In us this seal cutting learns course in, gu Xi imprints the platoon is in Chinese imprint after course, why Gu Xi imprints appear earlier than Qin Hanyin, study seal cutting imprints Gu Xi after be being put in Qin Hanyin, will learn, roughly the reason has the following:
1, the reason that grows itself as a result of Chinese character, sex of the word law that Gu Xi imprints, seal law is relatively complex and random law. Chinese character invents early admittedly, occupy Tang Lan " Chinese character learns " carry: "The happening of Chinese character, always be before Xia Zhi. At least 449 years ago, our character already very developed. " course summer, business the development of period of two long last a period of time, till period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, chinese character is remained primitive, systematization is not strong. Plus the reason that the society grows, literal education also is relatively backward, because of this character use only confine is in hand of small number of people. Arrived the Eastern Zhou Dynasty after BC makes the same score Wang Dong change 770 years, week royal family is decadent, zhou Wangchao is nominal the world only possessory, chinese culture enters a contention of a hundred schools of thought, talent to come forth in large numbers, the times with academic dynamic atmosphere. This paragraph of period is period of a paragraph of on Chinese history old division, in this period, although the character gets develop further and be abundanced, but however the reason that because of each vassal country eachs does things in his own way, make Chinese character more diversity, arrived 475 years the the Three Kingdoms divides BC advance (end actually at BC 453 years) after entering the Warring States, chinese character more the 5 characters system with bright characteristic of cent melt into, namely the 3 advance that Mr Li Xueqin sums up 20 centuries the fifties (Han, Zhao, the Kingdom of Wei, add Zhou Hewei) , 5 departments of the Qin Dynasty, swallow, neat, Hunan, character of this 5 departments forms 5 departments royal seal to imprint again of course, it is the 5 big branch that the battle great seal that we say now imprints.
What because the royal seal of 5 big branch imprints,go up without government order is unified, because this is belonged to basically,let a hundred flowers blossom the development of type, want to learn these 5 kinds of royal seal to imprint, should know character of 5 kinds of seal character first (and these 5 kinds of characters, it is the rule and systematization not strong, differ with glyph of contemporary and current character further character) , opposite for, to abecedarian of a seal cutting, the difficulty of study wants far the difficulty that is more than study Chinese seal and an ancient style of calligraphy.
2, because be the reason of 5 kinds of characters, formed different seal method to affect art of composition then furthermore again. These 5 kinds of characters, put in seal, imprint to suit face, satisfy practical requirement, fabricant undertook simplifying to its again, close article, numerous change, dissimilation (basically be positive and negative change, shift of side change, glyph) , absorb (exist again between each character system general the phenomenon that draw lessons from) , because this brings about the identifying of seal Chinese word,difficulty increases further, to the understanding of seal law difficulty also increases further, its are opposite as a result of word law, seal law the effect that art of composition produces is outstanding, even these affect what also affect knife way directly to apply.
3, keep apart relatively because of culture of each district of period of the Warring States, the district sex feature of culture is farther aggrandizement, the practical seal Yin Feng that formed respective area to differ again thereby, the area is different, of seal make type, appearance, bulk, zhu Bai each are not identical, to abecedarian, if ignore the difference of Qing Jiyin type, cannot the Yin Feng feature that systematization ground masters royal seal of the Warring States to imprint, in real copy creative work, also can be only " draw gourd ladle than calabash " the apery of type, the machine rate of problem of occurrence fault bluff soars, accordingly, the different culture that should study cent of period of the Warring States to belong to different area at the same time again the influence to seal style, this understands than simple ground two Chinese, the culture feature of the onefold dynasty such as Xin Mang wants god-given much. In a word, learn Qin Hanyin, those who learn is a kind of culture. And learn Gu Xi of the Warring States, need studies 5 kinds of culture (although there is the place that be interlinked between them) , difficulty should be gotten high relatively much.
