The fonts of Chinese characters are divided into handwriting and printing.
Handwriting:
Handwriting refers to the handwritten form of characters, which is flexible and easy to express personal style. There are three kinds of calligraphy in modern China: regular script, cursive script and running script.
The strokes of handwritten Chinese characters are different due to the use of hard pen and soft pen, such as hard pen vertical strokes, and soft pen (such as writing brush) vertical strokes include short vertical strokes, long vertical strokes, hanging needle strokes and vertical strokes.
Print:
Printing refers to the printing form of characters. There are four types of modern Chinese characters: Song Style, Imitation Song Style, Regular Style and Black Style, among which Song Style and Regular Style are the most commonly used.
Before the arrangement of Chinese characters, there were great differences between the strokes and gestures of printed Song Dynasty and regular script, such as "namely" in printed regular script and "namely" in printed Song Dynasty. That is, "two glyphs.
In order to make the printed song typeface as consistent as possible with the printed regular script font, and to make the printed song typeface close to the printed regular script font in principle, People's Republic of China (PRC), the Ministry of Culture and the China Language Reform Commission (now the State Language Commission) issued the Font Table of Printed General Chinese Characters on June 30th, 1965, which standardized the fonts of printed general Chinese characters.
Generally speaking, strokes are based on mainstream fonts (Song Ti, Kai Ti, etc. ), and there are generally two classification methods of modern Chinese strokes: the rough classification divides strokes into eight categories (eight-character method) or five categories (calligraphy method); Detailed classification divides strokes into basic strokes and derived strokes (compound strokes).
When writing, strokes whose direction has not changed from beginning to end are called basic strokes (flat strokes), and those whose direction has changed are called derived strokes (compound strokes, that is, folding strokes).
Extended data:
Stroke (bǐ huà) usually refers to points and lines of various shapes that make up Chinese characters, such as horizontal (1), vertical (2), left (3), point (3), fold (3) and so on. It is the smallest Lian Bi unit of Chinese characters.
Stroke sometimes refers to the number of strokes, such as the Chinese character stroke index in front of a word book.
When expressing these two meanings, "stroke" can also be used as "stroke", but it is now standardized as "stroke"
In addition, strokes also refer to paintings with pen-and-ink strokes. This meaning is generally used in ancient books, but it is not commonly used or used now.
There are eight basic strokes in traditional Chinese characters, namely, "point (个), horizontal (个), vertical (个), left (个), folded (个) and hooked (个).
