During the Qingming season, sacrifice to the ancestors and express sorrow; Get outside, go on a trip, and feel the breath of spring. Yangxian Pavilion, as the first building of the Xiling Seal Society, was a place dedicated to worshipping the deceased Indians in the early years. It is not large in area, the eaves are arched, small and exquisite, the south side enters and exits, is lined with a pair of guardrails, is about one meter high, and there are half round doors on each side for passing through. The open door allows the pavilion to be bathed in the sunshine and rain of the West Lake all year round. Among the works in the collection of Xiling Seal Society, there are many works with the theme of Yangxian Pavilion. Among them, Wang Gequan, who was the vice president of the Xiling Seal Society, wrote the seal book "Yangxian Pavilion", and at first glance, he felt that the simple and majestic atmosphere was blowing in his face. His brushwork is deeply rooted in the essence of Wu Changshuo, and there is innovative development. Looking at its seal book, the lines are concise and elastic, and each stroke is like an ancient rattan coiled, vigorous and powerful. And the honorary president Liu Jiang's seal carving "Yangxian Pavilion" is Zhu Wenyin, and the mottled knife marks show a vigorous and ancient atmosphere.

Today, in the center of Baitang, the site of the Gushan Society of the Xiling Seal Society, there is a screen embedded with a large figure painting "The Ancestors of the Xiling Seal Society", which was created by Wu Yongliang, a member of the Society, in 2003 years. The painting is based on the site of the Gushan Society, and Wu Yongliang sketches the group portraits of the sages with a line of strokes, depicting the four founders of the Printing Society, Ding Ren, Wang Ji, Ye Ming, Wu Yin, and the five presidents before and after, Wu Changshuo, Ma Heng, Zhang Zongxiang, Sha Menghai, and Zhao Puchu. Their expressions are lifelike, and their eyes seem to penetrate the years, telling the glorious history of the Printing Society along the way.

In spring, the weeping willows are gently whisking, and the swallows are shuttling. Feng Zikai, a member of the Xiling Seal Society, writes about the Qingming Festival, which is like a long scroll of customs flowing with innocence and market atmosphere. In the picture, the old man is holding the child and laughing at the girl next to him. "Brother Mo teaches mother-in-law to hug him, and go to the front village to go out." The rustic scene is full of the warmth of life. In this beautiful season, time seems to slow down, and the memories of the past are intertwined with the beauty of the present, blurring a moving picture of fireworks in the world. With just a few brushstrokes, a vivid picture of the Qingming Festival is outlined, and the joy of children playing is vividly on the paper.

In Ni Mogeng's "Coloring Character Axis", the spring is warm and beautiful, and the onions are beautiful. The old trees on the riverside are blooming with new greenery, and their branches and leaves are swaying in the breeze. One cow frolicked in the water, and the other walked slowly in the shallows, as if looking for tender grass and enjoying the spring sunshine. On the bank of the river, children sit safely, their eyes bright and innocent. The companion on the side leaned slightly, perhaps holding the whip in his hand, as if he was shouting softly, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of playfulness. They don't know the troubles of the world, they only know that spring is just right. This scene is in the painting, and the ink rhyme flows, outlining the tranquil beauty of the idyllic song.

One side of the Qingtian stone seal, Hanbu Insha Shunju. Wu Changshuo, the first president of the Xiling Seal Society, engraved the seal "The People of the Xiling Seal Society", which is a six-character Zhu Wenyin. The seal method takes the stone drum bell tripod, and the lines are mottled and thick. When Wu Changshuo engraved this seal for Ge Changying, an early member of the society, at the age of 74, he not only placed expectations on the inheritance of seal studies, but also carried the deep friendship between him and his predecessors in Xiling. This precious stone seal that condenses the profound heritage of Xiling Seal Society is the most vivid footnote to that glorious past. As the iconic symbol of "the world's first society", it makes every printing lover yearn for it.

Huang Binhong, an early member of the club, wrote his calligraphy work "Qingshan Shows Daimei after the Rain", creating a strong literati artistic conception. The agility and elegance of Huang Binhong's calligraphy echo with the landscape and village scenery depicted in the poem, conveying a tranquil and poetic artistic atmosphere, which makes people feel the aesthetic taste of traditional literati.

The literati and artists used printing as a medium and calligraphy and painting to express their affection, and fused the reverence for nature and the remembrance of the sages into a unique solar term aesthetics. When the spring breeze blows through the lonely mountain, those poems engraved on the gold and stone and the pen and ink flowing between the rice paper are still continuing to write the praise of life that "the air is clear and the scenery is bright, and all things are revealed".
