'Seals Treasured by Qizhai' exhibition

Featuring 130 seals and cultural artifacts donated by renowned paleographer, epigrapher and calligrapher Shang Chengzuo (1902-1991) and his family, the exhibits at the permanent exhibition "Seal Treasured by Qizhai" in the Shenzhen Museum span from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to the present day. 

The collection offers a panorama of Chinese seal-engraving history and art, reflecting the refined artistic tastes of traditional literati. The seals collected by Qizhai (Shang’s literary name), predominantly from the Ming and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, were once used by writers, epigraphers, seal-engraving artists, and collectors.

Shenzhen Daily photographer Lin Songtao captured the works of the collection.
