Netizens praised her, saying, "Blaming the pen and blaming the paper, but never blaming oneself." s_f0ef7497972c4b05be14907cb28b8e4f.jpg The information shows that the Slim Gold Script is a typeface created by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, which is a highly distinctive script in the history of calligraphy.

The Slim Gold Script is characterized by thin strokes, in contrast to the thick and rigid strokes of long verticals, horizontals, and hooks. The short verticals and horizontals of the Slim Gold Script are thick, round, and written with a central tip.

Moreover, the hooks and strokes of the Slim Gold Script are exaggerated, creating a strong contrast with the thin strokes, making them very eye-catching.

It is known that there are many works of the Slim Gold Script handed down from Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. The "Thousand Character Classic in Regular Script" was written by Zhao Ji at the age of twenty-three for the minister Tong Guan. At this time, the Slim Gold Script had already taken shape, with a free and flowing brushwork, showing his profound calligraphy skills.

Zhao Mengfu praised Emperor Huizong's Slim Gold Script as follows: "The so-called Slim Gold Script has a beautiful and elegant structure, with a delightful charm." s_947bc2021c1b47989823688b49a5aaa1.jpg
