Features: The discovery and understanding of ancient seal matrices and sealing clay were both late and superficial. It was not until more than one hundred years ago that they fully entered the artistic vision of modern and contemporary seal carvers. Before that, people had overlooked the aesthetic value of their seal art. This book is part of the "Series of Classic Seal Carving Techniques from Different Dynasties," and from the perspective of contemporary seal carving art, it examines the aesthetic value of ancient seal matrices and sealing clay. It provides a creative analysis of their representative works, interpreting their expressive techniques and perceiving their cutting methods. It is believed that this book will serve as a practical and useful reference for readers in their study of seal carving.
