If you want to study seal script comprehensively, I recommend the following seal scripts:
Bronze Inscription (Da Zhuan): A three-dimensional disc? Mao Ji Pan? Hou Shu? Shi Guwen.
Small seal script: Langyatai stone carving, Taishan stone carving and Yishan stone carving.
1. Introduction to seal script: seal script is a general term for big seal script and small seal script. The brushwork is thin and powerful, with many straight lines. There are Fang Bi, round pen and sharp pen, and there are many "hanging needles" for writing. Big seal script refers to inscriptions on bronze inscriptions, bronzes and six-country scripts, which retain the obvious characteristics of ancient hieroglyphics. Xiao Zhuan, also known as "Qin Zhuan", is a commonly used character in Qin State and a simplified font of Da Zhuan, which is characterized by uniform and neat glyphs and is easier to write than Wen Shu.
Second, on behalf of:
Li Si, the originator of Xiao Zhuan, was born in Shangcai (now Shangcai County, Henan Province) during the Warring States Period. Later, he did the Qin Dynasty, and compiled and formulated the regular script and seal script of the Qin Dynasty. The stone tablet "Yishan" existing in Xi 'an stele forest was carved in the Song Dynasty. Most of the carved stones in the book have been destroyed, only two original stones remain. According to legend, Li Si wrote Qin Daijin and stone carvings. Qin has seven well-known identities, among which the length of characters is often very important, and Li Si's seal script is the crystallization of unifying eight characters on the basis of Qin Yuan's seal script. Golden eagles have the right, quantity and imperial edict, and stone carvings include Yishan, Taishan, Langyatai, Zhegang, Jieshi and Huiji. Therefore, the most famous calligraphy in the Qin Dynasty is the stone engraving of Qin Xiaozhuan. The Qin Dynasty in which Li Si lived was an important period in Chinese history. Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries, unified the world, and eliminated the chaos of the Warring States. Li Si was falsely accused by Zhao Gao and beheaded in Xianyang at the age of 70. Dignified, dignified and even solemn, the carved stone of Qin dynasty reveals the general situation of Qin empire under centralized dictatorship. The unified state of Qin is extremely powerful, which is reflected in the written language and must be adapted to it. However, Mr. Li Zhimin, a calligrapher, pioneer and professor of Peking University, believed that Qin Shihuang's unification of the six languages was of positive significance to the social progress at that time, but it was not necessarily conducive to the development of calligraphy art.
Third, the evolution of seal script: Since the Han Dynasty, it is generally believed that seal script was created by Zhou Xuanwang Taishi Chuan (827 BC). For example, Hanshu has 15 history books, and Ban Gu notes: "Zhou Xuanwang wrote 15 seals." Xu Shen also said: "Wang Xuan wrote fifteen pieces of Da Zhuan, which is different from ancient Chinese." Ancient Chinese or others, that is, Taishi increased and lost ancient Chinese, so Dazhuan is also called "Zhu Wen". Therefore, later generations all think that Da Zhuan is a form after ancient prose.
