The word "ya" is written in connected characters:

It means asking about cursive writing.

Cursive script is a font of Chinese characters, characterized by simple structure and continuous strokes.

Cursive script, formed in the Han Dynasty, evolved on the basis of official script for the convenience of writing. There are Zhangcao, Jincao and Kuangcao. They feel beautiful in the madness.

"Shuowen Jiezi" says: "There was cursive script in the Han Dynasty." Cursive script began in the early Han Dynasty. Its characteristics are: keeping the outline of characters, destroying the rules of officialdom, letting people run around, and rushing to work. Because of the meaning of cursive creation, it is called cursive script.

The provinces and changes in Zhangcao's strokes have rules and regulations to follow. Representative works such as the Songjiang version of Wu Huangxiang's "Jijiuzhang" of the Three Kingdoms. Jincao's writing style is informal and smooth, and his representative works include "Chu Yue" and "De Shi" written by Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty. Kuangcao appeared in the Tang Dynasty, represented by Zhang Xu and Huaisu, with wild and uninhibited writing styles, and became an artistic creation that was completely divorced from practicality. From then on, cursive script was just a calligraphy work that calligraphers copied from Zhangcao, Jincao and Kuangcao. Kuangcao's representative works, such as "Belly Pain" by Zhang Xu of the Tang Dynasty and "Autobiography" by Huai Su, are all extant treasures.
