Thin Gold Style is a font created by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. It is a very unique calligraphy style in the history of calligraphy. It is very different from traditional calligraphy styles such as Jin Kaili and Tang Kai. It is so strong that it can be called an original creation in the history of calligraphy. Representative works include "Thousand-Character Classics in Regular Script" and "Poetry of Hefang", etc.
The thin gold-style writing is agile and fast, and the handwriting is thin and vigorous, even thin without losing its flesh. The large characters are especially graceful and graceful. Because the strokes are relatively thin and hard, the brushwork is exposed, and traces of the strokes such as running Tetons can be clearly seen. It is a font with a quite unique style.
In terms of strokes, Slender Gold style is different from other calligraphy styles, mainly reflected in the following two points:
First, compared with other calligraphy styles, the strokes of Slender Gold style are more elegant. Slender, there are less changes in a single stroke, and the stroke speed is relatively faster.
Secondly, in writing, the thin gold style is more obvious for transitions and pauses.
In terms of structure, the thin gold body has the following three characteristics:
First, it is tight on the inside and loose on the outside. Compared with other calligraphy styles, the thin gold style is more obvious in the aspect of "tightening the middle palace and relaxing horizontally and vertically". The internal structure is tight and the external strokes are stretched.
Second, tighten up and loosen down. This is particularly evident in the characters with upper and lower structures.
Third, left is tight and right is loose. The looseness and tightness here do not refer to the size of the radicals, but to the structure.

To learn Shoujin style, I recommend "Song Huizong's True Book Thousand-Character Essay". The reason is that "Thousand Character Classic" is written in regular script, which is very helpful for better grasping the structure of characters.
