Wang Qishu, a prominent Huizhou merchant and seal collector during the Qianlong to Jiaqing Period of the Qing Dynasty, and was obsessed with the publishing of seal prints. He published dozens of seal prints in his life, among which the most influential seal prints was “Feihongtang Yinpu”, which included the most seals in the history of Chinese printing. authored “Feihongtang Yinpu” (Catalog of Feihongtang Seals) and “Feihongtang Yinren Zhuan” (Biographies of Seal Artists of Feihongtang). “Feihongtang Yinren Zhuan” is derived from “Feihongtang Yinpu”, and there is academic debate regarding its compilation time, method, and relationship with “Feihongtang Yinpu”. As the first printing book in the history of Chinese printing, the biography of the seal has attracted great attention to the academic circle at present.This study confirms its compilation in the fifty-fourth year of the Qianlong era (1789) containing 126 biographies of seal artists and encompassing 129 individuals, by comparing different versions of “Feihongtang Yinren Zhuan” housed in the National Library of China. Compilation methods identified include commissioned contributions, third-party inquiries, and personal collection efforts. The discrepancy in the number of seal artists recorded compared to “Feihongtang Yinpu” primarily stems from Wang Qishu’s casual approach to compiling, resulting in omissions in the third volume of the seal catalog.
