The winners were published in professional newspapers such as Calligraphy Newspaper. This is why the' 96 National Invitational Exhibition of New Concept Seal Cutting was held. And then to the contemporary China freehand brushwork seal cutting research exhibition 20 15. From 1989 to 20 15, it took 26 years for "freehand seal cutting" to develop into a formal revolution of seal cutting from a messy and trivial theory and lack of systematicness. Ouyang Xijun is the originator of the new concept of seal cutting. The history of Indian studies will not be forgotten. The main representatives of modern seal cutting are Han Tianheng, Wang Yong, Shi Kai, Ouyang Xijun, Liu Yiwen and Li Gangtian. However, many so-called works, such as Ceng Xiang and Chen Guobin, are reduced to "visual effects" with only formal beauty or even ugliness.
