Calligraphy is a unique and flexible writing tool in China, which is formed by artistic conception and mobilizing artistic techniques according to the characteristics of Chinese character modeling. So "calligraphy" itself has no other name.
Since ancient times, people have regarded the words written by calligraphers as "Mo Bao".

Wen Shu is the script used by the ancient Qin State, and it is the predecessor of Xiao Zhuan. Because there are 223 words in the History Book written by Qin people in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is called Wen Shu.

You don't have to fold at the turning point of the stroke. In addition, the style of running script is not fixed in Oracle bones and Zhong Ding, and the left and right lines are not limited. Since the Qin Dynasty, everything has gone from right to left, without exception.

Running script is generally written smoothly and conveniently on the basis of regular script, which is not as difficult to distinguish vertically as cursive script, but also more vivid and concise than regular script. It is a widely used handwritten character in society. Writing a running script without stopping, writing a paper without lettering, and turning over the pressure lightly, like flowing water, without any interruption, will be eternal for business.
