The seal, originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, has a long history and is a unique cultural characteristic of China. In the past, the seal was a symbol of personal status and a beloved object of literati and literati.

Ancient seal

At the beginning of its application, the seal was a manifestation of rights and credibility. The official seal is a symbol of the government, while the private seal represents a person's credit certificate. As a social symbol, the significance of the seal is self-evident.

Previously, seals were mostly made of metal materials, with gold, silver, and copper as the main materials. Later, wooden and stone seals gradually emerged, and the title evolved from generation to generation, from the "seal" before the Qin Dynasty to the "seal" after the Qin Dynasty, the "treasure" of the Tang Dynasty, the "seal" of Han Wei, and the "record" of the Song Dynasty. These changes are often accompanied by changes in dynasties and changes in power.

In ancient times, seals were one of the favorite objects for literati and literati. A good seal was a very prestigious thing for a literati. When literati chose seals, they often used materials, carving techniques, and historical significance as their selection criteria. The use of good materials for seals is extremely high in terms of artistic value and collection value.

Modern seal

I think the most common impression people have of seals nowadays is the official seals in various institutions and departments. Upon careful consideration, seals seem to have been accompanying our growth. They need to be used in school, from elementary school to university, at work, and from entry to retirement. The impact of seals on our lives must be said to be too great.

Speaking of this official seal, I probably think of the little Pidun. Is there a strong Déjà vu, but is there a beautiful and elegant seal now? The answer is simple, yes! Nowadays, people still have a persistent attachment to seals, and even now, there are still very exquisite seals that are valuable!

How can a small seal withstand the evolution of this millennium without being eliminated? Instead, it has been used to this day. In addition to its artistic value, I believe it is the wisdom of our ancestors. It is a very practical yet elegant object. It is our cultural heritage, a witness to the changes of dynasties, and a constant waiting for our culture for thousands of years!
