According to the commonly used size, the brush can be simply divided into: lower case, middle case and upper case. The bigger ones are screen pen, couplet pen, bucket pen, pen planting and so on. The small, medium and large pens of the brush are used to write small, medium and large characters respectively.
Generally speaking, words the size of broad beans are called small characters, words the size of spades are called Chinese characters, and words bigger than spades are called big characters. In ancient times, letters were written with small and medium pens.
Matters needing attention in writing couplets
1, the first is the paper.
Spring Festival couplets used in festive occasions are all red paper, which can be bought in online stores from now on. If it is a gate in the city, it is most appropriate to choose a seven-character couplet or a five-character couplet. The rural gate is relatively large, and you can use more than seven words until eleven words.
Online stores generally have dark prints. When you write, you can write directly according to this, and you have to fold your own cut paper and finally splice it into the required length.
2, the choice of font.
What needs to be emphasized here is that it is best not to write Spring Festival couplets as calligraphy works. If you are a calligrapher, try not to show too much artistry and be neat. : Most people like running script. This script is easy to recognize and has the feeling of flowing. It is very popular among the people. If you have a good understanding of the preface to the holy teachings, you'd better use it directly, but you can also write it in other languages, such as regular script, Weibei script and official script. Try to write beautifully.
3. Writing ink.
At present, some manufacturers have produced ink suitable for writing Spring Festival couplets. This product can be written directly without dilution. It has very good consistency and writing sense, and the color is very bright. They are sold in online stores and can be purchased together with couplets. If the weather is too cold, you should write indoors at a higher temperature, otherwise the ink consistency will increase and it will not pull up, which will affect the level.
