What is the significance of official changes in the history of Chinese character development?

Official script is a kind of font with clear starting and ending strokes, which is called the seal script slips of Yanbian. Because official script originated from the scribbled writing of seal script, the two scripts have a long existence period from the late Warring States to the middle and late Western Han Dynasty.

Transforming a scribe into a scribe is a revolutionary change in the development of Chinese characters, completely liberating Chinese characters from pictographic meanings. After the Confucian classics were transformed into ancient Chinese characters, Chinese characters entered the present writing stage, which promoted the continuous development and perfection of the Chinese character system and opened a new chapter in the development of Chinese characters. This change is of epoch-making significance in the history of China writing and calligraphy. Therefore, it is necessary to study the connotation, reasons and influence of the change of official script.
