History
During the Eastern Zhou dynasty ({{circa|771}}{{snd}}256 BC), local varieties of Chinese character forms had developed across the country, producing the 'scripts of the six states' ()âwhich were later collectively referred to as large seal script.WEB, Seal Script,weblink 2023-09-28, This variance was considered unacceptable by the nascent Qin dynasty (221â206 BC), who saw it as a hindrance to timely communication, trade, taxation, and transportation, as well as being a potential vector for fomenting political dissent.JOURNAL, Galambos, Imre, 2004, The Myth of the Qin Unification of Writing in Han Sources, 23658631, Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae, 57, 2, 181â203, 10.1556/AOrient.57.2004.2.2, 0001-6446, Around 220 BC, Qin Shi Huang ordered a systematic standardization of the country's weights, measures, and currency, as well as its writing system. Character forms which differed from those used by Qin scribes were discarded, with the Qin forms becoming standard across the entire empire.BOOK, Diringer, David, The book before printing: Ancient, Medieval and Oriental, Dover, 1982, 978-0-486-24243-9, New York,Standardization
The standardized use of small seal characters was promulgated via the Cangjiepian primer compiled by Qin Shi Huang's ministersânamely his chancellor Li Si. This compilation, which was claimed to include 3,300 characters, is no longer extant, and is known only through Chinese commentaries over the centuries. Several hundred characters from fragmented commentaries were collected during the Qing dynasty (1644â1912), and recent archeological excavations in Anhui have uncovered several hundred more on bamboo strips, showing the order of the characters.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}} However, the script found was not the small seal script, as the discovery dates back to the Han period.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}Encoding
The small seal script was initially proposed for inclusion in Unicode in 2015. The 723-page proposal lists many of the best-known examples of Qing-era commentary images.WEB,weblink Proposal to encode Small Seal Script in UCS, Working Group, 2015-10-20, 2016-01-23, {{As of|April 2020}}, the proposal remains under discussion.References
