"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 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.

The development of cursive script
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.
1, the early cursive script was parallel to the official script, generally called official script, but actually mixed with some forms of seal script.
2. The early cursive script broke the strict rules of official script, and it was a kind of scribble writing. It's called Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang is an elegant cursive style, which combines early cursive and Han Li. Its waves are distinct, the strokes are connected in waves, the characters are independent, the glyphs are all over the square, and the strokes are 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.
Today's grass evolved from Cao Zhang's efforts to pick up all the waves. Today's cursive script has been popular since Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, this kind of grass was described as "wild grass", also known as "big grass", with continuous strokes and changeable glyphs.
One of the main features of cursive symbols is the linking of strokes, including up-and-down linking and left-and-right linking. The lateral tendency of Li Hua's brushwork provides a foundation for the grass planting of the left and right hooks.
