青田印石千秋譽，誰見燈光勝月光。6月28日，由中國印學博物館、杭州青田印石藝術(shù)館主辦的“國寶燈光凍印石展”在中國印學博物館開展，共展出青田石雕研究院院長夏可承收藏的近百年來出礦的珍品燈光凍印石百余方。

“這次展覽展出的燈光凍印石，夏可承得之絕非易事?！敝麜ㄗ碳覐埜凑f，“在我刻過的印材里，青田燈光凍是刀感最佳、最讓人得心應(yīng)手?！?/p>

燈光凍印石，素有“印石之祖”美譽，系中華“印石三寶”之一。大收藏家吳湖帆先生曾感慨：世傳燈光凍為石章中至寶。燈光凍稀罕難得，坊間流傳“田黃易得，燈光難求”之語。

青田燈光凍雖名震印壇、譽滿華夏，但真正見識過極品、上品級燈光凍印石的人卻不多，那么，真正高端的燈光凍的面相如何？在此借用西泠印社理事余正的詩《題燈光凍石》來作答：“春雨初足，明澤凝脂。云煙淡月，如幻如詩。天地造化，精華聚斯。不敢久視，恐惹相思?！?/p>

On June 28， 2018， an exhibition of over 100 seal stones was launched at China Seal Art Museum in Hangzhou， jointly organized by China Seal Art Museum and Hangzhou Qingtian Seal Stone Art Museum. All the exhibits are from a private collection of Xia Kecheng， director of Qingtian Stone Carving Institute. All the seal stones on display are called Light Stones unearthed over the past 100 years or so. The trainees attending the Training of Trainers Workshop on Intangible Cultural Heritage for Facilitators from the Asia-Pacific in Hangzhou， in early July， visited the exhibition and wowed at the beauty of the stones. “The collection came together through Xias tremendous painstaking efforts. Of all the seal stones I have engraved， Light Stones from Qingtian are the best. They feel the best under the tip of the carving knife and they give me the best response，” commented Zhang Gengyuan， a prominent calligrapher and seal engraver.

Art of seal engraving is a special art phenomenon in China. Seal stones from Qingtian are in one of the five top categories of seal stones of China. Light Stones are arguably the top of all the stones in the five categories. The stones are called light stones because they appear translucent and extremely beautiful in the candle light.
