Question 1: Do you need to engrave your own name on the calligraphy seal? Calligraphy seals are particular. The seal on a calligraphy work is an indispensable part of the calligraphy work. Without the seal, it would not be a complete calligraphy work. The seal was originally a token of trust and served as a confirmation. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, due to the emphasis on calligraphy, painting, inscriptions and signatures, calligraphers gradually realized the artistic role of seals and paid attention to playing this role in calligraphy works, so that the art of combining calligraphy and seal was formed. The contrast between calligraphy and printing not only adds color to calligraphy works, enlivens the atmosphere, and has the effect of "icing on the cake", but can also adjust the focus, remedy deficiencies in layout, and stabilize and balance the work. Signing and sealing calligraphy works can show solemnity and prevent forgery; stamping with elegant and meaningful leisure seals can also express the ambition and taste of the calligrapher. Therefore, calligraphers have always attached great importance to the use of seals, and even engraved them themselves, so that the calligraphy and seals can be organically combined to produce a more beautiful and stronger artistic appeal. ……*……*. Several kinds of seals commonly used in calligraphy works (1) Name stamp. The name stamp is the seal used to sign the inscription. Some names are connected together and some are separated. The inscription and seal should be written with one name and one character, or one surname and one name. The name of the money is printed; the name of the money is printed with a name stamp. If the payment has a surname, a name seal can be used. If the payment does not have a surname, or if the payment is not signed, a name seal should be used to facilitate identification of the author. The ancients paid attention to etiquette when using seals; when a humble child writes to an elder, a name seal should be used; among ordinary people, a character seal should be used; when an elder writes to a humble child, a special name seal should be used. On the contrary, it will make people laugh. Zhang Daqian, a modern calligrapher and painter, believes that "square is the best shape for name stamps, and round is okay. If the waist is round, the natural shape is not suitable." Name stamps are generally divided into two types: Zhu Wen (Yang Wen) and Bai Wen (Yin Wen). When there are two name seals on a calligraphy work, it is best to have one in red and one in white, and the two chapters should be of appropriate size. When multiple chapters are used at the end of the payment, the order is the name seal first, then the word and number seals. (2) Xian Zhang Xian Zhang is also called the layout chapter, including the leading chapter, the side seal, the corner seal and the waist seal. 1. Introductory Chapter The introductory chapter is a seal stamped on the upper right side of a calligraphy work. It is also called a "shaped seal". It is a seal carved according to the shape of the stone. It is generally not suitable to be square, but semi-open or rectangular. , round, semi-circular, gourd-shaped, natural shape, zodiac shape, etc. are better. Whether the initial seal should be stamped on the calligraphy work depends on the needs. If the initial seal is too neat, it needs to be "broken"; the final seal is too heavy and needs to be "upgraded"; the distribution of seals on the work is monotonous and needs to be "adjusted". This is An initial seal should be considered. The introductory chapter can be divided into the following types according to its content: (1) Zhaihaozhang The Zhaihaozhang of the Tang Dynasty began with the jade seal of the residence of Li Miduan, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, this trend became more and more popular, and almost every calligrapher had a Zhai title seal. Wen Zhengming, a calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Many of my bookstores are built on seals." Zhai names are usually called Zhai, hall, room, building, pavilion, pavilion, xuan, nunnery, etc., such as Weiqingzhai, Xuexitang, Mo Sword Room, Xiaoyin Tower, Songfeng Pavilion, Laiguan Pavilion, Shangyu Pavilion, Lotte Temple, etc. (2) Elegant and Interesting Chapters are the ancient auspicious sayings and phrases chapters. Most of them have meanings and are full of elegant taste. They may be a collection of philosophical and thought-provoking idioms and aphorisms, or record your own interests and feelings. The elegant and interesting chapters have a wide range of content and encourage people to learn, such as "carry out", "learn from the past", "bookworm", "be good at diligence", "art has no limit", "learn from the past but not learn from the past", "learn widely" , "Reading books is a pleasure", "People who love to learn will be wise", "Long-term accumulation and accidental acquisition", etc.; there are expressions of feelings, such as "relying on virtue", "clear ambition", "pure interest", "happy and healthy", "Bliss in suffering", "Cherish the Yin", "Ruzi Niu", "Jade Clean Bingqing", "Indifferent Tianqu", "Laoji Fufang", etc.; there are expressions of the interest of pen and ink, such as "splashing ink", "pen farming", "Xiangtian", "Divine interest", "Hidden clumsiness", "Addicted to this", "Xinyu hand pursuit", "Business in the inkstone field", etc.; there are auspicious wishes, such as "fulfillment", "long happiness", "beautiful and immortal", " "Auspicious days and good times", "Life is long and prosperous", "Shuhan has longevity", "Eternal and everlasting", etc. (3) The year stamp is used to record the age of calligraphy works, such as Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin or 19***, 1990, 1980s, 1990s, etc. (4) Month number seal: used to record the month order of calligraphy works, such as Shangchun, Ruyue, Silkworm Moon, etc. 1. Bianbianzhang: Bianbianzhang refers to the seal that is stamped on one side of a calligraphy work, which plays the role of blocking the edge and gathering energy. 2. Corner seal The seal stamped on the corner of a calligraphy work is called a corner seal. The upper right corner is called "Yingshou", and the two lower corners are called "Yijiao". The edge seal can only be used on one side; the corner seal can be used on both sides. It closes to the corner and plays the role of "blocking the edge and sealing the corners", "filling the void" and adjusting and stabilizing the picture. 3. For long calligraphy works such as banners, if there is only an initial seal on the upper right and the center looks empty, a waist seal can be added. The content is mostly the place of origin of the calligrapher, and the calligrapher's zodiac sign can also be used. .....>>
Question 2: What characters are most commonly engraved on calligraphy seals? The seals collected by each calligrapher mainly include: famous seals with yin and yang seals, font size seals (optional), introduction seals, Border seals, corner seals, and collection seals can also be retained if you are interested in collecting them. Hope this helps the questioner!
