The Wen Family Seal Carving Medicine Seal

　　Wen Wei Yi, Deputy Secretary of the Party Group, Deputy Director of the Yilong County Culture and Sports Bureau, and Principal of the Hometown Amateur Seal Carving School, inherited his grandfather’s medical expertise and developed the “Wen Family Seal Carving Medicine Seal,” an art-and-medicine integrated creation capable of treating illnesses and improving health. He was awarded the Sichuan Province Scientific and Technological Achievement Completion Certificate, and his invention patent (93111813.1) was included in the Selected Excellent Chinese Patent Technologies. The seal faces of this carved medicine seal are richly diverse, featuring fitness-related quotes and aphorisms, as well as names, pseudonyms, and pictorial designs. It can be used for calligraphy, painting, book collecting, appreciation, as well as for self-care and treating others’ ailments. Professor Hu Ximing, former Vice Minister of the National Health Department, praised the “Wen Family Seal Carving Medicine Seal” with the inscription: “Seal-carved medicinal stones, guiding energy through stone, refining character and nurturing spirit, healing illness and enhancing health.” The China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care under the Ministry of Health awarded Wen Wei Yi the title of Chinese Specialized Skills Famous Doctor. The seal carving medicine seals were once invited to participate in the “1993 First Bashu Charm” cultural exchange event in Guangzhou. (Yilong County)
