Editing Seal script (section)

== Development ==
There were several different variants of seal script which developed independently in each kingdom during the Eastern Zhou. One of these, the [[bird-worm seal script]], is named for its intricate decorations on the defining strokes, and was used in the states of [[state of Wu|Wu]], [[state of Chu|Chu]], and [[state of Yue|Yue]]. It was found on several artifacts including the [[Spear of Fuchai]] and the [[Sword of Goujian]]. As a southern state, Chu was influenced by Wuyue. Chu produced bronze broadswords that were similar to those from Wuyue, but not as intricate. Chu also used the bird-worm style, which was borrowed by the Wu and Yue states.{{Citation needed|date=August 2023}}
