1) Seal script is one of the earliest forms of Chinese characters, dating from the first millennium BCE. Although both of the works here are relatively recent, early examples of it survive in China on materials such as bronze, stone, and individual seals. The Chinese sample here is written entirely in seal script; the Japanese has only the top in seal script, while the rest is in more "modern" characters. What does seal script writing make you think of (especially when contrasted with more modern cursive)?
