Regular script is the most popular script in China feudal society from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Jin and Tang Dynasties. Before the appearance of regular script, China calligraphy had produced three styles: Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan and Li Shu. Generally speaking, the ancient characters before Xiao Zhuan are collectively referred to as Da Zhuan, including Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions and six languages except Qin in the Warring States Period.
Xiao Zhuan is a popular script after Qin unified China. On the basis of Qin script, refer to other vassal scripts. In order to facilitate writing, it is standardized and unified. This is the first standardized regular script in the history of calligraphy in China. Official script is another representative character after Xiao seal, which is based on Xiao seal.
The appearance of official script is a great revolution of Chinese characters. Its significance lies not only in the symbolization of Chinese characters, but more importantly, it has changed the writing style and aesthetic trend of Chinese characters, thus laying a foundation for the emergence of regular script calligraphy art and further opening up a broad world for the development and prosperity of China calligraphy art.
Therefore, in various calligraphy gardens in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the art of regular script (called official script at that time, that is, assisting seal script to write faster) was directly bred. According to its law, the development history of regular script in China can be divided into four periods: the germination period of regular script-Qin and Han dynasties, the development period of regular script-Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperity period of regular script-Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, and the maturity period of regular script-Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Extending the message of "studying for the rise of China" is the grand ambition of People's Republic of China (PRC)'s first Politburo Standing Committee member, Premier Zhou Enlai of the State Council. It embodies his sense of responsibility and mission to fight for the country and the nation all his life.
"Studying for the rise of China" means reading extensively, developing in an all-round way, being pragmatic, being brave in innovation, being a high-quality talent with ideals, morality, culture and discipline, striving to improve their own cultural accomplishment and making unremitting efforts for enriching the country and strengthening the people.
"Studying for the rise of China" is not only the inheritance and sublimation of the national spirit with patriotism as the core, but also the embodiment and expansion of the spirit of the times with capitalism as the core, and it is a powerful driving force to inspire people to work hard and keep forging ahead.
