Huang Yi was born in Hangzhou, but spent most of his life traveling in other places. When he was eight years old, his father Huang Shuming, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, died, and his mother Liang Ying taught him to read and write. Huang Yi's eldest brother, Huang Ting, is an official in the northern part of Chu. Forced by life, he has been traveling with his brother since he was fifteen. So that thirty-eight years later, Huang Yi wrote a poem with emotion: "The chicken sings and sings, and it sleeps, and it is cold and frosty. Sorry for what happened 38 years ago, I resigned from the passenger ship today. "
1In the spring of 765, Huang Yi went north to Gu 'an as a disciple, and then went to Wugang to start his eight-year private school teaching career. Around the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong (1772), Huang Yi began to follow Zheng Zhijin as an aide, and moved from Wuyouchang in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province to Nangong County and Qingyuan County in the suburbs of Beijing for four years. Later, Zheng Zhijin donated to Huang Yi as an official. In August of A.D. 1777, Huang Yi went to Beijing and asked officials to row the east river. Apart from a short tenure in Henan, Huang Yi spent his career in Shandong, mostly along the canal.
In the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong (1789), Huang Yi was recommended and promoted to Tongzhi, Yunhe Road, Jining, Shandong Province, until his mother died in February in the sixty years of Qianlong (1795). Huang Yi's visit to monuments, friends and artistic creation reached its peak during his ten years on Canal Road. In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Ding You served his sentence and was temporarily seconded to drive the river. In the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), he was recommended by Qing Gui, a university student, and then met the canal. In the sixth year of Jiaqing (180 1), the canal appointed a nurse Tong Zhi. He contracted cold and dampness in Wang Nan in the third year of Jiaqing (1798), and died in Canal Road in Jining on February 23rd of the second year of nursing canal, at the age of 59.
We have seen the general record of Huang Yi's life, the edification of his family studies and the frustrations of his youth, all of which have a deep influence on him.

Leisure printing is the development direction of seal cutting. Compared with the printing of names, calligraphy and painting, the printing of casual printing is mostly a subset of famous sentences of classics, poems and songs. The integration of seal cutting, knife cutting, brushwork and literary meaning makes the cultural core of seal cutting more prominent. This seal is printed in exquisite China Zhu Wen, and the reduction of the word "Wen" in the middle makes the printing center of the seal more stable, and the whole chapter can be unified, which is interesting in circulation. We won't say much about the knife method of this seal. The short knife method of Zhejiang seal cutting is the characteristic of the four schools in Xiling, and this seal highlights Huang Yi's ingenuity. If we look at the excellent works of Zhu by Jiang people, we can feel the differences between them more strongly through comparison.
Let's take a look at the seal, the seal of official script, and the double-knife engraving, just like the inscription. As can be seen from the brushwork, Huang Yi's calligraphy skill, at that time, both Jiang Renhe and Deng, a calligrapher and seal engraver at that time, were partial to official script. Bright vermilion printing and heavy black and white brushwork make the artistic expression of seal cutting more complete. Just like calligraphy and painting, only books, paintings, seals and forms are complete, and so is seal cutting. At that time, seal cutting was not only a vassal of calligraphy and painting, but also an independent art form.
Seal: Chen Painting and Calligraphy Collection
Compared with idle printing, this printing has nothing to say. With this exquisite Zhu, we can notice that the word "room" in the printing head is a very symmetrical and straight treatment, which makes the printing surface more straight. The horizontal painting of three characters above the printing surface is straight and straight, similar to a broken border, straight and rhythmic. The original seal should have four side bars, which can be seen from the residue at the bottom of the printing surface. However, after this borderless sidebar is broken, it has the feeling of sidebar, which makes the seal more vicissitudes. The large-scale damage at the bottom of the word "teacher" is even more natural and ingenious. This kind of fragmentation is so natural that people deeply realize the ruthlessness of time and the vicissitudes of history. This kind of Zhu highlights the beauty of seal cutting style.
The brushwork is even more impressive. Compared with the brushwork of simply writing the name or year in Ming Dynasty, it can be appreciated as a calligraphy tablet.
Seal: Laugh and forget it.

In autumn and summer, Jia is burning in his arms
An old friend goes upstream, and the wind and rain are together.
As a result, the boiling soup pot became a cold dew pot.
Looking for mountains in seclusion, floating in the clouds.
The name of walking together is Yan, and singing is not lonely.
A drink is more than enough for a big tree leaning on a high cover.
On the three rivers and five lakes, the peaks paint.
I pity my hometown alone, but the smoke is still blurred.
Knowing the danger of the world, you can have this leisure and entertainment.
Laugh and forget, and the wind will play.
This seal can be said to be one of Huang Yi's works comparable to Ding Jing's, and it is close to Ding Jing in both face printing and brushwork. It can also be said that this kind of white seal is a representative category of Zhejiang seal cutting. The knife method is free and easy, and the writing style is simple and natural. The words "One", "Smile" and "Hundred" are Huang Yi's favorite designs, while the words "Worry" and "Forget" can be broken, even missing the general printing style of China and India. Freedom, without affectation, is like the printed word "laugh it off", so we say leisure. Reasonable composition highlights the artistic conception of the seal and brings out the best in each other. While appreciating the seal cutting a hundred years ago, we are also appreciating the poems a hundred years ago, which is also the charm of seal cutting.
As for the engraving method in calligraphy, we can see Ding Jing's single-knife engraving method. But unlike Ding Jing's "inverted nail" seal cutting, it is more exquisite.
Let's look at one of Huang Yi's works and compare Ding Jing's works. The composition of this seal is representative of the unique method we introduced. The unique shape of the word "B" and a large number of red marks are in contrast with the other three words "unitary", "solution" and "yuan", which makes the key points on the printing surface stand out. The arrangement of four-character printed characters is a typical arrangement of Zhejiang school, that is, the diagonal characters are smaller and the characters are slightly larger. Another feature of this seal is the touching treatment of the white seal, which is very distinctive and even has a sense of overflow, but all this is to set off the unique performance of the word "B". Similar works also have the following seal of "None Can Be Less".
