Introduction to seal cutting:

Seal cutting is a traditional art form, named after the seal script printed on the ancient seal. It is the art of combining calligraphy and sculpture (including chiseling and casting) to make seals. As far as the production technology is concerned, it refers to carving patterns or characters designed on the plane on materials such as metal, stone, teeth and horns.

A brief history of seal cutting:

The seal originated from the class society, initially as a symbol of documents, and later became a certificate of rights and interests. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, seals were widely used, including articles, gold coins and standard instruments. Qin and Han dynasties were the prosperous period of seals, and the official seals in Han dynasty had formed a whole set of systems, and the forms of seals were more diverse.

Seal appreciation:

1, calligraphy

Artists who have been very successful attach great importance to calligraphy. In the previous chapter, we have learned that "no mistakes" is an important prerequisite to ensure the appreciation value of seals. As we all know, calligraphy is the art of writing. If you can't even read, there is no artistic appreciation. The reason why seals are respected and loved by intellectuals in past dynasties is precisely because they are not easy.

What is easy to get is neither challenging nor attractive, not to mention the appreciation value. For connoisseurs, understanding seal script has become the primary task. At first glance, seal script is a bit strange, but it is actually very easy to learn and difficult to master. The development of seal script is centered on "shape", although it later became "image".

The method of printing articles is the method of position arrangement and overall layout between words. Reasonable rules and regulations can give people high-grade enjoyment, while unreasonable rules and regulations can make people know at a glance that the details are insufficient or even fake. The basic requirements of rules and regulations are balance, honesty, generosity and correctness. Most of the rules and regulations in Chinese and Hindi are based on this, which further requires naturalness and vividness.
