How to seal it?

Question 1: How to appreciate seals (seal cutting)? Although China's seal is not as elegant as calligraphy or as bright and dark as painting, it has another simple and profound emotion, which contains China people's unique aesthetic taste and rich philosophical thoughts. Feng Zikai, a master of art, once said that seal cutting (China seal or seal) is "operating within a square inch, appreciating it almost unscathed, judging its density and distinguishing its beauty." Therefore, "calligraphy and painting are of the same origin, books are deeper than paintings, and stones are deeper than books." We can appreciate China's seal from two aspects, one is the artistic beauty of China's seal, and the other is the material beauty of China's seal. Generally speaking, the beauty of printing art can be divided into four parts: printing, printing, printing spectrum and printing decoration. To appreciate seal script, we must first master the characteristics of artistic expression techniques such as calligraphy, composition and knife cutting, and then understand the interest and implication contained in the content of seal script, and then savor it carefully and experience it slowly. Printers who have always made achievements in calligraphy attach great importance to calligraphy, and "making no mistakes" is an important prerequisite to ensure the appreciation value of seals. Calligraphy is the art of writing. If you can't even read, there is no artistic appreciation. The reason why seals have been respected and loved by intellectuals in past dynasties is precisely because of his difficulty and the challenges and temptations brought by his difficulty. 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. The method of seal printing is the method of position arrangement and overall layout between words and lines. 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 China and India are based on this, and further require naturalness and vividness for negotiation and pondering. It is difficult and complicated for ancient people to cut copper and carve jade with knives. Good stone is extremely suitable for stress, just like good paper is subject to pen and ink, where the iron pen passes, stone chips are scattered, showing the effect of natural cracking, leaving traces of lines and bearing the vigorous stone flavor of Gu Zhuo. Knife method can be roughly divided into two types: punching knife and cutting knife. Punch and knife moves quickly, rushing thousands of miles, much like the brushwork of calligraphy, which can show vigorous momentum; The cutting knife moves slowly, and it cuts continuously with a short-distance kitchen knife, one step at a time, just like a pen in calligraphy, which can show vigorous, concise, heavy and steady breath. Sometimes the combination of the two knife methods is better. Interest and Significance As we know, many writers, poets, painters and calligraphers in the past dynasties have a special liking for seals, and many Indians also work as painters and calligraphers. They often use some allusions, idioms, poems or rude words as the content of idle chapters, which can often surprise and be interesting. When we appreciate such sentences, we will also find them particularly interesting and interesting. In China, Yin Zhangshi has a long history. Since ancient times, Yin Zhangshi has always been the embodiment of literati's mind and thought. There is a poem by Lu You that says, "Flowers are things that can't be explained, but stones are the most inexhaustible." Yin Shi, with its unique colors, patterns, phonology, rigidity and softness, and modeling, silently conveys meaning and silences the existing voices. As early as the Warring States to the Western Han Dynasty, talc was used to make seals, but its stone quality was poor and it was only used for human sacrifices. Later, ancient seals appeared, mostly made of durable copper and jade. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Wang Mian, a famous painter in Zhejiang, carved his own seal with opal, which can be said to be the beginning of Yin Zhangshi's crowding into the forest of art. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, Wen Peng accidentally got four baskets of Qingtian frozen stones used to make women's jewelry in Nanjing and tried to carve his own seal. Since then, seal cutting has risen among literati. After several generations of development, Yin Zhangshi has become increasingly rich, with diverse carriers and different forms. Among them, Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone, feldspar stone and Bahrain stone are the most beautiful. [Changes of seal names in past dynasties]: Before the Qin Dynasty, official seals and private seals were both called "seals" (also called "bells"). After Qin unified the six countries, it was stipulated that the emperor only called "Feng" and his subjects only called "Feng". In the Han Dynasty, kings and queens also called it "seal". Don Wu Ze changed his name to "Bao" because he thought "seal" and "death" were homophones. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the old system was followed, and "seal" and "treasure" were used together. Han general print called it "Zhang". After that, according to people's habits, seals have various names, such as "seal", "seal", "record", "Zhu Ji", "covenant", "seal", "pledge" and "seal".

