The historical evolution of seal script came into being in the pre-Qin and Fu periods in China. Archaeologists proved that Oracle Bone Inscriptions was painted on tortoise shells and animal bones. Because it is used for divination and predicting good or bad luck, it is called "Oracle". But it already has the basic elements of China's calligraphy art: pen, structure, composition and so on. During the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, the inscriptions carved on the Yi wares of Zhongding, that is, bronze inscriptions, also known as "Zhong Dingwen", were widely popular.
After the unification of Qin Shihuang, they were collectively called "Xiao Zhuan", also known as "Qin Zhuan". The so-called seal script is actually an official script. It is a standardized common font for official documents. According to documents, there was no special name for the characters of Chinese characters in the pre-Qin period, and Xiao Zhuan gradually evolved from the characters of Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because it is an official book, Xiao Zhuan is only suitable for major occasions, such as remembering merits and carving stones, measuring imperial edicts, playing tiger symbols and so on. The style of standard seal script is neat arrangement, round strokes, even and long lines, showing a solemn and beautiful style. Compared with Oracle Bone Inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, the standard seal script has some basic characteristics: the font is slender, the pen force is tight, and it stretches downward, which constitutes the visual illusion that the upper part is dense and the lower part is sparse, which is also related to the top-down layout. Symmetry of lines No matter how long the stippling is, the strokes are even in thickness. This kind of brush with even strength and speed gives people a pure and simple aesthetic feeling. In addition, the font structure tends to be simple and fixed, and the chapter layout of Xiao Zhuan calligraphy can form a sequence of vertical and horizontal lines. The round pen is different from the round pen, which is represented by Qin carved stone; Fang Bi, represented by the Imperial edict of Qin Dynasty, is a popular style in Qin Zhuan.
The Han and Wei Dynasties were a spent force for Qin Zhuan. Apart from inscriptions, seals and objects, there are few independent seals.
In the Tang Dynasty, seal script was revived because of the appearance of Li, but its heroic spirit was gone.
With the study of epigraphy in the Song Dynasty and the retro style of calligraphy in the Yuan Dynasty, the right to use seal script has risen slightly, and many people are famous for seal script, but they lack the power to surpass it.
