Yan Ti is a font created by Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Yan Ti and Liu Gongquan are collectively called "Yan Liu" and "Yan Liu Jingu". "Yan Ti" is aimed at Yan Zhenqing's regular script. Its regular script structure is square and dense, the strokes are horizontal and light, the brushwork is vigorous and round, and the momentum is solemn and vigorous.
Yan Zhenqing has opened up a brand-new realm of calligraphy: in terms of characteristics, Yan has a brand-new figure, strict statutes and great momentum. From the aesthetic point of view, beauty of face and beauty of body are dignified, masculine and artificial, and beauty of number is simultaneous, which sets a rule for later generations. From the perspective of the times, the early Tang dynasty inherited the rest of the Jin and Song dynasties, but failed to stand on its own feet. As soon as Yan style appeared, the new style of Tang Doutan casting became one of the distinctive features of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
His regular script is contrary to the calligraphy style of the early Tang Dynasty, featuring brushwork. It is a typical example of perfect combination of calligraphy beauty and personality beauty.

Chen Qing, a native of Jingzhao Wannian (now Xi, Shaanxi), was originally from Linyi (now Linyi, Shandong). The History of Books is also called Yan. Be upright, be upright. The innovator of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty set up a banner for calligraphy in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Yan Zhenqing studied books since childhood and was taught by Zhang Xu. He also studied and developed Cai Yong, Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and Chu Suiliang, and formed his own unique style.
His cursive script is concise and powerful, with ups and downs. As Li Zhimin, a pioneer and professor of Peking University, commented: "Yan Zhenqing's Poem of General Pei is divided into the soul by Korea, which is a fusion of various forms, and Pei Minzhi's Sword Dance is vivid in his works. If you want to cure the frivolous grass, you can ask for it in this post. "
