Bird-worm seal script (Simplified Chinese: 鸟虫篆; Traditional Chinese: 鳥蟲篆; Pinyin: Niǎo Chóng Zhuàn) is a type of ancient seal script originated from China. ==Names== The Chinese character "鸟" (or "鳥" in traditional Chinese, and "Niǎo" in Pinyin) means "bird"; The Chinese character "虫" (or "蟲" in traditional Chinese, and "Chóng" in Pinyin) means any creature that looks like a "worm", including invertebrate worms and reptiles such as snakes and lizards (and even the Chinese dragon); The character "篆" means "seal script", respectively. The other names of this kind of seal script include: * Niao-Chong Script (Simplified Chinese: 鸟虫书; Traditional Chinese: 鳥蟲書; Pinyin: Niǎo Chóng Shū). The Chinese character "书" (or "書" in traditional Chinese, and "Shū" in Pinyin) here means "script". * Niao-Chong Characters (Simplified Chinese: 鸟虫文; Traditional Chinese: 鳥蟲文; Pinyin: Niǎo Chóng Wén ). The Chinese character "文" (or "Wén" in Pinyin) here means "character". It has two subcategories (sub-styles), including: * Bird seal script (Simplified Chinese: 鸟篆; Traditional Chinese: 鳥篆; Pinyin: Niǎo Zhuàn. Or, Simplified Chinese: 鸟书; Traditional Chinese: 鳥書; Pinyin: Niǎo Shū〔(the University of Michigan)〕), and * * In this style, some parts of a character have a bird like head and tail added. The bird style sign is a combination of two parts: a complete seal script character and one (sometimes two) bird shape(s). * Worm seal script (Simplified Chinese: 虫篆; Traditional Chinese: 蟲篆; Pinyin: Chóng Zhuàn. Or, Simplified Chinese: 虫书; Traditional Chinese: 蟲書; Pinyin: Chóng Shū) * * In this style, some or all the strokes are winding, thus producing a worm-like character; but there is no additional bird shape. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bird-worm seal script」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
