Xi Gang seal carving, inheriting the side of Ding Jing Pu Mao Gu Xiu, the dense place is transparent, and the mixture is scattered. Therefore, later generations commented that "Xi Tiesheng won with light elegance". His knowledge and understanding of the Han seal is pioneering, and he read out the mystery of the Han seal: "In the modern world, the seal is often Qin and Han, but he does not know the Qin and Han seals, which are simple and strict, and specially use strong bending to convey the gods." Nowadays, the customary workers tend to be corrupt and charming, thinking that it is antique, ridiculous! ("Wang's Book Seal") "printed to the Song and Yuan dynasties." Increasingly delicate, the wind is falling. The Han seal is all simple and charming, and the spirit is harmonious, and people today really cannot learn it. ("Tiexiang Qiu Xue Minyin" section), he opposes "corruption", advocating "simple beauty", a word difference, aesthetic taste and artistic level are very different. This is the result of Ding Jing's successor's gradual understanding of the aesthetic characteristics of the Qin and Han seals and the accumulation of creation.

Xi Gang has several specific hints on the proposition of "printing with books", which is very creative. He stressed that in order to obtain the Charm of the Chinese Seal, it is necessary to refer to the Fa. "It is advisable to write a pen towards harmony and circle, and the gods exist and be square, and they should be referred to with monuments such as "Li Qi" and "Zhang Qian."" ("Golden Stone Fetish" print) "Refer to the "Zen" (Receiving Zen) subordinate law, shu ji is not different from the ancient popularity machine. What is even more valuable is that he broadened his vision to the calligraphy outside the seal: "Printing mud, painting sand, Lu Gong calligraphy also." Tie Sheng was used to carve stones and wash the song and Yuan dynasty light and charming weather. ("Hundred Blunt People" Printing) From some small circle Zhu Wenyin, it can also be seen that Xi Gang has a very personality for the innovative practice of small seals into the seal. These are very beneficial for a comprehensive understanding of the creative concept of Xi Gang and even the Zhejiang school.

Xi Gang attributed the characteristics of the formal beauty of the Zhejiang school seal carving to the creation of gold stone qi and book volume qi: "The engraving and printing together, in modern times, only Mr. Ding Zhang's blunt Ding is unique, and its ancient strength and beauty, although the text and why can not reach it, Mr. Gai is good at sealing and benefiting from books, so his works are in harmony with the ancients." This statement is very similar to Jiang Ren's words in the "Qinsi Supplement" printing. As a genre, xiling zhuzi not only has common stylistic characteristics in creation, but also interacts with each other in terms of printing ideas.
