My understanding of "Yuan Zhuwen"
□ Liu Jian
I sorted out some of my own learning experiences and ideas to form the following text.
I have probably gone through such a process since I studied the Gongwen Seal: 1. Xu Sangeng, Zhao Zhiqian, Deng Shiru, wu Rangzhi; 2. Wang Fu'an, Zhao Shuru, Chen Julai, Wu Putang, Fang Jiekan, Han Deng'an, Dun Lifu, Ju Zhiru, Xu Yunshu, Mao Darong, Li Xiarong, and contemporary families; 3. Zhao Zhichen, Ding Jing, Wang Bingtie, Huang Shiling, Huang Yi, etc. to the Qing dynasty; 4. Integrate the families, and trace back from the late Ming Dynasty to observe the Song and Yuan dynasties. The above list of many ancient and modern Indians, not in the order of birth, this is my learning process, although not all, probably so.

In this process, as far as Yuan Zhuwen is concerned, there is one person who makes me grumpy, and he is Chen Julai. Since I first saw Chen's seal, I was fascinated that there was such a beautiful seal in the world. I think the printing word "amazing" is more accurate, for the time. However, I did not copy it deeply, and to this day, I am secretly glad.

Back to the main topic, what is Yuan Zhuwen? What is Yuan Zhuwen? The common explanation is: Yuan Zhu Wen, with an elegant and fluent small seal seal, the line is like a jade fence, round and strong, quaint and elegant, also known as the yuan Zhu wen. Yuan Zhuwen is printed with a simple seal book, which is not as clear as the genre seal formed by the Qing people with a very personal seal book. Therefore, Yuan Zhuwen is subtle and introverted. Since Zhao and Wu, generations have passed on this Tao, Wen Peng, Zhu Jian, Wang Guan, Lin Gao, Ding Jing, Zhao Zhichen, Zhao Zhiqian, Zhao Shuru, Wang Fu'an, all of whom have produced fine works of Yuan ZhuWen and gradually showed their personalities. Until Chen Julai, Bo Cai's predecessors, about his own face, Wei Ran everyone, Zhao Shuru commented that Chen Shi "Yuan Zhuwen is the first in modern times", not stingy and overflowing, it seems to have reached the peak. After that, the families had Yuan Zhu Wenyin in between, but it was difficult to resist the Chen clan.

It seems that as far as Yuan Zhuwen is concerned, under the big tree of the Chen family, there is no grass at all? When we are a little more rational, it is not difficult to see the logic. Chen Julai carved Yuan Zhu Wen, extremely fine, extremely skilled, extremely refined, indeed a first-class printer. However, Yuan Zhuwen was not equal to Chen Julai. When The Yuan Zhuwen was formed, it was introverted and implicit. By the time Chen Ju came, he was already naked like a beautiful woman, seemingly flawless. Ancient wisdom is not like this, until death to keep the meaning of simplicity. Because the art of the past generations, when the extreme work is extremely beautiful, what follows is luxury and death. As an artist, I have to be alert.

When people like Chen Julai, when I talk to my surrounding Indian friends about Chen and a contemporary Indian family, I often compare it with a "beautiful snake", but I can be greedy for a while, drowning for a long time, hurting my body, so that I don't have any hair. However, we all have the right and freedom to choose what we like, not to mention the price of many.
I am for me, when there I am. I don't want to borrow the high name to get tired, I want to show people with me, and the wise know it.

□ Feng Jianxing
Indian scholar, mind science also. Although the skill is mustard, the law is thousands. Those who seek the Dharma with their skills are also the greatness of the Tao; those who seek the Techniques with the Dharma are also the subtleties of the Tao. It was the Qin and Han Dynasties that descended, and the golden stone was sought; after the Ming and Qing dynasties, the sword and pen were used for a career. Its cultivated spirit, changing temperament, upper and lower transformation, lower proof of learning, luck and vitality, carved crane and dragon, the grandeur of the extreme wind and clouds, the wonderland of opening up the heavens and the earth, is also the great one of the Tao.

Brother Yu Tian Zhai asked with a knife, crossing the ancient and modern times, going back and forth, taking the Qin and Han dynasties as the heart pulse, the Ming and Qing dynasties as flesh and blood, the Republic of China as the soul, and taking the strengths of today's seal carving families. The Zhu Wen it produced is noble and pure, noble and gentle, noble and energetic, and noble and handsome. The so-called Yue female sword dance posture, the state of the immortal roaring tree, the realm of the Bright Moon in Yaotai, the change of smoke and rain in the West Lake, all of them are clear and more true, true and more relaxed. The white text it produced is still dignified, still imaginative, still bold, and still bold. The so-called beauty of the weiyang lights, the implications of the characters of the Six Dynasties, the turbulence of the wind and rain on Zhongshan Mountain, and the magnificence of the snow waves of the Yangtze River are all majestic and more powerful, and the work is getting stronger. Perfection is perfect, true and illusory, deep and beautiful, the germination of grass and trees, and the person who seeks between the two is the dharma of the ancients and the spirit of the self. It is the ancient law that cares about the self-cherishing, and my law cares about the chest of the ancients. I have the ancient law, the ancient law has my law, when it is the self-made ancient law, and the ancient is the new law.
Brother Tian Zhaijiu sought the Tao of Seal with the study of printing, not only as a small skill of carving insects, but also as a proof of his ordinary life. Scholar, the path of the way also. His wish to travel alone, to swim in the reclining of the stream and the mountains? In the golden stone of the proof? In this way, I should see my brother's great knowledge of printing, and the sincerity of his heart. The work of a hundred years, for the ancients to pass on a lamp of long-cherished wishes, the heavenly wind does not move, the heart does not move, in order to seal the heart, not virtuous or holy.

Nowadays, the seal carving only works the sword and stone, and I don't know that the seal carving should be a seal science, a philology, a golden stone science, in short, a heart study. Those who seek from the outside, the law of integration; those who seek from the inside, the source of the mind. Yu thought that the seal of Brother Tian Zhai was engraved in the heart source, and outside the sword and pen. It is the big one, the one who is the bo, the one who is the refiner, and the one who is deep. It is the means of Tian Zhai, when the blade is in the qi also, portrayed in the rhyme, and rejuvenated in the spirit. To compete with the ancients for a place is the aspiration of his life.
Brother Tian Zhai leaned over to see the wonderful person of his spirit. Purify the mysteries and raise taihe for a long time. Seal the heart, bear the seal with the heart.
What is important to it is the cause of the golden stone, and the knowledge of a lifetime of seal carving, but it is all pinned on this square inch. Here we can see that the recovery of the blade, the ripples of wind. Or for spring, or for autumn. The golden stone has a sound, and the grass and trees are carefree. With Hiromitsu, travel with creation!
