Liulichang is an antique street in Beijing which is famous for curio trade. Today, it is become to culture express typical street in Beijng. You may find most old Beijing's culture activities as chiseling seal. In the past, people espacially intellectual and officer have stone seal called "Zhang" in Chinese. It is different from seals today we use. Chiselling characters on a stone like jade and carnelian is not a easy stuff. Not only chisel without mistake, but also chisel beautiful style. It is definitely is a hard skill. So, if you walk on Liulichang, why not chisel one your own seal.
