Who has some historical stories about the evolution of Chinese characters and jokes about typos?

It is well documented that China script, Chinese characters, came into being in the late Shang Dynasty, about14th century BC, when a preliminary stereotyped script, namely Oracle Bone Inscriptions, was formed. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is both a hieroglyph and a phonography. Until now, there are still some pictographs in Chinese characters, which are very vivid. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Chinese characters developed into Da Zhuan. The development of seal script has produced two characteristics: first, the lines with uneven thickness in the early days became uniform and soft, and the lines they drew with utensils were very concise and vivid; Second, standardization, the glyph structure tends to be neat, and gradually deviates from the original shape of the picture, laying the foundation for the square characters. Later, Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, simplified Da Zhuan and changed it to Xiao Zhuan. Small seal script not only simplifies the shape of big seal script, but also achieves the perfection of lineation and standardization, almost completely divorced from pictures and characters, and has become a neat, harmonious and very beautiful square font which is basically rectangular. However, Xiao Zhuan also has its own fundamental shortcoming, that is, its lines are very inconvenient to write with a pen, so almost at the same time, a kind of official script with flat sides was produced. By the Han Dynasty, the official script had developed to a mature stage, and the readability and writing speed of Chinese characters had been greatly improved. After Li Shu, it evolved into Cao Zhang, and now it is grass. In the Tang dynasty, there was Weeds, which expressed the writer's thoughts and feelings with a pen. Subsequently, regular script (also known as original script), a combination of official script and cursive script, became popular in the Tang Dynasty. The print we use today evolved from regular script. Between regular script and cursive script is a running script, which is fluent in writing and flexible in using a pen. It is said that it was invented by Liu Desheng in Han Dynasty, and it is still the font used in our daily writing today. In the Song Dynasty, with the development of printing, block printing was widely used, and Chinese characters were further improved and developed, resulting in a new type of calligraphy-Songti printing font. After the invention of printing, the carving knife used for lettering had a far-reaching influence on the glyph of Chinese characters, resulting in a kind of printing font with fine horizontal and thick vertical, which was eye-catching and easy to read, and was later called Song Style. There are two kinds of fonts for the moment: fat imitation face, Liu style, thin imitation European style and dangerous style. Among them, the strokes of Yan and Liu are towering, with some characteristics of horizontal, thin and vertical. In the Ming Dynasty, between Qin Long and Wanli, it changed from Song style to Ming style, with fine strokes and square fonts. It turned out that at that time, a kind of Hongwu style with thin horizontal and thick vertical was popular among the people, and this font was used for the title cards of official posts, lanterns, notices, private stones, ancestral halls and other gods. Later, some book carvers created a non-face and non-European skin silhouette in the process of imitating Hongwu's style. Especially because the strokes of this font are horizontal and vertical, it is really easy to engrave. It is different from seal script, official script, original script and cursive script, unique, fresh and pleasing to the eye. Therefore, it has been widely used since16th century and has become a very popular main printing font. It's also called Song Style, and it's also called lead font. In Chinese characters, all kinds of fonts formed in different historical periods have their own distinctive artistic characteristics. For example, seal script is simple and elegant, official script is static and dynamic, rich in decoration, fast in cursive script, compact in structure, neat and beautiful in regular script, easy to read and write, practical, diverse in style and different in personality. The evolution of Chinese characters is from pictographic pictures to linear symbols, strokes adapted to brush writing and printed fonts convenient for carving. Its evolution provides rich inspiration for China's font design. In character design, if we can give full play to the characteristics and elegant demeanor of various fonts of Chinese characters, we will certainly be able to design exquisite works with ingenious application and unique conception. The evolution of Chinese characters: the original text is not good, and the hill is also successful. One said: tiles don't burn, and they are silent from the soil. Gui (gūi)→ Tutu →gtt (Gui, master Rui Yu, below the upper circle. ) Yuangui, Ruiyu also, below the upper circle. Gong Zhihuan is expensive, nine inches; Hou Zhixin returned, Bo Zhigong returned, all seven inches; The son holds Gu Bi and the man holds Pu Bi, all five inches. To seal the vassal, from the heavy soil. Yao (yáo)→ Tugui → YTV/TTT (Yuan Dian Dictionary) (Yao, Tugao also. Such as: Yao → Ye,, and people. ) The original text, Gao Ye, comes from Santu. Yao, Gao Ye, from Yao, to Wu, also. There are many similar examples. Another example is: Gold → Xin, Mu → Lin → Sen, Shui → Miao, Fire → Inflammation → Yan, Re → Shuang, Ren → Subordinate → Crowd, Yi → Xian. Usually the root weight means "many" and the triple means "many". "Reason" is an extension of "image and number". The evolution of Chinese character extension is mainly based on "reason", that is, things close to each other are also related by "reason". For example, "Ming" means bright, which is extended to "eyes can see clearly, hearts can understand, and things become obvious ..." and so on. The five stages of the evolution of Chinese characters "sound, shape, image, number and reason" are essentially five basic methods to create Chinese characters. Here is an example: the words "cat → Miao → Miao → Tian", "Miao" and "Tian" all belong to pictographic characters, and the cat is called "Mi O", so the sound of "cat" is defined as "māo", and Miao is used in the pronunciation when making words. Miao → Tian Miao is pronounced Miao, which means "grass in the field". Cats may have been domesticated during Shennong's agricultural cultivation to deal with rats that destroyed crops and grains. The zodiac may have been set earlier than this period, which may be the reason why cats are not included. When creating Chinese characters, if two characters overlap, it means more. "Mi → Mi" means more grass, which is the concept of "number" in Chinese character creation. "Miao" means small seedlings, and the word "Miao" also extends to "trainable talents". Children and seedlings are very similar, but the reason is the same. This expands the extension of the word "Miao" and is an example of "reason". From the anatomy of the word "cat", we can see five basic word-formation methods: pronunciation, shape, image, number and reason, and also the historical evolution of Chinese characters.
