The Independent Strokes of Cursive Script in the Song Dynasty and Their Influence on Literati Painting

Shiyue Liang

Abstract

From mid-Tang to Northern Song, cursive script underwent pivotal transformations. This paper explores Song cursive's innovation and its intrinsic link to literati painting evolution, focusing on cursive strokes as literati painting's core expressive language. It examines
the interplay between cursive art and literati painting via brush techniques, investigates drivers of Song cursive's transformation, reveals how
stroke independence shaped literati painting, and elaborates on calligraphy-painting integrationspecifically, how stroke independence enriched literati painting's composition and conceptual depth. Grounded in Tang-Song cultural transformation, it offers insights into inter-artistic
connections and art-socio-cultural links.
