Similar to China pledge, there are other titles such as China pledge, money pledge, signature, signature and agency pledge. These appellations have similar meanings, and all have the functions of expressing identity, responsibility and trust, so they become vague and often mixed. The same is true today, except that the word with "pledge" was discarded and used as "signature" and "signature". Now all we have to do is mention "signature", which sometimes means "artistic signature". In fact, the term "artistic signature" is not accurate enough. The most accurate term should be "signature design".
So what exactly is "flower gambling"?
"bet" is interpreted by Kangxi dictionary as "bet, say, write and do." The Chinese Dictionary explains: "Sign or draw symbols on official documents or contracts as evidence. It also refers to the signature or drawn symbol. " It can be seen that "taking the lead" means drawing, writing and painting, that is, the action itself refers to the result of the action. During Liu Han's Northern and Southern Dynasties, the word "pledge" was popular, such as officials replying to official documents and writing "promise" or "rely on". Biography of the Later Han Dynasty contains: "Nanyang painted" infinite "for princes, and History of Northern Qi contains:" Mutipo and others sold officials and begged for books and letters. Much like the word "agree" today. Ordinary people can't read and haven't dealt with writing brushes all their lives, so symbols are used instead of Chinese characters. This originated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and has many symbols. The most common thing is to draw a "ten" or simply draw a "χ". After history entered the Tang Dynasty, common names were written in grass. Ye Mengde's Misty Rain in the Stone Forest says: "In the early Tang Dynasty, cursive script was named as a private note", and Ouyang Xiu's Return to the Field says: "The custom takes cursive script as a token." Hong Mai's "Five Paintings of Rongzhai" also said: "Those who use ancient books as titles should apply them to literary records to prove themselves."
"Flowers" refers to flowers and patterns. "Gambling on flowers" means painting a person's name in a flower-like pattern, and "spend a little on his name". Its name comes from a decorative font in the Southern and Northern Dynasties-"Hua Shu" (also known as "Feng Shu"). Why are there flowers gambling? The reason is that "in order to prevent rape and identification forgery or for some other purpose, I have to deliberately sign my name so that people can't understand it, and it is difficult to identify it (not illegible), but it is my name after all, and it is also beautiful." The colorful cloud in Wei Li is one of the most famous flowers in history, so that people think it is the source of flowers. "The Legacy of Dongguan" contains: "It is said in the Tang Dynasty that Emperor Wen ordered civil servants to play the true grass, but the name should not be grass. Later generations were named after grass flowers, and Wei Wei Wuyun also. " Song Zhou Mi's Miscellaneous Knowledge of Xingui also said: "The ancients used words, which were called flower seals, and spent a little on their names, such as Wei Wei Wu Yun." During the Tang and Song Dynasties, flower names prevailed and became fashionable in officialdom.
For thousands of years, through the continuous creation and beautification of calligraphers of past dynasties and the continuous enrichment of the people, the connotation of Washington has become richer and richer, which has far exceeded its literal meaning. Its forms of expression and skills tend to be diversified, and gradually formed a set of regulations and rules. With the gradual improvement of aesthetic and appreciation concepts, it is born out of a single means of relying on letter anti-counterfeiting and the performance skills attached to calligraphy art, and has developed into a new plastic art with compatibility of practicality and artistry, that is, "signature". Today, designing signatures is a fashion and a social atmosphere. The fundamental reason lies in the wide practicability of signature, which is the basis of the existence of "signature design" from its own name. Unlike others, the signer turns complex strokes into one or two strokes, which aims at speed and beautification, publicizes personality, prevents fraud and distinguishes fakes, and has no preventive effect. "Five Paintings of Rongzhai" says: "Words are written in the heart, and people must remember them." Emphasis is placed on the anti-counterfeiting of signatures. The flower oath focuses on the word "flower". How can "flowers" be "beautiful" How to "flower" is "beauty"? This is the center of signature design today. In addition to practicality, the designed signature is more important to seek beauty, convey personality and enhance image.
Signature design is a Chinese character art derived from calligraphy, which is a variation and breakthrough of calligraphy. It is an art of creative design according to the structural characteristics and significance of Chinese characters with names.
