Anotations

Scope note:

Script based on the stamping seal style. Generally refers to the ancient Chinese written scripts dating before the Han clerical script, including the great seal script and the small seal script. Generally speaking, written scripts before the Qin dynasty are called the great seal script. After the state of Qin united China in 211 BCE, a team of officials led by Li Si, the Prime Minister at that time, standardized the written scripts, and the new script is called the small seal script.
