"Seal" is also called "seal", which was called "seal" in ancient times, and studying seals is called "seal". Seals are a unique arts and crafts that combine calligraphy and sculpture in our country. Because its calligraphy artistic attributes are slightly different from general arts and crafts, it is also called "seal carving art". Chinese seal carving and calligraphy can be regarded as twin sisters in Chinese art.
Regarding the origin of seals, seals are recorded in "The Book of Zhou" and "Zuo Zhuan", which can indicate that seals were used in social activities as early as the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. Judging from the physical objects discovered in modern archaeology, seals have existed since the Shang Dynasty, and ancient seals in the Warring States Period have reached a very high artistic level. This previous seal was collectively called "seal". After the Qin unification, it was stipulated that only the emperor's seal could be used as "seal". As for the seals of officials and the people, they could only use "seal". Later, dynasties in feudal society generally followed this system. In the Han Dynasty, seals with "zhan" or "seal" added under official titles, such as "Guanghan General's Seal", etc., while Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty changed to "treasure" because "seal" was homophonic with "Xi", such as "Emperor's Treasure", etc. In addition, they were also called "Ji", "Zhu Ji", "Tianzhan", etc.
The text on the seal was first consistent with the fonts that were common at that time. For example, during the Warring States Period, large seal scripts and Zhuan texts were used in various countries. Qin used Li Si's Qin seal scripts. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the scope of fonts used on seals was greatly expanded, and a variety of seal scripts such as Miao seal scripts and bird and insect seals appeared. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, not only did they follow the seal script, but also used fonts such as official script and regular script to treat seals, and even oracle bone inscriptions from the Yin Dynasty were absorbed. Of course, the seal script is still the one that always dominates, and this has not changed to this day.
The materials used for seals were originally mainly made of metal materials such as copper and gold, which was inseparable from the fact that most seals at that time were mostly cast and smelted. There are also a small number of rhino, ivory, jade and lithographs. Ancient seals are generally flat and small, and are carved with various forms of seal buttons such as altars, platforms, dragons, and tigers. They are usually hung on the belt for use at any time. The materials and shapes of ancient seals in the pre-Qin period are as they please, and there is no customization. After Qin Dynasty, there were clear regulations on official seals, which were the criteria for distinguishing official ranks. The order of ranks is: jade is the most expensive, generally used by the emperor, followed by gold and silver. Generally, officials can only use copper seals, and private seal materials do not pay so much attention to it. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the official seals became larger and the seal materials were richer.
Yuan Wangmian discovered the soft texture of the flower lacquer stone, which opened up a vast world for the development of seal carving art. This discovery made the literati's own seal carving form a trend, and seal carving art developed rapidly like bamboo shoots after a rain. Wen Peng and He Zhen of the Ming Dynasty rose up, inherited from the Qin and Han dynasties, boldly broke through the barriers of their predecessors, and exhausted their entire lives to fuel the art of seal carving. Since then, various schools of seal carving have emerged in various colors and famous masters. In the Qing Dynasty, there were even flowers blooming and colorful flowers. In modern times, seal carving art became more popular, and there were many inheritors and innovators in various schools. Today, seal carving art, a rare treasure in the traditional art treasure house, stands tall among the world's national art with its unique artistic charm.

