Zhong Yao in the Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms,

The regular script he wrote was derived from Han Li.

The brushstrokes are like flying giants playing in the sea, extremely vivid.

Although there is a legacy of official division, regular script has been prepared.

In fact, he is the ancestor of Zhengshu and has a great influence on later generations.


Later, Zhong Yao's best student Wang Xizhi studied the small regular script calligraphy more carefully and perfected it, establishing the standard of Chinese small regular script beauty. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were no calligraphy competitions such as the "Zhong Yao Cup", no calligraphy training classes, and of course no professional calligraphers. People in the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote regular script without competition for fame and fortune, and without prizes and prizes. It was such aura and tranquility. Let’s enjoy it together:
