Which is easier, positive engraving or negative engraving?

It is much easier to carve patterns with positive images than with negative images. Because the male carving can directly see the effect and depth of the pattern carving, it is difficult for the female carving to grasp the details of the pattern and the relief effect, because it is only the reverse pattern. As long as the intaglio is slightly careless, it can't be repaired if it is carved too deep, and it can only be invalidated.

Yin engraving and Yang engraving are two basic methods of traditional carving in China. However, modern lettering, whether female lettering or male lettering, is obviously different from traditional lettering.

Modern lettering shows the language communication between knives, and the traces of one knife and one knife and the texture of wooden structure are unobstructed.

Development of Yangtu Sculpture

Knife marks on the bottom texture of male carving are a new development that breaks through traditional printmaking and a leap in the quality of modern edition. Modern lettering started late, but it developed rapidly in the process of gradually changing from tradition to modernity.

As a dynamic new art of modern lettering, it is the most attractive and striking artistic style. From it, we can see the collection of literature, art, sculpture, modeling and other artistic forms, and feel the brilliance of its aesthetic compound.

Mr. Quan Xijun put forward the idea of developing "China lettering, focusing on orthographic lettering". After the initial stage of 10 years, I have learned a lot from Japan and South Korea in terms of form, techniques and decoration. However, if you want to surpass the above countries, you can't take the road of other countries. We should take advantage of China's cultural accumulation for thousands of years to find a breakthrough.
