1, font size:
Block letters are relatively large, generally more than 5 cm, with thick strokes and strong momentum. However, the small font is generally between 1~3 cm, with fine strokes and exquisite details. The difference in font size leads to the difference in pen and skill in writing.
2. Use a pen:
There are also differences between capital letters and capital letters in the use of pens. The strokes in block letters are relatively thick, which requires great strength and long strokes to show its majestic characteristics. Small letters, on the other hand, require precise and delicate strokes, pay attention to the connection between strokes and the tight structure, so as to show their exquisite and delicate aesthetic feeling.
3. Practice difficulty:
Relatively speaking, the practice of block letters is less difficult, because the font is larger, the structure is clear and it is easier to master. The practice of lower case letters is more difficult, because the font is smaller, the structure is compact, the requirements for strokes, pens and knots are high, and the requirements for writing skills and patience are higher. This difference in difficulty also leads to different methods and emphases of study and practice.
4. Tension of regulations:
Block letters pay more attention to the majestic performance, so we should pay more attention to the tension of statutes when writing, that is, on the basis of ensuring the accuracy of fonts, we can show its unique charm through the changes of brushwork, rhythm and structure. Small letters, on the other hand, pay attention to calmness, continuity and rigor of strokes, so as to show their peaceful and restrained beauty.
5. Artistic style:
Capital letters and capital letters are also different in artistic style. Capital letters have a large font and obvious structure, and pay more attention to the display of bold and unconstrained momentum and personality, so it is easier to form a unique artistic style in calligraphy creation. Small letters, on the other hand, pay more attention to delicate expression and strict statutes, so they pay more attention to the accumulation and application of skills and techniques in calligraphy creation.
Four regular script:
1, Ou Yangxun-European body:
Born in the first year of Emperor Yongding of the Southern Dynasties (557), he died in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong (64 1). He was born in Linxiang (now Hunan) in Tanzhou.

2, Yan Zhenqing-Yan Ti:
Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is deeply rooted in his own school, and Yan's regular script embodies a prosperous and magnificent style; The reason why cursive script makes Mi Fei in Song Dynasty look like four books is that those book posts are often scribbled in a state of extreme grief and indignation, and readers can appreciate the flavor from this article. Emotion is dissolved in art, and artistic talent breeds soul. Most excellent arts in history have not violated this standard.
3. Liu Gongquan-Liu Ti:
Calligraphy in the late Tang Dynasty experienced prosperity in the middle of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but it also reached its peak and declined. Although Liu Gongquan's fame was popular for a while, he was still slightly better than Yan Shu. Liu Gongquan's regular script involves Ou Yangxun's brushwork, and some strokes are often closely interspersed, which is particularly broad, fine and angular. Although the pen was written by Yan Zhenqing, it is different from Yan Zhenqing's vigorous and broad style, which is particularly heroic.
4. Zhao Mengfu-Zhao Ti:
Zhao Mengfu (1254- 1322) is a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang. Official to Hanlin Bachelor, Doctor Rong Lu, Duke Wei, History. He is the author of Song Xuezhai Collection.
