By the way: the following are basically aimed at regular script: the beautiful word is more beautiful in structural beauty. Looking at Gao Yuncheng's regular script in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Beauty is also the fourth longest, very beautiful. The ancients also wrote it like a fire below. There is also a saying for reference only: the third horizontal length represents fashion and the fourth horizontal length represents beauty. Ancient literati attached great importance to the aesthetic feeling of Chinese characters, and in the process of structural evolution of Chinese characters, they kept the beautiful structure and abandoned the ugly structure. However, in the simplified Chinese characters period, many beautiful traditional Chinese characters were changed into simplified Chinese characters that were not good-looking anyway, which made some big-name calligraphers feel very cold. Tian teacher, for example, takes the word "Wei" as an example. The traditional Chinese character "Wei" is very suitable for writing regular script, while the simplified Chinese character "Wei" is not suitable for writing regular script and can't be written well.
