Qin's short story The shorter the Chinese characters, the better.

Calligraphy in the Qin Dynasty-Qin Xiaozhuan and Qin Shihuang unified the world, and implemented a series of reforms. Among them, unifying Chinese characters is a very important policy. This kind of calligraphy inherits the inscriptions and stone inscriptions of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Qin State, and will be integrated with the calligraphy styles of various places. It is the first unified font in China and the key to change the history of books. During the Qin Dynasty, there were few traces of seal script preserved in stone carvings, among which the monument erected by Qin Shihuang was the most important, while the original stones and rubbings of Langxietai and Taishan still existed. The truth can be seen in the imperial edict of Shi Quan for twenty-six years. Xiao Zhuan is also called "Qin Zhuan". It was Li Si of the Qin Dynasty who was ordered to unify the script, called Xiao Zhuan. It was popular in the Qin Dynasty. The shape is long, even and neat, and it evolved from Da Zhuan. Xu Shen's Record of Explaining Words in the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "Qin Shihuang was the first emperor in the world, ... but he was not in harmony with Qin Wen. (Li) The company wrote Cang Xie, the CRRC office ordered Zhao Gao to write Love Calendar, and the Taishi ordered Hu Wujing to write Bo Xue, all of which were based on history as a big seal, or quite preserved, so-called small seal. " Today's remains (Langyatai Stone Carvings) and "Taishan Stone Carvings" (pictured) are the representative works of Xiao Zhuan. It is said that the seal script carved by Qin Quan was written by Li Si. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he implemented the policy of "writing in the same language and cars on the same track". The policy of unified measurement has been taken care of by Prime Minister Reese. On the basis of the original seal script used by Qin, it was simplified, and the variant characters of other six countries were cancelled, creating a unified Chinese character writing form. It was popular in China until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and was gradually replaced by official script. But because of its beautiful font, it has always been favored by calligraphers. Because of its complex strokes and simple form, it is possible to add twists and turns and seal cutting at will, especially the official seal that needs anti-counterfeiting. Seal script was always used until the collapse of feudal dynasty and the emergence of modern new anti-counterfeiting technology. All the words in Kangxi Dictionary are also marked with seal script writing.
