Weibei is a regular script. Weibei is the general name for writing and carving stones in the Northern Dynasties during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420-588 AD), with the Northern Wei Dynasty as the most refined, which can be roughly divided into four types: inscriptions, epitaphs, statues and cliff carvings. Calligraphy at this time is a transitional calligraphy system.

Wei Bei is a kind of regular script, which is called the three regular script fonts together with Wei Kai, Jin Dynasty regular script and Tang Dynasty regular script. Weibei showed some transitional factors in the development of official script to typical regular script. Regular script existed in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and Zhong You's Epiphany Table, Wang Xizhi's Huang Tingjing and other regular script works are all mature regular scripts.
However, after a large number of intellectuals in the Western Jin Dynasty crossed the south with the Jin Dynasty, the calligraphy style in the Northern Dynasty was quite different from that in the Southern Dynasty. Most of the existing inscriptions in the Northern Dynasties are written by anonymous folk calligraphers, which is naturally different from the so-called "verve" calligraphy style of scholars in the Southern Dynasties. Zhong You and Wang Xizhi completed part of the process from official to official.
The folk calligraphers in the Northern Wei Dynasty did not inherit too many achievements because of the southward crossing of the Jin Dynasty, but followed the development track of the original folk calligraphy, and more directly evolved from the official script in the Han and Wei Dynasties. Compared with Kincaid, Tang Kai paid attention to statutes, and his writing style tended to be standardized and unified, while Wei Bei used his pen freely, and his writing style followed the trend.
