'''Ⅰ.简介'''

篆刻，因其刻印常使用篆书字体而得名，融合了书法、雕刻技艺与绘画美学，是中国传统艺术的重要组成部分。篆刻的铭文和印章形态，不仅展示了中国艺术的深厚传统与多元表现，也见证了中国历史与文化的变迁。自古以来，篆刻便承载着丰富的文化内涵和象征意义，在中国社会经济与文化传承中占据重要地位，对各个历史时期的艺术与社会生活产生了深远影响（Sun 2004, 2）。

'''Ⅱ.历史'''

篆刻起源于中国，在中国已有超过三千年的历史，后传播并流行于东亚地区。根据现有资料，印章的历史可追溯至三千多年前的商代（见图1），当时利用龟甲兽骨刻写甲骨文来记录生活，为印章的起源奠定了基础。周代，青铜印章作为官员身份凭证和行使职权的象征，刻铸的文字为“籀书”（大篆），与青铜器和石刻文字相似，体现了权力的象征性需求（王 2009，9）。

秦朝统一六国后，加强中央集权，统一货币、文字、度量衡，这一改革在印章领域表现为制度上的等级性、文字上的统一性和风格上的朴实性。秦代的统一文字称“篆书”（小篆），字形圆润流畅，适用于公文书写。此后，发展出装饰性较强的“摹印篆”，广泛应用于印章等物品。尽管秦朝短暂，秦印对后代影响深远。汉代印章文字由“摹印篆”演变为“缪篆”（汉篆），字形平直方整，近似隶书，富有趣味。还有“急就章”，笔迹锋利简洁。汉代（见图2）印章文字种类繁多，制作精湛，章法严谨。魏晋南北朝时期，纸张的普及影响了印章的使用方式，从封泥印章转变为纸上的朱文印章，官私印章逐渐以朱文印为主。唐宋时期，执政者主张使用大印，并采用“九叠文”，使字形复杂难辨，官印功能逐渐衰退。文人印章逐渐回归汉印风格，体现了较强的艺术性，标志着篆刻艺术的兴起，成为从实用印章向艺术转变的过渡期（赵＆祝 2006，158）。自宋元以来，印章逐渐由实用功能转向艺术欣赏，文人印章种类增多，包括名号印、收藏印、斋馆印等。印章不仅是身份象征，也成为艺术创作的重要载体。自印章诞生以来，其制作材料多为高硬度材质，如铜、玉石、象牙等，并由工匠主导，直到元末画家王冕使用花乳石自刻印章，文人才开始脱离工匠合作，成为篆刻艺术的主力。随着金石学和考古学的兴起，古代铜器、碑版、玺印等文字的收集和传播，推动了篆刻艺术的进一步发展。明清（见图3）两代称得上是印童热的时代，自明代文彭大力推广、改革印材起，其间篆刻艺术派别众多、名家辈出，艺术家们发挥了高度的智慧才能，在摹古的基础上力求翻新;同时，印谱汇辑、印学理论的发展更是推波助澜，成就了自汉代以来印章发展史上的第二次高潮期（王 2009，11）。

'''Ⅲ.分类'''

中国的篆刻印章可以从多个角度进行分类，主要包括以下几种方式：

1. 按功能分类

官印：用于官员的职权和身份象征，具有法律效力，通常由政府或官府使用。

私印：由个人或家庭使用，作为私人物品的标识，通常用于文件签署或私人事务中。

文人印：由文人、书画家、收藏家使用，除了作为私人标识外，还具有艺术性，通常用于书画作品的鉴定或收藏。

2. 按印文分类

阴文印：刻制印章时，印面文字呈凹陷状态，通常称为白文印或阴文印（见图4）。

阳文印：刻制印章时，印面文字凸起，通常称为朱文印或阳文印（见图5），以红色印泥印刷时效果尤为明显。

[[File:four.jpg]]图4 白文印（印面为红字白底）

[[File:five.jpg]]图5 朱文印（印面为白字红底）

3. 按制作工艺分类

铸造印：通过铸造技术制作的印章，通常用于大型印章或具有象征意义的印章。

雕刻印：通过手工雕刻制作的印章，多用于文人自刻印章，雕刻工艺精湛，注重艺术性。

模印：通过模具制作的印章，较为简单，通常用于一些普通印章的制作。

'''Ⅳ.制作步骤'''

中国的篆刻印章制作是一项集雕刻、书法和艺术于一体的传统工艺，具有深厚的历史背景和文化内涵。制作工艺精细，要求雕刻师具备高超的技艺和深厚的书法功底。常见的制作方法包括翻砂、拔蜡、铸印和凿印，金属印章一般先刻模再浇铸；晶玉印章古时手工琢成，现多采用电刻；石、牙、角等印章则直接用刻刀雕刻（李 2022）。

