After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he felt the complexity of the national script and the different styles of books, so he proposed "the same text of the book", the unity of the text and the unity of the style. Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si, who was good at calligraphy, to do the work.
Therefore, the small seal is also called "Qin seal". The formulation of the small seal was the first systematic process of standardizing the style of writing in China.
Ancient writing has undergone a long period of evolution and development, and there are great differences throughout the country. According to legend, after Qin Boqi unified the Central Plains, Qin Shi Huang issued an edict to recruit 50 war horses from all over the country, but the local Guanyou Yinji people did not understand the script of Qin. Qin Shi Huang was very annoyed, and immediately ordered Li Si and others to sort out and unify the text, so the unification of the text was the focus.
Subsequently, Li Si based on the large seal commonly used by the Qin people during the Warring States Period, absorbed the advantages of the tadpole script that was common in Qilu and other places, and created a new script with a uniform shape and a simple comparison, called "Qin Seal", also known as "Xiao Seal", as the official standard text, and abolished other variant characters when the same god was respected.
During the Warring States period, although the basic structure of the characters was the same in various countries, there were differences in the complexity and layout of the characters. Li Si was instructed to unify the script, and he used the script of the Qin State as the basis, referring to the script of the Six Kingdoms, formulated a small seal, and wrote a model for the implementation of the whole country. At that time, there was also a popular calligraphy called Lishu, which was simpler than the small seal.
During the Warring States period, each country had its own culture, so there was a great difference in their respective characters, and they were incomprehensible to each other.
