(1) Wang Cizhong, founder of regular script.
"Jin Shu Wei Hengzhuan": "Shanggu Wang Cizhong initiated the law."
Notes on Sui Shu Qingyi Water and Water Mirror: "Wang Ci-zhong, a county native, has little ambition and weak crown, and changed Cang Xie's old prose into today's official script. Qin Shihuang changed the bell and bell characters, which was simple and convenient, and was called surprise attack, but he didn't take three signs ... At first, the emperor was very angry with his disrespect and asked the sill car to send it. The second time I started on the road, I became a big bird, rushed out of the car and flew away. " Qingyi River is now the He Jiong River in Yanqing, Beijing.
"Xuanhe Pu Shu" in Song Dynasty: "The change of word method is extremely embarrassing, and it is still ancient, and there is no rule of ancient times. In Zhang Chu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 76-83), Wang Ci-zhong began to use official script as the law. The so-called law is today's official book. "
Although the three books cited above are all Qin people and Eastern Han people, they all think that Wang Cizhong is the founder of regular script.
(2) The earliest calligrapher of regular script is Zhong You.
Li Xueqin's Outline of Philology: "The earliest regular script writer we know is Zhong You, and the oldest regular script we can see is the transcript of the declaration form and other posts written by Zhong You."
Fu edited "Appreciation of Calligraphy and Painting": "The formation of regular script from Qin and Han Dynasties to Three Kingdoms, represented by Zhongyou regular script, is the regular script period."
(3) Regular script is created by everyone, not by one person.
Ci Hai: "Regular script ... began at the end of Han Dynasty, prevailed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and is still popular today."
The story of Chinese characters: "Regular script is also called' original',' official script' and' official script', which evolved from official script ... Regular script is also created by many people, not one person."
