To be realistic and faithful to art, the book strictly analyzes famous seal works, focusing on ancient seals, historically acclaimed works, and creations left by deceased artists. This approach avoids the compromises of making favorable comments on certain high-ranking or influential seal carvers whose works are not particularly outstanding. Wu Jun's efforts in this regard are truly commendable!
