Miao Zhuan (a seal script used to copy seals in Han Dynasty)
The so-called Miao seal script is a kind of seal script used to copy seals in Han Dynasty. One of Wang Mang's six books. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Shen recorded six books of Xin Mang in the Preface of Explaining Words, saying, "Five words are wonderful, so they are copied." The shape is even and square, full of the meaning of Li, and the rule of writing has evolved from the roundness of Xiao Zhuan to the twists and turns. It has the meaning of saving for a rainy day, hence the name. In the Qing Dynasty, Gui Fu's Miao Zhuan Yun called the multi-body seal characters used in Han and Wei Dynasties "Miao Zhuan". Also known as "copying".
Eight characters were used in the early Qin Dynasty: big seal, small seal, seal cutting, snail script, copy, official script, official script, official script. Among them, the imitation is "Wonderful Biography". The Han dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Han dynasty mainly used official script and Miao seal (also known as Han seal).

1: Qin Lisi's Carving Stones in Yishan
In the ten years after the unification of China, Qin Shihuang made five long-distance missions to various places in order to strengthen his control over the whole country. In the twenty-eighth year of the King of Qin (2 19 BC), when he visited Yishan in Deng Tao County, the hometown of Qilu, Shandong Province (now southeast of Zoucheng, Shandong Province), he climbed high and looked far, full of passion, and said to his ministers, "Since I am here, I can't help but write an inscription for future generations." Li Si immediately wrote a seal character and sent someone to Stone Mountain. This is the famous "Yishan Stone Carving" in Qin Dynasty.
It can be seen from "Yishan Stone Carving" that Lisi's calligraphy is vigorous and smooth, with rounded lines, symmetrical structure and even stippling thickness, which has both the beauty of patterns and the tendency of flying smartly. The superb attainments of calligraphy covered up the antecedents and dispersed the later sages, making it difficult for all the people who wrote Xiao Zhuan to enter its territory and become the best manuscripts for later generations.
The stone carvings are vertical and rectangular, watery and rocky, with lettering on all sides. The monument is 1.9 meters high and 0.48 meters wide, all the same. The front and left sides are engraved with words praising Qin Shihuang's achievements, and the back is engraved with Qin Ershi's letters. Xiao Zhuan, with 5 lines on each side, has 222 words: * *: "When the emperor founded the country, Wei Chu came first, and the heir was king. Crushing rebellion in troubled times, sublime four poles, and upright martial arts. He gave a letter to Chen Rong, and soon after, he wiped out six violent forces. Twenty-six years, high recommendation, filial piety. Not only to provide success, but also to provide special benefits and visit distant places. Climbing the mountain, the ministers follow, and the thoughts are long. Think of troubled times, and divide the country into folk countries for argument. Work hard every day and bleed in the wild. Since Taigu, there have been countless people in the world, and it is impossible to ban the five emperors. Today's emperor, a world. No more soldiers, no more disasters. The first step is to settle down, which is beneficial in the long run. The ministers recited the outline and carved this happy stone as a broker. The emperor said:' The stone is the opening, and the first emperor does it. The stone is not called the first emperor. It was a long time ago, too. If the heir did it, it wouldn't be called success. The prime minister's minister and his minister went to the hospital, and the imperial envoy Demei said,' Please carve an imperial edict, because the inscription is very clear. I don't want to die. The system said,' Yes. ' "? This inscription has destroyed 37 words, and there are still 185 words.
2. Qin Lisi's Taishan Stone Carving
Also known as "Taishan Monument": Taishan Stone Carving was established in the 28th year of the First Emperor (2 19 BC) and is the earliest stone carving in Taishan. The first half is the time when Qin Shihuang visited Mount Tai in 2 19 BC. The second half was carved in the first year of Qin Ershi Hu Hai's reign (209 BC).
The carved stone is wide and narrow on all sides. Both inscriptions were written by Li Si. Calligraphy is rigorous and vigorous, steady and peaceful; The glyph is fair and symmetrical, slender and beautiful; The lines are as round as iron, and the more round they are; Symmetrical structure, horizontal and vertical, clumsy outside and clever inside, suitable density. It has extremely high artistic value.
