Deng Shiru's seal: ? Seeing greatness will bring peace of mind, prosperity of etiquette, and longevity of the people

? This is a multi-character white seal. If the crosses are arranged in three lines, the horizontal strokes will be dense and dense. For four lines, most of the character space is rectangular, which makes the character shape stretch and better reflects the characteristics of Deng's Xiaozhuan. The two rows of characters on the left and right have slightly fewer strokes, with three characters in each row; the two rows of characters in the middle have dense strokes, arranged in two characters, with the left and right sides echoing each other, and the breaths connected. The character "大" is different from the usual arrangement of four vertical strokes, with several patches of red left, and the character "心" is also left in red. Although the two rows on the left are denser, there are small patches of red at the mouth of the word "Li" and on the left and right of the word "Shou". The word "ze" in the first row is to fill the space, which is based on ancient Chinese. The left side is overlapped with two shells, which is exactly diagonal and not identical with the word "ze" in the last row. This seal later returned to the collection of Kobayashi Doan, the leading figure in the Japanese seal world. In 1988, when Mr. Tong Yanfang visited Japan, he received this seal in Mr. Kobayashi Doan's study and was allowed to have two pieces of paper, one for Tong to keep for himself, and one for his collection Mr. Ye Luyuan, whom India admired very much, became a favorite in the printing world for a while.

? Among the many antiques and treasures on display at Guardian’s 2018 Autumn Auction, there is a Qingtian stone seal with white inscriptions written by Deng Shiru, a calligrapher and engraver from the Qing Dynasty. Seeing greatness will bring peace of mind, and prosperity of etiquette will bring longevity to the people. Deng Yan wrote seal script on stone for Mr. Yuan Meifu, and lived in the deep grass pavilion on the river near Jingkou." It is said that this seal was handed over to teachers and students of the famous Japanese seal carving masters Kawai Tsuenlu and Xiaolin Doan. It may be the best seal cutting work of Deng Shiru seen in the antique market today. During this period, not only did Chinese seal carvers see and make impressions in Xiaolin Douan's study, but it is also said that there were records of seals in the late Qing Dynasty. It is unknown who saw and recorded this seal in which seal book. However, "Zheng Banqiao Seal Book" is compiled.
