Why is there a word "De" missing from calligraphy works?

As early as 1000 years ago, "de" was like a polyphonic word, with horizontal lines and horizontal lines. This can be confirmed by the ink of famous calligraphers in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. For example, the word "De" in the Imperial Book of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, which is now located in the Confucius Temple in imperial academy, Beijing, is not horizontal; Another example is the word "De" written by Zheng Banqiao, a painter in the Qing Dynasty who founded Quanjude at the same time. Some of them have horizontal lines, while others have no horizontal lines.

For example, the word "De" in Jingdezhen Baotong, which was cast in northern Song Zhenzong (A.D. 1004), has no horizontal character, while the word "De" in Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1426) has horizontal characters.