制作过程主要包括选材、设计、篆刻、润色与试印四个步骤。第一步，选材。材料的种类对印章的质感、耐用性和艺术效果至关重要。常用材料有寿山石、青田石、昌化石等石材，玉石如和田玉、翡翠等，铜、象牙和木材等也常用于印章制作。第二步，设计。设计师根据印主的需求选择合适的字体和风格，常见字体有篆书、隶书、行书等，篆书因其装饰性和艺术性较强而多用于印章。设计师还会根据印章的大小和形状确定文字排布，确保文字既符合书法美学，又清晰可见。篆刻是制作中的核心步骤，雕刻师使用特殊工具（见图6和图7）将设计好的文字刻入印章，精确雕刻出阴阳文（凹凸）效果。除了文字，雕刻师还会在印章上刻制装饰性图案，如花纹和吉祥物，以增强艺术性和个性。第四步，润色与试印。完成的印章会经过打磨、抛光和细致检查，确保表面光滑、文字清晰无误。印章还需进行“试印”测试，通常使用朱红色印泥，以检查印文的清晰度和完整性。如有问题，可能需要进行微调或重新雕刻，确保完美呈现。

[[File:seven.jpg]]图7

'''Ⅴ.其他地区的篆刻'''

1.印度河流域

印度河流域印章是该文明的重要文化载体，作为书写工具，它不仅用于传递信息，还在社会政治中发挥了关键作用。大多数印章由滑石（皂石）制成，这种材料因其易于雕刻且烧制后坚硬，成为当时工匠的首选。滑石的特性使得印章在传递文化和经济信息时具备了持久性（Jamison 2013，226）。

印章主要有方形和矩形两种类型，其中方形印章多刻有文字和动物图案，尤其是带有独角兽图案的方形印章（见图8）最为常见。虽然不同工匠的雕刻风格有所差异，但所有印章都承载了深刻的文化象征。此外，作为财富和权力的象征，印章通常被统治阶层使用，帮助他们合法化并巩固社会秩序。印章上的铭文和图案不仅记录了经济交易、宗教仪式和所有权，还作为权威的象征，传达了统治阶级的社会地位和控制权。因此，印章可以被视为精英权力的标志，是理解印度河流域社会政治结构的关键工具（Jamison 2013，226）。

[[File:ba.jpg]]图8

2.塞浦路斯

塞浦路斯的篆刻印章，尤其是圆柱形印章，是晚期青铜时代和铁器时代具有重要历史、行政和文化意义的艺术形式。这些印章多由石材、玉石等坚硬材料制成，常见于墓葬、圣所、住宅和作坊等遗址，形状、材质和设计各异，反映了塞浦路斯艺术的多样性及与周边地区文化的互动(Smith 2014, 206)。

圆柱形印章常见的特点是多次重新雕刻。许多印章被反复雕刻，甚至有些印章上雕刻层次达四五次，这体现了印章随着时间推移、经历不同拥有者的变化。每次雕刻的更新不仅反映了不同时期的艺术风格，也揭示了社会变动和文化交流。这些印章既是行政工具，也承载了权力、身份和宗教象征，展现了塞浦路斯社会的文化与政治变迁(Smith 2014, 206)。

印章设计通常包括抽象图案和象征性符号，常与权力和宗教信仰相关。尤其在晚期青铜时代，印章的复杂图案不仅具有装饰性，也承担着重要的社会功能。随着时间的推移，印章从行政用途逐渐向艺术表达转变，成为身份的象征(Smith 2014, 206)。

总体而言，塞浦路斯的篆刻印章在材质、设计和雕刻技法上展示了与古代近东、埃及、安那托利亚及爱琴海地区的文化交流。它们不仅是历史遗物，更是塞浦路斯文化和社会变革的重要见证(Smith 2014, 208)。

'''Seal Carving'''

'''Abstract'''

Seal carving, as an essential part of traditional Chinese culture, integrates calligraphy, engraving, and painting, carrying profound historical and cultural symbolism. This paper reviews the historical evolution of seal carving, exploring its origins in the oracle bone script of the Shang Dynasty, its role as a symbol of power during the Qin and Han Dynasties, its artistic transformation during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and its peak development in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. By analyzing the changes in seal carving styles, techniques, and aesthetics across different historical periods, this study reveals the deep cultural and artistic value of seal carving. The paper also discusses the craftsmanship of seal carving, including material selection, engraving techniques, and the evolution of seal forms, illustrating both the inheritance and innovation of the craft. Additionally, a comparison is made between the seal carving traditions of the Indus Valley and the Mediterranean region, exploring the similarities, differences, and intercultural fusion of seal carving art in different cultural contexts.

'''Ⅰ.Introduction'''

Seal carving, named after the use of seal script for its inscriptions, is an important component of traditional Chinese art that blends calligraphy, engraving techniques, and painting aesthetics. The inscriptions and forms of seals not only showcase China’s profound artistic traditions and diverse expressions but also reflect the changes in Chinese history and culture. Since ancient times, seal carving has carried rich cultural connotations and symbolic meanings, holding an important position in the social, economic, and cultural transmission of China. It has had a far-reaching influence on the art and social life of various historical periods (Sun 2004, 2).

'''Ⅱ.History'''

Seal carving originated in China, with a history of over three thousand years, later spreading and becoming popular in East Asia. According to available records, the history of seals can be traced back more than three thousand years to the Shang Dynasty (see Figure 1), when oracle bone inscriptions were carved on tortoise shells and animal bones to record daily life, laying the foundation for the origin of seals. During the Zhou Dynasty, bronze seals were used as proof of official identity and symbols of authority. The engraved characters were in large seal script(Da zhuan), which resembled inscriptions on bronzeware and stone carvings, embodying the symbolic demands of power (Wang 2009, 9).

