2. Inscription: In ancient times, letters, calligraphy and paintings all had inscriptions. When giving gifts, the name and year were written vertically with a brush to show the giver and the recipient. This is also a form of expression of calligraphy art. A calligraphy work should be completed in a holistic sense, and the inscription can show the accomplishment and talent of a calligrapher. Nowadays, many people sign official documents and notes, which are generally written horizontally, indicating that they have legal effect.
