First of all, lower case letters are not cabinet style, such as lower case letters in Wei, Jin and Zhong You, and Wang Xizhi's theory of lower case letters.
Secondly, I would like to introduce the exhibition hall. In the Qing Dynasty, especially in the late Qianlong period, pavilions and pavilions prevailed. The reason for its popularity is that Emperor Kangxi himself loved calligraphy, especially admired Dong Qichang's calligraphy and style, so that the use of Dong Qichang's and Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy styles in imperial examinations would increase the chances of admission. Under the background of pursuing utility, the calligraphy style of Dong Qichang School once prevailed among social literati. So it can be defined that the pavilion is a small box or pavilion dedicated to the imperial examination. "Black, square" and the pursuit of thousands of people have not changed. Broadly speaking, the pavilion style is not just a small block letter. Generally speaking, lacking individuality and blindly pursuing a straight and even line font can all become a pavilion style.
To sum up, it can be said that pavilion is a kind of lower case, and it is a kind of functional text that adapts to the rulers and social atmosphere to a certain extent, and is mainly suitable for imperial examinations and official copying.
Then I'd like you to explain the art of pavilion style. As I said, the pavilion style is characterized by a lack of change, a thousand people, and a lack of personality, which is just the opposite of art, and art pursues the richness of change and the development of personality. Therefore, when it comes to the art of calligraphy, the general pavilion has no position, but it can't be completely denied. The feeling of elegance, peace and founder contained in it must be affirmed, and a large number of excellent ones have been bred in its early stage of formation.
Finally, I will make a summary. The formation of pavilion style is due to the rulers' admiration for the elegant styles of Dong Qichang and Zhao Mengfu, and the influence of the unified domestic situation at that time. An official font is a lower case. Its function is similar to that of modern printing. It is a very beautiful but unchanging font, just to make the volume neat and beautiful and cater to the preferences of rulers.
LZ calligraphy lovers who want to learn lower case letters do not recommend pavilion style. They suggest learning some books of Wei and Jin Dynasties, such as Zhong You's Index Collection and Wang Xizhi's Le Yi Lun, and attach pictures of discipline indicators. You will find that the small script in Wei and Jin Dynasties was a period of transition from official script to regular script, and at this time, the society was not unified and stable, so the book style was full of flowers, each with its own characteristics, and the book style was not that kind of palace style.
