Carved with precision and care, our "Never Too Old to Learn" mood seal bears the inspiring characters "學到老" (Xué Dào Lǎo). This rectangular seal is a badge of honor for the lifelong student. It beautifully asserts that creativity has no expiration date and that the joy of discovery is ageless.
Meaning & Significance The characters "學到老" are derived from the famous Chinese proverb: "Huó dào lǎo, xué dào lǎo" (Live until you are old, learn until you are old).
Xué (學): To learn or study.
Dào (到): Until, or reaching.
Lǎo (老): Old age.
This seal celebrates the spirit of the "forever student." In Chinese culture, wisdom is not just about what you know, but your willingness to continue learning. Stamping this on your artwork declares that you possess a youthful mind and an open heart, ready to absorb new techniques and philosophies regardless of your age.
