== Chinese == {{main|Cursive script (East Asia)}} Cursive forms of [[Chinese written language|Chinese characters]] are used in calligraphy; "running script" is the [[Semi-cursive script|semi-cursive]] form and "[[cursive script (East Asia)|rough script]]" (mistakenly called "grass script" due to literal misinterpretation) is the cursive. The running aspect of this script has more to do with the formation and connectedness of strokes ''within'' an individual character than with connections between characters as in Western connected cursive. The latter are rare in [[hanzi]] and in the derived Japanese [[kanji]] characters which are usually well separated by the writer. <gallery> File:Semi-cursive style Calligraphy of Chinese poem by Mo Ruzhong.jpg|Semi-cursive style Calligraphy of Chinese poem by Mo Ruzheng File:CMOC Treasures of Ancient China exhibit - classical poem in cursive script.jpg|Classical poem in cursive script at Treasures of Ancient China exhibit File:Cursive characters dragon.jpg|Eight cursive characters for dragon File:Calligraphy of Cursive and Semi-cursive styleby Dong Qichang.jpg|Calligraphy of both cursive and semi-cursive by [[Dong Qichang]] File:Quatrain on Heavenly Mountain.jpg|Four columns in cursive script [[quatrain]] poem, Quatrain on Heavenly Mountain.