After the Qin Dynasty unified the six states, centralization of power was strengthened, and reforms such as unified currency, script, and measurements were carried out. These reforms in the field of seal carving were reflected in the hierarchical system, uniform script, and simplicity in style. The unified script of the Qin Dynasty, known as small seal script (Xiao zhuan), featured rounded and flowing characters, suitable for writing official documents. This was followed by the development of the more decorative impression seal script (mo yin zhuan), widely used for seals and other items. Although the Qin Dynasty was short-lived, Qin seals had a profound influence on later generations. During the Han Dynasty, the seal script evolved from impression seal script to Mao seal script (Han zhuan), with characters becoming more upright and square, resembling clerical script, which was both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Han Dynasty seals (see Figure 2) were varied, exquisitely crafted, and meticulously arranged. During the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the spread of paper influenced the way seals were used. This led to a shift from clay seal impressions to red ink seals on paper. Official and private seals gradually favored red ink impressions. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, rulers advocated the use of large seals, incorporating "nine-fold characters" to create complex and hard-to-read inscriptions, which gradually reduced the functional role of official seals. Meanwhile, scholar-official seals returned to the style of Han Dynasty seals, emphasizing artistic value and marking the rise of seal carving as an art form. This period marked the transition from practical seals to artistic creations (Zhao & Zhu 2006, 158). Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, seals gradually shifted from practical functions to artistic appreciation. The types of scholar seals increased, including name seals and collection seals. Seals became not only symbols of identity but also important carriers of artistic creation. Since the birth of seals, their materials have typically been of high hardness, such as bronze, jade, and ivory, and they were made by craftsmen. It wasn't until the late Yuan Dynasty, when the painter Wang Mian began using ophicalcitum to carve his own seals, that scholars began to work independently, shifting from collaboration with craftsmen to becoming the main force in seal carving art. With the rise of epigraphy and archaeology, the collection and dissemination of ancient bronzeware, steles, seals, and other inscriptions further promoted the development of seal carving art. The Ming and Qing Dynasties (see Figure 3) are often considered the peak period for seal carving. During the Ming Dynasty, Wen Peng vigorously promoted and reformed seal materials. During this time, numerous schools and renowned masters of seal carving emerged. Artists displayed great ingenuity and talent, seeking innovation while drawing upon the traditions of the past. At the same time, the compilation of seal catalogues and the development of seal theory further accelerated this progress, marking the second peak in the history of seal development since the Han Dynasty (Wang 2009, 11).

'''III. Classification'''

Chinese seal carving can be categorized from several perspectives, with the following main classifications:

1.By Function

Official Seal : Used by government officials as a symbol of authority and identity, with legal validity. Typically employed by the government or official institutions.

Private Seal : Used by individuals or families as a mark of ownership, often for signing documents or handling private affairs.

Scholarly Seal : Used by scholars, calligraphers, painters, and collectors. In addition to serving as personal marks, these seals also carry artistic value and are often used to authenticate or signify ownership of artworks or collections.

2.By Inscription Type

Relief Seal: When the engraved text on the seal is recessed, often referred to as "white script" or "relief seal" (see Figure 4).

Raised Seal: When the engraved text is raised, typically called "red script" or "raised seal" (see Figure 5). This type of seal is particularly effective when printed with red ink, showing the raised text clearly.

[[File:four.jpg]]Figure 4

[[File:five.jpg]]Figure 5

3.By Crafting Technique

Cast Seal: Seals made using casting techniques, usually for larger or symbolic seals.

Carved Seal: Seals made by hand-carving, often used for scholar-made seals, with intricate craftsmanship focusing on artistic quality.

Molded Seal: Seals created using molds, simpler in design and often used for more generic seals.

'''Ⅳ.Manufacturing Process'''

The process of making Chinese seals is a traditional craft that integrates carving, calligraphy, and art, with deep historical and cultural significance. The craftsmanship is meticulous, requiring the carver to possess exceptional skill and a solid foundation in calligraphy. Common manufacturing methods include sand casting, casting, and engraving. Metal seals are typically molded first and then cast, while crystal or jade seals were traditionally hand-carved, though modern methods often involve electric engraving. Stone, ivory, and horn seals are usually directly carved with engraving tools (Li 2022).

The manufacturing process involves four main steps: material selection, design, engraving, and finishing with a trial impression. Material Selection: The type of material is crucial to the texture, durability, and artistic effect of the seal. Common materials include Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone, Changhua stone, jade such as Hetian jade and emerald, as well as bronze, ivory, and wood. Design: The designer selects appropriate fonts and styles based on the owner’s needs. Common fonts include seal script, clerical script, and running script, with seal script often preferred due to its decorative and artistic qualities. The designer also determines the arrangement of characters based on the size and shape of the seal, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and legibility. Engraving: The core step of the process, where the carver uses specialized tools (see Figures 6 and 7) to carve the chosen characters into the seal, creating the raised or recessed effects (yang and yin script). In addition to the text, decorative motifs such as patterns and auspicious symbols are also carved to enhance the artistic and personalized nature of the seal. Finishing and Trial Impression: The completed seal undergoes polishing, grinding, and careful inspection to ensure a smooth surface and clear, accurate inscriptions. The seal is then tested, typically with cinnabar ink, to check the clarity and completeness of the print. If any issues are found, minor adjustments or re-carving may be required to ensure perfection.

