The generation of cursive script is that in Qin Dynasty, wars were frequent and urgent, battles and attacks were made simultaneously, military books crossed, and homing pigeons flew. Due to military situation, it took time to seal the script, so it was urgent to save the situation and pretended to be a cursive script. The cursive script created by Zhang Zhi at the end of Han Dynasty changed the original practical cursive script into a more ornamental one.

The figure of cursive art is embodied in two aspects: the beauty of surface appearance and the beauty of deep implication. Some people also regard the beauty of cursive art as ten points: the strokes are flying, the brushwork is interesting, the structure is changeable, the composition is vivid and the lines are beautiful.

it is said that the blood is connected, the charm is natural, the transformation is ups and downs, the momentum is magnificent, and the singularity is chic. In a word, the beauty of cursive art is like a poem without words, a dance without movement, a colorful painting without colors, and a musical melody without words.

Development of cursive script:

From the development of cursive script, the development of cursive script can be divided into three stages: early cursive script, zhangcao script and modern script.

The early cursive script was parallel to the official script, commonly called official script, but actually mixed with some forms of seal script.

The early cursive script broke the strict rules of the official script and was a sloppy writing. It is called "Zhangcao". Zhangcao is an elegant cursive style that blends early cursive script with han li. Its waves are distinct, the strokes are linked in a wave shape, the characters are independent, the glyphs are all over the square, and the strokes are horizontal. Zhangcao was the most popular in the Han and Wei Dynasties, but it was revived in the Yuan Dynasty and transformed into the Ming Dynasty.

at the end of the Han dynasty, Zhangcao was further "grassed", and the strokes of Lishu were removed, so that the strokes of the upper and lower characters were connected, and the radicals were simplified and borrowed, which was called "modern grass". Today's grass evolved from Zhang Cao, and the calligraphy style of today's grass has been popular since Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, this grass was written more indulgently, with continuous strokes and varied glyphs, which was called "Crazy Grass", also known as Big Grass.

Today, the aesthetic value of cursive script far exceeds its practical value. The cursive script is to connect the words with dots according to a certain law, with simple structure, and it is borrowed by the side, and it is not arbitrary scribbling.
