According to the cultural background of the times, personal cultural accomplishment and ideological connotation, they present their own different calligraphy styles, so the characteristics of calligraphy vary from time to time and cannot be generalized!
For example, Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Li Yong in the early Tang Dynasty were all famous for their regular script, but they all had their own styles.
Su, Huang, Mi and Cai are all famous for their running scripts, but their running scripts are different. ...
Here, we can only briefly summarize the following representative books:
(1) seal handwriting:
There is a big seal in front of the small seal. The handwriting is thin and straight.
In 22 1 BC, Qin Shihuang unified China, abolished six foreign languages and simplified the unified font, which was later called "Xiao Zhuan". The font is slightly long and neat, and the strokes are round and beautiful.
(2) Official script:
The structure of official script is flat, neat and exquisite. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, stippling such as skimming and pressing was beautified as upward provocation, with different degrees of severity, which enhanced the beauty of the plastic arts of calligraphy, with diverse styles and greatly improved the artistic appreciation value.
(3) Regular script:
Regular script, also known as "official script" and "original script", evolved from official script and became more simplified. The font is changed from flat to square, the strokes are concise, horizontal and vertical, and the rules are neat, so it is called regular script, because this kind of calligraphy can be used as a "model" and has been used ever since.
(4) Run the script:
Running script is the rapid writing of regular script, which is said to have started in the Han Dynasty. There is no neat regular script and no draft cursive script. Regular script or running script close to regular script is called "running script", and cursive script or running script close to cursive script is called "running script".
(5) Cursive script: Cursive script is to connect characters with points according to certain rules, with simple structure and borrowing. This is not random graffiti. The feature of cursive script is that the artistic appreciation value is greater than the practical value. Generally speaking, it can be divided into two types: Cao Zhang and Cao Cao. Cao Zhang is a simple and quick writing style of official script, and each word is independent and unrelated. Cao Cao is a quick writing style of regular script, and the strokes between the upper and lower parts are often implicated.
