Scope of application of seal

1. Name stamp. This kind of printing includes name printing, surname printing, name printing and table printing (words are printed by parents or educated people). Don't use it until adulthood. In ancient times, it was very impolite to call each other by their first names. When we met, we only called each other by word and number. In ancient times, men were called "weak crowns" at the age of 2, indicating that they had reached adulthood and needed social activities. Words and names should have related meanings, such as Mao Zedong, whose words are embellished, and whose meanings are interlinked. The nickname is also a name for people, but it has nothing to do with the name. It often reflects a person's ambition, hobbies and personality characteristics, such as Wolong and Feng Chu in the Three Kingdoms, Dongpo and Baishi later. Some people named it, and some people named it themselves. (Literati are fond of elegance, and often give their residence and study a name according to their personal preferences: so-and-so hall, pavilion, nunnery, den, porch, pavilion, building, Lu-the seal engraved according to this name is the seal of the den. )

2. Identify the collection seal. It is printed on valuable cultural relics such as paintings, calligraphy and books. See more is "the treasure of Kangxi's royal tour" and "the treasure of Qianlong's royal tour". In order not to defile cultural relics, this kind of seal is often Zhu Wen (also called Yang Wen), which is carved very finely and exquisitely.

3. Auspicious language, beautiful poems and sentences, and printed in English. Because this kind of seal expresses the pursuit of a certain artistic conception and taste in words, it plays a great role in improving the taste of calligraphy and painting. Although it is called a leisure chapter, it is not idle. Leisure chapters are not limited by the number of words and content, so you can prepare a lot. Qi Baishi claimed to be a "three hundred stone rich man" and carved this seal. Some painters and painters who can't seal engrave are envious. Sometimes it can supplement the content and deepen the theme.

4. Timekeeping and note printing. Jiazi, Ugly B, Ugly This Year, etc., Wang Fuchang's "I was born in Geng Chen", Wu Changshuo's "Anton Order in January", and Xu Sangeng's "Two Wild Gooses and Four Rooftops". Become a record of history.

5. Xiao-shaped seal. For example, the seal of four spirits, the seal of the zodiac, the seal of Buddha, the seal of fairy tales and so on. Xiao-shaped seal should aim at the ancient Xiao-shaped seal and pursue the simple and natural effect, instead of seeking truth from facts blindly. Otherwise, the traditional characteristics of Xiao seal will be lost. 1. The use of seals should match the creation of calligraphy and painting.

(1) The level of seal cutting matches the level of painting and calligraphy creation. If the seal cutting is poor, it will become a stain on painting and calligraphy.

(2) The style of seal cutting should be coordinated with calligraphy and painting. All the work can complement each other. Qi Baishi's seal can't be used in Wu Hufan's paintings, nor can Yuan Zhuwen in Chen Julai be used in Qi Baishi's works.

(3) The writing content of the leisure chapter is in line with the theme of painting and calligraphy creation, which helps to clarify and deepen the theme. Or hide the implication, so that the viewer has a aftertaste.

2. Can adjust and strengthen the composition of calligraphy and painting.

(1) stabilize the center of gravity. Printed with light and heavy, Zhu Wenqiang, Bai Wenzhong. The two seals overlap, with Zhu Wen on the top and Bai Wen on the bottom. Printed with size, small on the top and big on the bottom. Square seal is the heaviest, followed by rectangle, circle and ellipse. Other shapes are generally not used, because there is a vulgar tendency. The name stamp and corner stamp must be square. The first seal is mostly rectangular and oval. The edge shape can be rectangle, ellipse and circle.

(2) increase the change. Printing on the flat plate can change it, printing on the empty space can enrich it, and printing on the weightlessness can make it even. Especially calligraphy and ink painting, can make it bright.

3. The seal should be singular. In ancient times, it was called odd number, which included the meaning of supporting yang and suppressing yin. Calligraphy works are generally printed less than three times, and paintings should not be printed too much. Otherwise, there is a suspicion of usurping the host's role.

4. Specific usage of several seals.

chapeau: if it is a calligraphy work, it should be inscribed on the right side between the first word and the second word in the first line on the right, or on the right side of the first word and slightly higher than the prefix. Chinese painting, if the title is in the upper right corner, is the same as calligraphy; If the title is on the left side of the painting or elsewhere, this seal should be omitted. Rectangular, round and oval are suitable for this seal.

Corner pressing seal is also called corner pressing seal: it is only used in paintings, and it is the largest seal in paintings. Can only be in the left or lower right corner of the painting. A painting can only be used once. It echoes diagonally with the opening chapter, and the two cannot be in a straight line, otherwise the center of gravity of the whole painting will tilt to one side.

the name is stamped with a bell under the signature, and the same is true for calligraphy and painting (one or two, not too many). If the signature is famous by surname, you can only use surname or name stamp. The following order is the font size seal, the age seal and the vegetarian restaurant seal. Zhai Guan seal can be used as a leisure stamp, but it should take a shape other than a square. The name stamp can't be used as a casual stamp.

the margin seal is also a casual chapter, and the bells are on the left and right sides of the painting. If both sides are used, they cannot be parallel.

5. the choice of inkpad. The inkpad in the office can't be used, but it will be melted, which will spoil the calligraphy and painting. It is best to use the inkpad of Xiling Printing Society. The color is either red or vermilion. Blue, green and other colors should not be used casually, which is only used by painters and painters during their mourning. Yellow can be used in red paper couplets or other works with red as the background. Cut a small piece of rice paper for printing and paste it on the work. Dip the white ink pad more, Zhu Wen less, and the technique should be important.

6. the backing paper should not be too thick when printing. Zhu Wen can directly make the backing paper on the glass plate, and Bai Wen can pad two or three layers of rice paper on the bottom.