Qin official seal
After Qin Shihuang unified the country, he abolished the different characters of the six Eastern countries, implemented the policy of "same writing" and formulated a neat but not rigid Qin seal, commonly known as small seal. What we see in Qin Seal is this type of text, which is characterized by its vigorous and peacefulness, stability and naturalness.The Qin official seal is based on the small seal strokes he created, and the style is basically the same as the texts on the Qin Dynasty, Qin Quanli, and the stone carved by Langya Terrace and Taishan. It is easy to be different from the texts of various countries before the Warring States Period or before the Warring States Period. The special drama is the seals of various countries. Among the Qin official seals that have been passed down from the perspectives of text, historical materials, production methods, etc., the upper limit of some official seals may have been as early as the late Warring States Period. For example, the "Changwu Jun Seal", some may have to be postponed to the early Han Dynasty. This is because the Qin Dynasty's history is very short and there are very few Qin official seals in the world.
The official seal of the Qin Dynasty is obviously different from the official seal of the Warring States Period. In the Qin Dynasty, only the emperor's seal was called "seal", and all officials were called "seal" or "seal". Except for the emperor's jade, the Qin officials' seals were generally made of copper, and most of them were chiseled with white text. Usually 2 to 3 cm square, square seals like to use the field character boundary grid, and the seal text distribution grid is distributed. This format makes the small seal font processed by omitting, shifting, and giving in the square frame, becoming a more rigorous "seal seal seal" that tends to be neat, changing the slender appearance of the small seal, and thus unifying it with the form of the seal, making it look flat and beautiful, with round and smooth brushstrokes, upright and powerful. This early form of "sealing seals" in Han Dynasty was straightforward and natural, with a lot of ancient and simple spirit. There is also a kind of seal with the "Sun"-shaped border that coexists with the square seal, which is exactly half of the square official seal, called "half-turn seal". The characteristics of this type of seal are roughly the same as those of square official seals. The Qin official seals are more rigorous in terms of layout, and are arranged properly in sparse, dense, virtual and real. They transition from round to square based on the natural and simple style of ancient seals. Therefore, the seal surface contains roundness, and agility and changeable posture is overflowing in vigorous and peaceful state, giving people a lively, free, humorous and witty feeling, and reflecting rich artistic connotations. In terms of form, although it is not as rich and colorful as ancient seals, it has distinct characteristics of the times that carry forward the past and open up the future, laying the foundation for the Han seal - the glorious period of Chinese seal carving art.

No matter what shape, it is small in size, commonly known as "Qin Xiao Seal". The seal text is beautiful and cute, the font is in accordance with the shape and trend, and it is stable with the situation. The structure is sparse and dense, and it is extremely harmonious and unified. It has exquisite chiseling skills, showing the superb strain energy knife and craftsmanship skills of the seal craftsmen. Because the Qin Dynasty's lifespan was short, the subjects at that time were still the remains of the late Warring States Period. The private seals they used were less restricted by the official seal form except for their writing, and naturally followed the seal style of the late Warring States Period. Therefore, there were many legacy of private seals in the Warring States Period.
The square and circular seals in Qin private seals are finely chiseled, with elegant and elegant fonts. This type of seal text is closer to the characteristics of the inscriptions of the edicts carved in the contemporary era. The two-character seals in square and round shapes are arranged within the narrow and narrow boundary grids on the left and right, so they have a long body and beautiful lines. The seal is graceful and relaxed, with the upper part of the cloth being converged and the lower part being sparse. Coupled with the skillful chiseling techniques of the printers and the characteristics of the copper printing blank, the movement is exquisite and free, the knife is full of love and style, exquisite and transparent, which makes people unbearable to let go. The semi-tong seals in Qin private seals are mostly straightforward and interesting. The two characters are in the upper and lower square frames, which seem to be done inadvertently, but they are very decent and have straightforward and simple, and are naturally decorated, which has more aesthetic interest and aesthetic value. Later generations were inspired by it and brought seal carving art to a higher level. The oval seals in the Qin private seal are also engraved very exquisitely, with the ups and downs and turns that show the interest in the brush and ink. The characters and seal shapes are unified and harmonious, and are simple and vivid.

Han official seal
Han Dynasty was the heyday of the development and maturity of seal art.It has a profound influence and lasting life, and is still a model that seal engravers have been imitated by seal engravers. Han official seals were divided into two types: cast seals and chiseled seals. Generally, civil servants often used cast seals. In the urgent need of the "Qizhaozhang" in the army, the official seals issued to brotherly nations were made of chisels. The seal text was mostly white. The style of calligraphy was "Miaozhang" evolved from small seal script. This is a kind of text that transitioned from seal script to official script. The structure was square and round. It was slightly increased and decreased according to the six scripts, and the form of small seal script was changed without changing the brushwork of small seal script. It was similar to the style of official script, and did not use the style of official script. Once the softness and charm of Qin seals are transformed into vigorous and powerful. The overall artistic style of the Han official seal is thick and simple, clumsy on the outside and clever on the inside, dignified solemn, flat and natural, and generous. But there is also a lot of extensive, majestic, thin, steep, and magnificent style. It is its colorful nature that has brought seal art into an unprecedented prosperity.
Han seal has a huge impact on seal carving art. Chen Hongshou of the Qing Dynasty once said: "If you first learn to practice seals, you should take Han people as the main point. If you imitate your heart and follow your hands, you must seek to be similar in spirit to make your seal the best." The white seals, which are both smooth and simple and mao, are the most representative. Among them, the seals are full of white texts, such as "Dongjun Governor's Governor" and "Sima", which are vigorous and simple, and the strokes are naturally interesting. They are dense and airtight, and the sparse and wide can make the horse run, producing a strong visual effect, which is very inspiring to later seal engravers.

