In the Song Dynasty, with the development trend of papermaking, block printing was widely used, and China's Chinese characters were further improved and developed, resulting in a new writing method-Songti printing font. After the invention of papermaking, the carving tools used for printing caused unforgettable damage to fonts, resulting in a kind of printed font with fine horizontal and thick vertical, which is the most conspicuous and easy to read, and later people call it Song Style. At that time, there were two styles of carved fonts: fat imitation face, Liu body, thin imitation European face and dangerous face. Among them, the strokes of Yan Ti and Liu Ti stand upright, with some characteristics of slightly horizontal and thin vertical.
Songti, the printing font of Chinese characters in China, was invented in the Song Dynasty in China. The strokes of Chinese characters vary in size, generally thin and vertical, with decorative design parts (namely "feet" or "serifs") at the end. The strokes such as dot, left, left, right and hook are top-level and belong to white body, which is common in the typesetting design of articles printed in books, magazines and newspapers. Because it was spread to Japan from the Ming dynasty, it is also called Ming style and Ming style.
Songti was created in the Song Dynasty, but it was not mature. The Song Dynasty respected the style of imitating calligraphy, such as Liu style and European style. Until the Ming Dynasty, due to the factors of economic development, Song style, which occupied a small part, gradually became popular. Because of its lack of expressive force of change, it was criticized as "craftsman style" by literati in Ming Dynasty. Song Dong spread to Japan, which called it Ming Style. Today, it has become a popular printing font in the cultural circle of Chinese characters.
After the spread of modern papermaking to China, people in China have long been accustomed to reading books printed in Songti packaging for more than 1000 years, so the contemporary movable type also followed Songti packaging and printing. Later, according to the methods of bold and Italian style in western countries, Chinese character printing in China also created bold and imitation type. At present, Song Ti, bold, imitation Song Ti and regular script have become the four key font styles of Chinese character packaging and printing.
Song Dynasty originated in the Southern Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a history of 1000 years. In the tangible corporate culture, Song Ti has been used since ancient times, but it has not changed much. First of all, we should recommend the song style. The appearance and spiritual characteristics of Songti have also harmed China people from generation to generation.
People in China have been practicing writing in small squares and large squares since childhood. The teacher stipulated that the words should be arranged according to the stroke order of the font style and written in a square with a symmetrical vertical center. Don't deviate from the square, don't go beyond it. Here, we should operate the strokes of the characters in the square, be polite to each other, allocate each single picture and make good use of every small space in the room.
China's Chinese characters include one stroke and more than a dozen strokes, such as "Hao" and "Ding". How to allocate stroke combinations of Chinese characters and how to coordinate black and white with fewer strokes and more strokes must be treated flexibly. It is these elements that have cultivated the national character of traditional China people who are honest and good at managing local affairs.
Song Ti immediately inherited the spirit of China's regular script, and transformed China's regular script into Song Ti characters for packaging and printing without trace, which deeply influenced our aesthetic taste. The square, steady, symmetrical and balanced font structure, dignified and elegant, stretching the atmosphere, proper use and pursuing perfection and exquisiteness are endangering our personal behavior all the time.
Undoubtedly, the artistic aesthetic spirit of Songti has been deeply rooted in the spiritual atmosphere of the Chinese nation, and in its process, it has continuously introduced the aesthetic idealization of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and the historical humanistic spirit of the Chinese nation, which has become the coat of China culture and art.
