A couplet calligraphy work must be stamped with at least one seal, and the next paragraph must be stamped with the writer's name seal or font size seal (square). The size of the seal is equal to or smaller than the width of the inscription, generally separated from the last word by one word. The lowest position of the seal is higher than the bottom line of the last word in the text. The seal mentioned in the preceding paragraph is generally stamped on the upper right of the seal.
Extended data:
Inscription, that is, signature, refers to the writing content except the text in calligraphy works. Inscription includes: the source of text content, the object of gift, the reason of creation, the time of creation, the author's name and font size, etc.
There are two signature formats: "double-segment" and "single-segment". In the two paragraphs, the object of the book gift and the writer are placed above and below the text respectively. If there is a previous paragraph but there is no previous paragraph, it is called a single paragraph, which may or may not contain the contents of the previous paragraph. If there are no books to give away, there are only single items.
A single paragraph can be divided into long paragraphs, short paragraphs and poor paragraphs because of different words. A long paragraph refers to adding the author's feelings or reasons for creating this work before the writing time, name and place of the text source. Words should be sincere, meaningful and memorable. It can not only adjust the focus of the work, but also reflect the author's character and cultivation.
A short paragraph only includes the source, time, name and place of the text. If there are many blanks in the work or because of the need of composition, you can leave a long paragraph; If the content of the work occupies the whole picture, it needs to be short or poor. If there is not much paper left and too little blank space, you can just use the author's name as "poor money". The advantage of only losing money is that such works are easy to transfer, exchange and auction.
A complete couplet calligraphy works, in addition to the written words and inscriptions, also includes the seal. The so-called "seal" means seal. Stamping is the third step after writing the text and signing, and it is also the final finishing process. Without a seal, it is not a formal, formal, correct and perfect calligraphy work. Making good use of seals can make couplet calligraphy the finishing touch and add color; On the contrary, it will make the work give up halfway, and all previous efforts will be wasted.
