Title A name given to the resource Clerical Script (隸書) Subject The topic of the resource Chinese Calligraphy Qin Dynasty (秦朝） Fonts Scripts Writing Styles Chinese Chinese Characters Description An account of the resource The clerical script is an archaic style of Chinese calligraphy which evolved from the Warring States period to the Qin dynasty, was a dominant script in the Han dynasty, and remained in use through the Wei-Jin periods. Due to its high legibility to modern readers, it is still used for artistic flavour in a variety of functional applications such as headlines, signboards, and advertisements. This legibility stems from the highly rectilinear structure, a feature shared with modern regular script. In structure and rectilinearity, it is generally similar to the modern script; however, in contrast with the tall to square modern script, it tends to be square to wide, and often has a pronounced, wavelike flaring of isolated major strokes, especially a dominant rightward or downward diagonal stroke.

Like sacrificial vessels in the ancestral temple and fragrant plants in the courtyard, you were a comfort to our hearts. In those days, you were blessed and happy. How could we imagined that the rebel traitors would commence our misfortune? But they took up arms and violated their submission [to the throne]. Your father [Yan Gaoqing] expended his integrity as commandery governor of Changshan, while I, too, had received a mandate at that time, in Pingyuan. My selfless older brother so loved me that he asked you to send word to me. You had already returned home and Tumen Pass was conquered; with the opening of Tumen Pass, the villains feared they would be pressed on all sides. A traitorous official [Wang Chengye] failed the rescue and so the orphaned city was besieged and compelled to submit. The father was taken and the son killed, the nest tipped and the eggs overturned. Heaven has no regret for this calamity, but who else could cause such suffering? I remember how you met with your cruel death, but could we ransom all those people. Alas, how I grieve! Since that time, I have been graced with the Beneficence of Heaven and transferred to shepherd the flock on the He-Guan border [Pu-zhou]. After Quanming found me and Changshan was retaken, he retrieved your encoffined head and has now returned together with it. The memory of your death is revived in me and the shock of grief in my heart and my face is just as it was on that distant day. I send this announcement to your abode in the nether world, that your spirit may have knowledge of it. Do not weep there long. Alas, how I grieve! May you accept this offering.

Goat hair brushes were said to origin from the Northern and Southern Dynasties and were made out of a goat's tail or chin hair. Goat hair brushes were not properly used until the Southern Song Dynasty, and were not popularised until the Qing Dynasty.

Before starting to write, wet the brush with water, and dry it with some paper, then hang it on a brush holder to dry for about 7-10 minutes. Make sure that the brush is not completely dry when writing, leave some moisture in it to make sure it mixes well with the ink. After using the brush, wash it immediately with water and tidy the bristles with the current of the water. Make sure not to use soap as it contains chemicals which can damage the brush. It is important to wash the brush immediately as the ink can dry, making it difficult to wash it off later, and damaging the brush.
