1. In a sense, cursive script comes first, then regular script. Cursive script originated earlier than regular script, and evolved from official script in Qin and Han dynasties for the convenience of writing on bamboo slips. Therefore, the first meaning of cursive script is to facilitate writing.

2. As a kind of calligraphy, cursive script can fully express the responsibilities of characters. Refer to Yu Youren's Standard Cursive Script, and if you want to understand cursive script a little, you can also refer to Cao Ji Bai Yun Ge, which describes the basic brushwork and the rules of word formation in the form of poetry. The composition of cursive script has the same strict writing rules as regular script.

3. Japan uses Chinese cursive script as phonetic notation for Chinese characters. As can be seen from the following figure, 5 sounds of Hiragana in Japanese are all from Chinese cursive script, and their pronunciations are similar to those of Chinese characters, which further proves that cursive script can fulfill the duties of writing, and there will be no ambiguity between words.

4. Then why do people think cursive script is messy now? Is it scrawled? Because with the popularization of computer technology and the promotion of regular script characters in society, we write regular script from primary school, and the visual feedback from computer monitors is also regular script. We subjectively and objectively accept the writing method based on regular script, and lose the ability to recognize and read cursive script, and then lose the ability to appreciate cursive script.

In addition, there are some bad style in contemporary calligraphy, and the cursive works written are not well organized and wanton, which makes cursive script, a relatively rigorous art form, become random graffiti (few people can understand it anyway), which also causes some people's prejudice against cursive script.

Foolish thought: cursive script is the best expression of emotion among the five major scripts. It can reproduce the pen tip's prancing, flipping, scurrying and lagging (which requires a certain calligraphy skill) from the works, which will lead to flying white, faint ink, gossamer, etc. It is difficult for regular script and running script to appreciate the works from different angles of time and space.

5. Although the subject does not require pasting famous works, it is indispensable from the perspective of cursive appreciation, and the premise of debating beauty and ugliness is to know what beauty is.
