Features: The Han Dynasty was the golden age of Chinese calligraphy history. The Han Dynasty inherited the systems of the Qin Dynasty, with official documents of the court primarily written in seal script, while the common people and lower-level officials used clerical script. Due to its simplicity compared to seal script and its fast and convenient writing style, clerical script was full of vitality, leading to its adoption by the ruling class in edicts, inscriptions on stone and metal, and official documents. This promoted the development of writing and made clerical script the dominant script style of the Han Dynasty. This book is worth reading for calligraphy enthusiasts.
