Songti is a Chinese font that seems suitable for printing. The strokes vary in thickness, generally thin and vertical, with decorative parts at the end (that is, "feet" or "serif"), and strokes such as dots, strokes, strokes and hooks have sharp points, which belong to serif fonts and are often used for text typesetting of books, magazines and newspapers.
Regular script is also called regular script, real script and official script. It gradually evolved from official script, becoming more simplified and more horizontal and vertical. Ci Hai is interpreted as "square, straight and exemplary". This kind of Chinese character has the correct font and is a modern popular handwritten orthographic Chinese character.
2. The font of Song style is different from that of regular script.
Song dynasty "horizontal fine vertical thick". According to the existing woodcut forms of ancient books in China, this is related to the direction of woodcut cutting from the trunk: "Ancient woodcuts are generally cut along the longitudinal direction of the trunk, that is, the horizontal strokes of the characters are in the same direction as the woodcut fibers, which is not easy to be cut off. However, the vertical painting of characters is at right angles to the wood fiber of seal cutting, which is relatively easy to be cut off. The fonts of Ming seal cutting are thin and thick.
Regular script is also called regular script, original script and official script. Li Shu, founded by Cheng Miao, has gradually evolved and become more simplified and level. Ci Hai is interpreted as "square and straight, which can be used as a model." Hence the name regular script. It began at the end of the Han dynasty and has been popular until modern times.
The appearance of regular script follows closely Han Li's composition and pursues the further development of formal beauty. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty, the writing of Chinese characters gradually changed from wave to wave, and became "left" (dot), "sweep" (long left), "peck" (short left) and "lift" (straight hook).
Regular script is characterized by neat rules and is a model in fonts, so it is called regular script and has been used until modern times.
3. Song style is different from regular script.
Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism has experienced explosive growth in China, and the supply of Confucian classics has also increased day by day, so the profession of writing and processing was born. This calligraphy style that adapts to rapid copying is also called "copying classics" by later generations.
The source of lettering in the early Tang Dynasty was the copying style of the Tang Dynasty. In the Five Dynasties, with the large-scale popularization of printing, the government gradually became the popularizer and norm maker of block printing. The woodblock printing of China's first classic "The Classic of Wine" was officially produced in the Five Dynasties.
In Song Dynasty, woodblock printing ushered in a golden age. However, at this time, the seal cutting font was not the Song style that was later known to everyone, but mostly entered the board with the famous fonts of the Tang Dynasty. Different regions have different fonts. The colors of Yan Zhenqing are often used in Sichuan.
Regular script evolved from Han Li and can be divided into regular script and regular script. Weibei refers to the calligraphy style in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which can be said to be a transition from official script to regular script. Zhong Zhishuai's Xue Xuan Calligraphy says: "Wei Bei's calligraphy can be seen from the past of Han and Qin Dynasties, and from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
"Weibei often has the writing style of official script in the Han Dynasty, so its regular script nature is not mature, but it is precisely because of this immaturity that it has also caused the scene of a hundred flowers blooming, with a strange posture and a unique beauty. Kang Youwei rated it as "ten beauties in Weibei".
