Calligraphy fonts and characteristics
The so-called calligraphy font is also the classification of calligraphy style. Traditionally, China calligraphy fonts are roughly divided into seal script, official script, cursive script, running script and regular script. However, in each category, it is divided into several sub-categories. For example, seal script is divided into big seal script and small seal script, regular script is divided into Weibei and Tang style, and there are two heavenly kings and thin gold style. Let's talk about these calligraphy fonts and their characteristics respectively.
Seal script of calligraphy font
The so-called seal script is actually a kind of official script, which is a standardized common font of official documents. According to documents, there was no special name for the characters of Chinese characters in the pre-Qin period, and Xiao Zhuan gradually evolved from the characters of Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Official script of calligraphy font
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 calligraphy font appeared quickly among the people, which used square folding to write the dignified, neat, round and curved lines of Xiao Zhuan. It is said that this font was very popular among junior officials, craftsmen and slaves at that time, so it was called official script.
A cursive script with calligraphy font
Cursive script is a scribbled and fast font. Cursive script is a simple font used to assist official script, which is mainly used for drafting manuscripts and communication. During the formation of cursive script, government assistants and historians often need to use drafting documents, which affects the circulation of cursive script. After entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the processing of literati and calligraphers, cursive script has a more regular and rigorous shape, which can be used in some official occasions, called "Cao Zhang", which has a little taste of official script and retains the strokes and brushwork of official script.
Regular script of calligraphy font
As far as the font structure of calligraphy is concerned, regular script is similar to official script, but it changes the writing style of official script strokes, from flat official script to basic 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.
Calligraphy font running script
Running script is a calligraphy font between regular script and cursive script, which is not as neat as regular script and unrestrained as cursive script; If regular script is like a person sitting and cursive running, then running script is a person walking, because running script is more casual and faster than regular script, and unlike cursive script, it is the most popular among people.