In view of above reason, learn Gu Xi, below need attention this when:
1, from culture history proceed with, understand the culture with different each country of period of the Warring States. Period of the Warring States, the government order system of each country is different, plus the difference of each district folkway, formed different culture feature naturally, these culture feature nature reflect the seal in each country in. For instance the Qin Dynasty is seal is rigorous and neat, because people of ground of the Qin Dynasty lives for a long time in the system,be of opposite Yan Ke under politics of the Qin Dynasty; Hunan fastens strange cunning of seal criterion romance, flow beautiful much appearance, because Hunan land culture is,this is romance and contain rich mysterious colorific; Of course, the wide Bo Piao of neat department is solid, what swallow fastens is big close greatly, the choiceness of 3 advance is subtle be linked together cheek by jowl with local culture, should learn some series to imprint the seal of type, the culture that learn first and knows place (the literary work that studies the history and place) what dispute often is necessary also is very beneficial. For instance, why do Hunan department seal and seal of department of the Qin Dynasty have the place of a lot of likeness, the reason is these two countries long-term and allied, culture is affected each other.
2, character of familiar each country. Classmate Xi Hanyin is same, from either of study one party Chinese imprint the Chinese seal character that knows minority is only then, accumulate slowly, the some department character that adult of study of final accumulate over a long period fastens is very good study method (the character with commonly used seal is not much) , but more important is the study that passes pair of royal seal to imprint, systematization ground masters written language of period of the Warring States, some friends can say, I do not plan to become a character to learn the home again, write down so much too tired, actually, some word should be used in seal, from wordbook check arrives this word, write down it, arrive instead imprint in the process of the face, if be opposite this character understanding is not thorough, cannot undertake the adjustment on seal law to it, affect course of law of ability of law of the art of composition of later period, knife then. Royal seal of the Warring States imprints medium written language is same a word, often can have numerous brief, strokes position differs completely a variety of writing law, this a variety of those who write a law is different, often meet those who affect circumference of the density in art of composition to adjust. For instance, it is a horse likewise, imprint in royal seal of the Warring States in, it can be elliptic main glyph already, also can be the main glyph of hemicycle, also can be main glyph of the triangle, when art of composition needs to adjust, can undertake choosing, following graph neat great seal imprint in 5 " Sima Zhixi " in equestrian change; Again for instance, it is likewise " " the change of the word, also can be square already, also can be a circle, already can the platoon is folded, also need not discharge fold, when be handled in different seal, be familiar with the more to these characters, the opportunity with successful work is greater. The method has of course, namely " character of the Warring States is made up " , " Gu Xi article is made up " such books is put in desktop, the head of a bed, turn over check constantly, accumulate over a long period, when be like classmate Chinese to imprint " a note of the ancient Chinese five-tone scale of Han Yinwen word " , " Chinese imprint minute of charm " , " Miao seal separates musical sound " such book is put at hand same.
3, familiar each country imprints differently type. Like imprinting as learning Qinhan, crossed group division of Qin Yin imprints type, chinese what the text of an annotated book imprints is equational imprint the face imprints type, full Bai Yinyin type, Chinese characters on a seal carved in relief imprints imprint type is waited a moment, before creation, already had in the heart imprint type invents way, successful opportunity is great. The creative work that royal seal of the Warring States imprints is same also of course, neat department, swallow department, advance department, Hunan department and even Qin Jiyin type each are not identical, have its special type each again, know fairly well wants before creation.
4, last, namely only essence of life one type, a large number of copy. Because royal seal of the Warring States imprints,imprint type is numerous, each country is other royal seal imprints in have each again imprint differently type, so, choice among them some kind or some a few kinds oneself like imprint type only the method that energy development studies to study is get twice the result with half the effort.
Because ceaselessly the friend urges,write Gu Xi kind article, actually this one is answer of these friends, han Yinshang learning the Qin Dynasty is ripe without essence of life arrive when ripe to literal essence of life degree, had better not contact ancient royal seal of the Warring States first, because the Warring States is ancient the written language that royal seal imprints is more complex, the system is huger, do not have the rule more but character, study difficulty is greater also of course. Of course, its are strange cunning of four of appearance of childlike, freely, romance, empty the character of the respect such as clever choiceness also is mainstream Chinese imprint what lack. Of course, different goal, imprint to Gu Xi can use different study method, here discussed apart no longer.
