In ancient times, the private printing of copper was mostly made of copper. More than 2,000 years ago, there were different corrosions such as green paint cobalt, red paint cobalt, mercury cobalt and black paint cobalt. Will it be more because of the different unearthed areas? A puddle? 、? Dry pit? 、? Shengkeng? Wait, the rust color is different, too. These rust colors are formed by the chemical changes of copper itself, which are integrated with the seal and are not easy to fall off and scrape off. Forged rust color is mostly painted on the surface of the seal with pigment, which is easy to be scraped off and the fire will also produce a chemical smell.

We can also identify the authenticity of the seal from the artistic attainments and calligraphy skills of the Ming and Qing schools. In addition, the Ming and Qing dynasties seal button knife method is fine, polished and carved neatly, simple and elegant, mostly from the hands of professional button carving masters.
Collecting such seals, the better the material, the more precious it is. For example, if it is Tian Huang, the material itself is very expensive. Second, look at the owner of the seal. The higher the owner's status, the more valuable the seal is.
From the auction market, the official seal in copper seal is the most sought after by the market, like? The imprint of a thousand families? , engraved on the back? The imprint of a thousand families? , carved by the other party? Produced by the Chinese Book Department, Taiping February? It was cast by Xu Shouhui, a peasant uprising army at the end of Yuan Dynasty. Another gold-plated bronze seal of a captain in Wei and Jin Dynasties was valued at 500,000-800,000 yuan, and the transaction price reached1190,400 yuan. A captain in the car is an official name, which was abandoned in the Song Dynasty after the establishment of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. This bronze seal is undoubtedly a record of history at that time.

Recently, fake jade seals have gradually flooded the domestic market. Because the ancient jade seal is expensive, counterfeiters are particularly clever. These ancient jade seals are of good quality and standard shape, but the lettering can't reach the artistic conception of the Han people.

At the same time, there are a lot of Xi's incense in the domestic market? Where is Qin? . Because the country is short, and Qin's seal mud is muddy, most of them are seal mud printed by Qin officials, so it is not easy to preserve it today. Therefore, the vast majority of markets? Where is Qin? This is fake. When you see Qin sealing mud, you must carefully observe mud, handwriting, official position, sealing method and so on. Lots of fakes? Where is Qin? They are all made by imitating the unearthed samples of Qin pipa. Although the official position and form are basically similar, but in such as? Hey? However, there are many words like Chinese characters.
Ming and Qing dynasty proofreading: The collection of Ming and Qing dynasty proofreading is also a hot spot, so we must master some knowledge of Ming and Qing dynasty proofreading. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, seal cutting entered the modern era, and there was a clear relationship between the seal cutting masters of various factions, with the emphasis on knife work. Steady, accurate and ruthless? , the style is obvious. According to legend, there are thirteen methods and seventeen methods for using a knife, and the edge-knot technique also comes into being with the method. In the Ming dynasty, many knives were used for engraving, and some postscript was added to the name of stamps. After the reign of emperor Qianlong of Qing dynasty, it was carved with a single knife.

To appreciate the seal of seal cutting, first look at the image of seal structure. Positive, elegant, changeable and pure? . As the ancestor of the Han dynasty, elegance is bookish, but Zhu Wen has books, and the pure seal is not mixed. Zhu Wen is smart and round. Pale and smooth, calm and even. Give it at will, rather than paint it neatly, such as a painter's stippling. The beauty of operation lies in natural interest. Abundance and ups and downs, the beauty of the body is superb. No imitation, no affectation. Achieve vivid charm, wonderful workmanship.
Second, look at the rules of layout, the ancients said that composition is to write layout. The method of one word is the method of one chapter. Word, number Zhu Wen. The size of a seal. The density of words is tricky The second phase is mutual seeking and coherent. In a word, you are full of expectations for life. Positive pitch, left and right back. The upper one inclines downwards and the lower one inclines upwards. Feelings are affectionate. Power and appearance, power and potential, fear and strength, appearance and image, beauty and loveliness. Strong is vigorous, not crazy, handsome is elegant, not graceful. Zhu Wenxu is not attached to the sidebar, and the white text is still red. The cross is long and narrow and the seal script is flexible. Calligraphy and painting are hidden, curved and reflected. This is from the arrangement and arrangement of seals. I appreciate the methods of seals, such as clear water producing hibiscus, which I can never get tired of.
Third, look at the brushwork of seal script with a knife. Seal script is naturally not artificial. The words are oblique and straight, even wrinkled. Circle is connected with missing, missing and folding. The shape of nature, the pen has its source. Dense and balanced dots are drawn into words. When you move with a pen, the mover floats and flies, and the quiet one is quiet. There is indeed a reason, but odd numbers happen to be clumsy. Strange but not strange, just but not vulgar. Clever to hide others, clumsy to succeed. Yue Feng is fat and thin, but anticipates committing crimes, painting less, overlapping is intentional, and less is intentional. Fat must have bones, thin must have meat. Boneless meat is vain and unhealthy, and boneless bones are dry and moist. No contradiction, the book itself is potential, and vice versa. Zhu Wen is round, and Bai Wen is multifaceted. This is seal cutting with a pen and a knife to reflect the beauty of lines. Seal cutting must be knowledgeable, familiar with six books, and magical in knife cutting.
The ancients awarded the seal for six years. Seeking beauty in long and thick brine; Seek strength in two long sketches; Fill in the blanks and ask for money; Four strengths are weak, seeking boldness of vision: five strengths are eccentric, seeking truth, and six strengths are vigorous, seeking moisture? .
What's the tri-print? ? Vigorous and vivid, out of nature, it is called a divine product; Exquisite brushwork, from ancient times to the present, is a wonderful work; According to the ancient system, without jumping the rules, it is called product. ? This is a quotation from the ancients' appreciation comments on seal cutting.
