Chapter 316 Regular script appears and witnesses history
Xiao Han stood aside and watched quietly as several big guys bickered.
A trace of longing flashed in his eyes, wondering if he would have such an old friend by his side when he gets old.
"Hey, take a closer look. Is this font different from what we usually write?"
Mr. Xu made a sound of surprise. He had been sighing just now, but now he looked carefully and found something different.
"Well, this font looks more square and rigorous. It is indeed different from the fonts we usually use. It's very beautiful~"
Touching his beard and looking at the rice paper on the table, Mr. Qin's face became serious.
After hearing this, the dean and the other two big guys also looked closely.
Seeing their reactions, Xiao Han's heart moved and his mind was running rapidly.
It turns out that due to negligence, he wrote the four characters "Ziqi Donglai" in regular script that has never appeared in this world. Now he needs to explain it carefully.
With doubts, the five old people looked at Xiao Han.
Hope he can bring answers.
"Ahem~ Some seniors have good eyesight. This is indeed a new font."
Under the gaze of the big guys, Xiao Han touched his nose unnaturally and opened his mouth to explain.
New font?
Upon hearing this word, the dean and the others were immediately stunned, and several of them looked at each other.
What did they hear? This is actually a new font.
They suspected that Xiao Han was joking with them.
With the development of calligraphy up to now, there are only a few types that are truly universally popular.
If it were so easy to come up with new universal fonts, then there would already be all kinds of signboards on the street, and there would be no need for special research.
Xiao Han probably changed the original font slightly and did not form a systematic font library.
"Are you sure it's a complete new font? Didn't you just change a few characters at will?"
Looking at the suspicious eyes of several big guys.
Xiao Han cleared his throat and had to continue explaining.
"This is indeed a new font, I call it regular script."
As he spoke, Xiao Han became more and more confident, looking up at the dean and others.
Since he was the first to use it, this is his invention.
Besides, he already had some objections to the current written language, which was too cumbersome. If he proposes his idea today, he might be able to replace it in the future.
Regular script? When the dean and the others heard this unfamiliar name and looked at Xiao Han's confident expression, their expressions moved and they motioned for Xiao Han to continue.
They wanted to see what Xiao Han could say.
Seeing that the dean and the others had finished digesting, Xiao Han continued to speak.
"As for why it is named Kaishu, it is because it has a square shape and straight strokes, which can serve as a model."
With that said, Xiao Han walked to the desk and pointed to the four big characters on the rice paper.
"Seniors, please take a look. These four large characters are square in shape, evenly spaced, straight and rigorous in structure. They have a sense of dignity. Isn't it very appropriate to call it regular script?"
Xiao Han talked eloquently, and his whole body was filled with confidence.
"This~"
At this moment, facing Xiao Han's questioning gaze, the deans looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to say.
The real situation is that what Xiao Han said was well-organized and well-founded, and they were suppressed.
Finally, the dean stood up.
"Since you said this is a new font, have you systematically studied it? Or did you just change a few words?"
The dean frowned and looked at Xiao Han. He was originally full of good feelings, but now he has opinions.
I originally thought that Xiao Han was calm enough, but I didn't expect that he also had a common problem among ordinary young people - impetuousness.
Are new fonts that easy to create?
As the dean raised the question, Lao Xu and the others also looked at Xiao Han.
See what else he can say.
Do you have real talent or knowledge, or are you just exaggerating?
"We have systematically studied it, otherwise we would not have given it a regular script name. We have created a relatively complete font library starting from strokes."
Faced with their questions, Xiao Han did not hesitate at all and answered simply and neatly.
The dean and the others looked at each other and were a little stunned by Xiao Han's answer.
What did they hear?
Already have a complete font library?
Isn't this a joke~
Today is not April Fools' Day, and they don't want to hear jokes.
"Xiao Han, do you know how difficult it is to systematically create a font library? Let me ask you again, is what you said really true? Has it really been systematically created? This is the regular script you are talking about."
The dean fixedly looked at Xiao Han. He wanted to give Xiao Han a chance to repent.
He didn't want to watch this outstanding young man sink deeper and deeper into fraud.
Seeing the dean and the others, their faces became more and more serious.
Xiao Han knew that it would be impossible if he didn't show something real.
He directly entered the system space and began to customize a complete set of regular scripts.
Not caring about arguing with Goudan, Xiao Han turned around and left after getting the USB flash drive.
Goudan was left in a daze in mid-air.
"Dean, I, Xiao Han, have never told any lies. Here are all the information about regular script. As for the authenticity, you can confirm it yourself."
In just a flash, Xiao Han's consciousness has returned.
He took out the USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to the dean.
Looking at the USB flash drive in Xiao Han's hand, the dean and several big bosses shrank their eyes.
They didn't expect Xiao Han to be really prepared.
Several people looked at each other and nodded to the dean.
"Laoguan, since Xiao Han has taken it out, let's take a look. If it is true, it is not a trivial matter."
If everything is true as Xiao Han said, it will have an impact on China's writing standards.
The current writing standards are too cumbersome and are not conducive to the spread of knowledge.
Since decades ago, relevant departments have been studying new standards for writing.
It is a pity that a suitable font has not been developed for such a long time.
It should be simple and easy to learn, but also beautiful and standard.
In the meantime, I don’t know how many experts have turned their heads gray.
Their biggest wish and goal now is to research it quickly.
As members of the cultural circle, the deans are well aware of the difficulty involved.
Today, Xiao Han told them that he had developed a simplified new font. Of course they were shocked.
"Come on, the computer is over here. You can open it and show it to us."
With that said, the dean pulled Xiao Han quickly towards the desk.
They couldn't wait and were eager to verify the truth of what Xiao Han said.
If it were true, they could not imagine how much impact Xiao Han would have on the cultural circle.
With the fan humming, the computer starts up.
Xiao Han was forced into the seat, and several big guys stood behind him with their necks stretched out, looking at the screen eagerly.
Insert the USB drive, find the folder marked with regular script, and click on it.
The dean and the others stared with wide eyes, unblinking.
"This is the interpretation of the radicals in regular script. This is the one-to-one correspondence between the current font and regular script. You can take a look."
With that said, Xiao Han stood up and gave up his position.
Looking at the dense text on the screen, several old people were cleaning their glasses and looking for reading glasses.
I was in a hurry for a while.
They know that today they may have to witness history.
