Chinese characters have changed for more than 6000 years, and the evolution process is as follows:

Oracle Bone Inscriptions → bronze inscription → seal script → official script → regular script → running script.

(Shang) (Zhou) (Qin) (Han) (Wei and Jin Dynasties) cursive script

Oracle Bone Inscriptions, carved on the tortoise shell with a knife, is the earliest known Chinese character. Its glyphs are large and small, and its strokes are very thin. Every character is like a picture drawn by a child.

Jinwen: Almost as old as Oracle Bone Inscriptions, with thick strokes and well-proportioned size.

Warring States script: During the Warring States Period in the history of China (475 BC-22 BC1year), China was divided into seven vassal states. The characters in different countries are very different, just like ancient passwords, which are difficult to decipher.

In 22 1 year BC, after Qin Shihuang unified China, Chinese characters were also unified. Since then, it has laid the foundation for cultural unity of the Chinese nation and promoted economic and cultural exchanges and development.

The unified seal script of Qin dynasty shaped the strokes and structure of Chinese characters and laid the foundation for the square of Chinese characters.

The supervised Chinese character: official script, a simple way of writing Xiao Zhuan, was first popular in the lower classes of the Qin Dynasty. It is said that Cheng Miao arranged it into a new font in prison.
