On The Huang Binhong's Sphragistics

Huang Binhong began to learn seal from the youth and began the collection of ancient seal at the age of about 30 years old.Since residence in Shanghai or trapped in Beijing,he has never stopped the collection of ancient seal.He wrote a seal book with the ancient seal which he collected,he had collected lots of seal books and no one could compare with him.Huang Binhong take the ancient seals which are collected by himself as the starting point,reference the ancient seals which are collected by ancient people and other collectors'ancient seal,research the ancient seal text.The specific method is compare the ancient seal text with Oracle,inscriptions on ancient bronze objects and inscriptions on pottery,analyze the evolution of the character glyphs,at the same time reference the Classic historical and other classic to find the basis of the use of the text.Use this method,Huang Binhong test out a large number of ancient seal words.On this basis,he has a finishing of the six languages,the research results is extremely prominent at the time.In addition,according to the vicissitudes of the ancient seal and the following examples of the ancients and inheritance of the Ming and Qing Dynasties' people,Huang Binhong also sketched out his complete profile of ancient seal history.The deepening study of sphragistics,constantly nourish the art practice of Huang Binhong as a stream of water.First of all,in the seal,although Huang Binhong engraved not too much,but his creation can clearly reflect his approach to the text is different from the general seal carving.Whether the armorial inscription on bronze or the words of six countries,Qin and Han dynasties,they are all into a furnace no hindrance in his knife.Second,Huang Binhong take sphragistics as the foothold,spread to the Oracle,inscriptions on ancient bronze objects,knife-coin words and others.These words directly converted into the Huang Binhong's seal script creation,and thus formed a unique seal style.Third,although the seal is directly related to the text,but its casting method and engraved method also pass with the brushwork.Huang Binhong's painting strokes come from stone words,and it is also the foundation of emphasize ink's inner beauty in Huang Binhong's painting.In short,on the one hand,Huang Binhong can be hard to dig deep in sphragistics,on the other hand,he can also change the sphragistics' research experience into his art practice at ease.
