Dazhuan, also known as Zhuan (zhòu) text. It was named after it was recorded in Shi Shuo pian. History of Han Dynasty: "Fifteen poems, printed by Mrs. Shu of Zhou Shi." There are 225 Shuo Wen, which was collected by Xu Shen on the basis of nine Shi Shuo, and it is the main material for us to study Da Chuan today.
The original seal script is generally considered as "Shi Guwen". Ten drum-shaped stone piers were originally unearthed in the south area of Chencang (now Baoji, Shaanxi Province) in Tianxing County in the early Tang Dynasty. They were about three feet in diameter, small at the top and large at the bottom, and flat at the top, shaped like steamed bread. It is engraved with ten four-character poems written by Qin Xiangong in the eleventh year, which is the earliest stone inscription in China. Lost and found, lost again. More than 700 words were originally engraved, and more than 300 words are now in existence. These ten stone cities exist in the Forbidden City. Because the content recorded the hunting, it was named "Hunting or Carving Stones Forever". Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, thought this stone was shaped like a drum, so he renamed it "Shi Guwen". Now he is the representative of Da Zhuan.
Shi Guwen has a vigorous and dignified style. The font structure is neat, the strokes are even and round, horizontal and vertical, and the shape tends to be square. Da Zhuan largely retains the writing style of the late Western Zhou Dynasty, but slightly changes, making the strokes more neat and symmetrical. The strokes are round. The lines are more uniform than the bronze inscriptions, and the lines have reached a complete level, with no obvious unevenness in thickness. The body structure is more neat than the bronze inscriptions, and it began to get rid of the shackles of hieroglyphics, laying the foundation for square Chinese characters. There are few variants on the same object. The font is complex, the radicals often overlap, and writing is inconvenient.
As early as more than 6000 years ago, symbols carved on pottery and pictures depicting objects had the embryonic form of words, and then in the long development, pictographic (picture) words were produced. Three thousand years ago in Shang Dynasty, the word "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" carved on tortoise shell bone was thin and straight, and the strokes were insignificant. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, inscriptions cast on bronze wares such as bells, ding, money and weapons were called "inscriptions on bronze" or "Zhong Dingwen", and calligraphy became more and more neat, round in style and rich in glyphs. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the characters carved on stone drums were called Shi Guwen. The strokes are vigorous and dignified, slightly square in structure and beautiful in style. The above Oracle bones, inscriptions on bronze inscriptions and Shi Guwen were called "Da Zhuan" in Qin Dynasty.
The rubbings of bronze inscription "Songshiding" were widely used in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is said that it was created by Boyi in Xia Dynasty. Bronze inscriptions are words engraved on all ancient bronzes. During the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, the fonts of various vassal States were different. The words engraved on unearthed bronzes are not universal and have changed in different years.
Wen Shu is the script used by the ancient Qin State, and it is the predecessor of Xiao Zhuan. Shi Shuan Shu written by Qin people in the Spring and Autumn Period has 223 words, so it is called Wen Shu. It is said that "book" means "reading". According to textual research, Shi Guwen unearthed in the Tang Dynasty was carved by Qin Xianggong, which is the same as the text in Shi Shuo pian, and is the representative of Shuo Wen.
Wen Shu is a written language used in the late Zhou Dynasty. In order to show national prestige, Zhong Dingwen's original text was simplified to Wen Shu. For details, see "Poems and Books". It is also the predecessor of Xiao Zhuan. Because Shi Shuo pian has 223 words, it was written by Shi Shu at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, so it is called Wen Shu. It is said that "book" means "reading". According to research, the "Shi Guwen" unearthed in the Tang Dynasty was carved by Zhou Xuanwang when he was hunting. Presumably, it is similar to the Chinese characters in Shi Shuo pian, and it is the closest representative of the bolt text.
