What is regular script like?

Regular script, also known as original script and regular script, was founded in Wei Chu at the end of Han Dynasty and gradually matured in Jin Dynasty. Since then, the standard regular script of square Chinese characters has been laid, which has become a model that must be followed in learning calligraphy in past dynasties.

Regular script can be divided into Weibei and Tang stele according to its writing characteristics. Wei Bei mostly came from the inscriptions of unknown calligraphers in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Tang steles were written by calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of the development of regular script, and many regular script masters appeared, among which Ou Yangxun, Chu Suiliang, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan were the most famous. Their calligraphy styles are called European style, Chu style, Yan style and Liu Ti style, which are highly respected by people and have a great influence on later generations.
