Abstract

Mi Fu's aesthetic view on cursive script is very clear, that is, simple and elegant. Simple and elegant precisely requires a kind of natural and drifting quality as ancient people. This has created his unique small cursive script which seems contradictory with his running script creation, but the fact is that this aesthetic promoted the maturity and subsequent development of his running script style. The aesthetic of simple and elegant has a great significance on being able to see massive ruins of ancient calligraphy today.
