Features: During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Chinese seal art scene was graced by numerous masters, giving rise to the Anhui and Zhejiang schools, led by Deng Shiru and Ding Jing, which had a profound influence at the time. Subsequently, masters like Zhao Ziqian emerged.

Talented artists flourished, and a large number of elite figures like Zhao Shitong, Qian Shou'tie, Deng Sanmu, Yi Da'an, Jian Qinzhai, and Lai Chusheng emerged one after another, leaving a lasting impact on the contemporary scene and earning attention from later generations. This collection, meticulously compiled through extensive research, gathers representative works of many renowned masters active in China's seal art from 1911 to 1994. It also includes outstanding works by young Chinese seal artists who emerged after the founding of the People's Republic of China. A confluence of masters and masterpieces, each unique in style, collectively reflects the full spectrum of modern Chinese seal art.
