People who often travel to Lanzhou on business may find that the two characters "Lanzhou" and "Lan" on the plaque of Lanzhou Railway Station are fine at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find it a bit strange, because the character "Lan" has three horizontal lines, which is something everyone knows. Generally, the last horizontal line is longer than the previous ones, but this character "Lan" is completely the opposite. Its first horizontal line is longer than the first one. Now, let's discuss this issue.

Seeing this alternative writing style, many netizens are wondering, who wrote this? They may wonder, did the workers reverse the order of the letters when spelling? This series of questions flashed through his mind. It seems that it was not an assembly error. If it was an assembly error, it would be impossible for no one to notice it for so long, so there is only one possibility, that is, the engraver made a mistake.

It is reported that these characters were written by Zhang Bangyan, a famous calligrapher in Gansu. I believe that many people who love calligraphy are familiar with them. He is proficient in Han bamboo slips, has his own unique insights into Youren's calligraphy, and has a lot of experience in the use of calligraphy. How could such a calligrapher write the wrong characters? However, this seems impossible, so everyone is discussing whether the first horizontal character is wrong or not, and many people are complaining. I have checked the calligraphy dictionary on the Internet, but I can't find the source of this character. Have you found it?