Han General Seal
General Seal is a seal with a unique style in the Han seal. It is a patent of the generals in the Han official seal, so it is called "General Seal". The general's seal is made by chiseling, that is, to chisel the seal on the prefabricated metal seal. This is due to frequent military activities, and most generals must be handed over immediately due to military emergency situations, so the seal can only be chiseled in a hurry. Gan Yang said in "Seal Collection": "Carrying seals with hammers to make a text, which is also called engraving, which is very quick to complete... It is called "Qizhao" in the army, and it is urgent to pay tribute to the seal, so it is often chiseled to facilitate convenience." The general uses "urgent seals", two chisels of high-ranking official positions are made into documents, and the seals are relatively regular, while one chisels of low-ranking official positions are simple and casual.
General's seal seems unrestrained than castings, natural and natural, sharp and unrestrained. The marks of the chiseled knife in the seal text are obvious, the lines are vivid, concise and spiritual, and the pen is exhausted and the meaning is endless. Sometimes it is crooked and slanted, and it is improvised. However, its naivety and ingeniousness and the innocence of carving are of great inspiration to later seal engravers.

Han Jade Seal
Warring States ancient seals, whether the official seal or private seal, the texture is mostly copper, there are silver and jade between them, and there is no customization for the printing materials. In the Qin Dynasty, there were strict regulations, and only emperors used themselves to call themselves "seals" and used jade as seal materials. Subjects use seals to call them "seals", and cannot use jade. In the Han Dynasty, jade was occasionally used, such as the "Empress's Seal" and the "Huaiyang King's Seal". It is not uncommon to use jade in private seals.
owns or wears jade. In ancient times, it was an elegant style of princes and nobles. Therefore, the choice of jade quality, writing style and production process are very high. Based on the jade seals we can see at present, it has a very high level of production, exquisite text on the seal, rigorous layout, and round and moist brushstrokes. Due to the corrosion resistance of jade, it can retain its original appearance well after a long period of time. The jade is hard and hard to bear with a knife, and the white seal cannot be engraved very strongly. Therefore, a special seal carving technique was produced, which is what people usually call the "straight knife down" "the jade cutting method". Look at the rough strokes, straight and regular, but there is no sense of stagnation. This solemn and elegant, concise and stable, ancient and beautiful Han Dynasty jade seal gives people a graceful and luxurious aesthetic taste.

Seal from the Warring States Period to the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, the material of seals in all dynasties is mainly made of copper, either cast or chisel. In addition to copper seals, there are also gold seals, silver seals, iron seals, jade seals, amber seals, agate seals, ivory seals, bone seals, tile seals, crystal seals, magnetic seals, purple clay seals, boxwood four, bamboo root seals, gua lemon kernel seals, etc. There are many varieties and colorful. As for lithographs, they are often classified as created by Wang Mian at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. But if the lithograph was generally called Wang Mian's first creation, it is inevitable that people will misunderstand that lithographs had appeared before the real Han Dynasty because the scope of "stone" is very wide. What has been widely circulated since the Ming and Qing Dynasties to this day is actually the "Floral Latte Stone" in ancient times called "Anther Stone". In the Han Dynasty, most of them were talc.
Lithographic seals in the Han Dynasty were mostly used for burial. This custom has been used until the Ming Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, when officials were moved, the rule that the seal and Sui would be resolved; in the Tang Dynasty, there was a system of relinquishing the seals, the official seals buried with talc were often replaced by talc. There are also stone carvings for private seals. Because this talc is soft and tender, it is similar to the woven syrite created by Wang Mian in terms of chemical composition, hardness and color. Its engraving can operate more easily and easily than jade seals, lead seals, etc.

