Calligraphy research
Li Jiahao, a professor of Chinese Department in Peking University, pointed out that most of the characters and fonts in Liye Qin Bamboo Slips belong to Qin Li, which evolved from Xiao Zhuan, similar to Sleeping Tiger Bamboo Slips in Longgang, Hubei. The professor said that after Qin unified China, characters were written in the same language, and seal script was used all over the country. However, there are exceptions on some occasions. For example, in order to pursue practicality, convenience and conciseness, official documents are written in Li Qin.
Guo Weimin, deputy director of Hunan Institute of Archaeology, said that a large number of bamboo slips found in Liye Qin Bamboo Slips include ancient seal script, ancient official script and official script with regular script in the middle. Characters are written in pen and ink, with neat handwriting and smooth brushwork; Bamboo slips have different fonts and postures.
Zhang Chunlong, an ancient philologist, thinks that the characters in Liye Qin bamboo slips are centered, with vigorous brushwork and bright artistic conception. Many strokes in Qin bamboo slips, especially the left, right, vertical and dotted strokes, are very beautiful. There are so many bamboo slips that it is of great significance to study the evolution of Biography and Li Shu.
