Running Style (Xíngshū)

Chinese calligraphy running script approximates normal handwriting in which strokes and, more rarely, characters are allowed to run into one another. In writing in the running script, the brush leaves the paper less often than in the regular script. Characters appear less angular and rounder. The characters are also more bold. In general, an educated person in China or Japan can read characters written in the running script with relative ease, but may have occasional difficulties with certain idiosyncratic shapes. Some of the best examples of semi-cursive can be found in the work of Wang Xizhi (321-379) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
