How to write calligraphy works

Calligraphy works are written in different ways: the content is divided into white lines, inscriptions and seals.

The branch layout varies according to the style, content, style and length of the book, with many words and limited space. The book is a vigorous opening style. In this case, we should pay attention to the dense and full layout, crowded and disorderly. The vertical spacing of official script is wider than that of horizontal regular script, and some branches are also painted with vermicelli bars (painted with brush or duckbill pen) or with beautiful font styles. Regular script also has dense white cloth, and the branches of Yan characters are too dense, which can cause crowding. The white cloth is even in vertical and horizontal directions, and the style is beautiful and sparse. More attention should be paid to font size, oblique strokes and opening and closing changes. Vertical and horizontal cursive scripts are disordered due to the intricate changes such as density, dislocation, wear, danger, opening and closing. Moreover, the layout and density of lines are changed according to people's wishes. Ancient calligraphy works are written vertically, but only with plaques and horizontal bars. Inscription, fan inscription, article title, etc. They are also written horizontally, starting from right to left, and the requirements for white lines and vertical writing are generally the same.

Although the inscription and seal are attached to the content of a calligraphy work, they are an organic and important part of a calligraphy work, which plays a role in changing the picture and filling in the blank. Some works often destroy the whole system and perfect layout of the works because they don't pay enough attention to inscriptions and seals.

The caption of calligraphy works includes time, place, author's name, and who wrote the content.

The content of the title is divided into single and double paragraphs, and there are also simple and complex single paragraphs, only the author's name or time; In traditional Chinese characters, the author of the poem (including the inscription) writes the name of the year, month, place or study, including the recipient's name, letter, right and wrong, correction, wrist, etc. They are all used in calligraphy style, which is better than the lower case text on the left. There are many words in the text, but there are many words in the text. The layout of the text is also large and sparse. The words in the text are small and tight, but the distance between the title and the name and seal is smaller and more symmetrical. The place under the name and the seal should extend beyond the bottom line of the text. Leave half a word or limit the position after writing the text. The title should simply have the name, year and seal or just the name and seal.

Although the seal is small, no one cares, but calligraphy works can set off the atmosphere, adjust the layout, increase changes, and play the role of finishing touch. Some works have good words and titles, and the perfect layout of composition will be affected and destroyed because of improper handling or skew of seals, or proper location or size.

There are two kinds of seals: name seal and leisure seal. The author's name or single name or alias is printed in the blank space below or next to his name. The user or both parties will name the spaces according to the size of the spaces below. Two-thirds of the top will be stamped, and both sides will be stamped, and the blank space next to it will be larger. The contents of leisure stamps on the left often entrust the author's thoughts, feelings and artistic opinions, which is helpful for the audience to understand the author's works. In fact, leisure stamps are rich in content. The blank space of the title stamp is also called the footprint stamp. The seal is square, round, oval or regular, and the size of the name stamp should be consistent with the size of the work and the size of the book. Leisure stamps are slightly larger because they are commensurate with the size of words and books. In short, it should be coordinated with the layout of the whole work. The seal is divided into Zhu and Bai (there are also half Zhu and half Bai). Zhu Wenyang's seal is engraved in yin or yang, and the layout needs to be in yin and white.
