Anotations

Scope note:

Semicursive Chinese script that developed out of the Han dynasty lishu script at the same time that the standard kaishu script was evolving (1st-3rd century CE). The characters of Chinese running script are not abbreviated or connected, but strokes within the characters are often run together. The characteristic continuous brushstrokes of this script are more easily written than the more formal clerical and standard/regular script, but the running characters are more controlled and legible than Chinese cursive script. This is the most common script used in daily informal writing.
