Abstract

This paper studies the cursive script of characters such as 手(Hands), 攴(slaps), 攵(slaps), 支(supports), 又(hands), 爪(nails), 寸(short length), 厶(arms), 力(strength), 文(words), 戈(weapons) and compound characters.
 This paper compares these characters with similar shapes. The meaning and shape of ancient characters have influenced cursive writing. Just organize it briefly.
 Words(‘手’) express the shape of fingers and fists. The shape of cursive script is affected by this. The character(‘攴’, ‘攵’) represents the appearance of holding a stick in hand. ‘戈’ is a weapon used in war. So these words replaced each other in cursive script. The character(‘攴’) appears alternately with this character( ‘力’字, ‘又’字, ‘’字, ‘支’字, ‘弓’字, ‘攵’字, ‘文’字 ). One of these phenomena is that the characters are similar, which is why they appear in cursive script. This character(‘’字, ‘弓’字) is influenced by that character(‘乃’字, ‘’字, ‘’字) and appears in cursive script. The cursive script of this character(‘又’) has also been replaced by that character(‘寸’). Or multiple of these words(‘又’) have been weakened. The cursive strokes of this character(‘爪’) have weakened. Elaborate or express in two points.
 This word(‘寸’) has a curved tail and then narrates together with dots. Or change the position of the point to express it. This character(‘對’) divides the upper part of that character(‘丵’) into three dots according to the ancient script shape. This character(‘厶’) is an old version of this character(‘厷’). This character(‘厷’) appears with that character(‘九’). The reason is that(‘九’) in ancient Chinese characters, this character(‘九’) presents the shape of a human arm, and that character(‘肱’) also presents the shape of a bent arm, so it appears alternately. Because these characters have a common curved shape, which character(‘厷’) is used instead of this one(‘弓’) to express. You can see the appearance of ‘厶’, ‘厷’, ‘弓’, ‘’ from the cursive script. This word(‘力’) expresses human muscles and tendons. These words(攵, 攴, 力) related to hands or arms are mixed together for use. This character(‘文’) also has a similar shape to that character(‘攵’), so it will also appear in cursive script. According to these contents, the characters are influenced by similar characters, ancient characters, and variant characters, appearing in cursive script characters. Exploring similar or ancient character forms can provide a lot of information for distinguishing cursive script forms. By using it, it is possible to provide rich explanations for more glyphs. I hope this will be of great help in understanding the shapes of cursive script.
