Qin Shi Huang s way of unifying Chinese writing and its historical significance

Due to the different regions, the scripts of each country are also different. After the unification of Qin, the edict was sent to Guilin, and the locals did not know it. This situation has undoubtedly hindered the economic and cultural exchanges of various places, and also affected the smooth implementation of government decrees.

Li Si and others sorted out the text and created a new character "Xiao Seal" with a uniform shape and simple strokes, and later "Lishu" appeared. The unification of writing has a positive significance for the development of the Chinese nation and the spread of culture, although the Qin Dynasty has a vast territory and local dialects are very different, they can still communicate with each other.

Words are the most important communication tool for human beings. During the Warring States period, the script was widely used, and in the long period of evolution and application, various regions"Speech is different, words are different"。Students look at textbooks, one"Horses"The pronunciation of the characters is different in the seven countries.

What will be the impact of the unification of the script after the unification of Qin? It not only hinders the implementation of government decrees, but also affects the development of culture.

Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si and others to sort out the text"Those who do not cooperate with Qin Wen", simplify the original big seal to a small seal (courseware display). Later, the font was simplified, and the jailer Cheng Miao was used to turn the small seal round strokes into a square-folded font to facilitate writing, which is"Lishu"(Courseware display). Qin used the small seal as the standard script, which was used in official documents and decrees, and the official script was used as a daily script to promote it throughout the country.

The current regular script is evolved from the official script. By the time of the Western Han Dynasty, Lishu had become a nationwide language. The unification of writing is a major development of Chinese culture.

It has positive significance for the spread of culture and has a far-reaching impact on the development of culture and art in China.

The book is the same text, and the significance: It promotes the exchanges of the Chinese nation and lays the foundation for the great unification of the country.

Through administrative regulations and orders, Qin Shi Huang unified the written language in this way, so that the development of Chinese writing played a role in connecting the previous and the next.

The book burning pit Confucianism deposed the hundred schools, based on the Qin script, absorbing the advantages of the other six countries, so that people had a unified script to facilitate communication.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he used two fonts: small seal and official script.

Based on the Qin script and borrowing from the Six Kingdoms, Li Si created a new type of script that is mellow and symmetrical and has simple strokes, called "Qin Seal", also known as "Little Seal". Official standard characters, while other variants have been abolished. .

Lishu is also known as "plum" and "Gusu". It is a font based on seal script to meet the needs of convenient writing. Both forms of text are promoted throughout the country.

However, the Qin State took the small seal as the book and the official book as the daily book. The emperor's edicts and official documents were generally written in small seals, and non-official documents were copied in official scripts.

In ancient times, the earliest method of tying knots appeared. But because there were so many knots in the rope later, I couldn't remember what each knot on the rope meant. So at this time, a person named "Cangjie" began to think about how to narrate some things.

Before the unification of the Qin Dynasty, most of these scripts were developed from bronze inscriptions. It stands to reason that since they are all adjacent vassal states, the overall copywriting difference should not be large. Indeed, because they were all developed from hieroglyphs, the Chinese characters of different countries were more or less similar, and the historical record also implies that the various vassal states often exchanged information, such as primary school textbooks.

"Swallows make Chu" occurred in the Spring and Autumn Period, but at that time it was still the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemonic Period. For example, the book "Han Feizi" by the Korean nobleman Han Feizi was very fond of the king of Qin at that time, as well as the records of Su Qin and Zhang Yi's expeditions to various countries, which can show that the countries at that time were actually connected with each other.

But even so, due to the outstanding performance of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, cultural thought presented a prosperous scene of "a hundred schools of thought contending". In addition, although the princes of that time visited each other, they were all independent in nature. Therefore, it is normal to see slight differences in the text between countries.

In order to promote exchanges between countries, strengthen national unity, and even consolidate his own power, Qin Shi Huang was determined to eliminate cultural differences altogether. He ordered Prime Minister Lees to compile the text. Unified regulations, the small seal with regular strokes and square handwriting is the national unified standard.

All of them have been unified into small seals, so in this case, it can also be said that the reunification of the six countries has been carried out, and the unification work has been carried out, and great efforts have been made in this regard, and high achievements have also been obtained.

After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he changed the national script to Xiao Seal, which also canceled the variant characters of the other six countries and created a Chinese character writing form of the same script.

Unified into a small seal. This kind of writing is very distinctive, and it was compiled by Li Si and others.

After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he changed the national script to a small seal, and he also promulgated many criminal laws and policies.

Qin Shi Huang's unified script is the small seal. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes were divided, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin. Chinese characters in various countries have appeared in simplified and traditional Chinese characters.

First, the situation of multiple forms of one word. After Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he ordered the "small seal" of the Qin State to be used as the standard to unify the national script. Seal, also known as &Seal Book&, is the collective name of the small seal and the big seal, because it is customary to call &籀文& the big seal, so later generations often refer to the &篆文& specifically to the small seal.

On the basis of the Great Seal of the Qin State, Qin Shi Huang simplified and created a small seal with a unified national script. It is characterized by a rectangular font, horizontal and vertical strokes, uniform roundness, and symmetry. The small seal was popular from the Qin Dynasty until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and was gradually replaced by Lishu.

However, because of the beautiful font of the small seal, it has always been favored by calligraphers.

Because of its complex strokes, the form is ancient, and it can be engraved with seals, especially the official seals that need to be anti-counterfeiting, and seal scripts have been used. Since the Qin Dynasty, most of the calligraphers of the past dynasties have regarded the Qin seal as the criterion, and took its slender longitudinal posture as the appearance of the skin.

The development of Chinese characters to the stage of small seals, gradually began to be stereotyped, the pictographic meaning was weakened, the characters were more symbolic, and the confusion and difficulties in writing and reading were reduced, which was also the product of the first large-scale standardization of writing by administrative means in the history of our country. The Qin Dynasty used the sorted small seal to unify the national script, which not only basically eliminated the phenomenon of different characters in various places, but also greatly changed the situation of many different ancient characters, and played an important role in the history of the development of Chinese writing.

The national script was unified into the small seal, and the other six countries were abolished, and the small seal became a unified way of writing the country at that time.

Qin Shi Huang is the first emperor of our country's Chang socks, after he unified the six countries, he continued to crack in the rapid unification of weights and measures and writing, and unified the text into a small seal. Promotes the development of culture.

After Qin Shi Huang unified China, the whole country's characters were scattered and unified into the font of Xiao Seal, which was formed after borrowing the original Qin Dynasty's script and integrating the characteristics of other national scripts.
