Anotations

Scope note:

Chinese script developed after the First Emperor of Qin unified China in 221 BCE, when he adopted Li Si's suggestion to standardize writing. The standardized script is called the small seal script, as opposed to the great seal scripts before the Qin. The standardized small seal script features round, neat, and well-balanced strokes and structures.
