He examines and appreciates the subtleties of art from the perspective of calligraphy culture, and pays attention to the originality of artistic creation. Dai Lao summarized the traditional seal cutting terminology of "dividing red into white" and "calculating red into white" as "the relationship between black and white", that is, the contradiction and unity of black and white (yin and yang), the opposite and complementary, and the harmonious change. This is the core issue of seal cutting art.
