Calligraphy in Han Dynasty can be divided into two forms: one is the mainstream system of stone carvings in China; One is tile seal, and the other is bamboo and silk alliance calligraphy and ink. The Monument to Yun Qi in the Later Han Dynasty is a symbol of Han Li's maturity. Among the cliff stone carvings (words carved on cliffs), Ode to Shimen is the most famous, and calligraphers regard it as a "masterpiece". At the same time, Cai Shark's "Jia Jing" reached the requirements of restoring ancient ways to Li and opening a tire. Inscription is the most important art form reflecting the times and phonology, among which Feng Longshan, The Story of the Western Chamber, Kong Zhou, Yi Ying, Chen Shi, Zhang Qian and Cao Quan are especially admired and imitated by later generations. It can be said that each monument is unique and has no similarities. The northern book is magnificent, while the southern book is simple, which embodies the different aesthetic pursuits of the "scholar" and "vulgar" classes. As for the tile seal and the simple silk script, it embodies the combination of artistry and practicality.
