Who has made outstanding contributions to the development and evolution of Chinese characters?

Xiao Zhuan: Li Si (Xiao Zhuan, also known as Qin Zhuan, was created by Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty. The original books of Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han were written in different languages, which also needed to be unified. It is the command of ministers to innovate the writing style. As a result, Prime Minister Reese wrote Cang Xie, Zhongche Mansion ordered Zhao Gao to write a calendar, and Taishi ordered Hu Wujing to write a book of learning, all of which were changed and simplified. Xiao Zhuan, also known as Yujin Zhuan, is named after its meaning of writing. )

Official script: Cheng Miao (Cheng Miao was originally a jailer in Qin County, and was thrown into Yunyang prison for offending Qin Shihuang. After ten years in prison, he painstakingly pondered, profited and lost Xiao Zhuan, and wrote three thousand words of official script, which was the first emperor in the world. The first emperor adopted it and worshipped it as the suggestion. At that time, with the development of society, there were many government affairs and complicated documents, so it was inconvenient to use small seal script to record business orders. There was an urgent need for a simpler and more standardized text than small seal script to facilitate writing and engraving. At that time, it was urgent for the society to simplify the seal script, which led to the emergence of official script, a new font much more standardized than seal script. )

Regular script: Wang Cizhong (There are different opinions about the founder of regular script. Because since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, hundreds of years of writing, is the official script of the eight points and regular script writing mixed period. The more consistent view was created by Wang Cizhong of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Among the existing objects, only Zhong You's "He Kejie Biao" in Wei Dynasty can be called the ancestor of regular script. Zhong You is the first regular script calligrapher in the history of China. ) (Liu Gongquan and Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty were also models of regular script)

Running script: Liu Desheng (Running script is a kind of writing style between regular script and cursive script, which is created by Liu Desheng in Yingchuan of the later Han Dynasty, that is, the variation of regular script, which is simple and popular, so it is called "Running script". Since the Jin Dynasty, the running script has been the most useful and widely used, and almost all of them are used in general writing. (Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a model of running script)

Cursive script: Zhang Zhi ("this grass", also known as "a calligraphy")

Zhang Xu ("crazy grass")
