When Weibei came into being, it was in the transition period from official script to typical regular script There were regular scripts in Wei and Jin Dynasties, such as Zhong You's Epiphany Table and Wang Xizhi's Huang Tingjing, which were relatively mature regular scripts. However, after a large number of intellectuals in the Western Jin Dynasty followed the southern Jin Dynasty, the calligraphy style in the Northern Dynasties was quite different from that in the Southern Dynasties. Most of the existing inscriptions in the Northern Dynasties are written by anonymous folk calligraphers, which is naturally different from the so-called "verve" calligraphy style of scholars in the Southern Dynasties. Zhong You and Wang Xizhi completed part of the process from official script to official script. The folk calligraphers in the Northern Wei Dynasty did not inherit too many achievements because of the Jin Dynasty's southward crossing, but followed the development track of the original folk calligraphy and evolved directly from the official script in the Han and Wei Dynasties. Compared with the inscriptions in the Southern Dynasties, Liu Xizai, a book critic in the Qing Dynasty, thought that "the book in the south is Wen Ya, and the book in the north is vigorous"; Compared with Tang Kai, Tang Kai pays attention to statutes, and the knot tends to be standardized and unified, while Wei Bei writes freely, and the knot follows the situation and is not bound.
In the Qing Dynasty, Kang Youwei praised Wei Bei's "Ten Beauties" in "Two Boats in Guangyi": "Only the north and the south are ancient and modern, and only Wei is revered. What can you live for? There are ten beauties: one is bold, the other is muddy weather, the third is bold brushwork, the fourth is bold point painting, the fifth is fantastic attitude, the sixth is vigorous spirit, the seventh is full of interest, the eighth is profound knowledge, the ninth is natural structure, and the tenth is rich flesh and blood, which is the only ten beauties in Weibei Nanbei. "
Bottom line: Weibei is a regular script with a strong official script style, so it is relatively simple and vigorous.
