Why do more and more people like to collect jade seals nowadays?

Jade is not only a kind of ornament, but also one of the material carriers of Chinese traditional culture.

In addition to collecting jade jewelry, more and more people are gradually eyeing jade seals.

Before talking about jade seals, let me first give you some common knowledge about seals.

Seals, along with calligraphy, painting and poetry, are known as China's four major traditional arts and are one of China's intangible cultural heritage.

The seal requires a very high level of artistic attainment, involving fields such as history, culture, art, folklore, and calligraphy.

Seals can be said to be a comprehensive art form, the essence and concentration of Chinese traditional culture.

A seal is a piece of stationery used by ancient people to print on documents to indicate authentication or signature.

Seals are made of many materials, such as metal, wood, stone, jade, etc.

Seals can be roughly divided into three categories: imperial seals, official seals, and official seals.

The jade seal refers specifically to the jade seal used by the emperor. Only the seal used by the emperor is called a "seal", while the seal used by subjects can only be called a "seal".

Imperial Seal

Official seals have different characteristics and cultural connotations in different historical periods.

Official seals are divided into official seals of court officials at all levels, official seals of local administrators, etc. The higher the official position, the bigger the official seal and the greater the power.

Strictly speaking, the jade seal is also a type of official seal.

Official seal

A seal refers to the seal symbol on ancient Chinese official documents or calligraphy, paintings, and books. Its purpose is to indicate the right to use or ownership of an item or the recognition of the printed item.
