Semi-cursive script (Xingshu)

Semi-cursive script, known as Xingshu in Chinese, is a style of writing that blends elements of both cursive and regular script. It allows for faster handwriting while maintaining legibility. Often used in calligraphy and daily writing, Xingshu features more fluid and connected strokes compared to standard scripts. Characters are simplified, and some strokes may be omitted or altered for efficiency. This style is popular among students and professionals because it balances ease of writing with readability, making it a practical choice for expressive writing and artistic endeavors.