'''Ⅴ.Seal Carving in Other Regions'''

1. Indus Valley

Seals from the Indus Valley civilization are important cultural artifacts, serving not only as tools for writing but also playing a crucial role in social and political spheres. Most of these seals were made from steatite (soapstone), a material prized for its ease of carving and durability after firing, making it the preferred choice of artisans at the time. The properties of steatite made these seals durable, enabling them to preserve and transmit cultural and economic information over time (Jamison 2013, 226).

The seals primarily come in square and rectangular shapes, with square seals often featuring inscriptions and animal motifs, especially those with depictions of unicorns, which are most commonly found (see Figure 8). While individual carving styles varied among different artisans, all the seals carry deep cultural symbolism. Additionally, as symbols of wealth and power, these seals were typically used by the ruling elite to legitimize and reinforce their social authority. The inscriptions and motifs on the seals not only recorded economic transactions, religious rituals, and ownership but also served as symbols of authority, communicating the social status and control of the ruling class. As such, the seals can be regarded as a symbol of elite power and are key tools for understanding the social and political structure of the Indus Valley civilization (Jamison 2013, 226).

[[File:ba.jpg]]Figure 8

2. Cyprus (An island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea)

Cypriot seal carving, particularly the cylindrical seals, is an art form of significant historical, administrative, and cultural importance during the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age. These seals were primarily made from hard materials such as stone and jade, and are commonly found in burial sites, sanctuaries, residential areas, and workshops. The variety in shape, material, and design reflects the diversity of Cypriot art and the interactions with surrounding regional cultures (Smith 2014, 206).

Cylindrical seals are often characterized by repeated re-carving. Many seals were engraved multiple times, with some even showing up to four or five layers of carving. This reflects the seals' evolution over time as they passed through different owners. Each new engraving not only mirrors the artistic styles of different periods but also reveals societal changes and cultural exchanges. These seals were not just administrative tools; they also carried symbols of power, identity, and religion, showcasing the cultural and political transformations of Cypriot society (Smith 2014, 206).

The designs on the seals typically feature abstract patterns and symbolic motifs, often linked to themes of power and religious belief. Especially during the Late Bronze Age, the complex patterns on the seals were not only decorative but also held significant social functions. Over time, the seals gradually shifted from administrative tools to symbols of identity, becoming more associated with personal and cultural expression (Smith 2014, 206).

Overall, Cypriot seal carving displays materials, designs, and engraving techniques that reflect cultural exchanges with the ancient Near East, Egypt, Anatolia, and the Aegean region. These seals are not merely historical artifacts but also important witnesses to the cultural and societal changes of Cyprus (Smith 2014, 208).

'''Ⅰ.简介'''

篆刻，因其刻印常使用篆书字体而得名，融合了书法、雕刻技艺与绘画美学，是中国传统艺术的重要组成部分。篆刻的铭文和印章形态，不仅展示了中国艺术的深厚传统与多元表现，也见证了中国历史与文化的变迁。自古以来，篆刻便承载着丰富的文化内涵和象征意义，在中国社会经济与文化传承中占据重要地位，对各个历史时期的艺术与社会生活产生了深远影响（Sun 2004, 2）。

'''Ⅱ.历史'''

篆刻起源于中国，在中国已有超过三千年的历史，后传播并流行于东亚地区。根据现有资料，印章的历史可追溯至三千多年前的商代（见图1），当时利用龟甲兽骨刻写甲骨文来记录生活，为印章的起源奠定了基础。周代，青铜印章作为官员身份凭证和行使职权的象征，刻铸的文字为“籀书”（大篆），与青铜器和石刻文字相似，体现了权力的象征性需求（王 2009，9）。

秦朝统一六国后，加强中央集权，统一货币、文字、度量衡，这一改革在印章领域表现为制度上的等级性、文字上的统一性和风格上的朴实性。秦代的统一文字称“篆书”（小篆），字形圆润流畅，适用于公文书写。此后，发展出装饰性较强的“摹印篆”，广泛应用于印章等物品。尽管秦朝短暂，秦印对后代影响深远。汉代印章文字由“摹印篆”演变为“缪篆”（汉篆），字形平直方整，近似隶书，富有趣味。还有“急就章”，笔迹锋利简洁。汉代（见图2）印章文字种类繁多，制作精湛，章法严谨。魏晋南北朝时期，纸张的普及影响了印章的使用方式，从封泥印章转变为纸上的朱文印章，官私印章逐渐以朱文印为主。唐宋时期，执政者主张使用大印，并采用“九叠文”，使字形复杂难辨，官印功能逐渐衰退。文人印章逐渐回归汉印风格，体现了较强的艺术性，标志着篆刻艺术的兴起，成为从实用印章向艺术转变的过渡期（赵＆祝 2006，158）。自宋元以来，印章逐渐由实用功能转向艺术欣赏，文人印章种类增多，包括名号印、收藏印、斋馆印等。印章不仅是身份象征，也成为艺术创作的重要载体。自印章诞生以来，其制作材料多为高硬度材质，如铜、玉石、象牙等，并由工匠主导，直到元末画家王冕使用花乳石自刻印章，文人才开始脱离工匠合作，成为篆刻艺术的主力。随着金石学和考古学的兴起，古代铜器、碑版、玺印等文字的收集和传播，推动了篆刻艺术的进一步发展。明清（见图3）两代称得上是印童热的时代，自明代文彭大力推广、改革印材起，其间篆刻艺术派别众多、名家辈出，艺术家们发挥了高度的智慧才能，在摹古的基础上力求翻新;同时，印谱汇辑、印学理论的发展更是推波助澜，成就了自汉代以来印章发展史上的第二次高潮期（王 2009，11）。