Xu Shen of the Han Dynasty recorded in the preface of "Shuowen Jiezi": "There are eight styles of Qin calligraphy, one is large seal script, two is small seal script, three is carving talisman, four is insect script, five is copying seal, six is calligraphy, seven is calligraphy, and eight is official script." Xu Xuan's note: "The insect script is written by birds, and the words are spoken in the web, and the head is like a bird's shape." The bronze inscriptions such as Prince Yi, King Goujian's sword, King Yue's spear and other bronze inscriptions from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are all in the shape of birds and insects, which should be the earliest form of birds and insects. The bird and insect book text is a beautified and artistic text. It can be said to be the beauty of the text. The birds flying, complex, wonderful, vivid and gorgeous mood it expresses vividly, and people's mentality of seeking beauty and loving beauty.
Han Dynasty seals are the largest media for retaining bird and insect texts. They not only store more bird and insect seal fonts in a square inch, but also allow us to appreciate the exquisite skills of ancient craftsmen. The lines in these seals are extremely tangled and skewed. The beautiful and beautiful appearance and the extremely smooth, flying and flowing beauty come to your face, making you pleasing to the eye.
Bird and insect seal seals can use simple and traditional processing in composition, reflecting the sense of primary and secondary and virtual. This uneven stroke arrangement makes the seal surfaces contrast with sparse and dense, changing and interesting. Such as the two seals of "Yangyu" and "Tiansheng". But it is more of a solemn and stable dynamic composition, such as "Bo Rongnu", "Yiwu", "Xinchengjia", "Ri Li" and other seals. Bird and insect seal seals show a colorful world in a square inch through exaggerated techniques and birds, insects, fish, dragons and other forms, which are full of fun and beautiful.

Han seal clay seal
seal clay, also known as clay seal, is a certificate that seal is sealed on the clay as a physical object and wooden slips. Wei Hong's "Old Han Yi" records that "the emperor's seals are sealed with purple mud in Wudu." The sealing box at the mouth of the hard pottery jar unearthed from the No. 1 Han Tomb of Mawangdui, Changsha, the sealing box on the sealing device for sealing documents unearthed from the Han Dynasty "Jianshui Jinguan" site in Jinta County, Gansu, and the sealing box on the sealing device for sealing documents "Juyan Youwei", is a precious material evidence used by the ancients to use the sealing form. The seals of this period we see now are almost all white texts (incidental texts), because the negative texts are stamped on the soil and become positive texts, which are easy to identify. The sealing mud and ancient seals are in the same way. It can be said to be the "seal molt" of the seals of Qin and Han Dynasties on the clay. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the popularity of paper replaced bamboo slips, and the printing color replaced clay. The sealing clay lost its social function and gradually withdrew from the historical stage.
sealing mud not only has extraordinary archaeological academic value, but also has rich artistic connotations. According to scholars, most of the existing Qin and Han seals are used for burial, not practical seals of that period. Their production technology and artistic level are difficult to compare with practical seals. The sealing mud is stamped by official seals or commonly used seals. Therefore, the seal text on the seal mud truly reflects the actual situation of seal art at that time, and it is undoubtedly a rare and precious heritage of ancient seal culture. On the other hand, when the mud sealing is implemented, the soft mud enters the trough. If the square trough is just filled, the mud block will become square after drying. If there is too much soft mud and overflows the square trough, the mud will appear irregularly round after drying. In addition, the age is long, natural erosion and falling off cause the edges of the mud sealing to be broken. This wide and thick sidebar is sticky and intermittent, and it is very changeable, giving people a sense of ancient, simple, natural and simple beauty. The beauty lies in the reality and the spirit in the virtual. Its spirit is magnificent and powerful, and it means simple and harmonious, and it is naturally decorated.
seal mud plays a very important role in the history of seal carving art. In the seal works of Wu Changshuo, the master seal carving master in the late Qing Dynasty, the ancient and majestic style all retains the temperament and ancient charm of seal mud. He was the most accomplished master of the generation who absorbed nutrients from sealing mud. In the border seal of the "Deaf Silk", Wu said: "The strength is clumsy and sharp, the appearance is ancient and the spirit is empty. Those who learn sealing mud should follow these two words." He also said, "The square and strong places are also round and turn, and they may see it when the ancient sealing mud is sealing mud."