[Origin of Ancient Seals]: China's lettering, the oldest of which are Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Zhou and Qin stone carvings in Yin Ruins. All words engraved on gold, copper, jade and other materials are generally called "Jinshi". The seal is contained in the "stone". The origin of Xi seal, or three generations, or Yin dynasty, is still inconclusive. According to relics and historical records, at least ...

Question 2: How to design the seal of seal cutting 1 First of all, the design should meet the physical requirements and have basic bearing capacity, and then consider materials, workmanship and so on. If the load-bearing problem is not considered, the design does not meet the mechanical requirements, and even if the materials are used well, people can't live.

2. Yin Gao's design emphasizes the unity of composition and seal cutting. If the composition is suitable, you must look at the prints of famous artists. Reading printed music is also very particular about methods. First of all, you can't just look at it, but also understand it.

3. Yin Gao's creation should choose proper characters and composition. An excellent seal cutting work can't be separated from characters, composition, knife cutting and the author's inner cultivation. When faced with printed words, the first thing to consider is whether to use Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions or seal script, which all depend on the shape and content of printed words. This kind of kung fu can only be realized with long-term practice. After the text is selected, it is necessary to face the rules and arrangements.

Question 8: Can it be used as a material tool for seal cutting?

1. Indian Dao

carver

Seal cutter is the main tool. Its thickness, length, weight, knife angle, sharpness and flatness will directly affect the carving effect. Choosing a printing knife is just like choosing a writing brush, which will affect the expressive force of writing. Of course, there is also a process of mastering, and you should consider your preferences and habits when choosing.

(1) blade, generally carved with a flat knife. Both sides are open, and the knife edge is 90 degrees. If the knife edge is greater than 90 degrees, it is easy to slide the knife when carving, and it is not easy to carve accurately and straight.

(2) The sharpness of the blade is directly proportional to the height of the inclined plane with two openings. The high slope is sharp and the low slope is dull. From the side of the knife angle, the rake angle of the blade should not be too sharp or too blunt, and generally it is appropriate to be 45 degrees to 15 degrees. If the angle is small, it is too sharp, and the carved lines are easy to be smooth and lack implicit tenacity; If the angle is large, it will be blunt, and the lines carved out will be brittle and often lack a refreshing feeling.

(3) The thickness, weight and thickness of trees are generally determined according to their own habits and preferences. Generally, the thicker arbor is heavier, and the thinner arbor is lighter. Heavy, falling force, help; But overweight and inflexible; Thin and light, easy to carry and flexible, but if it is too thin, it is not easy to carry and stress. Generally, two light and heavy ones can be prepared. For heavy hands, it can be about one centimeter wide and two or three millimeters thick. For the smaller one, it can be 6 to 7 mm wide and 1 to 2 mm thick.

(4) Trees are generally about15cm long, slightly higher than their jaws. If it is too long, it will swing greatly during carving and transportation, which will affect the stability and accuracy of knife transportation. If it is too short, it is inconvenient to carry and it is not easy to focus. When you are a beginner, you can usually go to a painting and calligraphy club to choose finished products. If you can do it yourself, you can do it according to your own preferences. The pavilion can be wrapped with thin rope (plastic rope, rattan skin or city strips, etc.). ), which is conducive to grasping the strength when carving, and at the same time, it can avoid hurting fingers or Yin Shi when the handle slides during carving.

2. Pen, ink and inkstone

Used for copying, drawing, extension, etc.

(1) Generally, two pens should be prepared, one is new and the other is old, which are used for copying, manuscript drafting, anti-calligraphy and inscription. A wool varies in size, the big one is used to write Yin Gao, and the small one is used to dip in water to extend the boundary.

(2) One ingot of ink, one ingot of oil and one ingot of smoke ink, or a bottle of good calligraphy and painting ink (such as China ink stick and Cao Sugong ink). ). When using it, it should be ground to avoid exudation. After grinding with vermilion ink, smear it on dark Yin Shi, and then ink it on the book, which is clearly visible and easy to carve. Sometimes, although the manuscript is wrong, it can be revised. Generally, this method is used less.

