Its appearance can be seen as a supplement to the Zhejiang printing system, which is mainly based on imitation seals. This type of printing is considered by the history of printing studies to be a sign of the Zhejiang school of printing, and it is also referred to as one of the signs of the Zhejiang school's progress towards stylization (Tang Yinfang, "Analysis of the Classic Printing Techniques of the Zhejiang School", 78 pages, Chongqing Publishing House, 2006). The zhejiang faction's rest was after Qian Song. In fact, Qian Song had already broken through the barrier of the Zhejiang Faction's Fang Pen Cutting Knife. But even after this genre subsided, its influence was still firmly dominated by the altar of seals. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, the Xiling Printing Society, which was established in Hangzhou, was a printing group that mainly inherited the tradition of the Zhejiang school, and even a generation of master Wu Changshuo Zhiyin also drew a lot of nutrition from the Zhejiang school in the early days, which fully proved the great significance of Ding Jingshen's founding of the Zhejiang school.
