Whether it is in study or work, people will write typos when writing. Although technology is becoming more and more developed, it is much more convenient to use mobile phones and computers to type, but learning is still inseparable from writing by hand. The impact of typos in personal daily life is not very big, but the impact of typos in public places is not good. There is one of the most outrageous railway stations in China. The station name "typos" has not changed for more than 60 years. What's the matter?

A railway station located in Lanzhou, China, has a history of more than 60 years since its construction. People who have been there should have seen it. The word "Lan" here is longer than the two horizontal lines on the top. This is similar to what we have learned. The spelling of the lan character is different. The lan characters we write are always shorter than the top two, and the bottom one is the longest. If it is really a typo, it has been so long, why hasn't anyone corrected it yet?

It turns out that this word is not a typo as we think, but a special calligraphy font. The name of this train station was inscribed by Mr. Zhang Bangyan, a famous Chinese calligrapher, and Mr. Zhang Bangyan's writing style made the word Lan be written as we see In this way, in fact, in the pen of many calligraphers, similar fonts will appear, and the characters we usually write are simplified.

In fact, there are more such examples than this. There is also "Zhang Qian Stele" in which love is both Yujun and covered with a scorpion. The original text should be the word ji. Writing also has special meanings. After all, Chinese culture is broad and profound. Many things we don’t understand have different and profound cultural meanings, which also reflects the inclusiveness of Chinese culture.

For the station name of a railway station, it is definitely impossible to use typos. The reason why it has not been changed is because of the reasons mentioned above. So do you guys know where special fonts are used?
