What are italic characters

Regular script is a font of Chinese characters, also called regular script, regular script, true script, and regular script.

It gradually evolved from the official script and became more simplified, horizontal and vertical.

The book "Cihai" explains that it has "a square shape and straight strokes, which can be used as a model."

This kind of Chinese character font is correct and is the modern traditional handwritten Chinese character.

Regular script is also an official name.

"New Book of Tang·Hundred Officials 2" records that there are 20 regular script writers in Zhongshu Provincial History Museum and 18 regular script writers on national history.

As an official name, regular script is also called regular script hand. The person in charge of writing is juxtaposed in the same organization, and the specific division of labor is different.

"Tongdian·Twenty-Two Officials" records that the regular script writer is an official with outstanding honors from outside.

In the Song Dynasty, there were no regular calligraphers, but regular script writers.