Mount Tai stone inscription "Historical Records of the First Qin Emperor" contains: In the 28th year of the first emperor, he traveled to various counties in the east and went to Zou Yi. Set up a stone, consult with Confucian scholars in Lu, carve a stone to praise Qin De, and discuss the Zen sacrifice to mountains and rivers. So he went to Mount Tai, set up a stone, sealed it and put it in a shrine to worship. It rained and the storm came, so I rested under the tree, because I named it Wuxia. Zen Fu Liang. When carving a stone, the word says: the emperor ascended the throne, formulated a clear law, and the minister revised it. There are six years in 20 years, and I am not convinced to join this world for the first time. Pro-people who travel far away, climb Mount Tai and travel to the East Pole. Thinking from the minister, the reason, only reciting merits. Treatment operation, properly made, there are laws to follow. The righteousness is clear and clear, hanging over future generations. The emperor bowed to the saints, which not only calmed down the world, but also made unremitting efforts to govern the country. Can't sleep at night, build long-term benefits, and be good at teaching. The precepts are proclaimed, the distance is complete, and the sacred records are passed down. Divide the noble and the humble, treat men and women with courtesy, and keep your duty. Zhao's internal and external separation, impurity, applied to the heir. Become infinite, obey the testamentary edict, and always bear the ring.
3. Tang Li Yang Bing's "City God Temple" and "Three Graves".
Li, who was famous for his seal script in Tang Dynasty, was a great change. He is known as the first seal script writer after Li Si, which has a great influence on later generations. Since Qin Lisi created Biography, it has been more than a thousand years since Han, Wei, Jin and Sui and Tang Dynasties. Scholars only think that real grass is the attack, and biographical research is useless. Li took seal script as his own responsibility and began to study Li Si's Yi Mountain Monument. He inherited the jade-tendon brushwork, but changed his style. The lines flatten into beautiful flows, which makes them look elegant.
"synopsis of the golden chamber" says that "Yang Bing is especially good at calligraphy, and he is full of ink. At that time, people called it a pen tiger. " Zhang Xu's brushwork is also learned from Lee. In old age, seals become more and more vigorous. Self-proclaimed: "After Sian (Reese) to Xiao Sheng. Cao Xi and Cai Yong are not enough. " Kang Youwei's "Zhou Guangyi Shuangji" called it: "Winning by thinness, if" Thousand Gua Ming "is beneficial to thinness and destroying ancient laws."
At that time, Yan Zhenqing's inscription must have been written by Li with seal script. In the Qing Dynasty, it was also said in "Summer of Gengzi" that seal script had been promoted by Li since Qin and Han Dynasties, which showed its high evaluation.
4. clear. Deng's Thousand-Character Works
Deng (1743— 1805) was a seal engraver and calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, the founder of Deng School, and a native of Huaining, Anhui Province. At the beginning, Yan's name was stone statue, which avoided the taboo of Emperor Jiaqing, so he used the line character, and later he became more stubborn. Living at the foot of Wangong Mountain, also known as Baishan, Youdao, Fengshui Fisherman and Longshan firewood, seal cutting is not very good. He lived in Jinling Mei's house for eight years, copying rare stone books collected since Qin and Han Dynasties.
Deng was a great calligrapher of epigraphy in Qing Dynasty, who was good at four books. He was especially good at seal script, taking Qin Lisi and Tang Li as his ancestors, and later learned Zen Mountain Monument, Sangong Mountain Monument, Tianbu Monument, Shi Guwen, Yi qi brushwork and Han Monument. He used official script as seal script, which broke through the barrier of imperial seal for thousands of years and opened up a new world for seal script in Qing Dynasty. His seal script is criss-crossed, and the font is micro-square, which is close to Wadang and Hanbei in Qin and Han Dynasties.
Deng was also a seal engraver, who initiated the Deng School in Huizhou School. He entered the seal script with the small seal script and emphasized the brushwork. His style is vigorous, simple and graceful, and calligraphy and seal cutting complement each other. Deng's seal has the characteristics of "horse racing in a sparse place, but not in a secret place"
