How to inscribe Chinese paintings?

Question 1: How to inscribe Chinese paintings. Common sense about calligraphy withdrawal and inscription

For a relatively successful calligraphy work, the brushwork and the structure of the characters are important. In running and cursive scripts, the composition (layout) of the entire work is particularly important. The cursive and cursive scripts are varied, rich and colorful, and the writing follows your thoughts. A proud work is the result of the writer's painstaking efforts. The composition we are talking about here is the overall view of the appreciation of calligraphy art. The structure of the whole article, leading and leading, echoing from beginning to end, cohesively, each expressing its intention, the flow of luck, the ups and downs with the situation, the twist of the pen, the clever arrangement of virtual formations, and the emotional expression are all part of the composition. When you stand in front of such a work that is both unreasonable and wonderful, it will really make you intoxicated.

The calligraphy works include nave, banners, couplets, horizontal plaques, hand scrolls, banners, fans and other formats. These formats have a small number of words, and there are also poems (five-character and seven-character quatrains). ) or a poem (Bu Suanzi, Bi Yuan Chun, Tian Jing Sha, etc.) with different word counts. How to arrange it, how to inscribe it, and how to stamp it are all part of the rules and regulations. Some calligraphy enthusiasts are already good at writing single characters and have a certain foundation in post-writing. However, they are at a loss as soon as they come into contact with calligraphy creation. In another case, when selecting calligraphy works, the writing level of the text was acceptable, but when I looked at the title, I saw that it was simply sloppy and the seal was not elegant, so I was not selected. These ills must be taken seriously.

In the process of studying ancient and modern calligraphy works, I summarized the calligraphy methods into the four general principles.

General Principles

Shade, dryness, wetness, continuousness, density, size, length, thickness,

Far and near, to the back, empty and full, looking forward, Scattered, fat and thin, head and tail, starting luck,

Yan Yang, ups and downs, recognition, seal.

2. Inscription

Kuanshi occupies a very important position in a calligraphy work. For example, if you ponder the text dozens or hundreds of times and compose the picture repeatedly, you will never know when it comes to the inscription. If you finish your writing hastily, it will end up with an anticlimax, and the spirit and charm will be greatly eclipsed. It can be seen that the quality of recognition cannot be ignored.

(1) The previous paragraph

The previous paragraph refers to someone or a certain unit asking you to write. After the work is completed, the name of the person who requested the book should be inscribed, and this name should be inscribed at a higher position in the paragraph above to show respect. If it is just a piece of work participating in an exhibition, there is no need to inscribe the title. This is called a single item. Contents included in the above paragraph:

Name + title + modest words

1. Elders:

For calligraphy works written to elders, the title of the above paragraph is as follows: Call so-and-so Comrade, Mr. So-and-so, Mr. So-and-so, Mr. So-and-so, Teacher So-and-so. If the elder is over seventy years old, he can be called So-and-so Lao; if the elder is over eighty years old, he can be called So-and-so Weng.

The writer is a junior, and the elders are generally not addressed by their surnames, but modest words are also added, such as: correction

Fa Zheng, Jiao Zheng, Zheng Zi, Zheng Wan, Zheng Zhi, Please reward, be elegant, correct, correct, and correct.

For example: Mr. Yulou’s Qingshang and Zhixian Fang’s original works.

2. Peers:

Works written by peers are generally called so-and-so comrade, so-and-so book friend, so-and-so friend, so-and-so

so-and-so classmate , so-and-so big brother, so-and-so virtuous brother, so-and-so little sister, so-and-so little brother, so-and-so academic friend, etc. It should be noted here that common names are not suitable for inscriptions, such as: so-and-so eldest sister, so-and-so second brother, etc.

You can also add modest words after the title, such as: cun nian, hicun, liu mian, liu cun, qing reward, command book, life book, elegant book, etc. For example: Xiaohua Shuyou Huicun. Yongming Xiandi Yagen

3. Source of the text:

The text of the work includes poems, sentences, aphorisms, aphorisms, etc. The author of these texts Or the title of the article should be written like this when withdrawing money:

Preface to Wang Bo Teng's Wenge and Du Fu's Poetry Guest

For some well-known poems and famous sentences, such as: "Reading more than ten thousand volumes" , for example, there is a god." You can omit the source title of the text.

Question 2: How to inscribe Chinese painting? Chinese painting is a combination of poetry, calligraphy, seal cutting, The comprehensive art of painting and painting is the unique artistic tradition of Chinese painting. The poetry and calligraphy inscribed on Chinese paintings not only help to supplement and deepen the artistic conception of the painting, but also enrich the artistic expression of the picture. They are one of the important means for painters to express their emotions, personality and enhance the artistic appeal of painting. The combination of poetry, calligraphy and painting has always been known as the "Three Beauties" and "Three Wonders". The "Three Beauties" and "Three Wonders" are praises for the combination of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and are also commonly pursued in Chinese painting. artistic realm.

