The inscriptions are mostly square small seals with neat and hanging feet, the structure is stretched and straight, the style is elegant and beautiful, the structure is tight and loose, especially the exaggerated drag length in the lower part is very decorative, and the Qin Quanliang text is in the same vein. Jia Liangming is one of the representative works of the Han Dynasty seal book, which is said to have been excavated in Mengjin County, Henan Province at the end of the Qing Dynasty and is now in the Chinese History Museum. In 9 AD, after Wang Mang usurped the power of the Western Han Dynasty, he changed the name of the country to "Xin", tried his best to retrospective in writing, imitating Qin Shi Huang, and engraving edicts with small seals around the abdomen of the measuring instrument he formulated. Although Wang Mang did not use the Lishu that had matured in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, but used the small seal, the small seal of this period was different from the standard small seal script of the Qin Dynasty, and had a unique style. "Jia Liang Ming" inscription a total of 20 lines and 81 words, calligraphy to square folding brushwork as the mainstay, the line is thin and strong, the structure is tight, the arrangement of the words is neat and regular, the most prominent features are: the glyph is rectangular, Qin Xiaozhuan's glyph is also biased towards the rectangle, but the inscription body is longer, and the downward extension of the sagging stroke that can be stretched is larger, so that the whole word is obviously tight above and loose below, quite imposing. This way of writing has a greater influence on the calligraphy of later generations, and the hanging needle seal used in the official seal and private seal of the Wei and Jin dynasties is directly derived from this type of inscription calligraphy, and the seal books of Yang Yisun in the Qing Dynasty, Qi Baishi in modern times and others are also influenced by it.
