What are the characteristics of official script?

1, the left and right sides of the flat font are separated, which is contrary to the normal vertical trend of the characters, and is changed to the horizontal (left and right) trend, resulting in the contraction of the vertical trend of the flat font and strokes and strengthening the distribution of the horizontal trend.

2. The swallowtail of the silkworm head is a typical feature of the official script pen, especially in the official script, the main pen is horizontal, and almost all paintings are used in this way.

3. Li's straightness often has obvious ups and downs and is full of vitality.

4. Change the picture to a dot, and change the connection to a disconnection, that is, the use point is just a dot.

5. When writing official script, there is no trace of lifting the pen vertically according to the change of thickness, but official script deliberately emphasizes the action of lifting the pen, resulting in significant changes in the thickness and inheritance of the stroke trajectory, which is clearly reflected in the three processes of starting, walking and receiving the pen.

The origin of official script

Official script is also called "official character" and "ancient book". It is a font produced on the basis of seal script to meet the needs of convenient writing. The seal script is simplified, and the uniform circle lines of the seal script are changed into straight strokes, which is convenient for writing. This is a font created in prison, which is divided into "Qin Li" and "Han Li". The appearance of official script is a great change in ancient calligraphy.

Official script is a common solemn font in Chinese characters, with a slightly flat writing effect, long horizontal drawing and short straight drawing, and pays attention to "swallow tail of silkworm head" and "twists and turns". It originated in the Qin Dynasty and reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Calligraphy is known as "Han Li Tang Kai".
