In addition to small letters, medium letters and large letters, there are fine characters.
Fine characters refer to extremely small real book fonts. People in Song Dynasty loved to write this kind of words.
For example, Song Longzhou's "unofficial history in the South of the Yangtze River" says, "Use calligraphy as a name, and be good at writing fine words, as small as hair. Try to write the Heart Sutra on a piece of money, and then write the words" Guotai Min An "on a piece of sesame.
Huang Changrui wrote on the inscription of the fine-grained Hua Yan Jing: "Books are classics, and ruler paper makes 7, words. "That is to say, a 7,-word Hua Yan Jing was written on a one-foot square piece of paper.
At present, some micro-carving calligraphy, such as writing poems, articles, etc. of a certain length in tiny characters on hair, ivory pieces with large grains, and fan bones, should also belong to the category of fine characters.