'''Ⅲ.分类'''

中国的篆刻印章可以从多个角度进行分类，主要包括以下几种方式：

1. 按功能分类

官印：用于官员的职权和身份象征，具有法律效力，通常由政府或官府使用。

私印：由个人或家庭使用，作为私人物品的标识，通常用于文件签署或私人事务中。

文人印：由文人、书画家、收藏家使用，除了作为私人标识外，还具有艺术性，通常用于书画作品的鉴定或收藏。

2. 按印文分类

阴文印：刻制印章时，印面文字呈凹陷状态，通常称为白文印或阴文印（见图4）。

阳文印：刻制印章时，印面文字凸起，通常称为朱文印或阳文印（见图5），以红色印泥印刷时效果尤为明显。

[[File:four.jpg]]图4 白文印（印面为红字白底）

[[File:five.jpg]]图5 朱文印（印面为白字红底）

3. 按制作工艺分类

铸造印：通过铸造技术制作的印章，通常用于大型印章或具有象征意义的印章。

雕刻印：通过手工雕刻制作的印章，多用于文人自刻印章，雕刻工艺精湛，注重艺术性。

模印：通过模具制作的印章，较为简单，通常用于一些普通印章的制作。

'''Ⅳ.制作步骤'''

中国的篆刻印章制作是一项集雕刻、书法和艺术于一体的传统工艺，具有深厚的历史背景和文化内涵。制作工艺精细，要求雕刻师具备高超的技艺和深厚的书法功底。常见的制作方法包括翻砂、拔蜡、铸印和凿印，金属印章一般先刻模再浇铸；晶玉印章古时手工琢成，现多采用电刻；石、牙、角等印章则直接用刻刀雕刻（李 2022）。

制作过程主要包括选材、设计、篆刻、润色与试印四个步骤。第一步，选材。材料的种类对印章的质感、耐用性和艺术效果至关重要。常用材料有寿山石、青田石、昌化石等石材，玉石如和田玉、翡翠等，铜、象牙和木材等也常用于印章制作。第二步，设计。设计师根据印主的需求选择合适的字体和风格，常见字体有篆书、隶书、行书等，篆书因其装饰性和艺术性较强而多用于印章。设计师还会根据印章的大小和形状确定文字排布，确保文字既符合书法美学，又清晰可见。篆刻是制作中的核心步骤，雕刻师使用特殊工具（见图6和图7）将设计好的文字刻入印章，精确雕刻出阴阳文（凹凸）效果。除了文字，雕刻师还会在印章上刻制装饰性图案，如花纹和吉祥物，以增强艺术性和个性。第四步，润色与试印。完成的印章会经过打磨、抛光和细致检查，确保表面光滑、文字清晰无误。印章还需进行“试印”测试，通常使用朱红色印泥，以检查印文的清晰度和完整性。如有问题，可能需要进行微调或重新雕刻，确保完美呈现。

[[File:seven.jpg]]图7

'''Ⅴ.其他地区的篆刻'''

1.印度河流域

印度河流域印章是该文明的重要文化载体，作为书写工具，它不仅用于传递信息，还在社会政治中发挥了关键作用。大多数印章由滑石（皂石）制成，这种材料因其易于雕刻且烧制后坚硬，成为当时工匠的首选。滑石的特性使得印章在传递文化和经济信息时具备了持久性（Jamison 2013，226）。

印章主要有方形和矩形两种类型，其中方形印章多刻有文字和动物图案，尤其是带有独角兽图案的方形印章（见图8）最为常见。虽然不同工匠的雕刻风格有所差异，但所有印章都承载了深刻的文化象征。此外，作为财富和权力的象征，印章通常被统治阶层使用，帮助他们合法化并巩固社会秩序。印章上的铭文和图案不仅记录了经济交易、宗教仪式和所有权，还作为权威的象征，传达了统治阶级的社会地位和控制权。因此，印章可以被视为精英权力的标志，是理解印度河流域社会政治结构的关键工具（Jamison 2013，226）。

[[File:ba.jpg]]图8

2.塞浦路斯

塞浦路斯的篆刻印章，尤其是圆柱形印章，是晚期青铜时代和铁器时代具有重要历史、行政和文化意义的艺术形式。这些印章多由石材、玉石等坚硬材料制成，常见于墓葬、圣所、住宅和作坊等遗址，形状、材质和设计各异，反映了塞浦路斯艺术的多样性及与周边地区文化的互动(Smith 2014, 206)。

圆柱形印章常见的特点是多次重新雕刻。许多印章被反复雕刻，甚至有些印章上雕刻层次达四五次，这体现了印章随着时间推移、经历不同拥有者的变化。每次雕刻的更新不仅反映了不同时期的艺术风格，也揭示了社会变动和文化交流。这些印章既是行政工具，也承载了权力、身份和宗教象征，展现了塞浦路斯社会的文化与政治变迁(Smith 2014, 206)。

