Evolution course
1. From the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, through the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the Qin and Han Dynasties, more than 2,000 years of historical development also promoted the development of calligraphy art. During this period, various calligraphy styles appeared one after another, including Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Jinwen and Zhu Mo's bamboo and silk calligraphy. Among them, seal script, official script, cursive script, running script and regular script were stereotyped in the screening and elimination of hundreds of miscellaneous characters, and the art of calligraphy began to develop in an orderly manner.
2. Qin-creating a precedent for calligraphy.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were great differences in languages among countries, which was a major obstacle to economic and cultural development. After Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, Prime Minister Li Si presided over the unification of the national characters, which was a great achievement in the cultural history of China. After the unification of Qin Dynasty, this script was called Qin Zhuan, also known as Xiao Zhuan, which was simplified on the basis of Jin Wen and Shi Guwen.
3. The Eastern Han Dynasty-Seeking Degree and Rhyme in Chinese Calligraphy
Calligraphy in Han Dynasty can be divided into two forms: one is the mainstream system of stone carvings in China; One is tile seal, and the other is bamboo and silk alliance calligraphy and ink. The Monument to Yun Qi in the Later Han Dynasty is a symbol of Han Li's maturity.
