Chen Qiutang's seal has not been passed down for generations, and the circular strokes of this Fangyuan Zhu Wenzhai seal can be classified as one of the highest achievements of Chen's seal carving. Chen Yuzhong's seal books came from Li Yangbing's way, so this kind of Yuan Zhuwen seal was handy for him, and it was often neat and beautiful, much higher than his peers, which was also a confirmation of the theory of "printing from the book".
Qiutang Yuan Zhu Wenyin has a new development in terms of elegant implications, which has a great influence on the later generations of Yuan Zhu Wenyin, such as Zhao Zhichen, a great master of the Zhejiang Sect, and even Wang Fuchang in the modern world, who were deeply influenced by Chen Qiutang in xiuya yanli's printing style.
Portrait of the Indians: Chen Yuzhong
Chen Yuzhong (1762-1806), zi junyi, the number qiutang, the lord of the ink edge, the number of the zhai number qiu is zhai. He is the author of "Qiushi ZhaiYin Spectrum", "Ming Painting Surname Rhymes", "Qiushi Zhai Collection" and so on. Chen Yuzhong was born in a family of Scholars in Qiantang, and learned to read poetry books since childhood, and wrote seal carvings in his spare time, and his weak crown came to the fore. He is fond of Jinshi calligraphy and painting, and makes friends with Chen Hongshou and seeks advice from Xi Tiesheng. Sexual introverted, like to drink, idyllic and self-sufficient, with apprentice calligraphy and painting seal carving self-sufficiency. Treat people sincerely, happy to fold people, so that the temperament, binge drinking and scolding seat is close to Xi Gang, so the two are the most consistent. He also tried to send Huang Yi with the gold stone he obtained and asked him for advice.
In the seventh year of Jiaqing, Ruan Yuan served as the inspector of Zhejiang, composing temple musical instruments, recasting the bell, carving the fine seal with Chen Yu bell, and ordering him to imitate the ancient text to take his name. Completed, Ruan Yuan sighed, and the Chen clan did not go. Shi Chen Yuzhong was in his prime, the highest peak of his life's artistic creation. Four years later, in the eleventh year of Jiaqing, Chen Yuzhong died in the forty-fifth year. After his death, he was buried by Chen Hongshou and other camps, and his wife and son lived in difficulty, thanks to the help of their former disciples. Chen Yuzhong's spirit was emaciated in calligraphy and painting seal engraving all his life, he worked hard and diligently, and his physical condition was quite poor, which can be described as "famous but not eternal".

Chen Yuzhong's seal engraving works were circulated in small numbers, and among the eight families, they were only higher than those of Jiang Ren and Xi Gang, and far less than the other five. Speaking of himself, Ding Jing, when he was a teenager, he got Mr. Ding Yanlin's seal, "The Purpose of Coupling the Wrist of the Beginning of Enlightenment", and he also got The Advice of Huang Yi, looking at the Han seals collected by various families, and playing with the casting and chiseling and carving method.
After the age of thirty, Rong Han printed all the way with the Zhejiang school of Ding Jing's cutting knife as a furnace, and entered the peak period of creation. The Zhejiang school from Ding Jinglu blue wisps, the first to open the atmosphere, Jiang, Huang, Xi strive to simplify, purify into the Indian font, this purification to Chen Yuzhong, Chen Hongshou has been basically completed.
The early imitation Han seals and Ming and Qing Dynasty works of Qiutang were mainly completed by punching, and gradually became mainly simple and bright long cuts, and the Zhejiang cutting knives at this time were not yet skilled. After the age of thirty, he created more broken knives and short cuts, gradually becoming stable and mature, but the ups and downs were more gentle. Or because of weakness, wrist strength is not strong, into the stone carvings are light and shallow, not easy to expand. Later generations once sighed that "Mr. Qiutang's printing is very difficult to print, printing more than ten pieces of paper without enough to take, the mud is thin and the printing surface is too thin, there is no way to start." ”
Chen Yuzhong carved the side of the work "Article has God's Handover"
From Wen Peng Chong knife double knife carving to He Zhen single knife cutting knife carving, and then to Ding Jing's unsubscribed edge model, the cutting knife carving to Chen Yuzhong has developed to a new height. On the basis of studying the knife methods of his predecessors, Chen Yuzhong explored a set of knife handling methods based on wrists. Chen Yuzhong was probably the first seal engraver to pay attention to the study of printing techniques since the Ming and Qing dynasties, and his side section was famous at that time, and was praised by Huang Yi and Xi Gang, two predecessors of the Zhejiang school, which was almost the highest evaluation in the seal engraving community at that time. Qiu Tang is also extremely confident in his own side creation, and those who ask for it to print it like its style, and often those who ask for a long journey want their style words "the more the merrier".
Chen Yuzhong is the starting figure of the "Last Four Families". The experience is similar to Xi Gang, who lived in Hangzhou for a long time in his life, almost never traveled far, and became the leading figure of Hangzhou seal carving after Xi Gang. Chen Yuzhong carefully cultivated his disciple Zhao Zhichen before his death, and cultivated a new force for the development and growth of the Zhejiang Sect. Zhao Zhichen's works are widely circulated and influential, which is enough to be called the greatest master of the Zhejiang school, and from the perspective of the inheritance and development process of the Zhejiang school, Chen Yuzhong's personal contribution is indispensable.
