1. Official script: Silkworm head and swallow tail, Zhongzheng Pinghe
Official script was founded in the Qin Dynasty. It is said that Cheng Miao was the official. The Han official script reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, inheriting the tradition of seal script. It started in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and had a considerable influence on later calligraphy. In the calligraphy circle, it is known as "Han Li Tang Kai".
2. Cursive writing: wild and unrestrained, flying and elegant
Any scrawled words are counted as cursive writing. In a narrow sense, that is, as a specific font, it was formed in the Han Dynasty and evolved on the basis of official script for the convenience of writing.
3. Running script: flowing clouds and flowing water, stretched and stylish
It is divided into two types: running regular script and running cursive script. It was developed on the basis of regular script and is a font between regular script and cursive script. It was created to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the difficulty of identifying cursive script.
4. Regular script: regular script with sharp edges and corners
Also called regular script, real script, regular script, and small script. It gradually evolved from the official script and became more simplified, horizontal and vertical. The book "Cihai" explains that it has "a square shape and straight strokes, which can be used as a model." This kind of Chinese character font is correct and is the modern traditional handwritten Chinese character.

Writing method:
1. Behind the back
After writing many times, according to the words left in the mind and memory The original image is written again.
2. Creation
Based on the constantly revised writing habits and writing style, new works are written by re-selecting the writing content and expression style.
3. Writing letters
When writing large characters over three inches, you should stand up and write with your arms cantilevered, so that you can use your upper hand to take care of the whole picture. When standing, keep your feet firmly planted, step your right foot out slightly into a T-step, stretch your right body slightly forward, lean your waist slightly forward, hold the table with your left hand and press the paper, or stretch it backward.
4. Kneeling script
When writing large characters more than two feet long, you can kneel or lie on the ground to write, so that it is easier to understand the structure of the characters. The method is to kneel on the ground with your left knee, bend your right knee to support your body, and straighten your left hand to support the ground. This method bends the body too much and is difficult to achieve. If possible, it is best to prepare a short desk for writing.
