1, Deng
After Si Bing, seal script declined for more than a thousand years. Deng not only revived the Millennium decline, but also immediately promoted it to a height that can't be surpassed so far. People who studied seal script in later generations have learned from it, almost forgetting the existence of Li thousands of years ago.
The source of its revival is the great pioneering work of writing seal script with official script, which completely clarifies the misunderstanding of seal script by predecessors. Deng's seal script has both Li Si's preciseness and Li's elegant beauty, while Mianmi Xiongqiang reached the acme in the Notes of Baicaotang in his later years.

2. Wu Rangzhi
He is a disciple of Bao and lives in Deng. Compared with Deng, our seal script is more slender and elegant. If Naishi is compared to a middle-aged scribe, Wu Rangzhi's seal script can be said to be a charming son.
3. Zhao
Zhao's brushwork is mainly based on the northern tablet, with ups and downs. If seal script is still a solemn temple art with composition factors in Deng He's hands, Zhao did bring it into the writing age.
Since Zhao, all kinds of strokes of calligraphy can't be used in seal script.
4. Xu Sangeng
His calligraphy style is even worse than Zhao's, which can be described as enchanting and compelling.
And Xu Sangeng's achievement and its origin, a seductive and a strange, at first glance, inevitably have a cloud of mud. However, if we look closely, Fiona Fang's gestures are different, but those dazzling are the same. Looking at Xu Sangeng's vertical and horizontal brushwork, strange changes in structure and bold management, it is enough to make his contemporaries soul-stirring. As we all know, Xu Sangeng's research on God and divinity is indomitable, not in the pen, but in the chest.
5. Wu Changshuo
Wu Changshuo is another peak on par with Deng.
Wu Changshuo changed seal script. With the development of epigraphy and archaeology, the goal of taking seal script dates back to the Warring States and even the Western Zhou Dynasty from Qin and Han Dynasties. Wu Changshuo studied under Shi Guwen and became a great master. Under the genius of Wu Changshuo, it is elegant, magnificent, orderly, and can keep pace with strange changes, which is its unattainable place.
6. Wu Dazhi
Wu Dacheng is an archaeologist of epigraphy, who has a deep research on all kinds of ancient Chinese characters. His seal script naturally has a taste of epigraphy. Wu Dacheng took advantage of Fang Bi's situation and used his pen to run. He is meticulous, simple, even and imposing, like bronze casting.
