The Generation of China Seal

As for the origin of China seal, the written records we can see today are yunshu in Shuwei and Synthetic Map of Spring and Autumn in Han Dynasty. "Dou Yun pivot in the Spring and Autumn Period" said: "In the Yellow Emperor's time, Huanglong took a negative image with a seal inside, saying' Heavenly King Fu Xi'." "Spring and Autumn Annals" and "Spring and Autumn Annals" are even more vivid: "Yao and Qiu Shun are in the same boat, and the phoenix gives Yao a negative picture. This painting is made of red jade, three feet eight inches long and three inches thick. Topaz test, white jade rope at both ends of the seal, its printed name is' heaven Chi Di mansion Xi'.

The above two statements clearly attribute the origin of China seal to the creation and gift of the gods, which is of course very naive and absurd today. However, in ancient China, because the development of society and civilization was still in the primary stage, it was impossible for people to make scientific explanations for many problems, so everyone still believed this statement.

In addition, it is more realistic to say that China's seal originated from Oracle Bone Inscriptions and copper castings in Yin Ruins. It is not unreasonable to analyze the relationship between China's seal and Oracle Bone Inscriptions's and bronze inscriptions, because there is a close relationship between Oracle Bone Inscriptions's, bronze inscriptions and China's seals.

There is an inseparable connection from the production and carving of materials to the expression of calligraphy art. It can be said that without Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions on bronze, there would be no seal of China. However, this only illustrates the relationship between them, and does not clarify how the China seal came into being as an independent form.

In addition, there are some theories, such as China's seal originated from "totem of identity", from "religion", from "reproductive worship" and from "tools of labor", which all discuss this issue from different angles.
