"running hand script" کی تعریف اور معنی

What is "running hand script"?

Running hand script, also known as semi-cursive script or "xingshu" in Chinese, is a fluid and more relaxed style of Chinese calligraphy. It lies between regular script and cursive script, with characters that are slightly connected, allowing for quicker writing while still being relatively easy to read. Strokes in running hand script are often simplified, and some characters may appear more rounded or abbreviated, but the basic structure remains recognizable. Developed during the Han dynasty, this style is used for personal writing, letters, and informal documents, combining elegance with practicality in Chinese calligraphy.
