Fan-shaped calligraphy works, stone carvings, originated in Zhou Dynasty and flourished in Qin Dynasty. Stone inscriptions in the Eastern Zhou and Qin Dynasties. On the 10 granite drum stone, there is a four-character poem, which praises Qin's hunting, so it is also called hunting. Legend has it that the earliest stone carving is Shen Bei in Xia Dynasty, and the style of carving poems is similar to the Book of Songs. The font is close to the calligraphy contained in Shuo Wen Jie Zi, and its calligraphy has always been highly respected. The main works are: Shi Guwen, Yishan stone carving, Taishan stone carving, Langya stone carving, Huiji stone carving, etc.
Good-looking fan-shaped calligraphy works appreciate the original calligraphy art most, while the original calligraphy before Qin and Han Dynasties can only be seen on bamboo slips and silk books. In ancient times, bamboo was used as the main material, and bamboo slips were woven with beef tendon, silk thread and hemp rope. The ink marks on bamboo slips and silks found in early archaeology include Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng, Hubei, the Warring States League book unearthed in Houma, Shanxi, and the Warring States silk book unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha. China's calligraphy developed from Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions on bronze to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Due to the warlord regime, the figures since Shang Dynasty were divided into different development paths in the vassal states. During this period, the forms and techniques of calligraphy also presented a situation in which a hundred schools of thought contended. For example, the Tadpole Prose of the Northern State of Jin and the Bird Book of Wu, Yue, Chu and Cai have many twists and turns and long tails. Bronze inscriptions in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are no longer as thick as those in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but are replaced by slender figures, showing a mellow aesthetic feeling, such as "the mirror of Wu Wang Fu Cha". This period left many ink marks, such as bamboo slips, silk books and league books.
Qin's calligraphy style pioneered calligraphy.
