The structural form of running script is generally not far from that of regular script. Although there are some changes in strokes, it is not as difficult to identify as cursive script. Running scripts are generally used as drafts or letters, but some famous calligraphers' running scripts are also treasured. The most famous running script is Preface to Lanting written by Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Running script pays attention to the ease and convenience of writing, and the lines pursue carefree and dynamic. It forms an indispensable part of the structure through the hairspring between stippling, which makes stippling connected from top to bottom, dense and substantial, and produces a flowing charm.
Although the stippling of running script is not as easy as cursive script, it jumps and rolls freely and is more vivid than regular script. The stippling of running script should avoid parallelism and similarity, and the brushwork and gesture are different, which is expensive to change.
