印章是我国文化艺术宝库中的珍品,是篆刻、书法、绘画等相结合的独特艺术门类,被誉为中华民族传统文化的一种标志性符号。自有文字记载的三千多年来,随着时间的推移,印章从初始作为信物所具有的实用价值,逐渐升华出了艺术价值,而其文化价值也日趋凸现。翻开史册可以看到,历代许多文学家、诗人、书画家都对印章情有独钟。他们常常取用一些成语典故、诗词佳句或通俗语言作为闲章内容,许多印章同时也兼融诗、书、画为一体。 The seal is a treasure in the treasure house of Chinese culture and the arts. It is a unique art category combining seal cutting, calligraphy and painting. It is regarded as an iconic symbol of the traditional Chinese culture. Since the written records of more than 3,000 years, as time goes on, the seal has gradually sublimated the artistic value from its initial practical value as a token, and its cultural value has become increasingly prominent. As we can see from the annals of history, many writers, poets, calligraphers in all ages have enjoyed a soft spot for the seal. They often use some idioms, poems, or popular language as a loose chapter, and many stamps also incorporate poetry, books and paintings into one.
