1, Korean seal
The Han dynasty inherited the Qin system, and Xiao Zhuan is one of the important applied characters. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was gradually replaced by official script, but it was still used in many special and important occasions, so the Han Dynasty was also a period worthy of attention. Its book remains mainly include: inscriptions, inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, brick carvings, bricks and tiles, ink and so on.
2. Official script
In the Han Dynasty, Lishu not only formed its own independent personality and aesthetic characteristics through the process of bureaucratization, but also had a general trend of development in the direction of laxity and standardization.
On the one hand, Lishu gradually broke away from its original practical position in the extreme of overemphasizing the convenience of writing, and then in the process of constantly planting grass, because of the different writing movements, what we call Cao Zhang and modern grass finally formed;
On the other hand, it shows the normative construction of the original writing form of official script, which is based on the formal order.
3, cursive and running script, regular script
Cursive script is another font that matured in the Han Dynasty. Cursive script can be divided into Cao Zhang and Cao Jin. According to legend, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhi gradually promoted Cao Zhang to grass, but there was no definite proof.

Structural characteristics of official script
1, square scattered around.
The official script changed from the normal vertical position of seal script to the horizontal position, forming a flat shape, and the strokes contracted the vertical position and strengthened the horizontal exhibition.
2, pen silkworm head pen swallow tail
This is a typical feature of the pen used in official script, especially in official script, which almost always uses horizontal painting. The so-called "silkworm head" refers to hiding the (reverse) front in the process of using the pen, and at the same time writing the stroke shape formed in the process of starting the pen into a shape similar to that of the silkworm head. "Dovetail", that is, press the pen at the pen-receiving place, and then pick the pen obliquely to the upper right.
3. Turn a circle into a square and an arc into a straight one
These are two basic methods to simplify seal script in official script. But if you don't know the circle of seal script, it is not easy to master the side of official script. Because the straight painting or square folding in official script contains the arc potential of seal script, the straight of official script often has obvious ups and downs and is full of vitality. In fact, the brushwork of official script is based on the way of stroke movement.
4. Change the picture to a point and the connection to a break.
We know that there is no point in seal script, that is, the point used is just a dot. However, the points in the official script are independent, no longer attached to the painting, and the point methods are increasingly rich, including flat points, vertical points, left and right points, three points (by water) and four points (by fire).
5. Strengthen the thickness change of lifting.
In seal script, there is no trace of the vertical lifting of the pen, while the official script deliberately emphasizes the lifting, which forms a significant change in the thickness and inheritance of the stroke trajectory, and the three processes of starting, walking and collecting the pen are clearly reflected. This is very similar to later regular script.
