It is characterized by simple structure and continuous strokes.

It pays attention to "silkworm head and swallow tail" and "twists and turns". The structure of official script is flat, neat and delicate. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, pointillism such as strokes and strokes had been transformed into upward strokes, with changes in light and heavy pauses and the beauty of calligraphy art.
