Features: This book combines the scripts used in the six states of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei during the Warring States period (including bronze inscriptions, coin inscriptions, seal inscriptions, pottery inscriptions, bamboo slips, and silk inscriptions, etc.) into one volume. It also incorporates some characters from Qin that are absent in the six-state scripts. The book primarily focuses on character tables while also considering character and word meanings. Using the ancient music arrangement method, it organizes characters by radicals as the vertical axis, phonetic components as the horizontal axis, sound initials as the framework, and phonetic variants as the details, while also including regional classifications. The arrangement of characters is comprehensive, forming a medium-sized, relatively complete comprehensive dictionary of Warring States period scripts.
