| Research Abstract |
This study analyzed wooden and bamboo scripts excavated from the tombs of ancient China and examined the regional differences of Chinese characters and the calligraphy styles before the unification of the written letters by Shi Huangdi, the first Qin Emperor. In comparing the wooden and bamboo scripts excavated from a tomb in the Chu area and those in the Qin area, it became obvious that the letters in Qin were more uniform and simplified in their geometrical feature. For instance, sanzui, the three vertical lines representing water on the left-hand side of a Chinese character, was a simplified form used only in Qin Dynasty. It is assumed that this form was accepted as the general form after the unification by Qin.
