Style classification and characteristics of seal cutting

1, week:

Before the Qin dynasty, neither official seal nor private seal was called seal, which was collectively called "seal". This is the earliest name printed in China. The seals are big and small, the big ones are a few inches square, and the small ones are only a few minutes. There are copper prints and jade prints. Seal seal is composed of big seal and small seal, and its layout is scattered but not scattered, stretching freely and imposing. Little seals are more beautiful.

2, Qin and Han official seal:

After Qin Shihuang unified China, he reformed the chaotic six-nation script and formulated a unified font-Xiao Zhuan. In the society at that time, Xiao Zhuan was the standard character, so it was also the standard character on the seal.

The shape of Qin seal is different from the past: it is surrounded by a "Tian" shaped frame. The photos are evenly distributed in the box.

3. Official seal and private seal since Tang and Song Dynasties:

Seal script was still used in the Tang Dynasty, but it was quite different from that before the Six Dynasties.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, most of the seals were engraved with odd seals and white characters.

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen was used as the official seal because the printing color was directly covered on cotton paper. At that time, some people printed with official script.

The official seal of Song Dynasty is close to that of Tang Dynasty. But in the Jin Dynasty, it was printed with "Nine Stacks of Seal Characters". The private seal of Song and Yuan Dynasties changed greatly and was widely used. Besides copper and jade, ivory and rhinoceros horn were added. At that time, I could see vermilion inkpad printed on calligraphy and painting works, which produced artistic effects.

The official seal of the Ming dynasty also followed the "nine overlapping seals", which was larger than that of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Most of them are wide-brimmed and thick Zhu Wen.

The official seal of the Qing Dynasty was half in Chinese and half in Manchu. Permanent official, official seal; The official seal of a temporary official is rectangular and is called "customs clearance".