印章设计通常包括抽象图案和象征性符号，常与权力和宗教信仰相关。尤其在晚期青铜时代，印章的复杂图案不仅具有装饰性，也承担着重要的社会功能。随着时间的推移，印章从行政用途逐渐向艺术表达转变，成为身份的象征(Smith 2014, 206)。

总体而言，塞浦路斯的篆刻印章在材质、设计和雕刻技法上展示了与古代近东、埃及、安那托利亚及爱琴海地区的文化交流。它们不仅是历史遗物，更是塞浦路斯文化和社会变革的重要见证(Smith 2014, 208)。

'''Seal Carving'''

'''Abstract'''

Seal carving, as an essential part of traditional Chinese culture, integrates calligraphy, engraving, and painting, carrying profound historical and cultural symbolism. This paper reviews the historical evolution of seal carving, exploring its origins in the oracle bone script of the Shang Dynasty, its role as a symbol of power during the Qin and Han Dynasties, its artistic transformation during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and its peak development in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. By analyzing the changes in seal carving styles, techniques, and aesthetics across different historical periods, this study reveals the deep cultural and artistic value of seal carving. The paper also discusses the craftsmanship of seal carving, including material selection, engraving techniques, and the evolution of seal forms, illustrating both the inheritance and innovation of the craft. Additionally, a comparison is made between the seal carving traditions of the Indus Valley and the Mediterranean region, exploring the similarities, differences, and intercultural fusion of seal carving art in different cultural contexts.

'''Ⅰ.Introduction'''

Seal carving, named after the use of seal script for its inscriptions, is an important component of traditional Chinese art that blends calligraphy, engraving techniques, and painting aesthetics. The inscriptions and forms of seals not only showcase China’s profound artistic traditions and diverse expressions but also reflect the changes in Chinese history and culture. Since ancient times, seal carving has carried rich cultural connotations and symbolic meanings, holding an important position in the social, economic, and cultural transmission of China. It has had a far-reaching influence on the art and social life of various historical periods (Sun 2004, 2).

'''Ⅱ.History'''

Seal carving originated in China, with a history of over three thousand years, later spreading and becoming popular in East Asia. According to available records, the history of seals can be traced back more than three thousand years to the Shang Dynasty (see Figure 1), when oracle bone inscriptions were carved on tortoise shells and animal bones to record daily life, laying the foundation for the origin of seals. During the Zhou Dynasty, bronze seals were used as proof of official identity and symbols of authority. The engraved characters were in large seal script(Da zhuan), which resembled inscriptions on bronzeware and stone carvings, embodying the symbolic demands of power (Wang 2009, 9).

After the Qin Dynasty unified the six states, centralization of power was strengthened, and reforms such as unified currency, script, and measurements were carried out. These reforms in the field of seal carving were reflected in the hierarchical system, uniform script, and simplicity in style. The unified script of the Qin Dynasty, known as small seal script (Xiao zhuan), featured rounded and flowing characters, suitable for writing official documents. This was followed by the development of the more decorative impression seal script (mo yin zhuan), widely used for seals and other items. Although the Qin Dynasty was short-lived, Qin seals had a profound influence on later generations. During the Han Dynasty, the seal script evolved from impression seal script to Mao seal script (Han zhuan), with characters becoming more upright and square, resembling clerical script, which was both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Han Dynasty seals (see Figure 2) were varied, exquisitely crafted, and meticulously arranged. During the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the spread of paper influenced the way seals were used. This led to a shift from clay seal impressions to red ink seals on paper. Official and private seals gradually favored red ink impressions. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, rulers advocated the use of large seals, incorporating "nine-fold characters" to create complex and hard-to-read inscriptions, which gradually reduced the functional role of official seals. Meanwhile, scholar-official seals returned to the style of Han Dynasty seals, emphasizing artistic value and marking the rise of seal carving as an art form. This period marked the transition from practical seals to artistic creations (Zhao & Zhu 2006, 158). Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, seals gradually shifted from practical functions to artistic appreciation. The types of scholar seals increased, including name seals and collection seals. Seals became not only symbols of identity but also important carriers of artistic creation. Since the birth of seals, their materials have typically been of high hardness, such as bronze, jade, and ivory, and they were made by craftsmen. It wasn't until the late Yuan Dynasty, when the painter Wang Mian began using ophicalcitum to carve his own seals, that scholars began to work independently, shifting from collaboration with craftsmen to becoming the main force in seal carving art. With the rise of epigraphy and archaeology, the collection and dissemination of ancient bronzeware, steles, seals, and other inscriptions further promoted the development of seal carving art. The Ming and Qing Dynasties (see Figure 3) are often considered the peak period for seal carving. During the Ming Dynasty, Wen Peng vigorously promoted and reformed seal materials. During this time, numerous schools and renowned masters of seal carving emerged. Artists displayed great ingenuity and talent, seeking innovation while drawing upon the traditions of the past. At the same time, the compilation of seal catalogues and the development of seal theory further accelerated this progress, marking the second peak in the history of seal development since the Han Dynasty (Wang 2009, 11).

'''III. Classification'''

Chinese seal carving can be categorized from several perspectives, with the following main classifications:

1.By Function

Official Seal : Used by government officials as a symbol of authority and identity, with legal validity. Typically employed by the government or official institutions.

