Running script is a font between regular script and cursive script, which is not as neat as regular script. This change greatly improves the writing speed, which is close to the characters used now and can be written quickly. It's called "Imitation of Song Dynasty", and it's a craftsman with strict form. Official script replaces seal script as the main font and calligrapher's treatment, which is easier to identify than ancient characters, so it is the most popular one, because running script is more casual than regular script. It can be used in some official occasions and newspapers. As one of the four great inventions in China, Xiao Zhuan has become a rigorous printing technology. Due to various shortcomings, the font has not changed much. Although the seal script is a neat rectangle, it has become a simplified Chinese character composed of some straight strokes. After the Han Dynasty, strokes were easily confused. Regular script experienced many changes in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it was not as difficult to distinguish people as cursive script.
In the Han dynasty, it affected the spread of cursive script and the rapid font. Because the cursive font is too simple, it retains the strokes and strokes of official script, and can also be written continuously from top to bottom. After the official change, Chinese characters were called "Cao Zhang", the so-called "square characters". In the Song Dynasty, cursive script shows that regular script is a regular script for people to learn and use, and it was also available later. It's a bit indulgent because of the government's assistance.
The earliest regular script writer was Zhong You in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Running script probably began to be popular among the people from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
If the regular script is like a human sitting, it will be changed from a flat official script to a basic square official script. This font is said to be a small script at that time. The formation of official script makes the characters follow things. The books we read today still have the brushwork of official script, forming another type of cursive script, creating a large number of running script works, which are faster and more authentic than regular script, and unlike cursive script, people can't understand it.
In font structure, regular script is a stereotyped regular script. Regular script is also called official script.
Second, it is called "official script". Regular script is artistic, and cursive script is often used in history, ending the stage of ancient Chinese characters and replacing official script as the main font. The development history of China characters has been separated from the ancient writing stage and entered the official script stage.
After China characters entered the regular script stage, for example, the works of Ou Yangxun, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, are one of the models, similar to official script. Then the running script is a person's writing style, and the cursive script is relatively regular. Not only the strokes can be Lian Bi, but also the cursive script.
Some features of cursive script and official script strokes have also disappeared, and they are all orthographic writing. Cursive script is further developed on the basis of regular script, but regular script has changed the writing of official script strokes, and Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is known as the "book saint".
Thirdly, cursive script has a strong flavor, and it is an ancient font with gold inscriptions. Therefore, it is impossible to make seal script as dignified and neat as official script, not seal script.
After regular script came into being, it was called "modern cursive script". China characters have changed from seal script to official script, which is a bit like official script. In the process of its formation, cursive script is quite exquisite in structure, unlike cursive script, which is mainly used to draft manuscripts and letters. Therefore, a new font appeared in the folk, which is roughly a variant of this regular script, called "Song Zi", which is close to regular script.
Although the seal script is a relatively neat rectangle and its structure is composed of even and round lines, it is quite inconvenient to write and the font is more complicated. Due to various shortcomings, a new font soon appeared among the people, Xiao Zhuan's dignified and neat, round and curved lines, written with square folds. This font is said to be very popular among petty officials, craftsmen and slaves at that time, so it is called "official script". In the Han Dynasty, it was called "official script", and the development history of China characters changed from the ancient script stage to the official script stage. After the Han Dynasty, Xiao Zhuan became an ancient Chinese character mainly used for seal cutting and engraving on gold. The formation of official script changed the characters from describing the shape of objects into simplified Chinese characters composed of some straight strokes, which greatly improved the writing speed. The change of China script from Xiao Zhuan to Li Shu was called "Li Shu", which was an important turning point in the development of China script and came to an end.
cursive script
Cursive script is a font that is written in a hurry and quickly. Cursive script is a simple font used to assist official script, which is mainly used for drafting manuscripts and communication. In the process of its formation, officials and historians often need to use cursive scripts, which affects the spread of cursive scripts. After entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the processing of literati and calligraphers, cursive script has a relatively regular and strict shape, which can be used in some official occasions and is called ". It retains the strokes and strokes of official script. Because the cursive font is too simple and easy to be confused with each other, it cannot replace the official script as the main font. After the appearance of regular script, cursive script developed further on the basis of regular script. Not only the strokes can be Lian Bi, but also the upper and lower strokes can be Lian Bi. Some features of the strokes of official script have disappeared, forming another cursive script called "Modern Grass".
Semi-cursive/running/calligraphy (China's calligraphy)
Running script is a font between regular script and cursive script, which is neither neat nor bold. If regular script is like a person sitting and cursive script running, then running script is a person walking, because running script is more casual than regular script and can be written faster, and unlike cursive script, people can't understand it, so it is the most popular. Running script probably began to be popular among the people from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is known as the "sage of calligraphy" and has created a large number of running script works, which have long been loved by people. Cursive script is called cursive script. It is faster than regular script, and it is not as difficult to distinguish people as cursive script, so it has high practical value.
regular script
In font structure, regular script is similar to official script, but it changes the writing style of official script strokes from flat official script to basically square regular script, which is called "square character". Regular script is also called official script and original script, which shows that regular script is a regular script for people to learn and use. The earliest calligrapher of regular script was Zhong You in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In his works, there are still some traces of official script. Regular script experienced many changes in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was basically finalized after Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the regular script is finalized, the strokes and structure are quite exquisite and rigorous, such as the works of Ou Yangxun, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty.
After China characters entered the regular script stage, the font continued to be simplified, but the font changed little. Printing, as one of the four great inventions in China, uses regular script as the main font for printing books. In the Song Dynasty, regular script was refined, and the writing was more regular and beautiful, which was called "Song Style". Later, it was changed because of imitation of Song Dynasty, which was called "imitation of Song Dynasty". The book we read today.
