Zhu Guantian (Vice President of Xiling Seal Society).
In 2023, the Xiling Seal Society held a celebration meeting for the 120th anniversary of the founding of the Society in Hangzhou. Looking back on the history of 120 years, Xiling Seal Society has made unremitting efforts in cultural inheritance and innovation, academic research and expansion, etc., and has become a golden business card of Hangzhou, which is the result of the joint efforts of generations of Xiling colleagues under the direct leadership of the Propaganda Department of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee. In the new year, I hope that the colleagues of the Printing Society will continue to continue the spirit of the sages and create new achievements. I sincerely wish the majority of members and friends from all walks of life good health and all the best.
Chen Zhenlian (Vice President and Secretary-General of Xiling Seal Society).
2023 is the year of the 120th anniversary of Xiling Seal Society. Through the grand celebration of the society, we reviewed the main history of the Xiling Centennial Famous Society and the distinctive footprints of several historical stages, sorted out our development in the past 20 years, and displayed a number of achievements we have made.
As an academic art group specializing in contemporary Chinese gold and stone seal carving, we have carried out diverse and comprehensive three-dimensional research and promotion for "modern gold and stone science", ancient seal seals, Ming and Qing seal carving and today's world seal history and "Belt and Road" seal creation, and basically formed several key sections of "big seal science". Xiling Seal Society has become a well-deserved "benchmark" in the contemporary gold and stone seal carving industry. In the future, we will do more to promote the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative and the strategy of "Chinese culture going global", as well as the new development concepts of "modernization of traditional culture" and "Chinese-style modernization", so as to generate more choices and promote high-quality expansion.
The development plan of Xiling Seal Society in 2024 has been formed in text and approved by the board of directors. In the future, around the "modernization of traditional culture" and "Chinese-style modernization", we will have more innovations in gold and stone, seal carving, calligraphy, painting, poetry and literature, etc., so that the century-old famous society is full of vitality. I believe that in the new year, Xiling Seal Society will be able to create more brilliant achievements, so as to become the cultural benchmark of the times and an important banner of traditional art in contemporary times.
Li Gangtian (Vice President of Xiling Seal Society).
In 2023, Xiling Seal Society will celebrate its 120th anniversary. The vicissitudes of a hundred years old, after several ups and downs, but the old trees and new flowers, Xiling Seal Society is still full of vitality. With the mission of preserving gold and stones, researching seals, and calligraphy and painting, the Printing Society has inherited thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture and has been widely supported by the society and has been able to flourish. Under the new historical conditions, the Printing Society is facing new opportunities and challenges. In the new year, the members of the Indian Society will work with one heart and one mind, take advantage of the east wind of the times, show the new atmosphere of Indian studies in the new era, and continue to contribute to the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

Over the past 120 years, the colleagues of Xiling Seal Society have been based on the purpose of the Seal Society, carried forward the culture of Seal Studies, continued to inherit the cultural context, and provided a steady stream of vitality for the development of the Xiling Seal Society. At a new starting point, how to develop and expand the cause of Xiling Seal Society is the responsibility and mission of Xiling colleagues.

Fan Zhenghong (Deputy Secretary-General of Xiling Seal Society).
In 2023, Xiling Seal Society will be 120 years old, and it has left a strong mark in the cultural history of modern times with its unique style. The Xiling Seal Society is unusual, and it is difficult for ordinary ideas to create this world-famous society. 2023 is the year of the 120th anniversary of the Xiling Seal Society, and a series of social celebration exhibitions and activities fully demonstrate the cultural, academic and artistic height of the Xiling Seal Society, and focus on showing the style of the Xiling Seal Society. 2024 is the year of Jiachen, and Wu Changshuo, the first president of Xiling Seal Society, was born in the year of Jiachen, and he once engraved a seal, called "Xiongjiachen", in order to vision Jiachen. It is believed that the Xiling Seal Society will be stronger than Jiachen, and will play a more brilliant and majestic movement on the road of continuing the Chinese cultural context and promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture.
