Literati running script originated in ancient China. It is a traditional calligraphy style that is different from regular script and official script. Running script emphasizes flexibility and changeable stroke characteristics, subverting traditional rules and constraints, and giving it the freedom of a literati. Therefore, the term "literati" is often used to describe those who advocate freedom and have independent thinking and creativity.
