It seems to be plain, but it is clever in clumsiness, and it is strange in peace, fully understanding the contradiction law between flat oblique curvature and straightness, thickness and fineness, seeing danger in peace, seeing strangeness in peace, not sticking to the imitation of the surface form, but returning to the original face, directly catching up with the ancient seal and the beautiful posture, which is an important feature of Huang Mufu's artistic expression of seal carving. The printing surface strives to be complete and refined, which is a clear sign that Huang Mufu strengthens the printing style of Wu Rangzhi and Zhao Zhiqian. Huang Mufu was clumsy and returned to simplicity, and with an extremely peaceful and idyllic demeanor, in a cry for change, he did not blindly follow or act rashly, and finally made the printing altar vibrate with his extraordinary artistic achievements.
