From the perspective of calligraphy, both Wen Shu and Jin Wen are called "Da Zhuan", and Shi Guwen is its representative. Its characteristics are more standardized and more mature than the bronze inscription, which reflects the transition from bronze inscription to small seal script.
Wen Shu is also called Da Zhuan. Shuowen Jiezi has preserved more than 220 essays. Wang Guowei, a modern scholar, thinks that these words are "left and right unified, slightly complicated, with less image meaning and more formal meaning".
The representative of Wen Shu is now Shi Guwen, named after the book written by Zhou Xuanwang Taishi.
On the basis of the original text, he transformed it and got his name because it was engraved on the stone drum. It is the earliest stone carving text that has been circulated so far, and it is the ancestor of stone carving. There are also two kinds of variant characters, one is called ancient prose, and the other is called Shu prose, which refers to the characters in Shi Shuo Xin Yu Pian that are different from Xiao Zhuan. Shi Guwen and Mantra Chu Wen handed down from ancient times are the works of Qin in the middle of the Warring States Period.
Both of them belong to the big seal script, and most of them are the same as the small seal script. There are also many essays in Shuowen. It is unknown how many words there are in Shi Shuo pian. Xu Shen has read 9 articles and quoted 220 different words.