(3) Two small inkstones can be prepared. If you don't need to grind cinnabar, an inkstone will do. Ordinary bluestone inkstones can be used as inkstones. But it should be smooth, moist and easy to ink. Of course, it is better to have a good inkstone. In general, it is necessary to keep the inkstone clean, especially when ink is used for inking. Be sure to wash the inkstone in advance, and then grind it, or the ink will be black. With Su Mo's rubbings, it is easy to ooze ink after mounting.

3. Sandpaper (emery cloth)

To polish Yin Shi, you can usually prepare a thick piece, and a thin piece of water sandpaper can be prepared. If there is no sandpaper, you can also use flat fine cement board or masonry.

4. Yin Chuang

Yin Chuang

Yin Chuang is used to fix seals, so as to save time and effort when carving, especially when carving hard materials or small printed matter. Generally, it is a soft printing material, such as Qingtian and Shoushan stone. Or a larger seal is supported by the left hand, and Yin Chuang may not be needed. There are two kinds of wood and metal in Yin Chuang. Generally, wooden ones are better, which are both applicable and easy to buy.

5. Printing

Printing is used to brush the printed surface. First, brush off the stone powder when carving, because it is not suitable to blow it with your mouth. It is not good for your health to blow it with your mouth for a long time. Second, when printing in wok, brush the printing surface first to prevent dirt such as stone chips from being brought into the inkpad. Generally, a small brush or toothbrush can be used instead.

6. Brown broom

Commonly known as "brown tiger", it is used to expand border payment. Calligraphy and painting clubs in big cities sell them. But generally sold in the market, the thickness of brown silk is not picky, and it is easy to damage the paper when used. Choose a finer one when you buy it. When I first used it, it was hard. It can be rubbed on a hot iron plate, or it can be rubbed on a gravel or cement floor to make it soft, and the brown silk becomes thinner and sharper, and then rubbed with a little vegetable oil to make it smooth. If it is not easy to sell in the market, you can also bring your own brown silk. Choose a round, straight and thin one that can be tied into a brown broom with a diameter of about 2-4 cm and a length of about 5-8 cm, and leave one cm at both ends, or you can use it.

7. Tobao

Used for boundary extension. The method of wrapping is: firstly, take hardcover paper, cut it into round blocks about the size of coins, use new cotton with a slightly thicker bottom, then wrap it with a layer of plastic paper and serge cloth, and finally wrap it with a layer of soft fine satin (or replace it with polyester) to make flat round balls, and tie the neck tightly with thread. Extended packaging requires a tight dressing and a smooth surface.

Question 9: The quality of seal cutting works. Appreciation of seal cutting works should be suggested in long-term study, so that you have that feeling.

And you can also learn some knowledge about seal cutting and seal appreciation, such as going to godseal. So you can have your own opinion.

Question 10: How does seal cutting reverse the words on the seal? Step 1: Grind the ink well. My choice is to use a dege ink+ink block method. It must have been ground very thick.

Step 2: The best paper is the history paper. In choosing paper, I used copy paper and wax paper blank. The advantage of these two kinds of papers is that they are particularly transparent and suitable for copying manuscripts. However, it is not easy to master the water consumption when crossing manuscripts. Too much water is black, and too little water is not clear enough. There are also seal cutting carbon paper sold online, and the effect of manuscript crossing is also general. Step 3: When copying manuscripts, choose a good Yin Gao. It is best to print the manuscript electronically, and it is best not to trace it in books or printed spectra to avoid pollution.

Secondly, cover the historical paper on the Yin Gao for tracing, and finally clamp it to avoid moving.

Step 4: Prepare 1, clean water 2, small brush 3, toilet paper or other absorbent paper on the watermark. I use toilet paper because it is cheaper. 4. Pen container or my fingernail cover. 5. Polishing Yin Shi (be careful not to wipe it too clean).

Step 5: Watermark the stone 1 and cover Yin Gao, Yin Shi.

2. Wet with a brush (not afraid of too much water)

3, first use toilet paper to suck water once (don't suck it dry, it is not clear when it is sucked dry), and then cover it with another layer.

4, polished with fingernails or pens, toilet paper will faintly reveal the appearance of Yin Gao.

5. After taking off the toilet paper, Yin Gao clearly printed it on the stone.

This is after the manuscript is completed

Yin Gao's traces on toilet paper can also be compared to see what is not in place.
