The development of Chinese characters in China:
The development of Chinese characters in China is an important part of China culture and an important cornerstone of Chinese civilization. The development of Chinese characters has a long history, which has experienced thousands of years' evolution and witnessed the changes and progress of China's history and culture.
The earliest Chinese characters can be traced back to Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, which is a kind of writing carved on tortoise shells and animal bones. The shape of Oracle Bone Inscriptions is very abstract, and it needs some understanding ability to recognize it. With the passage of time, Chinese characters have gradually developed into different writing forms such as inscriptions on bronze, seal script, official script and regular script, and each form has its own unique artistic characteristics.
During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, implemented the policy of "the same language is not named", and made Xiao Zhuan a national standard character. The strokes of Xiao Zhuan are more standardized and concise, and the glyphs are clearer and easier to recognize. The Langya stone carvings and Taishan stone carvings in this period are all representative works of Xiaozhuan calligraphy.
In the Han Dynasty, the development of Chinese characters entered a new stage. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the writing of Chinese characters began to be simplified, and official script and regular script were gradually formed. Among them, the appearance of official script marks the development of Chinese characters to simplified characters, with simpler strokes and straighter glyphs, which is suitable for fast writing. Regular script is the foundation of modern Chinese characters, and it has become the mainstream form of Chinese character writing because of its standard font, clear strokes and rigorous structure.
