2. The strokes are horizontal and vertical, round and even, and the thickness is basically the same. All horizontal and vertical paintings are equidistant and parallel, and all strokes are mainly round, and the circle is round and square, which makes the circle lively and interesting.

Extended data:
Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, was called the originator of Xiao Zhuan. According to Records of Historical Records and Biography of Lisi, after Lisi was imprisoned by Zhao Gao, Prime Minister Lisi tried to write a letter to Qin Ershi, which retorted that it was a crime for him to "paint more pictures, measure articles and spread all over the world in the name of Qin Shu" during his administration.
It can be inferred that Reese is probably directly involved in the work of "sharing books". Thirdly, Shu Duan compiled by Zhang Huaiguan, a calligraphy theorist in the Tang Dynasty, and Kangxi Dictionary in the Qing Dynasty also think that the author of seal script is Li Si in the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, later generations often compare the small seal characters depicted on Qin dynasty artifacts with those written by Li Si, among which the more credible one is "Taishan Carving Stone".
