What are the eight fonts in China?

Song style, Yan script, regular script, cursive script, official script, running script, bold type, imitation of Song Dynasty, etc.

1. Running script

Running script is a general term, which is divided into running script and running script. It developed and originated on the basis of regular script, a font between regular script and cursive script, in order to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the illegibility of cursive script.

"Walk" means "walk", so it is not as scrawled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. In essence, it is the cursive script or the cursive script.

those with more cursive methods are called "running cursive", and those with more cursive methods are called "running cursive". Running script is both practical and artistic, while regular script is a literal symbol, which is practical and skillful; Comparatively speaking, cursive script is highly artistic, but its practicality is relatively insufficient.

2. cursive script

is a specific font. Formed in the Han Dynasty, it evolved on the basis of official script for the convenience of writing. It is characterized by simple structure and continuous strokes.

cursive script is divided into zhangcao and today's grass, and now the grass is divided into big grass (also called wild grass) and small grass, which feels beautiful in the madness.

3. Official script

Official scripts, such as Qin Li and han li, are generally considered to be developed from seal script, with wide and flat glyphs, long horizontal paintings and short vertical paintings, and pay attention to "silkworms and geese's tails" and "twists and turns".

according to the unearthed bamboo slips, official script originated in the Qin dynasty, and it is said that Cheng Miao was an official, and han li reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, inheriting the tradition of seal script and opening the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which had a great influence on later calligraphy, and the calligraphy circle was called "han li Tang Kai".

4. Yan Shu

Yan Shu is a new style of China's calligraphy. Yan Shu, Yan Ti and Yan Shu Ti are a new style of China's calligraphy. Calligraphy, Yan Shu, reveals the front, receives the front, the center uses the pen, and takes the momentum from the bottom right, which not only inherits the traditional calligraphy, but also differs from the traditional calligraphy, showing a distinctive new style of calligraphy.

5. Song Style

Song Style is a Chinese character font that appears to adapt to printing. The strokes vary in thickness, and are generally horizontal and thin and vertical, with decorative parts at the ends (that is, "feet" or "serif"), and strokes such as dots, strokes, strokes and hooks have sharp points, which belong to serif fonts and are often used for text typesetting in books, magazines and newspapers.

the culture of the song dynasty flourished, and the printing industry developed greatly. from the southern song dynasty, fonts similar to printed characters began to appear in printing workshops in Lin' an and other places, which were later called imitation song style. During the Ming Dynasty, literati sought after Song Dynasty's engraved books, so the engravers thickened the vertical lines and the end points of strokes to resist the abrasion of engraving, but they still called it Song Dynasty. Modern so-called Song Style is basically shaped in this way.
