What is "seal script"?
Seal script is an ancient style of Chinese calligraphy that was commonly used during the Qin dynasty. It features rounded, flowing lines and highly stylized characters, making it more decorative and intricate compared to later script forms. Seal script was primarily used for inscriptions on seals, monuments, and official documents. Its distinctive appearance, with uniform stroke thickness and an emphasis on symmetry, makes it visually unique among Chinese calligraphic styles. Although it is no longer used for daily writing, seal script is still significant in traditional art and seal carving, representing a key stage in the evolution of Chinese writing.
