Regular script (Kaishu)

Regular script, known as Kaishu in Chinese, is a standardized style of Chinese calligraphy that became popular during the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD). It is characterized by its clear, easily legible characters, making it ideal for everyday writing and print. Unlike more artistic styles, Kaishu emphasizes uniformity and simplicity, allowing for efficient communication. Today, it serves as the foundation for modern Chinese handwriting and typesetting, making it an essential aspect of Chinese written language that balances aesthetic beauty with practical use.
