Seal script emphasizes that the return of qi should be rounded, the thickness of strokes should be consistent, the left and right sides should be consistent and symmetrical. Everything will be perfect. This is the case with the secret service. I just spent two years practicing seal script. This thing is best from primary school, because seal script is hieroglyphics, and it is a good work for children to spend flowers casually. So I've been playing here since I was three and a half years old.
Seal script is a very old font. Nowadays, most people are not familiar with it except engraving seals. However, its form has a special charm. There are so-called primitive and free ancient prose such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jinwen, and then pay attention to the style and neat beauty of Xiao Zhuan. When learning, you usually learn its laws through Xiao Zhuan first. In Qing Dynasty, Deng, Zhao and others all integrated the ancient seal script into the materials of calligraphy works, and created unique seal script brushwork respectively, which opened a new atmosphere. The editor of this book is an authority in the field of seal script. He first explained what seal script is, introduced the learning secrets of seal script, and deeply analyzed the wonderful skills of these three famous artists, so as to show that even beginners can learn seal script by themselves.
I'll tell you some books. I have practiced the first book of each font, and others have practiced it, but it is not very representative. Only in calligraphy is very famous, very representative:
