Calligraphy dictionary font

The main calligraphy fonts are: regular script (including regular script and regular script), running script (including running script and cursive script), cursive script (including,, big grass and standard cursive script), official script (including ancient and modern Li) and regular script (including). ) and seal script (including big seal script and small seal script) are also called regular script, real script and official script. Li Shu, founded by Cheng Miao, has gradually evolved and become more simplified and upright.

Regular script has the meaning of model, which was first mentioned in Zhang Huaiguan's Shu Duan. People in the Six Dynasties still used it habitually, such as Yang Xin's Cai, and On the Biography of Wei Shou, saying, "Shou is a general, and Jingzhao people are good at regular script." That's the abbreviation of "eight-block method", which didn't replace the name of the official book until the Northern Song Dynasty, and its content was obviously different from the ancient name. There is probably an example of the above. Running script is developed and originated on the basis of official script, which produces a font between regular script and cursive script to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the fuzziness of cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence. Those with more patterns than grass patterns are called "running patterns", and those with more grass patterns are called "running grass".
