Wang Xizhi
The semi-cursive style was developed in the late-Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said that the style was derived from the clerical script by Liu Desheng due to the need for a faster way to write. The style was further developed by notable calligrapher Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi, also a calligrapher. Script in this style is written in a more curvaceous style than the regular script, however not as illegible as the cursive script.
