Most people know the seal script, but less knows the bird-worm seal script. The ancients thought all the things on earth of spirituality, and the Chinese character branched into oracle bone script and bird-worm seal script in Shang and Zhou Dynasties when the spiritual bird-worm seal script was exclusive for royal use that time and since then, Chinese character art came onto the historical stage.
提到篆書,知道的人不在少數??墒钦f到鳥蟲篆,知道的人就不多了。古人認為萬物都有靈氣,從商周開始,文字開始產生甲骨文和鳥蟲篆兩個分支,而“萬物皆有靈”的鳥蟲篆當時就專供皇家使用,也是中國文字藝術的開端。

Wang Xiangyun started to study the birdworm seal script calligraphy in 1964. He inherited the craft and skills from his elder generation, and also he himself liked such seal script and learned the materials and books at home earnestly. Later he acknowledged Rong Geng the expert in paleography and bronze inscriptions as master for bird-worm seal script study. After Rong Geng passed away, Wang Xiangyun started to study all alone, and by combining with the sciences of art, culture, history, iconology and semiology, he went deep to the stories behind the bird-worm seal script, formed it into system and carried it forward. In 2011, he published and distributed the monograph Introduction to Bird-worm Seal Script which is a great achievement integrating his fifty years of researches on bird-worm seal script and comprehensively exposits its source, inheritance, interpretation, technique of writing, structure and art of composition nationwide for the first time.
王祥云1964 年開始研習鳥蟲篆書法,他承襲父輩鳥蟲篆技藝,本身又喜愛鳥蟲篆,認真研讀家中書籍資料,后又拜古文字學家、金文專家榮庚為師,研習鳥蟲篆。榮庚去世后,王祥云開始獨立研究,結合藝術學、文化學、歷史學、圖像學、符號學等多種學科,深入探究鳥蟲篆背后的故事,將鳥蟲篆研究形成體系,發揚光大。于2011 年出版發行的《鳥蟲篆發凡》專著,是他集50 年研究鳥蟲篆成果之大成,在全國首次對鳥蟲篆書法的起源、延續、釋讀、筆法、結體、章法進行全面闡述。

The art of bird-worm seal script was derived from totem and the oracle bone script and bronze inscriptions in Shang and Zhou dynasties and lived the whole history of seal script from the beginning. It prevailed in the engraved bronze inscriptions for royal use only, which is the representative of ancient integrity culture and source of calligraphy, and its integral shape is based on golden ratio, well-balanced and multi-shape, with thick and thin strokes in order and shines in calligraphy art with its unique characteristics. In Qin dynasty, it abolished the characters of six states but reserved the birdworm seal script as one of the eight officially common-used characters of Qin dynasty. In Han dynasty when it reduced to six officially common-used characters, the bird-worm seal script was still reserved. After Wei and Jin dynasties, with the ending of seal script era, the bird-worm seal script was neglected in the dust of history.
鳥蟲篆藝術源于圖騰和商周時期的甲骨文、金文,一直伴隨著篆書整個時代。盛行于青銅器銘文書體中,屬皇族專用,是古代誠信文化的代表, 書法藝術之源,其整體造型按照黃金分割率,勻稱多姿,豐纖有致,書法藝術獨顯光芒。至秦代廢除六國文字,獨把鳥蟲篆保留下來,成為秦代八種官方通用文字之一。到了漢代六種官方通用文字,鳥蟲篆仍列其中。魏晉以后,隨著篆書時代結束,鳥蟲篆便被歷史塵封。

Whether the "bird-worm" in the bird-worm seal script refers to bird and worm? "The elite of beasts is called Kylin, the elite of birds is called phoenix, the elite of shelled creatures is called magic turtle, the elite of scaled creatures is called dragon, and the elite of human beings is called sage." Wang Xiangyun said that is how the ancients understood the five worms; hence, the so called "bird-worm" should be interpreted as all the living things on earth, including human, instead of bird and worm in the meaning of the time only.
鳥蟲篆中的“鳥蟲”是否就是鳥和蟲子呢?“毛蟲之精者曰麟,羽蟲之精者曰鳳,介蟲之精者曰龜,鱗蟲之精者曰龍,裸蟲之精者曰圣人。”王祥云說,這是古人對于五蟲的解釋,因此,所謂“鳥蟲”,并非今天意義上的鳥蟲,而是包括社會上的一切動物,包括人,都稱為“蟲”。

"The masters of Chinese culture in modern times Guo Moruo, Rong Geng and Qian Cunxun thought, through a great number of studies, that the art of Chinese characters started from the bird-worm seal script." Wang Xiangyun said that "Every bird-worm seal script is a story more than character itself. It teaches you the way of being a man and doing things as well as going in for politics." In the development of Chinese culture for thousands of years, the art of bird-worm seal script plays the roles of participant, inheritor and contributor all along and will continue to make outstanding works in carrying forward the Chinese traditional culture.
“近代國學大師郭沫若、容庚、錢存訓先生經過大量研究認為:中國文字的藝術便是從鳥蟲篆開始的。”王祥云說,“鳥蟲篆不僅僅是字,每一個字都是一個故事,教你如何做人做事,如何為官從政。”在中華文化幾千年的發展過程中,鳥蟲篆文化藝術始終是重要的參與者、傳承者和貢獻者,在弘揚中華傳統文化方面大有可為。
