Representative Works of Official Script
Official Script The representative works are respectively Han Zemu, Cai Youlin, Li Chao and Shi Weize who have been equally divided among the official script writers of the Tang Dynasty. Among them, Han Zemul ranked first among the four, and his representative work in official script is the "Stele of Sacrifice to the God of Xiyue". Shi Weize, known as "Shi Shilang", his representative work is "The Monument of Zen Master Dazhi". However, few works of Cai Youlin and Li Chao have been handed down to the world. In addition, the famous official script works of the Tang Dynasty include Xu Gao's "Songyang Guanji", Tang Xuanzong's "Shitai Filial Piety", Li Bai's "Up to the Balcony", Du Mu's "Zhang Hao Hao Shi", etc.
Since the Tang Dynasty, those who were good at official script were often not known for their official script. This situation continued until the Qing Dynasty.
There were many seal script masters in the Qing Dynasty. Such as Guifu, Wu Dacheng, Deng Shiru, Qian Xiu
In the Shang Dynasty seal script, there are alternate fat and thin strokes in the Shang Dynasty inscriptions, indicating that the brush was already used at that time and the consciousness of lifting and pressing the brush was developed. At the same time, different writing styles also appeared in the seal scripts of the oracle bone inscription period. Aesthetic categories such as vigorous, delicate, and eccentric in calligraphy have begun to emerge, which indicates that Chinese character writing has been elevated to an art in the Shang Dynasty. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he adopted the opinions of Prime Minister Li Si, implemented a unified writing policy, and designated Xiaozhuan (according to Li Si's creation) as the official script. At this point, the Qin script became the authentic Chinese calligraphy style. Xiaozhuan has the characteristics of being neat and round. The extant "Langyatai Stone Carvings" and "Qinshan Stone Carvings" can represent the Xiaozhuan style. Starting from the Han Dynasty, with the development of official script, seal script gradually lost its practical value and was only used on occasions that were particularly solemn and needed to be beautified. Seal script in the Han Dynasty was mainly used for writing on the forehead of monuments. Although the state of Wu in the Three Kingdoms had the "Tianfa Shen Prophecy Stele", its writing style was not flexible. Although it was called seal script, it was close to official script. Li Yangbing of the Tang Dynasty was famous for his seal script, but due to his lack of knowledge, the style of his seal script was not high. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the art of seal script was revived.
Before the Qin Dynasty, seal script was the main calligraphy style. Later, people felt a lot of inconvenience during the use of it, so they made it simpler, changed curved paintings into straight paintings, and changed circles into square folds, which became a fast , a new style that is easy to write, this is official script. The Eastern Han Dynasty was the mature and heyday period of official script. The works were spectacular and beautiful, reaching the peak of official script art. The ancient official script became more and more popular, and the form of seal script gradually became less and less. In the Han Dynasty, the official script completely got rid of the brushwork style of the seal script and innovated the ancient official script, making it smooth and graceful. What's wrong? The thickness of the strokes are intersecting, and the weights are corresponding. Most of the strokes have silkworm heads and wild goose tails. The fonts also change from rectangular to square and flat. In order to distinguish Qin Li, it is called: "Han Li". Because the waves of the Han Li are separated to the left and right, like the eight characters dividing the back, it is also called "eight points".
Official script is also called "Fenshu", which also comes from this
