Ringshu is a general term, which is divided into two types: running regular script and running cursive script. It was developed on the basis of official script and is a font between regular script and cursive script. It was created to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the difficulty of identifying cursive script. "Xing" means "walking", so it is not as sloppy as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. In essence, it is the cursiveization of regular script or the regularization of cursive script. Those with more regular script than cursive script are called "Xing Kai", and those with more cursive script than regular script are called "Xing Cao". Running script has high practicality and artistry, while regular script is a text symbol, and its practicality and artistry are relatively insufficient. In comparison, cursive writing is highly artistic but relatively lacking in practicality.
