in dealing with Chinese pinyin in MicrosoftWord, regular script font is recommended. Regular script originated from official script, with regular font, clear strokes and straight lines, which has become the standard of modern Chinese handwriting. Regular script is not only a Chinese font, but also an official title in ancient times, such as the regular script writer of the Provincial History Museum of Zhongshu in Tang Dynasty, who was responsible for writing national history and had a certain official position.
However, with the development of history, the style of regular script gradually became too strict after it became standardized in the late Tang Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, Su Shi created a distinctive "Su Style" with his poetic temperament, while Zhao Mengfu formed "Zhao Ti" at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. Although the latter's style is open-ended, beginners generally tend to start with the three major schools of regular script "Yan Liuou" because they represent the styles of regular script in different periods.
"Yan Liuou" has its own characteristics: Yan style is influenced by the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty, which makes it plump; Liu Ti, on the other hand, reflects Liu Gongquan's upright personality and correct font. The evolution of these fonts not only reflects the changes of the times, but also reflects the calligrapher's personal artistic pursuit and style characteristics. Therefore, when choosing regular script fonts, we can choose from these classic schools to fully understand and appreciate the charm of regular script.
