"Shuo Wen Jie Zi" says: "There are cursive scripts in Han Xing". The cursive script began in the early Han dynasty, and its characteristics are: keeping the outline of characters, damaging the official rules, rushing away and rushing away quickly. Because of the meaning of grass, it is called cursive script. The drafting method of self-made grass has basically taken shape, and the established grass method is both standardized and flexible.

The development of 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. It's called Cao Zhang.
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. By the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Zhang was further "grassed", and the strokes of the upper and lower characters were connected together, and the radicals were also simplified.
Today, the aesthetic value of cursive script far exceeds its practical value. ?
