Cursive script is a font of Chinese characters, which can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. In a broad sense, regardless of the age, all scribbled words are regarded as cursive. Narrow sense, that is, as a specific font, was formed in the Han Dynasty and evolved on the basis of official script in order to write simply.
About from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in order to distinguish it from the new cursive script at that time. The cursive script of the Han Dynasty was called Cao Zhang. The new cursive script is relatively called today's grass, which is divided into big grass (also called crazy grass) and small grass. It feels beautiful in madness. As Li Zhimin said: "Close to the pool, consider the reason, get the heart from things, realize the image, and then enter the beauty of cursive script."
Universal cursive script
Refers to the cursive writing style. Including two situations: first, in ancient times when the characters were not uniform, there would naturally be no unified and standardized cursive script, and the cursive script that appeared at that time belonged to the generalized cursive script.
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.
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 drafting method of self-cursive script has basically taken shape, and the established cursive script is both standardized and flexible. Its basic content includes the following three aspects: First, cursive script is a kind of character with omitted strokes and simple structure.
Second, cursive script takes stippling as the basic symbol, replacing radicals and a certain part of characters, which is the most symbolic style. Thirdly, the strokes of cursive script are interrelated and echo each other, which is convenient for writing quickly and expressing the writer's feelings.
