Scope and Contents

編號 No.:9 材質 Material:石 stone 尺寸 Size:3.62 × 1.50 cm

齋號章。半圆体,较大。邊款刻“一九六四年九月登安刻于西泠印社”。 按:登安即韩登安(1905—1976),原名韩竞,中年以号为名。1932年入西泠印社,曾任西冷印社总干事,浙江文史馆馆员。 Style name seal. Carved by the artisan Deng An (1905-1976) in Hangzhou in 1964. Sheng means to be victorious, rong means scattered or confused, and zi is an appellation for a teacher or master. So this seal perhaps reflects Joseph Needham’s desire to bring order to scattered and confused textual references and ideas. See also NRI2/8/6/2/2.
