The difference is that the glyphs have different characteristics, production history, and scope of use. The details are as follows:
1. Different glyph characteristics: Traditional seal characters are square in shape, with relatively straight strokes, simple and regular structure, and solemn and steady glyphs. Fanjiao seal characters are square in shape, with many strokes and corners, complex structure, and strong and powerful glyphs.
2. Different history of production: Fanfang Seal Script was developed on the basis of Xiao Seal Script during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and is mainly used to engrave various stone carvings, bronzes, seals, etc. Fanjiao Seal, on the other hand, evolved from the official script and emerged in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was mainly used for engraving cultural relics, dharma calligraphy, and stele inscriptions.
3. Different scope of use: Because the traditional seal characters are simple and dignified, they are widely used in seals, calligraphy, seal cutting and other fields. Fanjiao seal script, on the other hand, is suitable for engraving large stone carvings, stele carvings, inscriptions, etc. due to its strong and powerful glyphs.
