The evolution process from official script to regular script

The evolution from official script to regular script.

1. Wei and Jin bamboo slips

In the bamboo slips of Wei and Jin Dynasties, the shadow of regular script already existed.

A large number of Wei and Jin bamboo slips were found in Wuyi Square in Changsha, Hunan.

At that time, the old city of Chu and Han was located in Wuyi Square in Changsha. /kloc-in the summer of 0/996, a commercial building will be built on the square. These precious bamboo slips were discovered when the base started construction. Nearly 654.38 million pieces of Wu bamboo slips of the Three Kingdoms were unearthed in more than 50 ancient wells.

Bamboo slips in Wei and Jin Dynasties are neat and round, with different styles, and even more varied.

For example, the end of the word "Cang" in the picture below is rolled up to bring out the next stroke. If it is a straight stroke, the relationship with the next stroke is very weak. The last stroke of the first stroke and the beginning of the second stroke are very important and echo each other.

There is also a turning point in the word "10,000", and the pen is also very lively and skilled.

When posting, everyone should see clearly which are the original strokes and which are the follow-up strokes. The original strokes should be realistic, and the subsequent strokes should be imaginary. Pay attention to the natural and smooth transition.

There is a saying in calligraphy called "send one", which means to dispatch your pen and let it follow your hand instead of being led by it.

At this stage, the calligraphy style of Wei and Jin dynasties was mainly official script, mixed with different calligraphy styles.

After the transitional mixed stage, regular script develops in the direction of being easier to stand up and write.

The Three Kingdoms period is the last stage of bamboo slips writing after the invention of paper.

The writing carrier has changed, and the action and presentation effect of the pen are also different, so regular script came into being.

2. Stone Carvings in Wei and Jin Dynasties

The regular script stone carvings in Wei and Jin Dynasties are also unique, and the font of the stone carvings also changes slightly according to the different contents.

Article is the support of words, and writing must be inseparable from it. Reading articles while writing is also a very good learning method.

The so-called "poetry", when writing, should choose different fonts according to the background environment of the text.

For example, when we wrote "I am a madman in Chu", it was originally a very free and easy sentence, but if we wrote it in lowercase letters, it would feel very different. If we write in grass, it will taste "crazy".

The stone carvings on Mount Tai give you a double shock of vision and mind.

3. Writing Scriptures in Wei and Jin Dynasties

Regular script writing in Wei and Jin Dynasties has a strong flavor of simplified Chinese characters, simple form and full of ancient meaning.

Although from official to official, we can see the posture of regular script in some details, such as some heavy feet.

Judging from these remaining bamboo slips and stone carvings, the faltering of official script has gradually weakened, and the form of regular script has been formed.

Judging from the contents of the articles found, the writing style of regular script has spread to all levels of society, which also represents the prevailing writing style in society at that time.

Some of these fonts look unofficial, while others are unofficial. The level is uneven and cannot be unified. After the transition period, regular script was formally formed.
