What are the fonts of calligraphy? There are many kinds of calligraphy fonts. China's writing is profound and has a long history. We should inherit excellent traditional culture and carry forward the spirit of the Chinese nation. Let me introduce the font of calligraphy. Come and have a look.

Calligraphy 1 What fonts are there?

According to the traditional classification, calligraphy fonts can be divided into five categories: running script fonts, cursive script fonts, official script fonts, seal script fonts and regular script fonts, and each category is subdivided into several subcategories. For example, seal script can be divided into big seal script and small seal script, regular script can be divided into Wei Bei Tang's book, and cursive script can be divided into Cao Zhang, modern grass and wild grass.

Run the script:

Running script is a kind of calligraphy, which is divided into running script and running script. It is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, and it is a font between regular script and cursive script, which is produced to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the illegibility 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". Running script is both practical and artistic, and regular script is a literal symbol, which is practical and skillful; Comparatively speaking, cursive script is highly artistic, but its practicality is relatively insufficient.

Cursive script:

As a specific font, cursive script was formed in the Han Dynasty and evolved from official script for simplicity. From the development of cursive script, the development of cursive script can be divided into three stages: early cursive script, Cao Zhang cursive script and modern cursive script.

Early cursive script and official script were parallel, generally called official script, but in fact some forms of seal script were mixed. The early cursive script broke the strict rules of official script and was a hasty writing. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Zhang was further "grassed" and the strokes of Lishu were removed. The upper and lower characters and strokes are connected, and the radicals are simplified and borrowed, which is called "modern grass".

Official script:

Official script, such as Qin Li and Han Li, is generally considered to be developed from seal script, with wide and flat font, long horizontal drawing and short vertical drawing. Official script is developed from seal script, which simplifies seal script, turns circle into square and arc into straight.

Seal text:

Seal script is a general term for big seal script and small seal script. Big seal script refers to inscriptions on bronze inscriptions, bronzes and six-country scripts, which retain the obvious characteristics of ancient hieroglyphics. Xiao Zhuan, also known as "Qin Zhuan", is a commonly used character in Qin State and a simplified font of Da Zhuan, which is characterized by uniform and neat glyphs and is easier to write than Shu Zhuan.
