Hu Jue's seal carving has a sparse and natural layout and quiet temperament. This seal is one of his masterpieces. It is engraved with the full text of the 324 words of Preface to the Orchid Pavilion with carving on the sides, and on the top of the seal stone is inscribed with Wu Zheng's painting of Lanting Winding Stream, which not only increases the multifaceted elements of the seal, but also demonstrates the author's versatile art accomplishment.
