Zhuanshu

Zhuanshu, or Seal Script, is an ancient style of Chinese calligraphy that originated around the Qin Dynasty (221–206 BC). Characterized by its uniform, rounded, and elegant lines, it was primarily used for official inscriptions and seals. Unlike modern Chinese writing, which is more straightforward and simplified, Zhuanshu emphasizes aesthetic beauty and symmetry. It reflects the early stages of Chinese writing development and provides insight into historical artistry. Today, Zhuanshu is appreciated for its artistry and is often used in seal carving and calligraphy to evoke a sense of tradition and cultural heritage.
