Xing Style, the Semi-cursive Script (One of the Prettiest Chinese Calligraphy Styles)
The Semi-cursive Script (also called Running Script) approximates normal handwriting in which strokes and, more rarely, characters are allowed to run into one another. In writing in the Semi-cursive Script, the brush leaves the paper less often than in the Regular Script. Characters appear less angular and rounder.
The xingshu or running hand is something between the regular and the cursive scripts When carefully written with distinguishable strokes, the xingshu characters will be very close to the regular style; when swiftly executed, they will approach the caoshu or cursive hand. Chinese masters have always compared with vivid aptness the three styles of writing-kaishu, xingshu and caoshu-to people standing, walking and running.