Chinese auspicious seal
auspicious seal means carving auspicious language into a seal. This type of seal was born in the Warring States Period and was the most prosperous in the Han Dynasty.Because the ancients worshipped heaven and believed in gods and believed in good fortune in their work, they specially carved some auspicious words into seals to achieve good luck. The main content of the auspicious seal also has its own characteristics in each dynasty. During the Warring States Period, it was mostly within three characters, such as "chang", "maintaining one's will", "going good luck", "having a thousand golds", etc.; in the Qin Dynasty, "harmony", "respect for the people", "love-loving one's will", "thinking words and respecting one's will", "being kind to the people", etc. In the Han Dynasty, it was generally "daily profit", "today profit", "to earn tens of millions a day", "to grow wealth and honor, and be happy without any trouble", "to live forever", "to be healthy forever", "to benefit forever", "to benefit forever", "to benefit forever". Among them is a red circle auspicious seal with twenty words: "Sui Tong inherits his ancestors, his descendants are kind and kind, and they will always maintain their relatives, and their fortunes are not long, and they will never live without boundaries." It can be said that the words are gorgeous and auspicious. In some auspicious seals, there are also auspicious patterns such as dragon, tiger, and double carp, and the seals are lively and colorful. The idiom seal that was popular between the Song and Yuan dynasties was actually a copy of the auspicious seal. The content is often some elegant words and sentences, which later seal engravers have carried forward and formed the mainstream of seal engraving art - a plastic art that unifies content and form.
There is also a seal engraved with Taoist words such as "Huang Shen Yue Chapter", "Heaven Emperor God Master", and "Huang Shen Seal". Some Taoists and believers carry it with them as a way to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. It is called "Haven Victory Seal". In the book "Baopuzi. Dengshe Pian" written by Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty, it was recorded: "In ancient times, people who entered the mountain all wore yellow seals and Yue seals...... The seals of those who sealed mud live in each hundred steps, and tigers and wolves dare not approach them." The seal of Yansheng originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was not passed down from generation to generation, and was relatively precious.

Wei and Jin official seal
The official seal of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was roughly the same as the official seal of the Han Dynasty. However, the chiseled seals are more than casting seals in the production, and the printing buttons are made of turtles, camels, noses, etc., but the casting process is not as exquisite as the Han seals. The solemn and thick, simple and majestic style of the Han seals is slightly inferior to that of the solemn and thick, simple and vigorous style, and the cloth is casual and relaxed. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, because there were many official seals given to ethnic minorities, in order to make the nation surrender, they all stamped the words "Wei" and "Jin". When sealing and giving gifts, they are often hasty and urgent, so they mainly carved, so they have formed a unique style of chiseling. Although these official seals are not as rigorous in structure and simple as Han seals, they have a thin, relaxed, calm and free style, unique and free style.

Private seals of Wei and Jin dynasties, the size is mostly 2-4 cm square, and some are slightly smaller than this. Most of the seals are Han seal seals. At this time, a font of "hung needle seal" appeared. The characteristic of this font is that the vertical strokes of each character are long and drooping, with a sharp end, which looks like the shape of a hanging needle. There is also a private seal such as "×× seal", which is generally red, with a larger size than the common private seal, and is also very distinctive. The three sets of seals, five or even six-sided seals in the private seals of the Wei and Jin Dynasties were developed from the three-sided seals and the two-sided seals. The three sets of prints are large sets of medium, small sets of medium sets, and layer by layer. For example, "Liu Long" is hidden in the body of "Liu Long", and "Shun Cheng" is hidden in the body of "Liu Long".It is combined into one and separated into three-sided seals. It can be used alone or can be packed and conveniently carried. There are three types of seals for flexible choice when used. It is truly ingenious and unique. Six-sided seals were popular in the Wei, Jin and Sui and Tang dynasties. For example, two six-sided seals signed by "Shan Zeng" and "Yan Lin". Among them, "Shan Zeng" was an object of the Cao Wei Dynasty and is now in the Hunan Provincial Museum. Most of these seals are square and simple in structure, with rigorous composition and strict contrast, with strong contrast in lines. The lines are smooth and changeable. It retains the strict, majestic, thick, vigorous, and simple style of the Han seal.
Wei and Jin private seals are relatively close to the thick style of Han seals. Some have the spirit of Han seals, such as "Jiao Shao Yanshi" and "Wang Gang Private Seal", which are flat and dignified, vigorous and simple. The overall momentum is coherent and vivid, and it is actually a fine product among the private seals of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. During this period, there were many red seals, such as "Liaobu Seal" and "Gaogong Seal". These seals have thin lines and strong structures, and the structure is flat and there are changes. For example, on the side of "Tiaobu Printing", each character is a bit crooked at a glance, but each character is interdependent and forms an organic whole. The whole seal is not only strict in rules, but also has a complete momentum, but also looks lively and vivid.
