That is to say, the previous year's matter, a Print friend said that his friend is going to get married, he wants to send a party to his friend, he has already thought of the Zhu Wen that the seal should be engraved with the four words of "Eternal Knot and One Heart", but how can not write a good printed manuscript, let me help, I thought this was an easy task, but really started, only to find that there are many problems in the middle: "Yong" and the square circle of the word "heart" are not easy to handle, and the reunion of the printing surface is not easy to handle (this kind of helplessness, only those who really design these four words will know) .........
So in desperation, I had to ask the famous masters to print the genealogy, and suddenly remembered that Mr. Fang Jiekan had carved a Zhu Wenyin of "Eternal Knot and One Heart", so he took it to study, as shown in the picture:
(Mr. Fang Jiekan and his Eternal Knot Concentric Seal)
I have long seen the seal of this square seal, at first glance I don't think there is anything exquisite, when I really designed these four words, I really sighed the seal of the famous artist, really powerful!
In this square seal, the curved strokes of "Yong" and "Heart" and the straight strokes of "Knot" and "Tong" echo diagonally, the "mouth" part of "Knot" and "Tong" echo diagonally, and the simplest word "heart" adds a small "block face" in the center of the word, emphasizing the meaning of "concentricity", and the "纟" part of the "knot" word is pushed upward into the gap in the lower part of the "Yong" word, which bites very closely, and the emphasis is also on the idea of combination...
The printing surface is almost everywhere carefully designed and cleverly conceived, seemingly simple, but in fact ingenious!
Du Fu said that "articles have been written through the ages, and gains and losses are known" ("Even Title"), in fact, no matter what kind of art form, artists in the process of creating this work of art, are painstaking and painstaking, those who have become famous and become famous, are really "famous and hanging", and the same is true for seal carving.
This article will introduce Qian Song's side seal engraving works, and the printed text is "heart-to-heart fit". The printed text of this square seal has a close textual meaning to the above-mentioned one, so we take it out and read it carefully to see where the seal engraving works of these famous artists are? As shown in the figure:
(Qian Song and his "heart-to-heart" seal)
The "Eight Families of Xiling" are representatives of the Zhejiang school, and they all have their own indian personalities, such as Ding Jinggao Gu Xuanya, Jiang Ren Shen Gu Alcohol, Huang Yi Jian Jin Xiuyi, Xi Gang Chong and Humble Quality, Chen Yu ZhongJuan Xiu Zhi, Chen Hongshou XiongMai Wanton, Zhao Zhichen skillful and capable, Qian Song is clumsy and ancient, but this does not mean that their style is single, such as Qian Song's Fang Seal, in addition to the clumsy Chun Gu, it also has more literati ingenuity.

I would like to say (because of the diversity of aesthetics, reading the seal has always been the word of the appreciator), the beauty of this seal lies in the artistic conception.
1. Repetition and inlay. Notice that the two "heart" characters of this square seal, the first one is exaggerated (this is the most amazing treatment of this square seal), processed into the height of the heavens and the earth, expressing a comfortable mood, and the two hearts use the hewen (heavy text) symbol "=", the expression of the mood is also exactly "two hearts" "fit" into "one heart" artistic conception, not to mention, the heavy text symbol is cleverly embedded in the empty space vacated by the first "heart", and its degree of fit also expresses the meaning of "heart and heart".
(Two Hearts Fit and Fall in Love)
If you carefully speculate, the word "heart" on the right side of this square seal stands tall and upright, but the bottom only has "one foot" standing on the bottom side, and its form is tilted to the left, and its symbolic meaning is not also the image of "pouring heart", and "pouring out" to each other is not the premise of "heart-to-heart fit".
Regarding the use of heavy text symbols, it should be noted that in the same square seal, the heavy text symbol should not appear many times (more than two times), and the same heavy text symbol should not be repeated to replace two or more words (or the same word should be reused with two heavy text symbols), so as to avoid the "craftsmanship" caused by excessive consumption, just like the "effort to add meals" that talk about its signs. Of course, this is not a "law", art is not mathematics, it has no precise "law".
(Talk about the efforts of the signs plus the excessive use of heavy text symbols)
In fact, the heavy text symbols in this square seal are used very cleverly, and there is a corresponding rhythm, but it is a bit "overdone".
2. The clever use of the pictographic meaning of the seal book. Seal book is the early form of Chinese characters, therefore, it retains a strong pictographic meaning in the shape, in the seal carving, this pictographic meaning is often excavated by seal carvers to be used, such as the "big" part of the "deed" character in this square seal is fully expanded and stretched, the pictographic meaning expressed is like an extended arm, like an open arms, which is the "heart-heart fit" once again emphasized; the "mouth" part of the "he" character is completely pictographic, like the "mouth" shape of the mouth that rises slightly, "heart-heart fit" Of course it is pleasant, and this large open "mouth" is precisely to express this pleasant emotion.
(Open arms and laughter)
Of course, the use of these artistic conceptions and pictographic elements revolves around the Indian theme of "heart-to-heart fit", like an article and a movement, all the details serve the theme of the article and the movement, which is the most important.
(Use of blankness and exaggeration)
In addition, putting aside all the above so-called "artistic" elements, this square is printed on the design of the chapter, the dense rhythm and echo are also worth mentioning, the space generated by the right heavy text symbol up and down, just echoes the left and right two blanks generated by the "big" character on the left, and the stacking of the upright "heart" line and the line stacking of the "deed" word three strokes also form a corresponding rhythm. At the same time, the printing surface has set aside a relatively exaggerated "he" character "mouth" part, which is an extremely prominent visual focus. This is where this square seal seems to be ingenuity, but in fact it is exquisitely structured and arranged exquisitely.
