The art of seal engraving is a combination of calligraphy and engraving, and the unique art form of Chinese characters has a history of thousands of years.
On the one hand, the art of seal engraving has the dual attributes of material culture and spiritual culture, as well as practical value and aesthetic value; the formation and development of seal engraving is also closely related to the politics, economy and culture of the nationality, condensing the aesthetic experience of the Chinese nation and highlighting the unique charm of Chinese art.
On the other hand, as a pure art, seal engraving's aesthetic value is expressed in the fact that it emphasizes the spirit of the subject, advocates lyricism and bixing, integrates the aesthetic interest of personality into the form of the work, attaches importance to the content of emotion, meaning, situation and interest, and the lines and structures of abstract texts as their forms of expression. The author expresses his personal aesthetic pursuits and expresses his joys and sorrows through "engraving" seals, which is the process of natural expression of human nature in the knife method.
