Small knowledge of calligraphy inscription

Calligraphy signature

The inscription and postscript refers to the author's signature, seal, year, month, porch number, etc. The main content of the painting and calligraphy works is completed to show the integrity of the works.

Signature type

Single paragraph:

Also called the next paragraph, it is the author's own title. After the work is completed, it must be inscribed as a sign of courtesy and responsibility to the work.

Small paragraph: simply sign your name or year, but don't exceed a cross.

A font: If there is a useful word in the calligraphy inscription, it is called a font.

A two-word paragraph: only sign the author's name, if one word is the title of the book.

Three fields: most books have their own names. If there is a name, add one more word [book].

Four fields: mostly name followed by [book] or name plus year number, and year number is mostly dry.

Five fields: add one year to the name of more than five words or add one year to the name of two words, and add [book] below.

Six fields: among the six words, three words are added with one year or two words are added with one year and one month; The moon has many uses.

Seven-character paragraph: in seven characters, the year and month are added with the name of the word, or the word [book] is added to the name of the word.

Long paragraph: that is, in addition to the year, month and name, more words are added in the inscription in order to change, balance the work, fill in the gaps and write the author's feelings.

Those who add the author's name and the author's place name. Place names are useful today, such as Qing, Wu Changshuo, Anji, Zhejiang, etc., and are often used in the inscription [Anji Wucang Stone].

Those who add the author's words or other names, such as: Qing, Wu Changshuo, original name, original word Cang Shi, commonly used [Cang] and so on. There are many nicknames.

If the author's official name is added, ancient people will also add official titles to the inscriptions, especially in the Tang Dynasty. Ou Yangxun's book, for example, was signed with the inscription of Liquan in Jiucheng Palace (and the Prince led the Bohai Secretary Ou Yangxun to give the book).

Two models:

Double paragraph: in addition to the single paragraph, add the name, title, position and honorific words of the recipient.

Recipient's name: it is more respectful to others to use the name. If there is no font name, you can use the first name, but it is best not to use the last name. The official titles of recipients were commonly used in ancient times, such as "observing adults" and "Ge Lao". Today, teachers are called "teachers", "principals" and "professors".

Recipient title: if the recipient is related to the author; Elders often use [in-laws] and [in-laws]. Honorific words: such as elegance, elegance, elegance, elegance, elegance, elegance, elegance, elegance, elegance, elegance, elegance.

Heavenly stems and earthly branches chronology method

For example, this year is Ding You, then the year after that is the Reform Movement of 1898, the year after that is Jihai, and so on. (Note: The calligraphy signature cannot be "Ding Younian", but only Ding You or Ding You. Ding Younian doesn't conform to the statutes, and he can also sign the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China or 20 17, but the latter is not as beautiful as in ancient times)

Taboos for signing seals

Calligraphy and painting should be signed and sealed, and the seal should not be larger than the word. Of course, it is natural to stamp a big seal and a small seal.

Chinese painting is stamped under the lettering, down to the bottom corner, and corner seal is not allowed. For example, the upper right corner and the lower left corner can be stamped with leisure chapters, the upper left corner and the lower right corner. If the above words are printed near the lower corner, there is no need to stamp the leisure stamp.

Chinese painting banners are inscribed with two corners at the left and right ends, and it is not enough to just stamp a chapter. Square leisure stamp can be affixed to the upper right corner, square leisure stamp can be affixed to the lower left corner and square leisure stamp can be affixed to the lower right corner. If there is no need to stamp a leisure stamp here, it will be self-defeating if you barely stamp it.

Rectangular, circular, rectangular leisure chapter, can not cover the square corner of the leisure chapter in the lower corner.

You can't cover the square-inch leisure chapter on the upper edge of calligraphy and painting, otherwise, you will pretend to be the master.

Chinese painting is engraved in a straight line, and the characters at the end of the line are different from other lines, so it can't be neat, and so is the seal.

There are two seals, one round for each side, which can't match. Isomorphic printing can match.

Stamp two seals, one large and one small, which can't match, but the same size can match.

Two seals, one rectangular and one oval, don't match. Isomorphic printing can match.

Under the seal, you can't sign any more. If there is a word constraint on the seal, the natural phenomenon will be lost.

Calligraphy and painting have been stamped with a signature stamp, and you can't give it to others after signing it, otherwise it is disrespectful.

Flower heads, bird tails, branches and hills are not allowed to be stamped. This is the painter's basic common sense, which is indispensable.

Artisans carve seals, which cannot be used for calligraphy and painting. Artists need to carve seals, and the carved lithographs are the best.

Ordinary inkpad, not suitable for painting and calligraphy, should use Babao inkpad.

Cover it with two seals, not too far or too close, only one seal apart.

Seal, seal, composition and knife method are different and cannot be matched. Carve the seal with the same knife method.

Don't paint limericks, for one thing, the knower makes fun of them, and for another, the works are vulgar.

You can't put a stamp on the top of the preceding paragraph, and it is on the head of the person's name. People are taboo. One is impolite, and the other is to destroy the picture.

The corner stamp should not be too small. The rice paper is surrounded by square stone prints, about three centimeters, which is relatively moderate.

Cover the corner, but not both sides, one side is just right. The distance between the seal and the edge is about 1. Five centimeters is moderate.

Except in special circumstances, the inscription does not need to be stamped, but should be covered around the inscription and separated from the line to become a painting.

Don't stamp the calligraphy and painting, it will become a huge bomb, destroy the beautiful picture and make people look terrible.

Small paintings can't be written in big characters, and big paintings can't be written in small characters. Small space can't have more inscriptions, and large space can't have fewer inscriptions.

The name of a painting and calligraphy should not be stamped more than three times, but should be stamped twice or printed properly.

Calligraphy and painting cannot be stamped at will. It is better to cover less than not properly, and it is best not to cover the seal with bad ink.

Cover two seals, don't stagger them, how to cover them, how to use force and how to maintain the seal inkpad are all problems that can't be ignored.

You can't write vulgar words on a painting, which will affect the aesthetic feeling of the picture, so it can't be avoided.

The first picture of calligraphy is in quadruplicate, the first small long chapter can be covered on the upper right, and the rest can't be covered. If it is covered, the gas will go out.

(Note: Don't use the machine to engrave the seal. The plastic seal is too artistic. The name seal should be written in white, and the spare seal, fasting seal and collection seal should be written in Zhu. )

I hope it will help everyone!
