Style for writing Chinese characters

The regular script is the newest of the Chinese script styles, popular starting from the Three Kingdoms period c. 200 CE, and stylistically mature by the 7th century. It is the most common style used in modern text. In its traditional form it is the third most common in publishing after the Ming and Gothic types used exclusively in print.

The Calligraphy Manual of the Xuanhe Era credits 王次仲 with creating the regular script, based on the clerical script of the early Han dynasty. It became popular during the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms periods, with Zhong Yao (c. 151230 CE), a Cao Wei calligrapher, being credited as its first master, known as the "father of the regular script". His famous works include the c=宣示表, c=薦季直表, and t=力命表. Qiu Xigui known as t=魏楷 or t=魏碑. Thus, the regular script is descended both from the early semi cursive style as well as from the neo clerical script. The script is considered to have become stylistically mature during the Tang dynasty, with the most famous and oft imitated calligraphers of that period being the 'Four Great Calligraphers of the Early Tang' (初唐四大家): Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, and Xue Ji, as well as the 'Yan–Liu' tandem of Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan. During the Northern Song dynasty, Emperor Huizong created an iconic style known as c=瘦金體. During the Yuan, Zhao Mengfu also became known for his own calligraphic style for the regular script, called t=趙體. Ninety two rules governing the fundamental structure of regular script were established during the Qing dynasty; the calligrapher Huang Ziyuan [zh] wrote a guidebook illustrating these rules, with four characters provided as an example for each.

The Eight Principles of Yong are said to include varieties of most strokes used in the regular script. Regular script characters with dimensions larger than are usually classified as 'large' (c=大楷); those smaller than are usually classified as 'small' (c=小楷), and those in between are 'medium' (c=中楷). Notable writings in the regular script include the Northern and Southern era Records of Yao Boduo Sculpturing (姚伯多造像記) and Tablet of General Guangwu (廣武將軍碑), the Sui era Tablet of Longzang Temple (龍藏寺碑), Tombstone Record of Sui Xiaoci (蘇孝慈墓誌), and Tombstone Record of Beauty Tong (董美人墓誌), and the Tang era Sweet Spring at Jiucheng Palace (九成宮醴泉銘).

Fangsong typefaces are based on a printed style which developed during the Song dynasty, from which Ming typefaces also developed. The most common printed typeface styles, Ming and sans serif, are based on the structure of regular script. Japanese textbook typefaces (教科書体) are based on regular script, but modified so that they appear to be written with a pencil or pen. They also follow the jōyō kanji character forms. Bopomofo, although not logographic, are virtually always written with regular script strokes.
