What are the most common calligraphy fonts?

1, seal script

"Seal script" is a kind of writing form, which presents the fun of matching form with form. The broad sense of seal script includes Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions on bronze. The seal script here is especially limited to the big seal script and the small seal script. Generally, the ancient prose and essays in the pre-Qin period are called "Da Zhuan", while the words compiled by Li Si are called "Xiao Zhuan".

2. Official script

The emergence of "official script" is to deal with the increasingly complex official document processing. In order to meet the requirements of quick writing, Cheng Miao, a prison official in Qin Dynasty, made this square font, which changed the structure of seal script and emphasized horizontal, vertical and tight frame. Official script is much more convenient than seal script, which saves a lot of precious time for future generations and is also of great academic value.

3. Regular script

"Regular script" is a kind of writing improved by the official script font in Han Dynasty, and now people call it regular script. Because regular script is more convenient to write than official script, people in Han Dynasty used it to meet the needs of real life. Regular script reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and calligraphers such as Yan Zhenqing were magnificent and unique, which had a great influence on later generations.

4. Running script

"Running script" is between regular script and cursive script, which is not as good as official script or seal script. In other words, it is a variant of regular script, so it is called running script because it looks like a person walking. It is generally believed that the running script originated in Liu Desheng in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and changed slightly in the early Wei Dynasty. The two kings made it very popular. It is very convenient to write and can achieve the purpose of emergency. Most of the famous running script works in the past dynasties are like the sand number of the Ganges River, especially the Preface to Lanting written by Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

5, cursive script

There are many names of "cursive script", such as Caozhuan, Cao Li and Kuangcao. Its structure is simple, the strokes are correct, the writing is smooth and fast, and it is difficult to identify; However, due to the above characteristics, there is a wonderful idea that "books are inexhaustible and pens are inexhaustible". Among the five types of calligraphy, cursive script is the most abstract artistic feature. Those who were able to write cursive script in the past dynasties, such as Wang Xianzhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huai Su in the Tang Dynasty and Yu Youren in modern times, were able to find their own way in the chaos.
