Li Shu, including Qin Li and Han Li, is generally considered to be developed from seal script, with wide and flat font, long horizontal painting and short vertical painting, and paying attention to "silkworm head and goose tail" and "twists and turns".
According to the unearthed bamboo slips, Lishu originated in the Warring States Period. According to legend, Cheng Miao was a servant shooter, which reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty and had a great influence on later calligraphy. Calligraphy is known as "Han Li Tang Kai".

The general trend of the evolution of Chinese characters is from complexity to simplicity, and the font of Chinese characters is gradually standardized and stable. The evolution of Chinese characters can be divided into two stages: ancient Chinese characters and modern Chinese characters. In the stage of ancient Chinese characters, the evolution order of Chinese characters is Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscription, seal script and Li Qin. At the present writing stage, the evolution order of Chinese characters is official script and regular script. Official script prevailed in Han dynasty. Wei-Jin period is the transition period from official script to regular script. Regular script prevailed in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Official script and regular script are both official fonts. Today's writing stage belongs to the official script stage, and there are auxiliary fonts-cursive script and running script.
Xiao Zhuan fixed the number of strokes and the shape of each character. Lishu has formed a new pen system, with the font gradually changing from round to square and the strokes from curved to straight. After the birth of regular script, the font of Chinese characters is stable, the shape of strokes is further standardized, and the number and order of strokes of each word are also fixed.
In short, the fonts before the formal change are collectively referred to as ancient Chinese characters; The officially changed fonts are collectively called modern characters. Therefore, the change of official script is the change process of official script, and official script is not formed at once.
