Regular script is also called "official script" and "real script". It gradually evolved from official script and became more simplified. The font is changed from flat to square, and the strokes are simple, omitting the wave potential of Han Li. It is horizontal and vertical, characterized by neat rules, so it is called Kaifa. Because of this, calligraphy can be used as a "model" calligraphy, which has been used ever since. Regular script prevailed in the Six Dynasties and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty. This font is still the key for beginners to learn calligraphy.
2. Official script:
According to legend, the official script was compiled by Cheng Miao who was not in the prison of Qin Dynasty. By eliminating complexity and simplifying, the font becomes round and square, and the strokes become straight. Changing "Lian Bi" into "broken pen" and changing lines into strokes makes writing more convenient. This style of writing is popular among "disciples" (small officials who write in lower-level offices). So it's called official script. In the Han dynasty, this style of writing began to prevail and became the main style of writing.
The appearance of official script is a turning point in the development history of Chinese characters, which laid the foundation for regular script. Official script is flat, neat and exquisite. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the painting of skimming and pressing was beautified as upward provocation, with different degrees of severity. It enhances the aesthetic feeling of the plastic arts of calligraphy, enriches the style and greatly improves the artistic appreciation value.
3. Run the script:
Running script is the rapid writing of regular script, which is said to have started in the Han Dynasty. There is no neat regular script and no draft cursive script. Running script with regular script or close to regular script is called "running script", and cursive script or close to cursive script is called "running script".
4, cursive script:
Cursive script is a combination of dots and dashes according to certain rules, with simple structure and easy borrowing. It is not arbitrary scribbling. The feature of cursive script is that the artistic appreciation value is greater than the practical value. Generally speaking, there are two kinds: Cao Zhang and Cao Jin. Cao Zhang is a simple and quick official script style, and the characters are independent and unconnected. Nowadays, Cao Cao is a quick script of regular script, and the strokes between the upper and lower strokes are often implicated.
5. Run the script:
A font between regular script and running script. Brief introduction of Jin Shilin: "If the running script is really like the post of two kings, nine times out of ten. The same is true of the sacred religion, xingfu and Confucius Temple tablets collected by monk Huairen and others. "
In the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shizhen wrote "The Story of's Three Zhaos in Song Xue": "Zhao Songxue wrote Du Shi in calligraphy, with Zhu Sizhu and Zi as the running script." The 40th story of Legend of Heroes of Children: "Adults opened the famous letter and saw that the letter under it was a piece of paper with a small fly's head on it."
Running script is the most popular among all kinds of fonts, and its popularity and longevity are due to its practicality and randomness. It can be divided into two categories: running script and running script.
We are used to calling the font between regular script and running script running script. Because of its randomness, it has greater flexibility and difficulty in learning. In the form of pen, it can be said that it is simplified, Lian Bi and sketched on the basis of regular script. In terms of glyphs, it breaks too smoothly, resulting in a visual situation of seeking movement in silence.
