Clerical script is a style of Chinese calligraphy that originated during the Han dynasty and became popular for its clear and structured form. Characterized by its distinct strokes and simplified shapes, clerical script emphasizes legibility, making it suitable for official documents and record-keeping. The characters in clerical script often appear broader and more rectangular compared to earlier styles, such as seal script. This writing style played a significant role in the development of Chinese calligraphy and laid the groundwork for later styles, influencing how characters are written and perceived in contemporary Chinese writing.
