The Origin and Appreciation of Seal Script
篆书的起源与欣赏
Seal script, as one of the oldest forms of Chinese writing, carries a long history and is an important symbol of ancient Chinese civilization. Seal script calligraphy, being one of the five major styles of Chinese calligraphy along with regular script, running script, cursive script, and clerical script, collectively contributes to the unique charm of Chinese character calligraphy. For thousands of years, classic works in seal script have been widely passed down and continue to be studied and appreciated by many calligraphy enthusiasts today.
篆字,作为中国最古老的文字之一,承载着悠久的历史,是中国 古代文明的重要象征。篆书书法作为中国书法的五大主要书体之 一,与楷书、行书、草书、隶书共同构成了中国汉字书法艺术的独特魅力。数千年来,篆书经典作品被广泛传承,至今仍受到广 大书法爱好者的学习和欣赏。
“There are many features of this painting of my name that I love; the fact that it is written in the ancient calligraphy seal script, the use of opaque and translucent colors as well as contrast. The liquid blue color to symbolize my name which contains the character for ocean. But the feature I love the most is the sense of motion and movement especially accentuated by the splash marks radiating outwards. When I see the painting, it gives me a sense of peace and serenity while adding a sense of excitement due to the underlying hint of adventure and movement. I feel that it captures my character and personality well; I’m calm and introverted but love travel and adventure.”
