Welcome to Liuyuezhai. I am Wu Yu, the owner of Liuyuezhai. Please give me your advice.
The art of seal cutting has a long history. Stamp have been used as early as the Shang, Zhou and Pre-Qin periods. The Qin and Han Dynasties were the first peak of the development of seal cutting, which laid the foundation for the Qin and Han Dynasties of Yin Zong. The Ming and Qing Dynasties can be said to be the heyday of seal cutting, with outstanding seal makers emerging in large numbers, making the art of seal cutting more proficient. Nowadays, the art of seal cutting is flourishing, each competing for excellence, and the seal cutting world is unprecedentedly prosperous. The master of the restaurant was fortunate to be born in this era, and was guided and supported by many teachers and seniors. He also had colleagues from all walks of life to follow him, so he was never alone.
Seal cutting not only has a practical aspect, but also has collection value. Whether it is a personal name stamp or a seal used for signing calligraphy and painting works, such as the first chapter, the waist seal, etc., all need to be completed by seal cutting. A good leisure chapter can be passed down to future generations and become a precious legacy.
This studio is named Liuyue, as there is an apartment for watching the moon, so it is called Liuyue. Whose family is in a boat tonight, where can I miss the moonlight tower? People in the past looked at the moon and felt emotional, but people today resonate with it. The master of the temple often performs seals in the middle of the night, and it is also elegant to have the moon as a companion.
The owner of the restaurant is obsessed with the culture of seal cutting, and he enjoys endless fun in the small square inches. Whether it is the unrestrained and freehand ancient gilt seal of the pre-Qin Dynasty, or the simple and rounded style of the Qin and Han Dynasties, both are favored by the owner. Each stamp is designed and executed by the owner himself, and is by no means imitated by a machine. Even the same seal carver cannot carve the same exact seal again, so each seal is unique.
If you don’t give up, please support the people in Diyin.
