Traditionally the origin is said to be that tadpole script manuscripts were first discovered when the house of Confucius was pulled down in the second century.[2][3] The name comes from the tadpole-shape with big heads and tails of the characters.[4] It was distinct from the insect script.[5][6] However "tadpole script" can simply be a popular way of referring to the ancient script of the Chou period.[7][8]
