Consult seal script

Some calligraphy websites (such as "Calligraphy Love Network") can find out the writing methods of known characters, but we can't find out what the corresponding characters are from the existing seal script pictures.

Learning seal script is to understand the writing method of ancient Chinese characters, and has nothing to do with word meaning analysis. However, understanding the writing method of seal script can help us understand the meaning of Chinese characters more deeply.

The best way to learn seal script is to buy a dictionary of seal script, with different versions and different titles. Due to the protection of property rights, you can't buy a better book online, so you need to buy it in a physical store. This kind of dictionary often lists the different writing methods and sources of a word together, and can see its changes.

Seal script is a font before Chinese characters are completely finalized, which fully embodies the creation process of Chinese characters. Therefore, the radicals and structures of many words have no fixed position, such as "heart", which can be used as a "ladle" next to it or as the bottom of the heart; Next to the feet, or walking, etc., it is very difficult to identify and cannot be typed by computer. It needs to be scrutinized repeatedly against the dictionary. Therefore, it is very necessary to buy a dictionary.

At present, the so-called "seal script" in computer fonts actually belongs to "seal script art characters", and they can never be used as teaching materials for seal script learning.

In addition, the bookstore also has learning materials about seal script, so you can buy some appropriately. Learning seal script requires personal understanding, reading more, writing more and carving more, becoming an expert, having a teacher is better, and you can learn by yourself without a teacher.
