First, the specific writing:
In order to understand the original meaning and glyph structure of the word dream, the word dream first appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Its glyph structure is that a person lies on the bed with his head resting on his arm, indicating that he is asleep. This glyph structure expresses the basic meaning of dreams, that is, hallucinations in sleep.
Seal script is a round and smooth font, and its writing characteristics are symmetry and balance. In seal script, the font structure of Dream is basically the same as that of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, but it is more simplified and abstracts the image of people.
Write a word "Xi" as a prefix. The word "Xi" stands for night and is related to the meaning of "dream". Under the word "evening", write a word "person" as the main body, and this word "person" represents the dreamer. Finally, on the right side of the word "person", write an evening word as a foot, which echoes the word "evening" above to form a complete word "dream".
Second, the introduction of seal characters:
Seal script originated from Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions on bronze, and it is a symbol for ancient ancestors to record and express their thoughts and feelings. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the characters of different countries began to divide, forming different writing styles of Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Zhao and other countries.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he implemented the policy of writing in the same language and unified different languages from different countries to Qin Zhuan, which was an important development stage of seal script writing. Seal script was further developed and passed down in Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Third, the characteristics and style of seal script:
Seal script is characterized by smooth lines, symmetrical structure and beautiful shape. Its font lines are soft and round, without too many edges and corners, soft and elastic. At the same time, the font structure of seal script pays attention to symmetry and balance, and the center of gravity of each word is in the center, showing a steady and elegant posture. The strokes and structure of seal script have certain rules and regulations.
Fourth, cultural connotation and artistic value:
Seal script is not only a writing form, but also a cultural symbol and artistic expression. In ancient China, seal script was widely used in inscriptions, seals, calligraphy and other fields, and became a cultural carrier with high artistic value.
The characters of seal script also contain profound cultural connotation and ideological implication, such as "longevity", "happiness" and "happiness" all contain the meaning of auspicious blessing. The writing of seal script also has high artistic value, and its strokes and structure are full of ingenuity and ingenuity.
