DEF

En calligraphie chinoise, il s'agit d'une écriture qui s'inspire de l'écriture des scribes. C'est ainsi que l'étalement en largeur est abandonné, les traits horizontaux raccourcis et le caractère s'inscrit à nouveau dans un carré. Des courbes sont encore remplacées par des droites ou des droites coudées mais par contre les profils anguleux disparaissent.
