Running Script Calligraphy by Chen Hongshou is a notable example of Chinese calligraphy that exemplifies the fluidity and expressiveness of the running script style, also known as xingshu. Chen Hongshou (1598–1652), also known by his courtesy name Laolian, was a prominent painter and calligrapher during the late Ming Dynasty. He is renowned for his versatility in various artistic disciplines, including painting, calligraphy, and poetry.

The running script style is characterized by its semi-cursive form, which strikes a balance between the rigid structure of regular script (kaishu) and the free-flowing nature of cursive script (caoshu). This style allows for greater expression and dynamism while maintaining legibility. Chen Hongshou's mastery of this script is evident in his ability to convey emotion and movement through the brushstrokes, creating a harmonious blend of form and content.

Chen's calligraphy is distinguished by its robust and vigorous strokes, which reflect his strong personal style and deep understanding of traditional Chinese aesthetics. His works often feature a rhythmic and spontaneous quality, achieved through the controlled yet fluid movement of the brush. This spontaneity is a hallmark of the running script, allowing the calligrapher to infuse the characters with a sense of life and energy.

In addition to his technical prowess, Chen Hongshou's calligraphy is also appreciated for its cultural and historical significance. As a scholar-artist, he was deeply influenced by the literati culture of his time, which valued the integration of artistic practice with intellectual and philosophical pursuits. His calligraphic works often incorporate classical Chinese poetry and prose, reflecting his erudition and literary talent.

Running Script Calligraphy by Chen Hongshou remains a significant contribution to the art of Chinese calligraphy, admired for its aesthetic beauty and expressive power. It continues to be studied and appreciated by scholars, artists, and enthusiasts of Chinese art and culture.
