Oracle Bone Inscriptions:

Oracle Bone Inscriptions is an ancient script in China, which is also called "Wen Qi", "Oracle Bone Inscriptions", "Yin Ruins" or "tortoise shell and animal bones". As an early form of Chinese characters, it is the oldest mature script of China Dynasty, which was first unearthed in Yinxu, Anyang City, Henan Province. It belongs to ancient Chinese, not the ancient or primitive language of other languages.

Inscription:

This refers to the inscriptions cast by the ancients on bronze ritual vessels to record the reasons for casting the vessels, memorial or sacrificial figures, etc. Later, it generally refers to the words deliberately left on various utensils, recording the time and place of making utensils, the names of craftsmen and workshops, etc. As a business skill, inscriptions appear in the online game World of Warcraft.

Small seal script:

After Qin Shihuang unified China (22 1 year ago), Xiao Zhuan implemented the policy of "writing is similar, cars are on the same track", and Prime Minister Li Si was responsible for the unified measurement. On the basis of the original script of the Qin Dynasty's Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan simplified it, canceled the other six scripts, and created a unified Chinese writing form. It was popular in China until the end of the Western Han Dynasty (about 8 AD) and was gradually replaced by official script. But because of its beautiful font, it has always been favored by calligraphers. Because of its complex strokes and simple form, it is possible to add twists and turns and seal cutting at will, especially the official seal that needs anti-counterfeiting. Seal script was always used until the collapse of feudal dynasty and the emergence of modern new anti-counterfeiting technology.
