The Han dynasty inherited the Qin system, and Xiao Zhuan is one of the important applied characters. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was gradually replaced by official script, but it was still used in many special and important occasions, so the Han Dynasty was also a period worthy of attention. Its book remains mainly include: inscriptions, inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, brick carvings, bricks and tiles, ink and so on. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, inscriptions flourished, and the position of Xiao Zhuan was replaced by official script, and there were not many inscriptions on Xiao Zhuan. There are three representative categories: Mu Kai Temple and Shao Shi.
The Han Dynasty is no longer the prosperous period of bronzes, but bronzes are still widely used, mainly some daily necessities. The inscriptions on them are mostly the name of the vessel, the place of use, the year of casting, the name of the craftsman, the weight of the vessel and so on. Rong Geng's Jin Wen Lu of Qin and Han Dynasties has a large collection of such inscriptions.
