Anotations

Scope note:

Specifically refers to a distinctive style of script having connecting strokes between characters and extremely fluid writing style, including the following distinctive characteristics: radicals are simplified into symbols or marks and one may stand for another; strokes are continuous and structures of characters are relatively plain; the text includes blank spaces between characters and rows; changes may occur in the thickness of each brushstroke and darkness of ink. It has been regarded as the script that can best represent a calligrapher's personal expressions and emotions.
