Regular script, a font of Chinese characters, is also called regular script, regular script, original script and regular script. It gradually evolved from official script, becoming more simplified and more horizontal and vertical. The book Ci Hai is interpreted as "square in shape and straight in brushwork, which can be used as a model". This kind of Chinese character has the correct font and is a modern popular handwritten orthographic Chinese character.
Regular script is also the official name. In the book "Two Chapters of Guan Bai in the New Tang Dynasty", there are 20 regular calligraphers in the Provincial History Museum and 18 regular calligraphers. Regular script, as a formal name, is also called regular script player, who is in charge of calligraphy and writing, and is listed in the same institution because of the different specific division of labor. "Tongdian Official Twenty-two" records that the regular script writer is an outstanding official. There were no regular script players in Song Dynasty, only regular script.
Now commonly known as regular script, it evolved from Han Li, and can be divided into Weibei and Tang Kai according to the period. Weibei refers to the calligraphy style in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It can be said to be a transitional calligraphy style from official script to regular script. Zhong Zhishuai's "Learning Calligraphy" said: "Wei Bei's calligraphy can be seen in the old style of Han and Qin Dynasties, but since Sui and Tang Dynasties."
Weibei is often written in the official script of Han Dynasty, so its regular script nature is still immature, but it is precisely because of this immaturity that a hundred flowers blossom and its posture is peculiar, forming a unique beauty. Kang Youwei named it "Ten Beauty in Weibei".
Regular script in a narrow sense refers to Tang Kai, which gradually matured after the Tang Dynasty. Its representatives are Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Qi in the early Tang Dynasty, Yan Zhenqing in the middle Tang Dynasty and Liu Gongquan in the late Tang Dynasty. We often say that the four masters of regular script "Yan Liu Ou Zhao", the first three are all from the Tang Dynasty.
There were few early official scripts, with a slightly wider structure, long horizontal paintings and short vertical paintings. In Wei Jinzhong handed down from ancient times, such as Zhong You's "Declaration Form", "Compilation Records Table", Wang Xizhi's "On Music and Yi" and Huang Tingjing can all be regarded as representative works. Look at its characteristics, as Weng Fanggang said: "Change the wave painting of official script, pick it up, and still keep the vertical of official script."
