Seal cutting is one of the traditional word-making techniques in China, which has a history of hundreds of years. In the past, mud printing refining was an important publishing process, and many books and newspapers were made by mud printing refining technology. With the changes of the times and the development of science and technology, the refined characters of clay printing are gradually replaced by other more efficient printing technologies. However, as one of China's heritages, refined clay-printed characters are still preserved and passed down by some traditional artists and cultural institutions.
Although traditional Chinese characters printed in clay are gradually marginalized in the field of publishing and printing, in modern society, traditional Chinese characters printed in clay have new uses. Some artists use clay printing refining technology in their calligraphy art creation, and skillfully combine traditional skills with modern aesthetics to create works with modern aesthetics. In addition, refined clay-printed characters are also used to make souvenirs, cultural shirts and other cultural products, which not only inherits the traditional culture of China, but also wins the recognition of the modern market.
