The specific evolution process of Chinese characters

The evolution of Chinese characters: Oracle Bone Inscriptions, inscriptions on bronze, seal script, official script, cursive script, regular script and running script. These seven fonts are called "seven Chinese characters".

Oracle Bone Inscriptions is an ancient script in China, which mainly refers to the script carved on tortoise shells or animal bones by the royal family in the late Shang Dynasty in China. It is the earliest mature Chinese character that we can see, and it is also the earliest known systematic carrier of Shang Dynasty characters in China and East Asia. It was first discovered by Wang.

The bronze inscriptions on Yin and Zhou bronzes are also called Zhong Dingwen. Shang and Zhou Dynasties were the bronze age, with the tripod as the representative ritual vessel and the bell as the representative musical instrument. "Zhong Ding" was synonymous with bronze ware.

Xiao Zhuan is a simplified character evolved from Da Zhuan, and it is also the product of large-scale standardization of Chinese characters by administrative means for the first time in China history.

Official script is a common solemn font style in Chinese characters. It is generally believed that it is developed from seal script, with wide and flat font, long horizontal painting and short vertical painting, and pays attention to "swallow tail of silkworm head" and "twists and turns".

Cursive script is a font in China's calligraphy, which has the characteristics of simple structure and continuous strokes.

Regular script is a common handwritten font style in China's calligraphy, and it is a modern popular handwritten Chinese character.

Running script is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, and it is a font between regular script and cursive script, which is divided into running script and cursive script.
