The ancient people called the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall of nave in the living room. If it is a nave with calligraphy works, it is usually a fully opened or slightly smaller banner, which can be hung separately or double-sided couplets. Generally, they are written vertically, and most of them only write a single big character like Fushou, and then they are accompanied by couplets related to the written words.

The most common formats are four-legged integral and four-legged split. Four-foot folio is mainly composed of four-character works, and the whole four-foot folio is mainly composed of long poems such as Song Ci. Other sizes are extremely rare.
3. Couplets
It is often said that couplets are generally divided into upper couplets and lower couplets, with upper couplets on the right and lower couplets on the left. Their size can be the same as that of banners, but they can also be larger or smaller. There are strict requirements when writing couplets, such as five words and seven words, but in fact there are only three words at least and hundreds at most. If there are intersections or more, it is best to write them in branches.
