2. Wang Cizhong, a native of Shanggu (now southeast of Huailai County, Hebei Province), was a calligrapher of the Qin Dynasty.

Needless to say, it is used by the people. Only government officials bemoan the accumulation of official documents and the slow approval.
Wang Cizhong, who is nearly in his twilight years, is well aware of the necessity of writing reform, so he extensively collects all kinds of Zhong Ding utensils and imperial regular script, copies them, arranges them in the same shape and different characters, compares them with each other, ponders over them repeatedly, spends hundreds of sleepless nights, and finally creates a set of tortuous eight-part script, which is divided into two parts.
Wang Cizhong typed this sentence on the court. After Qin Shihuang saw it, he felt it was simple and convenient, and he agreed with it very much. He recruited Wang Cizhong to be an official in Xianyang, the capital. Write rules. However, Wang Cizhong's lofty nature and three refusals angered Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang thought he didn't respect himself, so he sent people to Beijing by prison car.

However, the eight-point book created by Wang Cizhong has become a masterpiece that has spread widely and benefited future generations.
