Regular script is the most popular font in China. We usually hear about seal script, including big seal script, small seal script and official script, which are very popular in ancient China. Including Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the word we know best in Qin Dynasty. It also developed slowly in the course of history. It needs neat strokes, pointing, skimming, lifting, etc. The requirements are very high. For example, the words written in our ordinary school textbooks and the words practiced by school students belong to regular script. This is also the font that most conforms to the public aesthetic, and the handwriting is neat. Horizontal and vertical? The whole word requirement looks stable, and all parts such as the radical and the main body require coordination. For thousands of years, there have also been very famous calligraphers in China. For example, Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Yan Zhenqing and so on, all of which are familiar to us.

The cursive script is very distinctive. It is a very loose font and will be called graffiti. The more scribbled, the more distinctive it will be. The cursive script appeared earlier and has been developed in China for thousands of years. Appeared in the Han dynasty, the requirement of writing cursive script was relatively rapid. So it is very untidy, and the upper and lower words are often connected together. Even every word has its own characteristics, and unfamiliar people can't even see it.
Slowly developed into the Tang Dynasty, this font also became an art, and its function of transmitting information gradually weakened.

In fact, any kind of calligraphy style requires high standards, whether it is simple or relative.

For regular script, it is highly practical, and for cursive script, it is artistic. It appeared in the late Western Han Dynasty to the early Eastern Han Dynasty, and developed well and completely. Fonts in running scripts vary in size, even greatly. The number of words in a line is not necessarily, some are long and some are short, which is very free.
