Lishu is a Chinese font, including Qin Lishu and Han Li. It is generally believed that it is developed from seal script, with wide and flat font, long horizontal painting and short vertical painting, and pays attention to "swallow tail of silkworm head" and "twists and turns".
According to the unearthed bamboo slips, official script originated in Qin Dynasty, and Cheng Miao was also called official script. Han Li reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, inherited the tradition of seal script, and opened the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which had a great influence on later calligraphy. The calligraphy circle is known as "Tang Kai of Han Li".
The writing method of stippling in official script is obviously different from that in seal script. The stippling in seal script can be summarized into three types: point, straight and arc, and the development of official script has already possessed eight strokes in the eight methods of permanent characters. In terms of strokes, seal script is mostly round, while official script has always been used by Fiona Fang, and the thickness of strokes has changed.
The official script can be divided into three parts: middle part, upper part, left part, right part and horizontal part. The middle point is written like this: after writing, raise the pen to the front, turn the pen back to the right, pause the pen, and then turn the pen back to the front in the point. The difference between official script and seal script lies in the biased change.
The writing of the upper point is slightly the same as that of the middle point, except that the last stroke did not close the front in the point, but wanted to gradually raise the front downward. The left and right points and horizontal points are written in the same way as the above points, but the starting position is different from the front direction.
The writing of "left and right" in official script is similar to "left point" and "right point", but the difference is that the last stroke is longer. The vertical writing of official script is the same as seal script.
There are two kinds of horizontal bodies in Lishu: short horizontal body and long horizontal body. The short horizontal style starts from the pen and ends in the flat, and the horizontal style protects the tail, which is slightly like seal script. The hidden front of a long horizontal pen faces upwards, and then Fang Bi folds it up, turns it to the right, and becomes a silkworm pen, and then writes it to the right. The pen is a bit astringent and can't slide. When it reaches two-thirds of the horizontal position, it brings out a downward wave depression, and then slightly lifts the pen forward to form a dovetail. This kind of stroke is also called wave stroke.
Si is similar to long horizontal writing, but the strokes are down to the right, which is more stretching than horizontal writing.
