Who invented all kinds of fonts in calligraphy?

After the invention of printing, in order to meet the needs of printing, especially the printing of books and periodicals, characters gradually developed in the direction suitable for printing, and a horizontal, vertical and square printing font-Song Style appeared. It originated in the Song Dynasty in the golden age of block printing and was shaped in the Ming Dynasty, so the Japanese called it "Ming style". Songti is the main font used in publishing and printing, because it is suitable for printing and engraving and people's visual requirements when reading.

The origin of Chinese characters is an unsolved mystery. Speaking of Chinese characters, I have to mention Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Archaeological evidence of Shang Dynasty Oracle Bone Inscriptions first appeared 3,300 years ago, nearly 2,000 years later than the ancient Egyptian and Sumerian scripts in the two river basins. Up to now, * * * has found more than 5,000 Oracle characters, of which about 1700 characters can be recognized. To some extent, China, as one of the four ancient civilizations, has no reason to lag behind others so much! At the same time, we found that the earliest Oracle Bone Inscriptions had a certain degree of understanding and pictophonetic elements. In these Oracle Bone Inscriptions, "literacy" accounts for less than 80%, and pictophonetic characters account for more than 20%. This is very different from other early hieroglyphics such as the ancient Egyptians and Sumerians.

Some people think that the level of science and technology in ancient China is far less than that in ancient Egypt and ancient Greece. When the ancient Egyptians had built huge pyramids with huge stones, China had only rammed earth buildings. The ancient Egyptians had carved exquisite hieroglyphs on hard stones, while China could only carve rough scratches on animal bones or tortoise shells. But look at China's Oracle Bone Inscriptions's abstraction, but it is far higher than those of ancient Egypt. Chinese characters seem to have directly crossed the early stage of early hieroglyphics and entered a more abstract and advanced stage. There is almost no pictographic stage in the development of Chinese characters: pictophonetic characters, and the so-called pictographic characters have been highly abstracted in Oracle Bone Inscriptions stage. Later, with the evolution of Chinese characters, Chinese characters are no longer purely ideographic characters. When the Greeks built the exquisite sculpture of the Parthenon and the Romans built the huge dome of the Pantheon, China only had the rammed Great Wall and pottery sacrifices to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Qin and Han Dynasties, while the seal script of the Qin Dynasty was a unified national standard, and the official script of the Han Dynasty was very close to today's Chinese characters.