Private Seal : Used by individuals or families as a mark of ownership, often for signing documents or handling private affairs.

Scholarly Seal : Used by scholars, calligraphers, painters, and collectors. In addition to serving as personal marks, these seals also carry artistic value and are often used to authenticate or signify ownership of artworks or collections.

2.By Inscription Type
Relief Seal: When the engraved text on the seal is recessed, often referred to as "white script" or "relief seal" (see Figure 4).

Raised Seal: When the engraved text is raised, typically called "red script" or "raised seal" (see Figure 5). This type of seal is particularly effective when printed with red ink, showing the raised text clearly.

[[File:four.jpg]]图4 白文印（印面为红字白底）

[[File:five.jpg]]图5 朱文印（印面为白字红底）

3.By Crafting Technique
Cast Seal: Seals made using casting techniques, usually for larger or symbolic seals.
Carved Seal: Seals made by hand-carving, often used for scholar-made seals, with intricate craftsmanship focusing on artistic quality.
Molded Seal: Seals created using molds, simpler in design and often used for more generic seals.

'''Ⅳ.Manufacturing Process'''

The process of making Chinese seals is a traditional craft that integrates carving, calligraphy, and art, with deep historical and cultural significance. The craftsmanship is meticulous, requiring the carver to possess exceptional skill and a solid foundation in calligraphy. Common manufacturing methods include sand casting, casting, and engraving. Metal seals are typically molded first and then cast, while crystal or jade seals were traditionally hand-carved, though modern methods often involve electric engraving. Stone, ivory, and horn seals are usually directly carved with engraving tools (Li 2022).

The manufacturing process involves four main steps: material selection, design, engraving, and finishing with a trial impression. Material Selection: The type of material is crucial to the texture, durability, and artistic effect of the seal. Common materials include Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone, Changhua stone, jade such as Hetian jade and emerald, as well as bronze, ivory, and wood. Design: The designer selects appropriate fonts and styles based on the owner’s needs. Common fonts include seal script, clerical script, and running script, with seal script often preferred due to its decorative and artistic qualities. The designer also determines the arrangement of characters based on the size and shape of the seal, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and legibility. Engraving: The core step of the process, where the carver uses specialized tools (see Figures 6 and 7) to carve the chosen characters into the seal, creating the raised or recessed effects (yang and yin script). In addition to the text, decorative motifs such as patterns and auspicious symbols are also carved to enhance the artistic and personalized nature of the seal. Finishing and Trial Impression: The completed seal undergoes polishing, grinding, and careful inspection to ensure a smooth surface and clear, accurate inscriptions. The seal is then tested, typically with cinnabar ink, to check the clarity and completeness of the print. If any issues are found, minor adjustments or re-carving may be required to ensure perfection.

'''Ⅴ.Seal Carving in Other Regions'''

1. Indus Valley
Seals from the Indus Valley civilization are important cultural artifacts, serving not only as tools for writing but also playing a crucial role in social and political spheres. Most of these seals were made from steatite (soapstone), a material prized for its ease of carving and durability after firing, making it the preferred choice of artisans at the time. The properties of steatite made these seals durable, enabling them to preserve and transmit cultural and economic information over time (Jamison 2013, 226).

The seals primarily come in square and rectangular shapes, with square seals often featuring inscriptions and animal motifs, especially those with depictions of unicorns, which are most commonly found (see Figure 8). While individual carving styles varied among different artisans, all the seals carry deep cultural symbolism. Additionally, as symbols of wealth and power, these seals were typically used by the ruling elite to legitimize and reinforce their social authority. The inscriptions and motifs on the seals not only recorded economic transactions, religious rituals, and ownership but also served as symbols of authority, communicating the social status and control of the ruling class. As such, the seals can be regarded as a symbol of elite power and are key tools for understanding the social and political structure of the Indus Valley civilization (Jamison 2013, 226).

[[File:ba.jpg]]图8

2. Cyprus (An island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea)
Cypriot seal carving, particularly the cylindrical seals, is an art form of significant historical, administrative, and cultural importance during the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age. These seals were primarily made from hard materials such as stone and jade, and are commonly found in burial sites, sanctuaries, residential areas, and workshops. The variety in shape, material, and design reflects the diversity of Cypriot art and the interactions with surrounding regional cultures (Smith 2014, 206).

Cylindrical seals are often characterized by repeated re-carving. Many seals were engraved multiple times, with some even showing up to four or five layers of carving. This reflects the seals' evolution over time as they passed through different owners. Each new engraving not only mirrors the artistic styles of different periods but also reveals societal changes and cultural exchanges. These seals were not just administrative tools; they also carried symbols of power, identity, and religion, showcasing the cultural and political transformations of Cypriot society (Smith 2014, 206).

The designs on the seals typically feature abstract patterns and symbolic motifs, often linked to themes of power and religious belief. Especially during the Late Bronze Age, the complex patterns on the seals were not only decorative but also held significant social functions. Over time, the seals gradually shifted from administrative tools to symbols of identity, becoming more associated with personal and cultural expression (Smith 2014, 206).

Overall, Cypriot seal carving displays materials, designs, and engraving techniques that reflect cultural exchanges with the ancient Near East, Egypt, Anatolia, and the Aegean region. These seals are not merely historical artifacts but also important witnesses to the cultural and societal changes of Cyprus (Smith 2014, 208).

