The so-called seal script is actually a seal script, which is an official letter. It is a standardized common font for official documents. According to literature records, there was no special name for Chinese calligraphy before Qin, but Xiaozhuan gradually evolved from the Qin characters in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because it is an official document, Xiaozhuan is only suitable for solemn occasions, such as engraving stones to record meritorious service, Uncle Liang's imperial edict, and military and tiger talismans. The style of standard seal script is neatly arranged, rounded, and even and long, showing a solemn and beautiful style. Compared with oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, it has the following basic characteristics: the fonts are slender, tightly drawn, and extended downwards, forming a The visual illusion of dense top and sparse bottom is also related to the top-down organizational layout. The lines are well-proportioned, regardless of the length of the stipples, and the strokes are uniform in thickness. This kind of even strokes in strength and speed gives people a pure and simple aesthetic. Coupled with the tendency of font structure to be simple and fixed, the compositional layout of Xiaozhuan script can form a more orderly sequence of vertical and horizontal lines. Qin seal scripts are divided into round and square scripts. The round script is represented by Qin carved stones; the square script is represented by Qin Zhao's copyright and is the popular style of Qin seal script.
The Han and Wei dynasties were the end of the Qin Dynasty seal script. Except for the seal script used for inscriptions and artifacts, it was rare to have an independent seal script.
Tang seal script was revived due to Li Yangbing's appearance, but the rich and majestic spirit of Qin seal script has disappeared.
The study of epigraphy in the Song Dynasty and the retro style of calligraphy in the Yuan Dynasty made the use of seal script a slight trend. There are many people who are famous for seal script, but they lack the power to surpass them.
The trend of inheriting the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty gradually became the same. The seal script of the Qing Dynasty was full of flowers, and it entered a stage of great prosperity that pushed the Tang Dynasty over the Qin Dynasty.
