The modern handwritten form of Chinese characters mainly consists of three kinds: Regular Script, Cursive Script, and Running Script. The handwritten form of the Chinese character is different because of the use of hard and soft pens, such as the use of hard pens to write vertical strokes, and the use of soft pens (such as brushes) can also be divided into short vertical, long vertical, hanging needle vertical and vertical pendant dew vertical and other forms of strokes.