#Was the presentation successful? Did it catch the attention of the audience over the whole time? Was the presenter persuading? Was the audience excited/fascinated? Did the audience learn something? (Or was the audience bored and talked the whole time without paying attention to the presenter?)
#Formal things: Was the speaker good to hear (loud/clear)? Did he make a self-confident impression and did he know his topic? Did the speaker speak freely and not read out? Where there meaningful pictures and graphs on the slides and only a few keywords, well sorted by numbers or bullet points (or was the powerpoint merely a text desert of small size script with the script being copied onto the slides)?
#Was the presentation appropriate to the topic?
#Was the activity part meaningful and appropriate to the topic? Did it speak to everyone in the audience individually?
#Was the presentation not too short and not too long in time, but as long as the other presentations, so that all presentations of the day could be presented?

Welcome to Chinese Language and Culture 2024

THU (19:00-19:45,19:55-20:40,20:50-21:35) 至善楼105 MA2 (23级笔译口译 Translation & Interpretation) 中国语言文化 Chinese Language and Culture 2024, Textbook: Woesler 2024, 1 5.9., 2 12.9., 3 19.9., 4 26.9., 5 10.10., 6 17.10., 7 24.10., 8 31.10., 9 7.11., 10 14.11., 11 21.11., 12 28.11., 13 5.12., 14 12.12., 15 19.12., 16 26.12.

=Grading Criteria for Powerpoint Presentations=
#Was the presentation based on scientific facts, did the presenter also conduct some research on the topic and did he/she also add her own experience or her own opinion/perspective and marking the two different perspectives as factual/subjective? Did the presentation avoid absolute judgments like "good" or "best", but did it instead use vocabulary like "fascinating", "surprising" etc. and also indicated to whom it is fascinating/surprising etc. and why?
#Was the presentation successful? Did it catch the attention of the audience over the whole time? Was the presenter persuading? Was the audience excited/fascinated? Did the audience learn something? (Or was the audience bored and talked the whole time without paying attention to the presenter?)
#Formal things: Was the speaker good to hear (loud/clear)? Did he make a self-confident impression and did he know his topic? Did the speaker speak freely and not read out? Where there meaningful pictures and graphs on the slides and only a few keywords, well sorted by numbers or bullet points (or was the powerpoint merely a text desert of small size script with the script being copied onto the slides)?
#Was the presentation appropriate to the topic?
#Was the activity part meaningful and appropriate to the topic? Did it speak to everyone in the audience individually?
#Was the presentation not too short and not too long in time, but as long as the other presentations, so that all presentations of the day could be presented?
#Did the presentation consider the same cultural phenomenon both in China and in other countries, at least as a comparison?
#Did the presentation avoid mistakes like reading out text in a boring way, pronounciation mistakes, typos in the English text?
#Did you indicate the sources you have used at least on the last page of your presentation in the form of a list?
#Did you upload your ppt file successfully (if not, did you contact the teaching assistant to upload)?
#Did you present your ppt file in the full screen mode?
#Did you arrive early in classroom to copy your file onto the desktop of the class computer and did you check it and also any embedded or accompanying video files etc. if everything works properly including sound?
#Did the presentation avoid deadly mistakes like plagiarism, using ai without indicating it (if you use ai to create the presentation, you need to indicate the platform and the full prompt you gave to ai and the main adjustments you did to the prompt), using ideology, patriotism, politics, religious beliefs, advertisement for products, ignorance (e.g. that a cultural phenomenon is wide spread in Asia and the origin is unclear, but claiming it was Chinese and originated in China), racism, prejudices, telling lies, spreading false rumors etc.?

=Session 8 Thursday Oct 31, 2024 19:00-21:35=

Today, we start a field research study under the HUNNU JM Research Centre of Excellence (EU grant).

The study is intended to compare learning a foreign language with AI and without AI.

By participating in the study, you agree that your data will be collected. However, the data will first be anonymized and only as anonymized data analyzed and compared with other sets of data. Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.

Wang Yan2:

Born in the vibrant city of Hengyang, on a crisp autumn day in 2000, I was raised in a family that valued education, creativity, and community service. My early years were marked by a natural curiosity and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. This led me to spend countless hours in libraries, exploring the realms of science, literature, and history.

My academic journey was a testament to my dedication. Graduating with a degree in Normal English, I was recognized for my academic excellence. This was followed by a pursuit of Master’ s degree in Hunan Normal University, where I specialized in English Translation, a field that has become the cornerstone of my professional career.

My journey so far has been a blend of hard work, passion, and a commitment to making a positive difference. I look forward to the future, eager to continue growing, learning, and contributing to my field and the world around me.

Today, we start a field research study under the HUNNU JM Research Centre of Excellence (EU grant).

The study is intended to compare learning a foreign language with AI and without AI.

By participating in the study, you agree that your data will be collected. However, the data will first be anonymized and only as anonymized data analyzed and compared with other sets of data. Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.

=Session 8 Thursday Oct 31, 2024 19:00-21:35=

Today, we start a field research study under the HUNNU JM Research Centre of Excellence (EU grant).

The study is intended to compare learning a foreign language with AI and without AI.

By participating in the study, you agree that your data will be collected. However, the data will first be anonymized and only as anonymized data analyzed and compared with other sets of data. Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.
