With Shoushan stone as its skeleton and seal - cutting art as its soul, it carries the warmth of history and the thickness of culture.

清代八家赵之琛同时代的汤贻汾于1853年发生了震动江南文坛的殉国案，汤是诗画名人赵之琛深为动容，以老迈之驱刻石一方，以至友，故诗文中有甲成叟为此刻诗文印章以志好友，并称汤为画人，即画家，甲成在此不表达天支，而与叟组句，即表示正气老者一呼赵之琛(名次闲)，勤劳而刻印众多，此诗文印即为悼念汤贻汾(刻印诗文中称汤画人)2853年的殉国事件震动江南文坛，并另有知名文人殉国，表达了同期文人的风骨，也是件见证历史的诗文印石，印石刻有“德之宗不为名”金石字体，该石印为长方，重252克，材质为老坑寿山石中的醉芙蓉石，印石上方有赵善长的园雕双狮戏球，温润通灵的耦尖白中透出点点如桃花般的自然彩点，象贵妃醉酒般白里透红，包浆细腻(不需油养而具丝滑手感)，诗文落款次闲刀法符合赵晚年的刀法老辣，单刀直入，苍劲精准风格，该印石有宝玉石鉴定证书，结论为寿山石，红外光谱显微证实为鳞片变晶结构，时代人文事件和印石材质及雕工刀法均能体现西冷八家后生代的功力。

In 1853, a martyrdom case of Tang Yifen shook the Jiangnan literary circle. Zhao Zhichen, a contemporary of Tang, was deeply moved. He engraved a poem seal to give to friends and called Tang the painter. This poem seal mourns Tang Yifen. The martyrdom reflects the style of contemporary literati and is a piece of poetry and text printing stone witnessing history. The printing stone, weighing 252 grams, is rectangular and made of the drunken hibiscus stone from the old pit Shoushan stone. There is Zhao Shanchang's garden - carving of double lions playing ball on it. The pulp is delicate. The poem is in line with Zhao's later - year knife style, which is spicy, with a single knife going straight in and a vigorous and precise style. The seal stone has a treasure and jade identification certificate, confirmed to be of a scale metamorphosis structure. The humanistic events, stone material, and carving knife method reflect the skills of the eight descendants of the Sillloul.

寿山石，作为中国传统 “四大印章石” 之一，质地温润细腻，色彩丰富多姿，为印章创作提供了得天独厚的材质基础。这方印章选用的寿山石，色泽柔和，纹理天然，仿佛将山水灵气凝于方寸之间。其石质的温润触感，历经岁月摩挲，更添古朴包浆，尽显岁月沉淀之美 。

Shoushan stone, as one of the traditional "Four Great Seal Stones" in China, has a gentle and delicate texture and rich colors, providing a unique material basis for seal creation. The Shoushan stone used in this seal has a soft color and natural texture, as if condensing the spirit of mountains and rivers within a square inch. The gentle touch of its stone quality, after years of摩挲, adds more simple and unsophisticated patina, fully showing the beauty of years of precipitation.

印章之上，钮饰雕刻尤为精妙。双兽相依的造型，生动鲜活，兽态憨萌又不失灵动。雕刻者以刀为笔，将兽的毛发、姿态刻画得细致入微，仿佛能看见双兽嬉戏互动之景，尽显传统雕刻技艺的精湛。每一刀的起落、深浅，都饱含匠心，是艺术与工艺的完美交融，让冰冷的石材拥有了鲜活的生命力 。

On the seal, the button decoration carving is particularly exquisite. The shape of two beasts leaning against each other is vivid and lively, and the beast state is naive and cute without losing agility. The carver uses a knife as a pen to depict the hair and posture of the beast in detail, as if seeing the scene of two beasts playing and interacting, fully showing the精湛 of traditional carving skills. The rise and fall, depth of each knife are full of ingenuity, which is a perfect blend of art and craftsmanship, giving the cold stone a vivid vitality.

印身侧面的文字，是时光留下的墨痕，亦是文化传承的印记。那些古朴的文字，或记创作缘起，或述心境感悟，笔锋流转间，藏着篆刻者的思绪与情怀。赵之琛作为清代篆刻名家，其篆刻风格融入浙派精髓，章法严谨，刀法细腻，这方印章虽未敢妄断绝对出自其手，但从风格韵味中，可寻得浙派篆刻的影子，感受那股典雅醇厚的艺术气息 。

The characters on the side of the seal body are the ink marks left by time and also the marks of cultural inheritance. Those simple and unsophisticated characters, either record the origin of creation or describe the perception of mood. Between the flow of the pen锋, there are the thoughts and feelings of the seal - cutter. As a famous seal - cutting master in the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Zhichen integrated the essence of the Zhe School into his seal - cutting style, with rigorous composition and delicate knife technique. Although this seal does not dare to be arbitrarily judged to be absolutely from his hand, from the style and charm, we can find the shadow of Zhe School seal - cutting and feel that elegant and mellow artistic atmosphere.

印面的篆刻文字，是印章的灵魂所在。古朴的篆体，线条曲折回环，蕴含着无尽的文化密码。每一个字的布局、笔画的走势，都遵循着篆刻艺术的审美与规则，是对汉字形体美的独特诠释。当印章钤盖于纸，那一方朱红印记，便成为书画、文牍间的点睛之笔，将艺术的气韵传递开来，连接起过去与当下的文化脉络 。

The seal - cutting characters on the seal surface are the soul of the seal. The simple and unsophisticated seal script, with tortuous and circling lines, contains endless cultural codes. The layout of each character and the trend of the strokes follow the aesthetics and rules of seal - cutting art, which is a unique interpretation of the beauty of Chinese character forms. When the seal is stamped on paper, that square of cinnabar red mark becomes the finishing touch among calligraphy, painting and documents, transmitting the artistic charm and connecting the cultural context of the past and the present.

这方赵之琛款寿山石印章，是历史的微缩载体，是艺术的生动呈现。它见证了寿山石文化的传承，篆刻技艺的发展，更让后人在触摸石质、端详篆刻的过程中，领略传统文化的深邃魅力，于方寸之间，观照千年文化的流转与沉淀，成为连接古今艺术与人文的珍贵纽带 。

This Shoushan stone seal inscribed by Zhao Zhichen is a miniature carrier of history and a vivid presentation of art. It witnesses the inheritance of Shoushan stone culture and the development of seal - cutting skills. Moreover, it allows future generations to appreciate the profound charm of traditional culture in the process of touching the stone quality and examining the seal - cutting. Within a square inch, we can observe the circulation and precipitation of thousands of years of culture, becoming a precious bond connecting ancient and modern art and humanity.
