Features: The world-renowned Xiling Seal Society, bathed in its unique lakeside and mountain scenery, has accumulated a splendid cultural landscape. Its establishment and development have always been a dazzling highlight in the history of Hangzhou culture, and a painting in the history of seal culture worth being celebrated with broad strokes. The concept of the "Xiling Taste Series" is based on this idea. By organizing and editing a series of works, it gradually unfolds the multifaceted journey of the Xiling Seal Society over its century-long history, allowing readers to appreciate its past vicissitudes from different perspectives and its current glorious achievements. The series aims to be accessible and enjoyable for both specialists and general readers, neither being an in-depth academic monograph nor a simple illustrated guide. The intention is to hope that researchers can discover something here and that a broad audience can find interest in it. If these original aspirations can be realized, we will be deeply gratified. We believe that through everyone's unremitting efforts and hard work, the Xiling Seal Society, this international "golden name card" with distinctive characteristics of Hangzhou and even Zhejiang, will become brighter, louder, and more captivating. Under the correct leadership of the Hangzhou Municipal Committee and the Municipal Government, we should fully leverage the unique role of the Xiling Seal Society to contribute to the creation of a cultural city, the development of a cultural province, and the promotion of the three civilizations.
