Regular script is also called block script, real script and official script. Li Shu, which was founded by Cheng Miao, gradually evolved, becoming more simplified, horizontal and vertical. Ci Hai explains that it is "square in shape and straight in strokes, which can be used as a model." Hence the name regular script. It began at the end of the Han Dynasty, and it has been popular ever since. The emergence of regular script closely follows han li's rules and regulations, and pursues the further development of physical beauty. In the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the writing of Chinese characters gradually changed from wave to wave, and it became "left" (point), "swept" (long left), "pecked" (short left) and "lifted" (straight hook). Such as Wuwei Medical Bamboo Slips and Juyan Han Bamboo Slips. Regular script is characterized by neat rules and is a model in fonts, so it is called regular script and has been used ever since. [1]
regular script has a model meaning, which was first mentioned in Zhang Huaiguan's Shu Duan. People in the Six Dynasties still used it habitually, for example, Yang Xin's "Cai" article, and Wang Sengqian's "On the Book of Wei's Birthday Biography" said: "The word of Birthday is a general, and people in Jingzhao are good at regular script." That's the abbreviation of "eight-point block method" It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that it replaced the name of Zhengshu, and its content was obviously different from the ancient name. There are probably the above examples of different names and different names.
regular script
especially regular script
is the most popular script in feudal society in China from the Northern and Southern Wei Dynasty to the Jin and Tang Dynasties. Before the emergence of regular script, Chinese calligraphy had produced three styles: Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan and Li Shu. Generally speaking, all the ancient characters before Xiao Zhuan are collectively called Da Zhuan, including Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions and six languages except Qin during the Warring States Period. Xiao Zhuan is a popular script after Qin unified China. It is based on the script of Qin State and refers to the scripts of other vassal States. It is standardized and unified for the convenience of writing. This is the first standardized script in the history of calligraphy in China. Official script is another representative script after Xiao Zhuan, which is based on Xiao Zhuan. The emergence of official script is a great revolution of Chinese characters. Its significance lies not only in the symbolization of Chinese characters, but more importantly, it has changed the writing style and aesthetic trend of Chinese characters, thus laying the foundation for the emergence of regular script calligraphy art and further opening up a broad world for the development and prosperity of China calligraphy art.
Thus, in the various calligraphy gardens during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the calligraphy art of Kai
He Juntian Kai Shu [2]
Shu (then called Li Shu, that is, assisted by Xiao Zhuan, writing faster) was directly bred. According to its laws, the development history of regular script in China can be divided into four periods: the embryonic period of regular script-Qin and Han Dynasties, the development period of regular script-Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperity period of regular script-Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, and the maturity period of regular script-Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Song Xuanhe's book spectrum: "In the early Han Dynasty, Wang Cizhong started to use Li characters as regular script." The regular script here actually refers to the eight-point script created by Wang Cizhong, not the so-called regular script today. It is also said: "On the tomb of Confucius, a regular script tree planted by Zi Gongzhi has straight branches and unyielding bends." The strokes of regular script are simple and refreshing, and must be like the branches of regular script trees.