Inscription is an art form that combines poetry, calligraphy, seal cutting and painting. Inscription, also known as inscription, title, inscription, inscription, shape or style recognition. The proper style of Chinese painting includes two aspects: "title" and "style": inscribing poems and essays on the picture is called "title". In terms of genre, the writing on paintings can be divided into praises on paintings, poems (words) on paintings, notes on paintings, postscripts on paintings, titles on paintings, etc. Writing the year and month on the painting, signing your name, and stamping it with a seal are called "money". Some inscriptions also record the place of birth, age, place of painting, etc. If the work is a gift, the recipient's name, title, greetings, modest words, etc. must also be written. The content and format vary widely. The inscription requires not only exquisite poetry but also exquisite calligraphy. Therefore, the inscription must have high accomplishments in both literature and calligraphy. In addition to paying attention to poetry and painting, the inscriptions of Chinese paintings generally use the inscriptions of the stems and branches of the Chinese calendar (Suiyang and Suiyin). As for seasonal orders, monthly orders, seasonal orders, and seasonal orders, they have different names and are used from generation to generation. fashion. In particular, ancient calligraphy and painting often use Sui Yang and Sui Yin (the so-called major stems and branches), so the list is attached at the end of the volume for easy retrieval.

Question 3: How to write the signature format of Chinese paintings? (Please give me an example) 1. Commonly used signature methods

The signature, also known as signature, is to write the author’s name, year, month, title, etc. outside of the text. Many writers before the Tang Dynasty did not have inscriptions, so it was very troublesome to study ancient works, and many of them became fake works. Many of the works of the calligraphy sage Wang Youjun are suspicious.

In addition to changes in fonts and fonts, signatures can be divided into two categories: "single style" and "double style", which are described below:

Classification of signatures

(1) Single paragraph

Also known as (lower paragraph), it is the author's own inscription. After a work is completed, it must be inscribed with an inscription to show politeness and responsibility for the work.

1. Short payment: simply sign your name or year and month, no more than a cross.

2. One-character style. Those with one character in calligraphy signatures are called one-word styles.

3. For two-character signatures, sign only the author's name. If there is one-character signature, write the name.

4. Three-character names are mostly written with one’s name. If the name is one-character, add one more character “书”.

5. Four-character styles are mostly three-character names plus the word "book" or two-character names plus the year, and the year is mostly made of stems and branches.

6. Five-character names: Five-character or more than three-character names plus year or two-character names plus year and "book" below.

7. Six-character style. Among the six-character style, there are usually three-character names plus a certain year or two-character names plus a certain year and month; the month is used in many ways.

8. Seven-character inscription: Among the seven characters, the four characters of the year and month plus the three characters of the name, or the word "book" is added under the two characters of the name.

9. Long paragraph: In addition to the year, month and name, a lot of words are added to the signature, one is for variety, the other is for balance of the work, the third is to fill the gaps, and the fourth is to express the author's feelings.

10. Those who add the author's name of Zhaixuan

11. Those who add the author's place name should use the modern name, such as Qing, Wu Changshuo, who was born in Anji, Zhejiang. "Anji Wucang Stone" is often used in signatures. .

12. Those who add the author's name or alias. Those who add the words are: Qing, Wu Changshuo, whose original name is Junqing, whose original name is Cangshi, and "Cangshi Wu Junqing" is commonly used. There are many aliases.

13. The ancients who added the official name of the author would also add the official title when writing the inscription. It was most common for people in the Tang Dynasty to write steles. For example: the signature of the Liquan inscription in Jiucheng Palace of Ouyang Xunshu is "and the crown prince's rate is even greater." Ouyang Xun, a male minister of Bohai, presented the imperial edict."

(2) Double style

That is, in addition to the single style, the name, title, official title, honorific and other words of the recipient of this work are added.

1. The recipient’s name is used as a title to address others, and the title is more respectful. If there is no title, the person can be called by a given name, but it is best not to include the first name and surname.

2. The recipient’s official title The ancients often used "adult", such as "observant master", "ge lao", etc. Today, people call teachers "teacher", "principal", "professor", etc.

3. The address of the recipient: If the recipient is related to the person writing the letter, the elders usually use "brother-in-law" or "father-in-law".

4. Respectful words such as Yagen, Yashang, Yazheng, Yapeng, Yajian, Yajiao, etc.

Commonly used closing words in calligraphy works

Elders: my teacher, Taoist priest, senior, sir, madam (Miss)

Common generation (or younger generation) ): brother, younger brother, dear brother, respected brother, eldest brother, wise brother (brother), school brother (brother), Taoist brother, Taoist friend,
