In the budding period of calligraphy (from the Yin and Shang Dynasties to the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms), writing evolved in sequence from oracle bone inscriptions, ancient inscriptions (bronze inscriptions), large seal scripts (Zhen inscriptions), small seal scripts, official script (eight points), cursive script, running script, and real script. .
