Qián yìn refers to the last key step that a painting and calligraphy work is about to complete. However, it is also very particular. If you arrange a seal on the work that conforms to the layout and style of the picture, it will make the finishing touch to the painting and calligraphy works. On the contrary, it will destroy the coordination of the whole picture layout, thus reducing the overall quality of calligraphy and painting works. Calligraphy is dominated by black and white, and a little scarlet is broken, which visually fills the regret of loneliness and joy. In the long history of the development of calligraphy and painting, seals have become an indispensable aesthetic effect and an indispensable part. If the work is not printed in the end, there seems to be something unfinished or rebuilt, and there is no satisfactory explanation. Nearby, Lao Du wrote a postscript to Zhou's Biography of Geng Zhai: "Although seal cutting is in the form of a book, it has far-reaching spirit. No expansion, no spread. If you don't expand well, you will be fine. Good or bad printing is the six advantages of engraving and the four advantages of rubbings. Printed with length, size and Fiona Fang, printed with vermilion, fat and thin, engraved with slippery depth, mud dry and moist, paper slippery and hard, book thick and heavy, illness slow, printed, text engraved, mud, paper, book, hand, all seven are adjusted, but the heart should not be, and God has not met. So it is very important to see if the seal of the clock is correct. The following is a summary of my own experience, please read it correctly. First, the calligraphy and painting inkpad used for printing is better than the "eight treasures inkpad" in Zhangzhou, Fujian, and the "thousand springs inkpad" in Suzhou Jiangsi Xutang of Hangzhou Xiling Printing Society. Ink has many colors, but cinnabar and cinnabar are the most commonly used. When not in use, the inkpad should be put in a porcelain jar and covered to avoid dust and water vapor invading and damaging the inkpad. After a period of use, spread the inkpad on the bottom of the cylinder, turn the inkpad upside down and pile it in the cylinder to form a steamed bread to prevent oil slick and sand settling. Turn the mixture in one direction, otherwise the fiber will break easily. Ink is available in calligraphy and painting shops. Second, the printed surface should be clean, and it can be wiped clean with a towel or soft flannel. The seal should be made of an inkpad. If other inkpad needs to be replaced, the printing surface must be cleaned to avoid damaging the inkpad. The margin of the seal falls on the left, and the printed text is orthography. Three, dip in the inkpad technique should be light, like a dragonfly water repeatedly, seal and inkpad vertical, appropriate weight, to ensure that the printed surface is evenly dipped. Fourth, the paper at the stamp is smooth and can be directly stamped. If the paper in the stamp printing place is rough, polish it gently with your nails to make it smooth and print. 5. Put some paper under the paper printed by ringing the bell. The big one should be thicker and the small one should be thinner. Sixth, the weight of the seal is very particular. Generally speaking, the seal is larger, and the seal in the vernacular is heavier; Printing small and fine Zhu Wen is lighter. When punching, the force should be even, and you can't shake on all sides. If you push too hard, Bai Wen will become thinner and Zhu Wen will become thicker; If the force is too light, the imprint will be blurred. You can master it after many attempts. Seven, calligraphy and painting seals are mostly stones, such as Qingtian stone, Shoushan stone, feldspar stone and so on. And stones are generally brittle. Be careful not to fall to the ground and collide with hard objects, otherwise it will be easily damaged. After use, the bell should be put in a clean box. Eight, if you need gold seal, you can use anodized gold foil, put the gold side up on the paper where you want to stamp, burn the printed surface of the lithograph with a gas lighter for more than ten seconds, remove the gold foil from the anodized gold foil with a little force, and immediately gilt it.
