Which came earlier, running script, official script, regular script and cursive script?

The order is: official script, cursive script, regular script and running script.

First, official script was founded in Qin Dynasty and developed from seal script. There are Qin Li and Han Li. Han Li reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, inherited the tradition of seal script and started the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Secondly, cursive script was formed in the Han Dynasty and evolved from official script for simplicity.

Thirdly, regular script gradually evolved from official script, becoming more simplified and more horizontal and vertical.

Four, running script is a general term, divided into running script and running script. It is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, a font between regular script and cursive script, in order to make up for the shortcomings of slow writing speed and illegible cursive script.

The relationship between each other:

The first is the relationship of mutual inheritance.

For example, cursive script evolved from official script; Regular script is also gradually evolved from official script; Running script developed and originated on the basis of regular script.

Second, the relationship of mutual reference.

Ruxing script is developed on the basis of regular script, but at the same time it absorbs the characteristics of cursive script.

Third, with the passage of time, each has its own evolution.

For example, the development of cursive script can be divided into three stages: early cursive script, Cao Zhang cursive script and modern cursive script.

1, the early cursive script was parallel to the official script, generally called official script, but actually mixed with some forms of seal script.

2. Cao Zhang is an elegant cursive style, which combines early cursive and Han Li.

Today's grass evolved from Cao Zhang's efforts to pick up all the waves. Today's cursive script has been popular since Wei and Jin Dynasties.

4. In the Tang Dynasty, today's cursive writing is more indulgent, with continuous strokes and changeable glyphs. It is called "crazy grass", also known as "big grass".

Today, the aesthetic value of cursive script far exceeds its practical value.
