The appearance of official script is a great change in the history of calligraphy and even writing. Since then, calligraphy has bid farewell to ancient Chinese characters that lasted for more than 3,000 years and opened modern Chinese characters. The structure of characters no longer has the pictographic meaning of ancient Chinese characters, but is completely symbolic. Official script is a qualitative change and transition, connecting the preceding with the following, seal script and regular script.
As a kind of calligraphy art, it has broken the limitation of single pen in the original seal script and has undergone very rich changes. Ancestors called the writing style of seal script "jade chopsticks", that is, jade chopsticks, which are horizontal, flat and vertical, even and round. The structure of words is very strict and rarely changes. Official script is not like this.

Use a pen wisely and comprehensively, or Fiona Fang can do both.
