Extended data

Chinese characters have a historical process of development and evolution for thousands of years, which is roughly as follows: before the Shang Dynasty, it was the history of origin, and the Oracle bone inscriptions in the Yin Dynasty were mature. Since then, a series of changes have taken place, especially in the Han Dynasty, when official script replaced Xiao Zhuan as the main font, and the development history of China characters broke away from the ancient writing stage and entered the official script stage; From regular script to basic stereotypes in Sui and Tang Dynasties, it became "Song Style" artistically in the Song Dynasty. Later, it was imitated by Songti, which is roughly the font we use today.
