The explanation on the encyclopedia is a relatively complete expression of the art of calligraphy.
The main styles of calligraphy works include nave, banner, horizontal drapery, couplet, plaque, long scroll and fan surface, etc.
Generally speaking, calligraphy works consist of main text and text. The text has three appearance forms: 1. Vertical rows and horizontal columns; 2. Vertical columns and horizontal rows (or vertical columns and horizontal rows); 3. Vertical rows and horizontal columns. In the text, the font should be smaller than the main text, the calligraphy can be consistent or different from the main text, and the style should be coordinated with the main text. From a micro perspective, calligraphy should pay attention to the lines and structure of the characters as well as the organization and emotion of the entire work. Calligraphy works are divided into soft pens and hard pens, that is, brushes and fountain pens, etc., and they are also divided into "style", such as regular script, official script, etc.
Calligraphy works can also be divided into copying and creation, but I am afraid there is no unique and clear definition of "real" calligraphy works.
