中国篆刻，是中国一门独一无二、与中国书法、中国绘画密不可分的高雅传统艺术，迄今已有三千多年的历史。早在殷商时代，人们就用刀在龟甲上刻"字"，这便是篆刻的最早渊源。中国篆刻艺术是书法、绘画、刀法三者完美的结合，一方印中，既有豪壮飘逸的书法笔意，又有优美悦目的绘画构图，并且兼得刀法生动的雕刻神韵，真可谓"方寸之间，气象万千"，堪称中华民族文化遗产的精粹。
Chinese Seal Art is a unique traditional Chinese highbrow art that is inseparable from Chinese calligraphy and painting. So far, the seal art has a history of over three thousand years. Early in the Shang Dynasty, people carved "characters" on turtle shells, believed to be the earliest origin of the art. Chinese seal art is a perfect combination of its calligraphy, painting and seal carving. In a squared tiny space of a seal, one can sense not only the elegance of calligraphy, the pleasing composition of words or images as a painting, but also the charm of seal script carving skills. Therefore, Chinese seal art is no doubt the essence of Chinese cultural heritage, and of course, a seal out of such an art is "a minimized world of spectaculars".
