The different countrys and regions has the influence unavoidably to the writing system. This article takes five main national Cai, Chu, Wu, Qin, Jin , analyzes its special glyph. Whether it is the sole possession of the nature, whether it takes this country's the glyph symbol or the writing characteristic.In the Spring and Autumn Period bronze inscription writing system, there are some components which could be exchange in the construction word-time. Some components exchange is a result of synonymy component. Between some components uses in exchange is a result of the shape nearly . we definite the rational transformation situation as the components in exchange. However, the near shape is the component confusion , they should belong to mixes uses. About the components in exchange, we divide into two kinds. One is the significance close similar, the other is constructs the character principle different component to be general.
