The evolution of Chinese characters is introduced as follows:
1, Oracle Bone Inscriptions: Oracle Bone Inscriptions is both an ideograph and an ideograph. Most of Oracle Bone Inscriptions's characters conform to the principles of pictographic characters and knowing characters, with pictophonetic characters accounting for only 20%.
2. Bronze inscription (Zhong Dingwen): The bronze inscription of the Yin Dynasty was called Jin in the pre-Qin period, so the words cast on the bronzes were called bronze inscriptions, also called Zhong Dingwen and Biqi.
3, seal script: seal script is divided into big seal script and small seal script. Dazhuan: In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Chinese characters developed into Dazhuan. Xiao Zhuan: Xiao Zhuan, also known as Qin Zhuan, is a standard font compiled by Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty. It was simplified by Da Zhuan.
4. Official script: The first step in the evolution of Xiao Zhuan to official script, the most significant change is from graceful and restrained money bars to the order of strokes, from no corner to angular. In the Han Dynasty, the official script developed to a mature stage, and the readability and writing speed of Chinese characters were greatly improved.
5. Cursive script: After the official script, it evolved into Cao Zhang, and then today in the Tang Dynasty, a kind of wild grass appeared to express the writer's mind and express his feelings in the pen. Cursive script, also known as "broken grass" and "modern grass", is formed by the changes of seal script, eight points, Cao Zhang and other ancient characters.
6. Regular script: Regular script (also known as original script) combined official script and cursive script and became popular in the Tang Dynasty. The print we use today evolved from regular script.
7. Running script: "Running script" is a kind of calligraphy (word) between regular script and cursive script, and it is free to write. Running script is different from official script and official script, and its fluidity can be freely used by writers. Running script presents a romantic and aesthetic atmosphere.
