In the heyday of calligraphy (Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Sui and Tang Dynasties), the art of calligraphy entered a new realm. From seal script to simple cursive script and real calligraphy, it became the mainstream style in this period.
The appearance of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, made the art of calligraphy shine brilliantly, and his artistic achievements were highly respected in the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, a number of calligraphers appeared in the Tang Dynasty, such as Yu Shinan, Ou Yangxun, Jun Yiliang, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan.
In calligraphy attainments, each has his own merits and diverse styles. After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, China's calligraphy became a national symbol, representing the profoundness of China culture and the eternal charm of national culture.

Famous fonts in the history of calligraphy:
1, official script
Li Shu, including Qin Li and Han Li, is generally considered to be developed from seal script, with wide and flat font, long horizontal painting and short vertical painting, and paying attention to "silkworm head and goose tail" and "twists and turns".
According to the unearthed bamboo slips, official script originated in Qin Dynasty, and Cheng Miao was also called official script. Han Li reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, inherited the tradition of seal script, and opened the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which had a great influence on later calligraphy. The calligraphy circle is known as "Tang Kai of Han Li".
2. Regular script
Regular script is also called regular script, real script and official script. It gradually evolved from official script, becoming more simplified and more horizontal and vertical. Ci Hai is interpreted as "square, straight and exemplary". This kind of Chinese character has the correct font and is a modern popular handwritten orthographic Chinese character.
Regular script is also the official name. There are 20 regular calligraphers and 18 regular calligraphers in the provincial history museum of New Tang Book. Regular script, as a formal name, is also called regular script player, who is in charge of calligraphy and writing, and is listed in the same institution because of the different specific division of labor. "Tongdian Official Twenty-two" records that the regular script writer is an outstanding official. There were no regular script players in Song Dynasty, only regular script.
