"Swallowtail of Silkworm Head" refers to official script.
The head of a silkworm and the tail of a goose are the most common brushwork in official script. Official script is a common solemn font in Chinese characters, with slightly wide and flat writing effect, long horizontal painting and short straight painting, and paying attention to "silkworm head and goose tail" and "twists and turns". Official script, such as Qin Li and han li, is generally considered to be developed from seal script.
according to the unearthed bamboo slips, official script originated in the Qin dynasty, and it is said that Cheng Miao was an official, and han li reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, inheriting the tradition of seal script and opening the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, which had a great influence on later calligraphy. The calligraphy circle is known as "han li Tang Kai".
The characteristics of official script:
It is vigorous, dense and dignified, and magnificent. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the official script stone carvings stood in temples or on cliffs, which were tall and imposing. The font is relatively large, the structure is dense, and the stippling is strong and powerful.
his pen is different from the quotation of seal script, but he works hard and works backwards. The artistic feeling it gives people is not the elegance and delicacy along the way, but the broadmindedness and grandeur. It is not Zhuge Liang's feather fan nylon scarf, which is charming, but as rough and bold as Guan Gong and Zhang Fei.
