regular script
Regular script, also known as real script, official script and modern official script. Regular script is "regular script", which is also legal, formal and modular. The cursive name is scrawled and rough, while the regular script name is the opposite. Although there are also cursive writers in seal script and official script, in this sense, neat script can also be called "regular script", but the regular script here refers to the self-contained and now common "regular script", such as Ou Yangxun, Liu Gongquan and other inscriptions and postscript. There are different opinions about the founder of regular script. Because hundreds of years of writing in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is a period when the official script is mixed with the meaning of regular script. The more consistent view was created by Wang Cizhong of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Among the existing physical objects, only Zhong You's A Watch with Jack in Wei Dynasty can be called the ancestor of regular script. Zhong You is the first regular script writer in the history of China. Today's regular script, with dignified strokes, evolved from the founder of ancient Chinese characters, the beauty of eight points and the simplicity of Zhang Cao (note: Zhang Cao refers to "the kind used in the articles of association", which is a font that simplifies eight points and is easy to write). Since Zhong You wrote "regular script" in the Three Kingdoms period, this font has been used to this day and is regarded as a standard font, which is loved by the world.
Semi-cursive/running/calligraphy (China's calligraphy)
Running script is a kind of writing form between regular script and cursive script, which was created by Liu Desheng in Yingchuan in the later Han Dynasty, that is, the variant of regular script is simple and popular, so it is called "running script". Since the Jin Dynasty, the running script has been the most useful and widely used, and almost all common characters have been used.
Associative compound
A knowing character is a Chinese character composed of two or more Chinese characters, and its meaning is often the combination of the meanings of several Chinese characters it contains. For example, "Ming" is composed of the words "sun and moon", because "sun and moon" are all shiny things, so "Ming" means "bright and bright"; The same is true of "tipping" that everyone has learned. Isn't the "small" above and the "big" below a "tip"? The most interesting word is "tears", which is composed of "water" and "eyes". The word "water" in "eye" is tears.
Ancient bronze inscriptions
The calligraphy style of Chinese characters that appeared after Oracle Bone Inscriptions was inscriptions on bronze. Because this kind of writing was cast on various bronzes, it got its name, also known as Zhong Dingwen or bronze inscription. Up to now, the earliest bronzes with inscriptions are all in the middle of Shang Dynasty. The inscriptions are very simple and the writing is similar to that of Oracle Bone Inscriptions. The most representative is the bronze inscription of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Bronze inscriptions are also found on various Yi vessels, musical instruments, weapons, weights and measures, coins, bronze mirrors and metal seals. Among them, the number of articles uploaded by Easy Ship is the largest. The words on various utensils are longer and more complete than those on Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and there are hundreds of words. For example, in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Great Yu Ding contained 29 1 characters.
Big seal and small seal
Seal script is divided into big seal script and small seal script, which is an important stage in the development history of Chinese characters. Compared with Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan's style is simplified, but the number of words is increasing, which is the requirement of the times. The transformation from ancient Chinese characters to Da Zhuan and Da Zhuan to Xiao Zhuan is of epoch-making significance and occupies an important position in the history of China characters.
hieroglyph
Ideographic characters originated from painting and are easy to identify and distinguish. Such as "people, eyes, mountains, fire, wood, fish" and so on. "Yuan" means the beginning or the first. "Dan" is a hieroglyph, which means that the sun rises from the horizon. The pictograph "Dan" appeared on bronzes in China during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The earliest Chinese characters are picturesque, such as the word "moon", which is like a curved crescent moon; For example, the word "mountain" is more like a slant mountain with three peaks.
