Han Tianheng's General Counsel "Seal Carving"

Fukuzawa Oriental Han Tianheng Book

Editor's Note

Knowing the mysteries of the golden stone, the meaning of calligraphy is interesting.

Seal engraving, of course, is a unique language, a magical art. Originated in the pre-Qin Dynasty, flourished in the Han Dynasty; revived the Ming and Qing dynasties, and has been passed down to this day.

For more than 3,700 years, it has condensed the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the human world, integrating personal sentiment and infinite interest, and taking flexible lines into square inches.

The seal is like the heart, not stained with lead; the seal carving masters, each leading the way. There are liberal arts and multi-experts, who follow the ancient laws and regulations; they also have different ideas, and they are skillfully created according to the literary thinking, so the style and genre inheritance are derived and do not fade.

One seal, one button, one spring and autumn. In 2022, the 7th Cross-Strait Young and Middle-Aged Seal Engraving Competition of "Fuze Oriental" arrived as scheduled, which is undoubtedly another grand event of cross-strait seal engraving art.

Now launched the "Seal Engraving Theory" series, with the theme of printing materials, printing people, printing science, and printing history, inviting the judges to talk about the past and the present, the classics of the topic, and the elegance of the story, in order to achieve aesthetic pleasure and national art inheritance. The first issue launched general counsel Han Tianheng's "Seal Engraving in the Seal" and "Printing Outside" for the benefit of readers.

Painting has sketches, but calligraphy seal engraving cannot be sketched. Our ancestors created this art for us, and there is almost no second way to get started except to copy and learn.

Some big artists also have the ability to change the super span of "leak marks in the house", "folding stocks", and "everything into the book and into the print" after having a fairly deep accumulation and understanding, beginners can only "seek printing within the seal", and the Qin and Han, Sui, Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties of the Yinzong Sect are printed, and it is not okay not to eat this milk in infancy.

Ding Jing, the founder of the Zhejiang school, said that the Zhou, Qin, Lianghan, Wei and Jin, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties all had their own characteristics, and they ate all the nutrition in India.

Deng Shiru began the concept of "seeking a seal outside the seal", with a seal book into the seal, his seal has a rise and fall, and his seal is not all from the seal, but from the inscription.

Precious person gall (with side paragraph) Han Tianheng seal

Zhao Zhiqian's cleverness lies in the fact that his era has unearthed a lot of ancient and new words that have not been seen before, he is a very keen and skillful person, good at using newly excavated materials directly into the engraving, so more than five hundred years of Ming and Qing seal carving history, like Zhao Zhiqian such a changeable King Kong is such a one.

A real great seal engraver definitely has his own set of original new ideas, and not seeing the writings and not speaking out does not mean that he does not have them, which is something that we who study the history of seal engraving must be keenly aware and pay attention to.

After that, Wu Changshuo experienced some of the beauty of the tiles from the unearthed sealing mud, and the mottled mysterious sealing mud print was not flat, but undulating, rich in light and heavy rhythm.

The lines are also not smooth and smooth. Instead, it has a relief-like texture, and Wu Changshuo feels this, and his clever printing skills are unprecedented. The ancients also made seals, which were to put the engraved seals in a small box and instruct the book boy to shake them, so as to achieve the purpose of making the old.

And Wu Changshuo is rational, with a high artistic connotation to do the printing, and the printing surface effect of the seal bell has a relief-like texture on the flat paper.

Tiger Bu (with side paragraph) Han Tianheng seal

Those who are engaged in seal engraving must first study well in India, and then go to India to have a good understanding in the future, which is a dialectical relationship between India and India. The road has not been completed by the predecessors, but it is up to you to find out.

When I was young, I was a person who liked to think wildly, and when I was 19 years old, when I came to Wenzhou in the navy, I found that I was shallow in the water from the process of swinging the boatman, so I had to go deeper than shallow in the seal carving.

In addition, really good long lines are composed of several curves, such as circles drawn with compasses, which is uninteresting. This is the same as the ups and downs in our calligraphy, and a good seal engraver must have a strong ability to adapt and strive to use the artistic imagination.

There is a close relationship in the engraving, I like to watch the Cuban women's volleyball team and the Chinese women's volleyball game in the eighties of the last century, the men's volleyball team only talks about the smash without looking at the head, the women's volleyball team two strong encounters, according to the ball road, there is a position shift and a big secret, and the unexpected rhythm of the change, this is not only to watch the ball, but to pay attention to the layout of the whole field instantaneous change, I think the layout of the engraving is of great benefit.

Not to live up to Zhaohua Han Tianheng seal

Although these words are classic, we should really understand the living, flavorful chapter layout and line swing from life.

For example, tug-of-war, the rope is placed on the ground without force, but when the tug-of-war occurs, both teams pull the rope, and the rope will face left and right, full of tension and resistance. This life-giving rope is equivalent to the best quality line in the seal carving.

Therefore, people who engage in seals should feel and discover from the subtle life, and after having a certain foundation, these will evolve into very important and unique things in art.
