Wang Xizhi's appreciation of the classic cursive script is a font of Chinese characters, which is characterized by simple structure and continuous strokes. Formed in the Han Dynasty, it evolved on the basis of official script for the convenience of writing. The cursive script is divided into Cao Zhang and today's grass, and today's grass is divided into big grass (also called crazy grass) and small grass, which feels beautiful in madness.
Wang Xizhi's cursive script is good-looking, and his strokes have become rules to follow, such as the urgent chapter of the Three Kingdoms Wu in Songjiang version. Today's grass is eclectic and fluent, and its representative works include Wang Xizhi's "The First Moon" and Jin Dynasty's "Getting Time". Mad grass appeared in the Tang Dynasty, represented by Zhang Xu and Huai Su, and its brushwork was wild and uninhibited, which became an artistic creation completely divorced from practicality. From then on, cursive script was only the works of calligraphers imitating Cao Zhang, Cao Jin and Kuangcao. The representative works of Weeds, such as Abdominal Pain by Zhang Xu in the Tang Dynasty and Autobiographical Postscript by Huai Su, are all existing treasures.
From the development of cursive script, the development of cursive script can be divided into three stages: early cursive script, Cao Zhang cursive script and modern cursive script.
Early cursive script and official script were parallel, generally called official script, but in fact some forms of seal script were mixed.
The early cursive script broke the strict rules of official script and was a hasty writing. What's your name? Cao Zhang? . Cao Zhang is an elegant cursive style, which combines early cursive and Han Li, and has obvious waves and connected strokes. Wave? The form and character are independent, and the shape is all over the square, and the pen is horizontal. Cao Zhang was the most popular in the Han and Wei Dynasties, but it was revived in the Yuan Dynasty and transformed into the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Zhang went further? Grass? Without the strokes of official script, the strokes of upper and lower characters are connected together, and the radicals are simply borrowed. What is this called? Grass today? . Today's cursive script evolved from Cao Zhang and has been popular since Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, cursive script was more indulgent, with continuous strokes and changeable glyphs. Weeds? , also known as big grass.
