In the fields of food culture and tourism culture, Dongpo also has a wide and significant influence. Zhu Peier expressed his admiration for Dongpo in the form of seal carving. Zhu Peier is the editor-in-chief of "Chinese Calligraphy" magazine and has long served as the secretary-general of the Chinese Calligraphy and Seal Carving Committee. He has done a lot of work on the development, research, exhibition and popularization of seal carving art. He is very diligent and has a broad vision. Whether it is the creation and research of calligraphy, painting, and seal carving, or the planning and numbering of theoretical topics, all have outstanding achievements. The seal carving works in the "Impressions of Dongpo: Zhu Peier Seal Carving Exhibition" cover Dongpo's poetry, allusions, and fasting numbers. They are only a very small part of Zhu Peier's nearly 10,000 square seal works over the past few decades, but we can see from them. His ideal and pursuit of seal carving. He yearns for a free and easy and far-reaching artistic realm, and pursues an elegant and arbitrary presentation of personality. He especially pays attention to the expression and sway of the knife, and strives to make the inner emotions, temperament, and cultivation, as well as the understanding of poetry and prose, collide between the knife and the stone to produce emotions and present artistic conception. The firm and distant style is no longer limited by the "hardness" of the knife and stone, but because of the special tools and materials of the knife and stone, it is better expressed. Zhu Peier, as one of the representatives of the seal carvers of the 1960s, has been influential in the seal carving world since the late 1980s. His unique style has injected new vitality into contemporary seal carving art in the process of inheriting the excellent traditions of ancient times. He also has high achievements in seal carving theory. His theory is inseparable from practice, and practice is guided by theory. His concept of "seal comes from the knife, and the knife and pen come from the heart" is pioneering and has an important guiding role in practice. The seal carving art issues he cares about are by no means limited to the effects of the seal surface and the seal. His attention and performance to the formation of side notes, stone performance, and the traces of carving between the knife and the stone have broadened the vision of contemporary seal carving art creation and research. He is a seal carving artist who has both artistic and academic achievements, and is close to life, close to the times, and close to tradition.
