In the process of “writing with the same text”, Qin Shihuang ordered Li Si to create Xiaozhuan, and then adopted the official script compiled by Cheng Miao. Xu Shen of the Han Dynasty recorded this in "Shuowen Jiezi" that after Yingzheng unified the script, the Han Dynasty revived and discovered the history of traditional script: "...Qin burned scriptures.
Purchasing the old scriptures, There was a large increase in the number of officials and soldiers, the establishment of military and garrison services, and numerous official and prison duties. It was originally written as a clerical script, and the ancient writings were extinct from this."

In the development of official script, there are 8 types of strokes in the eight methods of Yongzi. The official script has a round pen, while the official script has a square and round pen, and the strokes have different thicknesses.
The points in official script are different from the middle point, the upper point, the left point, the right point and the horizontal point. The writing method is to lift the pen upwards, turn the pen back to the right, pause the pen downwards, and then turn the pen back to the point. The difference between the dots in official script and the dots in seal script is that there is a change of leaning to the side. The way to write the upper point is slightly the same as the middle point, except that the last stroke does not draw back into the point, but gradually moves downward. The way to write the left, right and horizontal points is the same as the upper point, but the starting position is. and the direction of attack are different.
