How many fonts are there in a brush?

There are five kinds of brushes, namely official script, seal script, regular script, running script and cursive script.

First, the official script style:

Lishu, also called Han Li, is a solemn font commonly used in Chinese characters. Its writing effect is slightly wide and flat, the horizontal painting is long and straight, and it is rectangular, paying attention to "silkworm head and goose tail" and "twists and turns". Lishu originated in (Qin Dynasty) and was compiled by Cheng Miao. It reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which had a great influence on later calligraphy. Calligraphy is called "Tang Kai of Han Li".

Second, seal script:

Seal script is a general term for big seal script and small seal script. The brushwork is thin and powerful, with many straight lines. There are Fang Bi, round pen and sharp pen, and there are many "hanging needles" for writing. Big seal script refers to inscriptions on bronze inscriptions, bronzes and six-country scripts, which retain the obvious characteristics of ancient hieroglyphics. Xiao Zhuan, also known as "Qin Zhuan", is a commonly used script in Qin State, which is characterized by its uniform font and easy to write in regular script.

Third, regular script:

Regular script is also called regular script, real script and official script. This calligraphy form was formed after the establishment of official script and the gradual change of Cheng Miao. Compared with any previous fonts, it tends to be simpler and more horizontal and vertical. The main feature of regular script is that it is written regularly, which is a regular font among all fonts, so it is still used now.

Fourth, the running script:

Running script is developed and originated on the basis of official script, which produces a font between regular script and cursive script to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the fuzziness of cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence.

Five, cursive script:

Cursive script is a font of Chinese characters, which is characterized by simple structure and continuous strokes. It evolved from the official script used for simple writing. There are Cao Zhang, modern grass and weeds, and it feels beautiful in madness. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" says: "There are cursive scripts in Han Xing". Cursive script began in the early Han Dynasty, characterized by keeping the outline of characters, breaking the rules of officials, going fast and going fast, because it means cursive script.

The above data speak for themselves.
