Brief introduction of official script
Official script, such as Qin Lishi and Han Li, is developed from seal script, with wide and flat font, long horizontal drawing and short vertical drawing, and pays attention to "silkworm head, goose tail" and "twists and turns".
According to the unearthed bamboo slips, Lishu originated in the Warring States Period. According to legend, Cheng Miao was a servant shooter, which reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty and had a great influence on later calligraphy. Calligraphy is known as "Han Li Tang Kai".
The origin of official script
In the process of "writing in the same language", Qin Shihuang ordered Li Si to create Xiao Zhuan, and later adopted the official script compiled by Cheng Miao. Official script is also called "official character" and "ancient book". It is a font produced on the basis of seal script to meet the needs of convenient writing. The seal script is simplified, and the uniform circle lines of the seal script are changed into straight strokes, which is convenient for writing. This is a font created in prison, which is divided into "Qin Li" and "Han Li".
Key points of official script creation
1, take the Fahan tablet and Qin and Han bamboo slips. The so-called method is to interpret and experience seriously and assiduously, rather than going through the motions. Look at the works of contemporary people less, look at the works of contemporary people more, and see their shortcomings and deficiencies.
2. Properly grasp the creative state of the subject. "Writing" is actually making the writing process and creative emotions into paper. Repeated strokes will form inertia. From birth to maturity, we should avoid maturity and grow.
3. Correctly treat the problem of style. Style is naturally generated and cannot be generalized. Style is not strong, don't worry; There is no need to be complacent, and there is no need to deliberately avoid those who have formed a style.
The main representative works of Lishu
The representative works of official script are Han Zemu, Cai, and Shi, which have been equally divided in the official script of Tang Dynasty. Among them, Han Zemu is the head of the four schools, and his masterpiece of official script is Xiyue Shenbiao. Stone, known as "Stone Stone Lang", is the masterpiece of "Great Wisdom Zen Master Monument". There are not many works handed down from generation to generation by Cai. In addition, the famous official script works in the Tang Dynasty include Xu Chen's Song Yang Guan, Tang Xuanzong's Shitai Xiaojing, Li Bai's Shangjie and Du Mu's Zhang Shi.
