===Styles=== Cursive styles such as ''[[Semi-cursive script|{{transliteration|zh|xíngshū}}]]'' ({{lang|zh-TW|行書}}/{{lang|zh|行书}})(semi-cursive or running script) and ''[[Grass script|{{transliteration|zh|cǎoshū}}]]'' ({{lang|zh-TW|草書}}/{{lang|zh|草书}})(cursive, rough script, or grass script) are less constrained and faster, where movements made by the writing implement are more visible. These styles' stroke orders vary more, sometimes creating radically different forms. They are descended from the clerical script, in the same time as the regular script ([[Han dynasty]]), but ''{{transliteration|zh|xíngshū}}'' and ''{{transliteration|zh|cǎoshū}}'' were used for personal notes only, and never used as a standard. The ''{{transliteration|zh|cǎoshū}}'' style was highly appreciated during [[Emperor Wu of Han]]'s reign (140–187 CE).{{citation needed|date=January 2023}} Examples of modern printed styles are [[Ming (typeface)|Song]] from the [[Song dynasty]]'s [[Four Great Inventions of ancient China#Printing|printing press]], and [[East Asian sans-serif typeface|sans-serif]]. These are not considered traditional styles, and are normally not written. {{Clear}}
