Features: The Collected Works of Seal Carving with Pinyin Corrections is the original work of Mr. Wang Fu'an, one of the founding members of the Xiling Seal Society. It was revised and supplemented by his disciple, the renowned seal carver Mr. Han Deng'an, who once served as the General Secretary of the Xiling Seal Society. Both Mr. Wang and Mr. Han were experts in the study of ancient Chinese characters and particularly skilled in seal carving. Their collaboration in writing this book demonstrates its academic and practical value. Today, seal carvers often struggle with newly emerging characters. While it is acceptable to follow modern styles, there is also concern about being criticized for lacking knowledge of the Six Books of Calligraphy. With this book, as Mr. Ma Guoquan remarked, it is like "finding a bridge to cross the river," providing great convenience. The book contains several times the number of entries as Shuowen Jiezi and is rich in detailed content with precise explanations, making it a valuable supplementary reference tool for Shuowen. It is believed that in the future, it will become an indispensable work in the field of seal carving and calligraphy. This book is prefaced by Mr. Zhong Yulong, a senior figure of the Xiling Seal Society, and inscribed by Mr. Xu Yingpu, a respected elder and a member of the Society's council, as well as Mr. Ma Guoquan, another council member. Both gentlemen provide detailed evaluations of the book's creation and purpose, serving as helpful guides for readers.
