Exaggeration and restraint are the requirements of cursive script for running script.

Running script is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, and it is a font between regular script and cursive script, which is divided into running script and cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script, and it is very practical and artistic.

Running script is a writing style between regular script and cursive script, which appeared in the late Western Han Dynasty and the early Eastern Han Dynasty. The name of the running script first appeared in Wei Heng's Four Books in the Western Jin Dynasty: Zhong (Yao) and Hu (Zhao) all studied calligraphy under Zhang Huaiguan's Broken Book in the Tang Dynasty: "The calligrapher was made by Liu Desheng."

With the vigorous development of contemporary calligraphy art, the exploration and innovation of running script creation has set off wave after wave of upsurge, showing a diversified and prosperous scene. In the complicated heat wave of calligraphy, the author makes rational exploration with his own understanding and persistent pursuit of calligraphy, and summarizes some preliminary experiences and insights from years of practice.

In the vast treasure house of calligraphy art, running script is undoubtedly the most beautiful and rich treasure. Among them, Wang Xizhi created Preface to Lanting, which is known as the world's first running script; Yan Zhenqing created the second running script in the world and the manuscript of Mourning My Nephew. Su Shi created the third running script and cold food stickers in the world; There are thin yuan iron created by Wang Xun and so on.
