize it. Generally speaking, the cursive scripts of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi are also called modern cursive scripts.

The basic method to simplify modern cursive script is to replace the radicals of regular script with simple cursive symbols and substitute them into traditional regular script (although the cursive script appeared no later than regular script). Many regular script radicals can often be replaced by a cursive symbol, and the structure of the characters has also changed for convenience. So unfamiliar people are more difficult to identify. The arrangement of cursive symbols can be found in standard cursive scripts.

In the Tang Dynasty, cursive script has become a kind of calligraphy art, and it has evolved into "wild cursive script", and its function as a tool for transmitting information has weakened, becoming a work of art. It doesn't matter whether people can recognize what they are writing as long as they pay attention to the black and white arrangement of bookshelves and papers. In Weeds, there is a symbol of word association, that is, two words (common phrases) are written into one symbol.

At that time, writing was mostly vertical, and even the design of Chinese characters was similar. There are cursive couplets in Sudden Nodding and Nirvana.

Modern people generally learn cursive script from today's cursive script. The recognized cursive writing method is more than the standard cursive written by Mr. You Ren (with copybook of the same name).
