As a writing form of Chinese characters, cursive script has been highly sought after for its unique cursive style since ancient times. In this 700-word space, I will introduce you to the historical origin, characteristics and charm of cursive script.
The cursive script originated in ancient China and can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to write daily documents and letters quickly, the literati at that time began to simplify and connect the glyphs. With the passage of time, this simplified and continuous writing form gradually evolved into cursive script.
The cursive script is characterized by both form and spirit, that is, the font is simplified but artistic. Compared with the rigor and neatness of block letters, cursive writing is more casual and free, giving people a feeling of chic and elegant. The strokes of cursive script are mainly continuous writing, pen returning and pen pulling, with fast writing speed and few pauses between lines, so it is also called "cursive script".
The charm of cursive script lies in artistry and individuality. Cursive script is different from the regularity and standardization of block letters, and everyone's cursive style is different, which reflects the writer's personal feelings and personality characteristics. The font of cursive script can be changed at will, and it does not stick to the traditional classic norms, giving people a unique aesthetic feeling.
Cursive script also occupies an important position in calligraphy art, and many famous calligraphers like to write famous works with cursive brushwork and skills. The unique charm and fluency of cursive script make it an important form of calligraphy creation, which is loved by calligraphy lovers and collectors.
Besides the art of calligraphy, cursive script is also widely used in daily life. For example, many people like to write their names, signatures and inscriptions in grass to show their unique personality and artistic atmosphere. In addition, cursive script is often used in the design and decoration of Four Treasures of the Study, which adds a sense of culture and art.
