There is a symbol of Cao Quanbei in the official script, and the dot beside the symbol is a horizontal line. The whole font looks very square, so keep it when writing. The font of official script looks wide and flat, with long horizontal and short vertical. There are two kinds of horizontal bodies in Lishu: short horizontal body and long horizontal body. The short horizontal style starts from the pen and ends in the flat, and the horizontal style protects the tail, which is slightly like seal script. Official script is really developed from seal script, which turns complexity into simplicity, turns circle into square and turns arc into straight.
Seal script looks tall and straight, but it is very complicated to write, and it still retains the characteristics of ancient hieroglyphics. Cao Quanbei, whose full name is Han and Yang made Cao Quanbei, is an important inscription in the Eastern Han Dynasty and a masterpiece of official script in the Han Dynasty. The monument is about 1.7 meters high and 0.86 meters wide, which is very hard. Cao Quanbei's style is very elegant, which not only has high artistic value, but also has very important historical value.
Brief introduction of official script:
Official script is relative to seal script, and its name originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The appearance of official script is another great change of China characters, which brings China's calligraphy art into a new realm, is a turning point in the development history of Chinese characters, and lays the foundation for regular script. Official script is flat, neat and exquisite.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the painting methods such as skimming, pressing and pointing were beautified as upward provocation, with different degrees of severity and artistic beauty of calligraphy. Styles also tend to be diversified, which is of great artistic appreciation value. According to legend, Li Shu was compiled by Cheng Miao in prison at the end of Qin Dynasty, which simplified traditional Chinese characters, rounded fonts and changed strokes into straight ones. Changing "Lian Bi" into "broken pen" and changing lines into strokes makes writing more convenient.
"Li Ben" is not a prisoner, but a small official, that is, a small official in charge of documents, so in ancient times, official script was called "Zuo Shu".
