Appreciation of Wang Xizhi's exquisite cursive works
There are rules to follow in the changes of strokes, such as the urgent chapter of the Three Kingdoms Wu in Songjiang Edition. Today's grass is eclectic and fluent, and its representative works include "Early of the Month" and "Timing" by Wang Xizhi in the Jin Dynasty. Mad grass appeared in the Tang Dynasty, represented by Zhang Xu and Huai Su, and its brushwork was wild and uninhibited, which became an artistic creation completely divorced from practicality. From then on, cursive script was only the works of calligraphers imitating Cao Zhang, Cao Jin and Kuangcao. The representative works of Weeds, such as Abdominal Pain by Zhang Xu in the Tang Dynasty and Autobiographical Postscript by Huai Su, are all existing treasures.

Today, the aesthetic value of cursive script far exceeds its practical value. Cursive script is to connect words with dots according to certain rules. It has a simple structure and is used while borrowing, not scribbling at will. One of the main features of cursive symbols is the linking of strokes, including up-and-down linking and left-and-right linking. The lateral tendency of Li Hua's brushwork provides a foundation for the grass planting of the left and right hooks. Cao Zhang's brushwork is "I", while modern Cao Cao's brushwork is "S". This is the fundamental difference between the two. Indulge with a pen, draw messy, also called big grass or crazy grass.
