Official script is a font of Chinese characters, such as Qin Li and Han Li. Generally speaking, it is developed from seal script, with wide and flat font, long horizontal painting and short vertical painting, and pays attention to the swallow tail of silkworm head. According to the unearthed bamboo slips, Lishu originated in Qin Dynasty, and it is said that Cheng Miao was an official, and Han Li reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Official script, also known as official script, is a font based on seal script to meet the needs of convenient writing.
Inheriting the tradition of seal script and opening the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties had a great influence on the calligraphy of later generations, and the calligraphy circle was known as the Tang Kai of Han Li. Regarding the definition of official script, Mr. Wu said in the article "Looking at the Official Script in the Early Qin and Han Dynasties from the Unearthed Silk Books of Qin Bamboo Slips" that it can be explained by the original meaning of this word.
Compared with seal script, official script originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The appearance of official script is another major change in China's writing, which has brought China's calligraphy art into a new realm, a turning point in the development history of Chinese characters, and laid the foundation for regular script. Official script is flat, neat and exquisite. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, paintings such as "skimming", "pressing" and "pointing" were beautified as upward provocation, with different weights.
The official change is an important calligraphy cultural event in the history of China calligraphy, and the internal motivation of the official change is to adapt to the requirements of the social development for the application of characters at that time. Lines change from euphemistic arc strokes to steep straight strokes, and twists and turns change from the circle of seal script to the turning Fang Bi. The change of official script marks the destruction of Chinese characters and the establishment of abstract symbols, and also marks the final formation of official script's independent character and aesthetic characteristics.
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 can be divided into "Qin Li" (also known as "Guli") and "Han Li" (also known as "Lishu"). The appearance of Lishu is a great change in ancient writing and 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". It is also said that official script originated in the Warring States period.

According to legend, Li Shu was compiled by Cheng Miao in prison at the end of Qin Dynasty, which simplified traditional Chinese characters, rounded fonts and changed strokes into straight ones. Changing "Lian Bi" into "broken pen" and changing lines into strokes makes writing more convenient. "Li Ben" is not a slave, but a small official, that is, a small official in charge of documents, so in ancient times, official script was called "Zuo Shu". At the same time, cursive script, regular script and running script were derived, which laid the foundation for art.
Official script is basically evolved from seal script, mainly changing the round strokes of seal script into square folds. Because it is difficult to draw round strokes on wooden slips with pigments, the official script is written faster.
