QinYin Freehand Study

The discovery of Qin seals has developed rapidly in recent years,providing us with abundant first-hand information.Many scholars and seal cutting artists have devoted themselves to the research and creation of Qin seals.The proportion of academic articles and exhibitions about Qin seals is increasing year by year,which has become the major fields and main directions of seal cutting research.Since Wu Qiuyan and Zhao Meng Fu put forward the concept of "Imprinting the Qin and Han Dynasties" in Yuan Dynasty,it has a huge impact and has become a constant rule in seal cutting learning.However,when observing the seal cutting works of Deng Shilu,Zhao Zhiqian,Wu Changshuo,Xu Sangeng and Chen Julais in Ming and Qing dynasties,the author finds that the concept of "imprinting the Qin and Han Dynasties" is always dominant.Although the slogan of "Imprinting the Qin and Han Dynasties" is proposed,the understanding of Qin seals is still in a very vague stage.For a long time,the influence of Qin seals is always not as good as Han seals.It has not formed a scale and even been neglected in a long period of time,which gives us a broad space for research.The production process of Qin seals is unique.The author carefully analyzed and understood the Qin seals by observing the original prints,consulting information and combining his own creative experience.Starting from the "meaning" of freehand brushwork,the author closely follows the theme,compares and analyzes the printing surface,sealing mud and printing of Qin seals by combining with high-definition printing spectrum,trying to clearly restore the real appearance of Qin seals.Moreover,the author analyzes and deconstructs the orderly and interesting style of seal,so as to interpret and filter out its beneficial elements for the creation of seal cutting.Standing on the contemporary perspective of people,the author analyzes the freehand elements in Qin seal and the causes that affect the formation of freehand elements in Qin seal through the analysis of the carving process of Qin seal and the method of knife,calligraphy and calligraphy.To sum up,there is still a lot of space for further research and excavation of Qin seals,and the elements of brushwork presented in the carving process of Qin seal are worth further exploration.The analysis and study of this topic can effectively guide the practice of creation,and also can clear the ideas and direction of seal cutting creation.Because the author’s knowledge is shallow,if there is something wrong in the article,which is about the exploration on freehand of Qin seal,I do hope that experts will criticize and correct.
