The standard sizes of buckets of different sizes are also different. The sizes can be divided into three-foot buckets, four-foot buckets, five-foot buckets, six-foot buckets and eight-foot buckets. The specific standards are as follows:
Three-foot square: 50×55 (standard three-foot 100×55 rice paper length is 1/2, width remains unchanged).
Four-foot square: 69×68 (standard four-foot 138×69 rice paper length 1/2).
Five-foot cube: 77×84 (standard five-foot 153×84 rice paper length is 1/2, width remains unchanged).
Six-foot cube: 90×97 (standard six-foot 180×97 rice paper length is 1/2, width remains unchanged).
Eight-foot square: 124 (cm) × 124 (cm) (standard eight-foot: 248x129).
A dou is a measuring tool with a square mouth. The traditional measurement of meters is measured by a dou. The origin of the name Doufang is the borrowing of the shape of the mouth of Dou. The size of the whole paper of four-foot rice paper is 4 feet by 8 feet. If it is divided into two squares, it will be 4 feet per square. The side length is 2 feet and the area is 4 square feet. It can also be made in small sizes, such as 1 foot per cubic meter, 1 foot long on a side, and 1 square foot in area. The fight should be square. If it is not square, it may be that the cutting is not accurate enough. Sometimes the length-to-width size ratio of the rice paper is not standard enough, resulting in the cut squares not being standard either.
Introduction to the douban square format
1. Manuscript style
This is a form evolved from ordinary writing of diaries, letters, manuscripts, etc. The layout of the work With the pauses and transitions of the text content, it is divided into several parts. The blocks of space form naturally, and the remaining white space in the middle is the breath between the lines. If there are any alterations, the tightness and tightness between the lines should be coordinated to make it an "unintentional" embellishment or an "unexpected" change.
2. Contrast style
Through changes in expression techniques, the written content is divided into several blocks to form gradients, contrasts, interlacing, overlaps, echoes, etc., to achieve rich changes and outstanding Emphasis effect. This change can mainly be carried out from the aspects of shade, size, thickness, density, oddity, verticality and horizontality, calligraphy style, etc. This is by no means a local control between a word or a line, but an overall control between blocks.
3. Painting style
Chinese painting signatures need to fit in with the picture and are not bound by calligraphy programs, so it is easy to create unexpected and unique effects. The top and bottom of the text are scattered unevenly or off to one side. The layout is flexible and jumpy, closely linked, and leaves a lot of white space. The virtual and the real are intertwined and set off, creating a simple, ethereal, loose and free artistic conception. .
