What is the format reference of hard pen calligraphy?

The format of hard pen calligraphy is also divided into horizontal writing and vertical writing, which is a relatively traditional writing format. The inscription should be at the back of the work, remove the name of the article and the name of the author, and then affix your own seal below. Of course, you can also write the name of the article at the beginning, which is the far right.

Hard-pen calligraphy has nine forms, such as banners, couplets, nave, bucket squares, plaques, banners, fan faces, album pages and hand scrolls. Banners are mainly long strips of calligraphy and painting, folded in half with rice paper and written on them. Our common couplets (couplets) are composed of two banners.
