The '''regular script'''{{efn|name=names}} is the newest of the major [[Chinese script styles]], emerging during the [[Three Kingdoms]] period {{circa|230&nbsp;CE}}, and stylistically mature by the 7th century. It is the most common style used in modern text. In its traditional form it is the third-most common in publishing after the [[Ming typefaces|Ming]] and [[East Asian Gothic typeface|Gothic]] types used exclusively in print.<ref>{{Citation |title=Chinese Writing |work=Asia Society |url=https://asiasociety.org/education/chinese-writing |access-date=2023-10-01}}</ref>
