Introduction: Regular script is also called regular script, real script and official script. It gradually evolved from official script, becoming more simplified and more horizontal and vertical. Ci Hai is interpreted as "square, straight and exemplary". This kind of Chinese character has the correct font and is a modern popular handwritten orthographic Chinese character.
Second, the evolution and development of regular script
Now commonly known as regular script, it evolved from Han Li, and can be divided into Weibei and Tang Kai according to the period.
Weibei refers to the calligraphy style in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It can be said to be a transitional calligraphy style from official script to regular script. Zhong Zhishuai's "Learning Calligraphy" said: "Wei Bei's calligraphy can be seen in the old style of Han and Qin Dynasties, but since Sui and Tang Dynasties." Weibei is often written in the official script of Han Dynasty, so its regular script nature is still immature, but it is precisely because of this immaturity that a hundred flowers blossom and its posture is peculiar, forming a unique beauty. Kang Youwei named it "Ten Beauty in Weibei".
Regular script in a narrow sense refers to Tang Kai, which gradually matured after the Tang Dynasty. Its representatives are Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Qi in the early Tang Dynasty, Yan Zhenqing in the middle Tang Dynasty and Liu Gongquan in the late Tang Dynasty. We often say that the four masters of regular script "Yan Liu Ou Zhao", the first three are all from the Tang Dynasty.
By the end of the Tang Dynasty, regular script had reached its peak and its style was too regular, so it gradually declined. In the Song Dynasty, Su Shi, with his poetic demeanor, created a rich and naive "Su Ti", which can be called "the first in the Song Dynasty".
At the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Mengfu formed "Zhao Ti", that is, "Zhao" among the four families, but "Zhao Ti" should strictly belong to a regular script, not a regular script, so beginners generally choose from "Yan", which is also recognized as the correct way to learn books.
