Regular script is also the official name. There are 20 regular calligraphers and 18 regular calligraphers in the provincial history museum of New Tang Book. Regular script, as a formal name, is also called regular script player, who is in charge of calligraphy and writing, and is listed in the same institution because of the different specific division of labor. "Tongdian Official Twenty-two" records that the regular script writer is an outstanding official. There were no regular script players in Song Dynasty, only regular script.
Regular script is also called regular script, real script and official script. Li Shu, founded by Cheng Miao, has gradually evolved and become more simplified and level. Ci Hai is interpreted as "square and straight, which can be used as a model." Hence the name regular script. It began at the end of the Han dynasty and has been popular until modern times.
The appearance of regular script follows closely Han Li's composition and pursues the further development of formal beauty. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty, the writing of Chinese characters gradually changed from wave to wave, and became "left" (dot), "sweep" (long left), "peck" (short left) and "lift" (straight hook). Such as Wuwei medical bamboo slips and Juyan Han bamboo slips. Regular script is characterized by neat rules and is a model in fonts, so it is called regular script and has been used until modern times.
Regular script has the meaning of model, which was first mentioned in Zhang Huaiguan's Shu Duan. People in the Six Dynasties still used it habitually, such as Yang Xin's Cai, and On the Biography of Wei Shou, saying, "Shou is a general, and Jingzhao people are good at regular script." That's the abbreviation of "eight-block method", which didn't replace the name of the official book until the Northern Song Dynasty, and its content was obviously different from the ancient name. There is probably an example of the above.
Regular script is the most popular script in China feudal society from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Jin and Tang Dynasties. Before the appearance of regular script, China calligraphy had produced three styles: Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan and Li Shu. Generally speaking, the ancient characters before Xiao Zhuan are collectively referred to as Da Zhuan, including Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions and six languages except Qin in the Warring States Period. Xiao Zhuan is a popular script after Qin unified China. On the basis of Qin script, refer to other vassal scripts. In order to facilitate writing, it is standardized and unified. This is the first standardized regular script in the history of calligraphy in China. Official script is another representative character after Xiao seal, which is based on Xiao seal. The appearance of official script is a great revolution of Chinese characters. Its significance lies not only in the symbolization of Chinese characters, but also in changing the writing style and aesthetic trend of Chinese characters, thus laying a foundation for the emergence of regular script calligraphy art and further opening up a broad world for the development and prosperity of China calligraphy art. Li Zhimin, a pioneer and professor of Peking University, believed that the unification of six languages by Qin Shihuang was of positive significance to the social progress at that time, but it was not necessarily conducive to the development of calligraphy art.
Therefore, in various calligraphy gardens in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the art of regular script (called official script at that time, that is, assisting seal script to write faster) was directly bred. According to its law, the development history of regular script in China can be divided into four periods: the germination period of regular script-Qin and Han dynasties, the development period of regular script-Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperity period of regular script-Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, and the maturity period of regular script-Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Song Xuanhe's Book Score: "In the early Han Dynasty, Wang Cizhong began to use official script as regular script." The regular script here actually refers to the eight-part essay created by Wang Cizhong, not the so-called regular script in modern times. He added: "On the tomb of Confucius, a regular script tree planted by Zi Gongzhi has straight and unyielding branches." The strokes of regular script are concise and refreshing, and must be like the branches of regular script trees.
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. Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, with his poetic manner, 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. Next, I will compare the three-body from many angles, and some angles also refer to Wei Bei and Zhao Ti, so as to fully understand the regular script individuals. The above comparison focuses on the style characteristics of Yan, which is influenced by both the times and personal factors. For example, the European style was formed in the early Tang Dynasty and was greatly influenced by Weibei. Influenced by the aesthetic view that fat is the beauty in Tang Dynasty, the face is full. And Liu Ti, because of Liu Gongquan's integrity, "people are upright and upright."
