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.
