Traditionally, the artistic character refers to a font that is framed and colored with a ruler or written directly with a brush, and is mainly used for posters, slogans and other large-character posters for meetings and publicity. After the development, bold characters (strokes of the same width) were added.

The so-called artistic characters are much broader, which can be seen in flower-and-bird paintings with multicolored characters. All kinds of variant characters express various images, and there is even a so-called artistic signature that Lian Bi can't understand. Typical words in books, such as how to write a blackboard newspaper, are many artistic words.

Therefore, calligraphy is based on imitation of Song Dynasty, which has the norms and characteristics of regular script.

Artistic characters are not regular script, and have nothing to do with running script. It is a word that is freely played with the creative thinking of the writer, but it has no body.