Question 3: What does a calligraphy seal generally look like? The principle of sealing is that it should generally not be larger than the inscribed characters, and it should be small rather than large. A large seal will be inelegant. Generally speaking, a work cannot be printed too much. It is necessary to leave enough blank space so that the work can "breathe". The printing is embellished and cannot overwhelm the main image, so it should be few and small.
The place for sealing is: the introduction stamp is stamped on the top of the work. The left side between the first and second characters of the text should not be too far away from the first line of the text of the work. line) is appropriate. The method of stamping the name seal is to stamp one or a pair right below the signature; or stamp a pair on the left side of the signature, that is, stamp one on the left side of the lower middle position of the signature, and stamp another one on the lower left side of the last character. You can also At the same time, the two seals each hold down half a line of words, but most of the seals should be exposed to the outside (to the left of the signature). Mainly arranged according to the needs of the overall work. A pair of seals should be roughly the same size. It is also necessary that one side is Yin (white characters on a red background) and the other is Yang (red characters on a white background). The distance between the two seals cannot be the diameter of the small print on the one side. If the Yin seal is stamped below the signature, the distance from the last character of the signature cannot be greater than The diameter of the print. Moreover, the seal used for calligraphy must be in seal script, not the modern imitation Song style seal. This is just a general situation, and sometimes it can be changed according to the situation. As for the leisure seal (it is a general small seal, the content is a poem, idiom, phrase, or other small shape), this should be used sparingly, and it should be small. If it is used well, it will be the finishing touch. If it is not used well, the whole work will be ruined. How to use it is quite flexible and you have to reconsider it according to the situation.
Question 4: What words should be engraved on the calligraphy seal? Things to note when stamping calligraphy works: Generally, one red seal and one white seal can be used for signature. The principle of Zhu first and then White should be followed. The location should be covered under the signature. It is best not to stamp your name and alias at the same time. If they are to be sealed at the same time, the name should be printed on the top and the alias should be printed on the bottom. If the composition requires it, an introductory chapter can be added between the first and second words of the opening chapter. The text that introduces the chapter should have a certain connection with the content of the article. Usually it is a long or follow-up print. The seals of calligraphy are divided into name seals, presser seals, opening chapters, and leisure seals. Among them, the leisure seal is stamped in a relatively empty position, including the latter two. Seal writing has little to do with the text of calligraphy. Since it is called seal cutting, it must be written in seal script. Of course, seal script also includes large seal script and small seal script. Large seal script is divided into oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, etc. Generally, relatively straight fonts such as seal script, official script and regular script should be signed in cursive script. When writing calligraphy with a seal, the seal should not be larger than the characters. It is natural to put a big seal on a large area and a small seal on a small area. Rectangular, round, and oblong seals cannot be placed on the lower corner of the square seal. The square seal cannot be placed on the blank space at the top of the calligraphy and painting, otherwise it will take over the place. Two seals, one square and one round, cannot match. Same-shaped prints can be matched. Two seals, one large and one small, cannot match. Same size available to match. Two seals, one rectangular and one oval, cannot match. Same-shaped prints can be matched. No inscriptions are allowed after the signature is signed and sealed. If there are restrictions on the upper and lower parts of the seal, the natural phenomenon will be lost. Once the payment has been made, the calligraphy and painting have been stamped, it is not allowed to make another payment as a gift after the payment has been made, otherwise it will be disrespectful. Flower heads, bird tails, branches, and mountain tops cannot be stamped or stamped. This is the most basic common sense for painters and must be understood. Craftsman-engraved seals cannot be used for calligraphy and painting. Artistic seal artists are required. Ordinary ink pads are not suitable for calligraphy and painting. Babao ink pads must be used. When sealing two seals, the distance should not be too far or too close, but should be one seal apart. The two seals have different seals, seals, and sword techniques and cannot be matched. The seal must be carved with the same knife technique. Don't put a leisure seal on the top of the money. People are very taboo about putting it on a person's name. Firstly, it's disrespectful, and secondly, it ruins the picture. The stamped corner seal should not be too small. It is more appropriate to use a square stone seal on four sides of the rice paper, about three centimeters. When stamping the corner stamp, do not stamp on two sides, one side is just right. The distance between the seal and the edge is about one. Five centimeters is moderate. There is no seal under the inscription, but it is stamped on the left and right sides of the inscription, separated from the line of inscription, and becomes an object outside the painting, except in special circumstances. In calligraphy, do not put a big seal on the calligraphy. It will become a giant seal bomb and destroy the beautiful picture, which is very scary. Small spaces should not be filled with many inscriptions, and large spaces should not be filled with few inscriptions. Name seals on calligraphy and painting should not be stamped with more than three stamps in a row. Two stamps should be stamped, or one stamp is appropriate. The upper, lower, left and right sides of calligraphy and painting should not be stamped arbitrarily. It is better to cover too much than to cover too much, and it is better to not cover well if the seal is not good. When sealing a second seal, don't stagger around. How to seal the seal, how much force you use, and how to maintain the seal and ink pad are all issues that must be studied with concentration. These are issues that cannot be ignored.

② As for whether the red text or the white text should be stamped, it depends on the daily needs.
