Introduction to regular script
Regular script, a font of Chinese characters, is also called regular script, regular script, original script and regular script. It gradually evolved from official script, becoming more simplified and more horizontal and vertical. The book Ci Hai is interpreted as "square in shape and straight in brushwork, which can be used as a model".
This kind of Chinese character has the correct font and is a modern popular handwritten orthographic Chinese character.
Regular script is also the official name. In the book "Two Chapters of Guan Bai in the New Tang Dynasty", there are 20 regular calligraphers in the Provincial History Museum and 18 regular calligraphers.
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 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. Big seal script is relative to small seal script.
Generally, all the ancient Chinese characters before Xiao Zhuan are collectively called 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.
It is standardized and unified for the convenience of writing based on the characters of Qin State and referring to the characters of other vassal states. This is the first standardized calligraphy style in China's calligraphy history.
