Lishu sprouted in the Warring States and flourished in the Han Dynasty, divided into "Qin Li" and "Han Li". Qin is subordinate to the early Lishu, which refers to the Lishu from the late Warring States period to the early Western Han Dynasty (before the early years of emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), also known as the Seal Li, Gu Li, etc. In the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, it developed into a mature Han Li, and the Eastern Han Dynasty stone carved Lishu was the artistic peak of Lishu.
