Seal script is also called "official script". From the perspective of brushwork, the main strokes of the three are centered, and from the perspective of structure, they are all very regular and can appear in ancient official documents. But there are differences between the three, and beginners can make choices according to their own situation.
1, difficult to recognize and easy to learn.
Seal script is difficult to identify because it has the most pictographic meaning and gives people a sense of mystery. However, because each stroke of seal script is basically written by the most basic central stroke, the lines are symmetrical and euphemistic, the strokes are only straight and arc, and other strokes are slightly changed on this basis, so it is the simplest to write and suitable for friends who learn from scratch. As for the hard ones, you don't have to struggle. If you write too much, you will be cooked.
2. Simple and solemn official script.
After the appearance of official script, the structure of seal script basically showed a slightly flat trend, paying attention to "silkworm head and goose tail" and "twists and turns" Although the official script is neat, it tends to open and close, which is called "eight-part essay". Official script also has strict requirements for the pen used in the center. It should be noted that different styles of official calligraphy pens are different from those used by Fiona Fang.
3. It is difficult for people to practice regular script.
Regular script is the most popular text now, and everyone can understand it. Since the Tang Dynasty, regular script has gradually become the mainstream, and the brushwork has gradually improved, with strict rules and rich and varied brushwork. For people with poor foundation, writing regular script may be difficult to find the feeling as quickly as writing official script, and it takes longer time and more practice to improve their level.
It is suggested that children practice official script first, and cultivate interest first, because the brushwork of official script is not so difficult to learn, and then it is easy to get started whether writing regular script or running script. According to the development order of calligraphy, there are official scripts first, and then there is a great development of grass, lines and patterns.
