Extended information
: After Qin Shihuang unified China (221 BC), Xiaozhuan implemented the principle of "writing with the same text and writing with the same text". Prime Minister Li Si was responsible for the policy of unifying weights and measures. Based on the large seal script originally used by the Qin State, he simplified it, canceled the other Six Kingdoms scripts, and created a unified Chinese character writing form. It was popular in China until the end of the Western Han Dynasty (about 8 AD), and was gradually replaced by official script. But because of its beautiful font, it has always been favored by calligraphers. And because its strokes are complex, its form is ancient, and twists and turns can be added at will, seals were carved in seal script, especially official seals that required anti-counterfeiting, until the fall of the feudal dynasty and the emergence of new anti-counterfeiting technology in modern times.
