4. Lin'an Bookstore Edition in Song font
This is the printing font used by Chen Qi (the age is unknown) of Chenjia Bookstore on Pengbei Street in Lin'an during the Southern Song Dynasty. This font is similar to Qin Hui It doesn't matter either.
The above are the four main fonts popular in the Song Dynasty. Do these fonts have anything to do with Qin Hui? No!
These four fonts are actually not what we call Songti today. What we call Songti today is, strictly speaking, imitation Songti. This imitation Song style was created by the printing industry of the Ming Dynasty based on the popular fonts of the Ming Dynasty and the existing "Lin'an Shupeng style" at that time. This font belongs to Setter, let alone has anything to do with Qin Hui.
In Qin Hui's biography, it is only said that Qin Hui's calligraphy was very neat. It was never said that he was good at calligraphy, could have famous works handed down from generation to generation, and created his own font.
Judging from our previous introduction, those who can create their own fonts are either senior people in the printing industry or famous calligraphers who have left their names in history. Qin Hui had nothing to do with these two parties and was not famous for his calligraphy. How could he create a set of fonts that would remain unchanged?
The original intention of spreading this statement was actually to overturn Qin Hui's verdict, to avenge him, and to help him get up from the ground where he had knelt for a thousand years.
Qin Hui’s invention of Song-style characters is purely a fabricated lie. Song font, also known as Ming font, was invented by engraving craftsmen based on face style and combined with their own knife skills. It is a Chinese character font that appeared to adapt to printing technology. Woodblock printing appeared in the Song Dynasty. The wooden boards have wood grains. The wood grains of the wooden boards used for engraving are generally horizontal. When engraving, the vertical strokes and the horizontal wood grains intersect, which easily causes the strokes to break. Therefore, the engraving workers creatively invented The vertical strokes are thicker, the horizontal strokes are thinner, and the endpoints of the horizontal strokes are cut twice to form a triangular raised Song-shaped font, which better adapts to the characteristics of wood. Because this type of font lacks the artistry of change, lacks spirituality and is a bit dull, it was called "carpenter style" by the literati of the Ming Dynasty. Although this statement is derogatory, it is also appropriate, because the imitation of Song fonts is the work of engravers. What was gradually formed in a large number of production practices is indeed the craftsman style and has nothing to do with Qin Hui. The lie that Qin Hui invented Song-style characters has been proven to be nonsense by many scholars in recent years. There is no record in historical records that Qin Hui was the inventor of Song-style characters. Therefore, Song-style characters have nothing to do with Qin Hui.
