First, brush strokes and stippling:
The brushwork of official script is richer than that of seal script. Judging from the basic telephone form of official script, the formation of strokes such as point, vertical, horizontal, left, pressed and folded shows that the strokes have already met the specified requirements, that is, on the basis of using the pen to report the strokes tactfully, the pressing, hiding and turning of the pen have been obviously increased, which has made the strokes colorful. Among them, the techniques of folding pen and picking pen are more distinct in the formation period.
The stippling of official script constitutes the inherent artistic quality of official script, which depends on the emergence and development of official script brushwork. The appearance of official script brushwork is a breakthrough in ancient Chinese characters and the source of various writing brushwork in later generations. The stippling created by it is unique to China art, and it is the "basic point" that distinguishes China's calligraphy art from other art categories.
