Features: Wu Yiren is one of the most diligent print artists of the modern era. He has published works such as The Print Portfolio of Lu Xun's Works, The Heart Sutra Print Portfolio, The Hundred Fu Seal Portfolio, and Fifty Lectures on Seal Carving. Later, focusing on improvement after mastering the basics, he summarized the experiences of predecessors in seal carving and wrote Seal Carving Methods, from the cautious prelude that does not cross boundaries to the climax of breaking and innovating, aiming to open new horizons. He also wrote Appreciation of Famous Seal Works, striving to be a guide in the laboratory of the spirit of predecessors. Given that many learners lack a solid foundation in textual studies, he further compiled Illustrated Evolution of Common Chinese Characters, teaching others by first teaching himself, which received widespread acclaim. He has also led the writing of the seal carving sections in several large reference books, diligently contributing to drafting, reviewing, and revising manuscripts. Although the works of Qian Souchi and Laichusheng are favored by experts, large-scale specialized collections of their works have yet to be published.
