Above we have discussed the development of the Chinese script from Jiaguwen, Jinwen, Zhanguo script, and Xiaozhuan down to Lishu, Caoshu, Xingshu and Kaishu. These developments represent the shape and style changes of the Chinese script. However, we also mentioned the terms Xiangxing, Zhishi, Huiyi, Xingsheng, Jiajie and Zhuanzhu, which describe the structure of Chinese characters. Whenever we discuss the formation of the Chinese script we must touch upon these six devices, which are known as the Liushu (Six Principles of Writing).

Ancient Chinese texts discovered in 1993 in a tomb dating back to the fourth century B.C. contained a remarkable discovery. The bamboo strips contain part of the oldest extant version of the Tao Te Ching, a foundational text by the Taoist philosopher Laozi. The remaining writings appear to be written by Confucian disciples. These texts amplify scholars' understanding of how the Confucian philosophical tradition evolved between Confucius' time and that of Mencius.

The Chinese script is one of the oldest and most widely used writing systems in the world. It has a history of five or six thousand years, and is used by about one fourth of the total population on earth. The creation and evolution of Chinese characters are closely interwoven with the development of Chinese culture. Chinese characters are the basic carriers of the traditional Chinese culture, and, as an important tool for extending, spreading and exchanging ideas, they have played a critical role in the long history of the Chinese nation.
