Zhong You is most praised for his great achievements in calligraphy. He was the founder of regular script (lower case) and was honored as the "originator of regular script" by later generations.
His words, flat in structure and detached in statutes, still contain the roundness and beauty of official script, neat and elegant, and open and close freely, which has become a model for later generations. From the perspective of philology, the regular script he created solved the problem that seal script and official script are difficult to recognize and write, thus providing great convenience for the popularization of Chinese characters.
"Zhi Biao" is the most famous regular script in Zhong You. Rich and elegant, flat structure, proper limit. It seeks fun in the box, gains a smart posture in the subtle changes of stippling, and is restrained when it is reused. It still looks like an extension of the outside world, with a lofty atmosphere and a strong sense of meaning. Later generations learned to use this method.
Second, the status of calligraphy
Zhong You, the pioneer of regular script, has established an unparalleled position in the history of calligraphy in China. He has made a new exploration in calligraphy, which is different from official script, official script and official seal script, and gives new aesthetic significance to writing with a pen. His ingenious and colorful use of pen is one of the sources of Wang Xizhi's prose style. It played a source role in the development of regular script in later generations.
Extended information Zhong You, character Chang, long-term social worker. Born in 15 1, died in 230. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Huan, Emperor Ling, Emperor Shao, Wei Wendi and Six Emperors in the Three Kingdoms Period.
