New Things Are Printed in Simplified Chinese, which have not been seen in ancient times.
In the 1970s, there was a rise for a time when simplified characters were used in print. The specific initiator is also not available, some say that it is a famous gold stone seal carving, collection and publication, in fact, many Indians have carved simplified character prints in different periods. Whoever it is, it's not like the first person to eat crab, who is not only bold, but also a smart person. It's a new thing.
This kind of printing, one of the characteristics: simplified Chinese characters. The printed characters are all simplified Chinese characters that are currently in use, and the fonts are written in italics, Weibei, Xingshu, Lishu, etc., and do not use ancient scripts such as seal books and golden scripts.
The second feature is that the old bottle is a new wine. Retrospectively, the traditional seal engraving mode is still adopted, such as the manchu white of the Han seal, the division of the Qin seal, the Yuan Zhu wen, the Han inscription and so on.
To say that the most significant feature, of course, is that the Indian text is clear at a glance, clear and clear, can be understood without adding notes, and the content is also in line with the times, and there is rarely a tone of wind, flowers, snow and moon.
There are mixed reviews of this form of seal engraving. Some people say that art is to serve life, it must be easy to understand, and the old lady next door can also point out one or two, so as to be close to life.
And some people say that art comes from life, it must be higher than life, otherwise it will degenerate into a great custom, can not be called art, and there is no art to speak of.
And: If art is incomprehensible to the people, is it still art?!
Also: art itself is the plaything of a few people, or the creation of the elite, which is not a peak that everyone can reach.
In any case, in short, this seal style has not been circulated, but has only become a product of an era.
However, a fact that cannot be ignored is that it is precisely because of the participation of various artists at that time that many works of art have indeed been created that can be circulated. Don't forget, at that time, even the little people's books were personally written and drawn by famous calligraphers and painters, and now those works are already the treasures of everyone.
Such a new seal engraving, simplified character printing, was published at that time, and the famous ones were "Revolutionary Model Drama Words and Phrases", "Batch Forest Batch Hole" and other "New Seal Notation", and the branding was clear.
There is also the fact that there are many artists who became famous later, who were mingling with the masses at that time, or were themselves one of them, so the level of creation was not low.
For example, there are several seals in this one, and it is still a style of Qin, Han, Song and Tang, which is very impressive.
As for which person is the one who did it, there is no need to ask the truth. Mr. Qian said that after eating eggs, don't look for any old hens to lay down. Delicious on the line.
Look at the momentum, do the pie, not like the average mortal hand.
The book is in print
Is this a classic that guides the direction of art?! In fact, the contemporary "simplified characters" into printing, including the form of calligraphy and lishu, were not the first to be created in the 1970s, but have existed in ancient times, especially the (Tang) Song and Yuan Huapai Seals. These are classics.

It has the fun of the mountains and the atmosphere of the temple.
