Also known as "Qin Zhuan". It was in the Qin dynasty. The shape is long, even and neat, and it evolved from Da Zhuan. Xu Shen's Record of Explaining Words in the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "Qin Shihuang was the first emperor in the world, ... but he was not in harmony with Qin Wen. (Li) The company wrote Cang Xie, the CSR office ordered Zhao Gao to write Love Calendar, and the Taishi ordered Hu Wujing to write Bo Xue, all of which took history as a big seal, or existed quite a bit, so-called small seal. " Today's remains (Langyatai Stone Carvings) and "Taishan Stone Carvings" (pictured) are the representative works of Xiao Zhuan.
It is said that the seal script carved by Qin Quan was written by Li Si. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he implemented the policy of "writing in the same language and cars on the same track". The policy of unified measurement has been taken care of by Prime Minister Reese. On the basis of the original seal script used by Qin, it was simplified, and the variant characters of other six countries were cancelled, creating a unified Chinese character writing form. It was popular in China until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and was gradually replaced by official script. But because of its beautiful font, it has always been favored by calligraphers. Moreover, seal cutting can be added at will because of its complex strokes, peculiar forms and twists and turns, especially for official seals that need anti-counterfeiting. Until the demise of the feudal dynasty, modern new anti-counterfeiting technologies appeared. All the words in Kangxi Dictionary are also marked with seal script writing. 23 paintings
