After Zhao Mu, the style of calligraphy changed gradually, and the strokes became unified from coarse to fine. The pen-receiving and pen-starting also changed from Fiona Fang to round pen; The lines are even and square, and the book style is extremely rigorous and correct. The representatives of this period are the elegant ode tripod, the elegant big tripod and the Mao Gong tripod with a little early style.
Eastern Zhou Dynasty: After moving eastward, Qin moved the capital to Yong and inherited the hometown and culture of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Because of this, the characters of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are in the same strain as those of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Because of this, when the characters in eastern countries have horizontal variation due to regional characteristics and cultural reasons, the culturally backward Qin characters have become the orthodoxy of Chinese characters (even if we don't consider the fact that China was finally unified by Qin, we can think that in the history of Chinese characters development, Qin characters represent the mainstream of Chinese characters development, while the six-country characters represent the tributaries. )
Therefore, the characters in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period can be divided into two categories: Qin characters and Six Kingdoms characters. (The Qin script is from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, and the Six-country script refers to the eastern countries in the Warring States Period. ) General philologists are also called "western languages" and "eastern languages".
After the Qin dynasty unified the six countries, it began to standardize the writing, which is the so-called "same language writing". The standardized characters in the Qin Dynasty were based on the Qin language, and the evolution of Chinese characters after the Qin Dynasty was also developed on the basis of the standardized Qin Xiaozhuan and Qin Zhuan's daily writing form. After the Qin Dynasty, the six-nation script was eliminated, and Qin Wen became the real mainstream.
Therefore, Qin Shu is an important link in inheriting the ancient prose of the Western Zhou Dynasty, creating official script of the Han and Wei Dynasties, and even regular script. Its change can be regarded as a part of the evolution of Chinese characters according to their own internal structural laws.
Therefore, as far as philology is concerned, the study of western languages in the Qin Dynasty is more important than that in the six countries, because they are direct blood relatives of Chinese characters, while the six countries are collateral branches, although they also influence and absorb each other.
The bronze inscriptions in the Qin dynasty gradually came to an end, and there were not many stone carvings. After Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, testimonies, scales and stones were carved or cast on copper and iron and promulgated in the world.

Extended data
With regard to the origin of bronze inscriptions, the traditional view is that it originated in Shang Dynasty, prevailed in Zhou Dynasty, and was developed on the basis of Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Bronze inscription is a kind of writing engraved on the bell or top of bronze ware. Bells are mostly musical instruments, and ding is mostly ritual vessels. The words engraved on it are mostly about remembering or praising merits. This inscription, some concave Wen Yin, some convex Yang Wen.
The former is called Duan, which means lettering; The latter is called "knowledge", which means remembering. Therefore, bronze inscriptions can also be collectively referred to as "knowledge of Zhong Ding". The meaning of "money knowledge" in calligraphy creation of later generations evolved from this.
