Large or Great Seal script (大篆 Dàzhuàn; Japanese daiten) refers generally to Chinese writing somewhat earlier than the Small or Lesser Seal Script (小篆 Xiǎozhuàn; Japanese shōten, also termed simply seal script), of the Qin dynasty. The name 大篆 Dàzhuàn was coined in the Hàn dynasty as a vague reference to writing of the Qin system similar to but earlier than Small Seal. That is, it probably referred to Qin writing from roughly the Spring and Autumn period onward, including those Qin forms which were not adopted as standard during the script reform under Qin Shi Huang in the 3rd century BC. It has more recently also been used to refer to Western Zhou forms or even oracle bones as well.
