Side carving
Side carving () is a form of traditional seal carving techniques that originated in the ancient China. It was later introduced to other countries in East Asia and has gained popularity among contemporary seal artists from regions including Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, etc. It mainly focuses on developing pattern design skills and techniques applied to the carving of side surfaces of a seal, which distinguishes itself as a unique carving technique from knob carving (head part) and face carving (bottom part). It decorates the side surfaces of seals with literal or pictorial stuffs.〔(Side engraving of a seal )〕
== History ==
The history of such art can be traced back to as early as Late Zhou and Qin Dynasties, when the government or official seals had some short notations on their side surfaces, indicating the owner of the seal (by engraving the owner's name), the maker of the seal (by engraving the craftsman's name), the date of making this seal. But during those periods, such notations appeared only occasionally and were normally very brief.
In the Late Yuan Dynasty, such art style became more popular, accompanying with the appearance of some great and specialized seal artists, such as Wang Mien (王冕).
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the seal engraving art was commonly seen. The art became prosperous first in Mid and Late Ming Dynasty, when the scholar-artists became dominant in southeast China.
