Calligraphy fonts are traditionally divided into five categories: branch font, cursive font, official script font, seal script font and regular script font, that is, five categories. In each category, it is subdivided into several sub-categories. For example, seal script can be divided into big seal script and small seal script, and regular script can be divided into Wei Bei Tang Kai, also known as "two kings style" and "thin gold style".

Because it is used for divination and predicting good or bad luck, it is called "Oracle". But it already has the basic elements of China's calligraphy art: pen, structure, composition and so on. During the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, the inscriptions on Zhong Ding Yi wares, namely bronze inscriptions, also known as "Zhong Dingwen", were widely popular. After the unification of Qin Shihuang, they were collectively called "Xiao Zhuan", also known as "Qin Zhuan". The so-called seal script is actually an official script. It is a standardized common font for official documents. According to the literature. Before the Qin Dynasty, Chinese characters had no special names. Seal script evolved from Qin characters in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because this is the official book. Small seal is only suitable for grand occasions.

Except for inscriptions, seals and objects. There are few independent seal scripts. Tang seal. Recovered from lee. Ren's majestic spirit has gone. Epigraphy in the song dynasty and the restoration of calligraphy in the yuan dynasty. The right to use seal script increased slightly. There are many people who are famous for their seal scripts, but they lack the power to surpass them. The wind of inheriting yuan dynasty in ming dynasty. Step evenly. In Qing dynasty, seal script was full of flowers. In promoting the Tang dynasty to surpass the Qin dynasty and enter the stage of great prosperity.

There is a big seal in front of a little seal. As early as more than 60 years ago, symbols carved on pottery and pictures depicting objects had the embryonic form of words, and then in the long development, pictographic (picture) words were produced. Three thousand years ago, in the Shang Dynasty, the characters carved on tortoise shell bones, that is, "Oracle Bone Inscriptions", were fine and straight, and the strokes were insignificant. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, inscriptions cast on bronze wares such as bells, ding, money and weapons were called "inscriptions on bronze" or "Zhong Dingwen". Calligraphy is becoming more and more neat, the style is round and vigorous, and the fonts are varied and uneven. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the characters carved on stone drums were called Shi Guwen. The strokes are vigorous and dignified, slightly square in structure and beautiful in style. The above Oracle bones, inscriptions on bronze inscriptions and Shi Guwen were called "Da Zhuan" in Qin Dynasty.
