From the word-making in Cangjie to Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Jinwen (bronze inscription), Shi Guwen (inscription in Qin Dynasty), Wentong (seal script in Qin Dynasty), official script in 600 years (official script), regular script in 700 years (cursive script) and Tang Xing (official script debut). At this point, marked by the maturity of regular script, the physical structure of Chinese characters has basically evolved. In the later dynasties, except Oracle Bone Inscriptions, other calligraphy styles did not quit the historical stage, but appeared in various forms and postures. Sublimate simple writing into a professional art-calligraphy art.
Evolutionary model:
Seal script has fixed the number of strokes of each character, and official script has formed a new stroke system, and the font is gradually flat and square; After the birth of regular script, the font of Chinese characters tends to be stable, and the basic strokes of "horizontal, vertical, scattered, point, press, pick and fold" are determined, the stroke shape is further standardized, and the number and order of strokes of each herringbone gradually tend to be stable.
For more than a thousand years, regular script has been the standard character of Chinese characters. Chinese characters are an ideographic writing system based on pictophonetic characters, with pictophonetic characters as the main body, totaling about 10 thousand, of which about 3 thousand are the most commonly used. The earliest script appeared in the late Shang Dynasty, about14th century BC, when the initial stereotyped writing, namely Oracle Bone Inscriptions, was formed. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is both a hieroglyph and a phonography. Until now, there are still some pictographs in Chinese characters, which are very vivid.
