Who are the representatives of Song Style, Imitation Song Style, Bold Style and Gauge as a whole?

The relationship between Qin Gui and Songti is said to be like this: during the official correspondence, Qin Gui found that these official documents from all over the country had different fonts, which were very irregular, so he devoted himself to studying, especially Huizong Zhao Ji's words, and created a unique font based on Evonne's words, which was neat, unified and easy to learn. Then, he began to copy and memorize his own new words, which attracted the attention of Hui Zong Evonne and ordered Qin Gui to make them. Official documents are required to be written in a national unified template font, so they are quickly popularized and inherited by future generations. This font is the "Song Style" we use in printing now (for this reason, some people think that Song Style is actually a kind of "thin gold" printing).

Furthermore, according to the practice of China's calligraphy, all previous dynasties named fonts after the surname of the founder or representative. For example, Liu Gongquan's name is Liu Ti and Yan Zhenqing's name is Yan Ti, so the font created by Qin Gui should be called Qin Ti. In this regard, there is a saying: after Qin Gui became the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, he linked with foreign countries, framed Zhongliang, and killed Yue Fei, a national hero who resisted the Jin Dynasty, on the charge of "unwarranted", which was despised by future generations and regarded as a sinner through the ages; To this day, the iron statues of him and his wife are still kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb and being spurned. During his 19 years in power, his reputation was very bad. He suppressed generals who resisted gold, betrayed the country and sought protection. People hate his behavior, and his fonts are not named after surnames. (Although the name "Qin Ti" really appeared when this style was just created, when Qin Gui was imprisoned, it was extremely rejected by the people and changed to the word "Song Ti".

In addition, calligraphers pay equal attention to morality and brushwork; Qin Gui, however, is insidious and cunning, has no big mind and high conduct, and even if the brushwork is beautiful, he is not happy; Therefore, the folk and calligraphy circles at that time did not want to associate this font with Qin Gui, so they changed it to "Song Style" under the name of the word-making dynasty and passed it down. Later, people imitated the structure and brushwork of "Song Ziti" and changed it into beautiful slender prints with the same thickness, which became the later "Song Ziti Imitation". "Imitating Song Style" is often used to print classical poems and literary masterpieces because of its straight strokes, clear lines and elegant figure. Later, it was designated as the standard font for mechanical drawing by the state, and was selected as the font by Chinese typewriters to become the font for printing documents.

With the development of cultural undertakings, for hundreds of years, on the basis of Songti characters, many variants such as Long Song and Ping Song have been derived. These new fonts were born to meet the needs of block printing and traditional movable type printing.
