Generally speaking, it can be divided into five fonts: seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. Some people will think, should we learn calligraphy from seal script and learn cursive script step by step according to the evolution of characters? But in fact, these five fonts did not appear in this order. First, seal script, then official script and cursive script. Yes, there were cursive scripts when there were official scripts, but the cursive script at that time was called Cao Zhang, and the characters were not written together, and there were some official script strokes. Then regular script, then running script and cursive script, which is what we see now.
Seal script, official script and regular script are all suitable for beginners without foundation. Although running script is ok, it is not recommended for beginners to start with running script, let alone cursive script. Basically, no calligraphy teacher will let beginners start with cursive script.
