Qin Gui was a famous politician and calligrapher in the early Southern Song Dynasty. On the basis of regular script, he absorbed the characteristics of official script and created a new font called Song Character. Song style is characterized by horizontal and vertical, moderate thickness, correct shape and easy identification, which became the common font of official documents at that time. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Ti was widely used in government official documents, book printing and other fields, gradually replacing other fonts and becoming a unique cultural phenomenon.
The purpose of Qin Gui's creation of Song-style characters is to improve the readability and readability of official documents, which is convenient for officials and people to read and understand. This innovation was recognized and supported by the Southern Song government, and gradually spread, which had a far-reaching impact on later generations.
