Regular script gradually emerged from the official script cursive style at the end of the Han Dynasty. In the long-term development and evolution process, it has experienced two peaks, one is Wei Bei in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the other is Tang Kai in the Tang Dynasty. What I bring to you below is the Lanting preface and regular script calligraphy. I hope you like it.

The aesthetic space of regular script:
Yan Zhenqing The regular script is like a loyal minister and martyr, Guan Yu is sitting in the hall. It reminds people of Yan Zhenqing's awe-inspiring righteousness when he wrote the "Notice for Fighting for Seats" to maintain order in the officialdom. It also reminds people of his cousin Yan Gaoqing, who did not hesitate to have his son Yan Jiming beheaded by the rebels and his tongue to be cut off by the rebels during the Anshi Rebellion. Indomitable and unyielding (this is the origin of "Yan Changshan Tongue" in Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness"). Yan Zhenqing, who was over 70 years old, refused to give in in the face of the intimidation and inducement of the rebel Li Xilie until he was hanged, becoming a model of the integration of book quality and character. Yan Kai's integrity, strength, generosity, and strictness are certainly objects of aesthetic appreciation, and his personality cultivation is even more touching. No wonder Fu Shan educated his descendants to read Lu Gong's exegesis before studying it.
I noticed a huge picture of China showing its image in the United States a few years ago. In the picture were three or five graceful female stars, with the thin gold-style regular script of Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, in the background. I admire the brilliance of the makers for injecting traditional Chinese cultural elements into the promotional posters. The charming female stars and the beautiful thin gold calligraphy are integrated into one, which shows the charm of Chinese calligraphy. I support calligraphy going to the world in Tang suit, showing tradition and orthodoxy, including promoting regular script classics.
As for the Jingshiyu Diamond Sutra, which has been collected into both the Regular Script Dictionary and the Official Script Dictionary, I personally went to the place to worship. On the creek bed of thousands of square meters, there are more than a thousand words of scripture lying on it. The huge characters are like Buddha statues lying or sitting. They all have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, so steady, tolerant and peaceful. On a frosty and scorching day, enjoy the bright moon and cool breeze. It remains the same for thousands of years, saving people silently. I lingered in Jingshi Valley, enjoying the beauty and purifying my soul.
