Abstract

Seal engraving has been through many changes and development in sync with history of mankind. The object of expression changed from pattern imprinted in early New Stone Age to iconograph · design · letter, and its usage also changed from utility and token of belief to enjoyment and incantation. Therefore, It was considered as object of expressing Totemism and Shamanism at that time. These changes of usage are closely related to awareness of that time and folk rituals, so it eventually developed into ornamental purposes as wealth · long life · Beoksa · Ap-seung. Especially, the meaning of prayer was strengthened through Iconographic seal, so Taoists of the period of Wei, Qin, North and South Dynasties wore seal engraved <Hwang-sin-wol-jang> when they went mountains for praying to drive away beasts and evil spirits. And this custom raised artistic value of Iconographic seal so it developed into sealing in Won Dynasty and after Ming and Qing Dynasty it systemized into independent art. In other words, there were many changes in usage in the process of establishing independent art system from simple utility. And I found the meaning of Seal engraving and symbolism through form and content of Seal engraving emerged from these process. Therefore, In this paper, I tried to raise the value of Seal engraving as historical legacy developed and changed with history of mankind not just as simple practical, artistic product.
