In "One Hundred Years of Sails", the 18 square seal engraving works integrate the art of gold and stone into thousands of inches, adding a strong personality color and aesthetic value to the book. The perfect combination of seal engraving art and party history theme books should be a positive attempt and innovation in theme publishing.
"Party building leads the way forward" seal.
The person in charge of the writing team of "One Hundred Years of Sails" said that the use of seal engraving works in the book was an accidental move, because in the process of writing, such as "the implementation of the eight-character policy", "land reform" and "rectification of financial order" these important chapters, it is difficult to find suitable historical photos with pictures, helpless, try to use the seal as the main design element to supplement. Subsequently, it was found that the simple and atmospheric art of seal engraving complemented the theme and historical story of the book, and the performance effect of icing on the cake was added, so it was decided to further expand the integration and presentation of seal engraving works in the book. The rich display of seal engraving works in the book is an organic combination of accident and inevitability, because the readers of "One Hundred Years of Sail" are wide, the age gap is large, and there are many times, which not only takes into account the diversity of the reader group, but also requires diversity and innovation in the form of presentation, so in addition to animation, VR, online language and other forms, "Hundred Years of Sail" will deeply integrate the art of seal carving with the theme of the book, highlight the profound aesthetic value and appreciation value, and realize the protection and inheritance function of intangible cultural heritage. He proudly recorded the glorious practice of the century-old party history in Guangdong.
Li Rong, a former researcher at the Party History Research Office of the CPC Central Committee, commented that "A Hundred Years of Sailing" is a very distinctive and innovative work. The history of the party in the past century, connected with 101 stories in the book, unfolds according to the historical logic of the new democratic revolution, socialist revolution and construction, reform and opening up, and socialist modernization construction of the Communist Party of China, and selects the highlights and touching stories of each period to show, both in words and photos, as well as wonderful online language and exquisite seal engraving works, which are really dazzling, and the interest in reading books is spontaneous.
"This batch of seals in the book 'One Hundred Years of Sails' is so beautiful that it looks pleasing to the eye." Many readers have left messages after reading "One Hundred Years of Sail" to express their high appreciation for the seal engraving design in the book.
Hong Sihai, president of the Muxin Printing Society and non-hereditary inheritor of the seal engraving project, said that the golden stone seal carving is an ancient skill in China's traditional culture, which originated from the oracle bone, and has been inherited by successive generations of calligraphy and seal engravers, and has a history of more than 3,000 years. He said: After receiving the task of engraving seals, the members of the organization devoted themselves to the work of designing seals with enthusiasm, and through constantly reading through the manuscript of "Raising sails in a hundred years," they profoundly realized that under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Guangdong party organization has always walked in the forefront of the times, charged ahead, bravely competed for the lead, and written a magnificent poem that can be sung and wept for the practice of Guangdong in the history of the party in the past hundred years. These insights have brought rich design inspiration to the creation of seal engraving art. In the Pastoral Heart Printing Society, a number of seal engravers collectively discussed, conceived, sealed, reconceived, and re-sealed, and finally designed and carved these 18 seals after several drafts. Hong Sihai believes that the use of seal design in "One Hundred Years of Sail" provides a useful attempt to integrate the art of theme publishing and seal engraving.
When talking about the creative process and design concept, Gu Yuwei, director of the Muxin Printing Society and a member of the Guangdong Calligraphers Association, said that the "Southern Conversation" makes a lot of use of arcs to make it more vital and show a sense of prosperity.

Song Ming, director of the Muxin Printing Society and a member of the China Hard Pen Calligraphers Association, has repeatedly deliberated on each seal engraving work, which has been drafted several times, and each work highlights the texture of the lines, the harmony of the chapters, and the visual impact. Lin Wenwen, a director of the Muxin Printing Society, carved a knife in his hand, and portrayed the spiritual pride of the Chinese Communists through the art form of seal carving under the light, in front of the printing stone, and in the sweat. Xu Junhao, a member of the Muxin Printing Society and a member of the Guangdong Calligraphers Association, introduced that "jiang uprising", "guangdong comprehensively implemented land reform", and "Chairman Mao inspected Tangxia". These three works are all printed with small seals, shaped by the style of iron wire seals, and the visual effects are mainly expressed by elegant tranquility and solemn beauty. Among them, the three-party seal maintains a unified feature, that is, the border is slightly thicker than the line, so as to form a contrast between thickness and thinness, making the visual effect of the main body of the content more prominent, and showing its lines more solemn and exquisite.

It can be said that "A Hundred Years of Sailing" provides a concise, vivid, and systematic textbook for the majority of party members and cadres and young people to study and understand the local party history of Guangdong in the past century. This is for inheriting the party's fine traditions, continuing the red bloodline, drawing on the strength to move forward, and playing an important role in educating people. Through the integration and innovation of seal engraving art, it provides new ideas and explorations for party history theme books "flying into the homes of ordinary people".
