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.

The generation of cursive script is due to the frequent wars in the Qin Dynasty, the combination of war and attack, the exchange of military scripts, and the flying pigeon passing books. Due to the military situation, seal script is time-consuming and eager to save the situation, pretending to be a cursive script. The cursive script created by Zhang Zhi at the end of Han Dynasty changed the original practical cursive script into a more ornamental cursive script.
Cursive script has four characteristics: illness, escape, rhyme and strangeness.
This disease is like a snake in the grass and an electric shock in the sky. Escape is like a flock of cranes frolicking in the sea and dancing with phoenix for nine days. Rhyme is like snow and fog covers the bright moon. Strangely, clouds gather and water disperse, and landslides and waves rush. If the beauty is graceful, the vines are numerous. Want to stop, want to stop. Like a willow in the wind, like a glimpse. Its shape is not good, and its manners are myriad.
The writing skill of cursive script is the embodiment of a person's comprehensive ability of calligraphy. Skilled in brushwork, ingenious, and without a solid foundation in calligraphy, it is impossible to have any practical significance by relying solely on theoretical know-how. There is no other way to write cursive except to practice hard.
In the Tang Dynasty, cursive script, represented by Zhang Xu and Huai Su, became an artistic creation completely divorced from practicality. Cursive script, also known as big grass, is bold and unrestrained, with continuous momentum, such as Zhang Xu's Broken Monument with Thousand Words, Four Ancient Poems in the Tang Dynasty and Huai Su's Autobiographical Notes. Zhang Xu is known as the "sage of grass" in history, but Sun's is different and has no connection.
