Calligraphy works include nave, banners, couplets, horizontal plaques, hand scrolls, banners, fans and other forms. These forms all have several words, and there are different words in one-handed poems (five-character, seven-character quatrains) or one word (diviner, bi, Tian Jingsha, etc.). ). How to arrange it, how to sign it and how to stamp it are all the contents of the rules and regulations. Some calligraphy lovers write very well in a single word and have a certain foundation in their posts. However, when they came into contact with calligraphy creation, they were at a loss. In another case, when choosing calligraphy works, the writing level in the text is OK. At first glance, the title was scribbled and the seal was not elegant, so it was unsuccessful. These ills must be taken seriously.
In the practice of studying ancient and modern calligraphy works, I summarized the composition into forty general laws.
General rule
Keywords shadow, wet and dry, lingering, continuous, dense, size, length, thickness,
Distance, back, reality, looking around, strewn at random, fat and thin, head and tail, parting,
Suppress, undulate, prompt, seal.
Two questions
Extensive knowledge plays a very important role in a calligraphy work. For example, if you ponder the text for dozens or hundreds of times, you will conceive a composition repeatedly, but when it comes to the topic, you will hastily close your pen and form an anticlimactic style, which will greatly reduce your charm. It can be seen that the quality of money can not be ignored.
(1) previous paragraph
The preceding paragraph refers to someone or unit asking you to write. After the work is completed, the name of the book seeker should be inscribed, and this title should be placed in a higher position in the previous paragraph to show respect. If it's just a work for exhibition, there's no need to sign it. This is called single segment. Contents included in the preceding paragraph:
Name+address+modesty
1, predecessor:
For calligraphy works written for elders, the titles mentioned in the preceding paragraph refer to comrades, gentlemen, Fang, ladies and teachers. If an elder is over 70 years old, he can be called old. Old people over eighty can be called XXX.
The writer is a junior, and generally does not call his elders by their surnames, but also adds modest words, such as correction.
Fazheng, Jiao Zheng, Zheng Zi, Zheng Wei, Zheng Zhi, Please Reward,, Axe Zheng, Zheng Bi, Zheng Shu.
Such as: Mr. Lou Yu's reward, rule of virtue, pen.
2. Peer:
The works written for peers are generally called comrades, book friends, dear friends, and some others.
A classmate, a big brother, a good brother, a little sister, a little brother, a classmate and so on. What needs to be noted here is that it is generally said that it is not appropriate to sign, such as: so-and-so elder sister, so-and-so second brother, etc.
You can also add modest words after the address, such as: remember, cherish, remember, keep, reward, entrust, command, elegance and so on. Such as: Xiaohua Book Club Huicun. Shu Ya, Yongming County
3. Text source:
The text of the work includes poems, sentences, aphorisms and aphorisms. The author of these texts or the theme of sentences should be written like this:
Wang Boteng's Preface to Poems of Govin Du Fu
For some well-known poems and famous sentences, such as: "Reading is like breaking ten thousand volumes, and there are gods under it." You can omit the source title of the text.
② The next paragraph

From the first day to the tenth day of each month,
Every month from 1 1 to the 20th,
It is called Huan from 2 1 day to 30/day every month.
For example, Gui Yue went to Huan in Jiazi.
It's easy to mix the lunar calendar with the solar calendar when writing time. For example,1June 985 cannot be written as an ugly year, because June in the Gregorian calendar is May in the Gregorian calendar.
1, location:
If the inscription is written in a local place, it is a common name to use the nickname instead of the common name. For example, the book is in Beijing Xicheng Meat Shop, which belongs to the common name, but it is also possible to write the inscription in Jingxi Early Spring Hall and hold the book with Hong Bin.
2. Department name:
When signing, you can write your full name, or you can just write your first name without your last name, or you can write your inscription and number. Such as: Yang Zaichun and Zai Chun's books, Yanshan Mohist books.
3. After the names of works written for elders and experts, humble words such as book donation, book donation, book donation and book recording can be added.
The content of the book is very good. The famous sentences or masterpieces of leaders can be followed by modest words such as respectful records and books.
The full title of the next paragraph should be:
"In the ugly year, under the apricot moon, I am celebrating the book of Yang Zaichun in the ancient Tang Dynasty".
The text is the ancient script of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Zhong Ding and Han Li, and the title should be in regular script or regular script. It is not advisable to use fonts or cursive scripts. If the text is regular script, cursive script or cursive script, then the font of the title is best in cursive script. For the sake of coordination, the font of the title should be smaller than the text. ,
Third, sealing.
Seal plays an important role in calligraphy works. Don't look at this little piece of red, the finishing touch is really wonderful.
1, chapter 1 (accompanying chapter, leisure chapter)
This is the seal chapter on the upper right of the work, also called conformal chapter, which follows the shape choice of the stone. Therefore, the introduction of the first chapter should not be a big square chapter, but a casual chapter. The content of this small chapter should be mixed with the text. If someone gets married, you can give a banner "Extending Good Pleasure" and cover the introduction of Chapter 1 "Taking pains", which is not the official chapter. The introduction chapter also includes the following contents:
(1) year stamp: Jiazi, Ebo, Bingyin, 1985, etc.
(2) Month stamp: I did it, Grain Rain, midsummer, etc.
(3) Seal of Ramadan: Mu Ren House, Reed Cottage and ji zi Pavilion.
(4) Elegant chapter: This kind of introductory chapter contains a wide range of contents, so it is necessary to prepare several aspects, such as: being happy, being happy and suffering, being interested in the world, being interested in ink, being magical, writing about my heart, being interested in ink, being diligent, working hard, doing research, being Brewmaster, being interesting, learning from the past, being diligent in writing, painting attentively, learning from others' strengths and being diligent.
1. waist tag
The long banner only covers the upper right side to lead out the first chapter, which makes the middle space too big. You can add a waist seal, and the content is mostly a small seal of the author's birthplace or attribute. The waist chapter is smaller than the first chapter and the famous chapter, and it is usually a small garden. Small length, small square.
2. Name seal:
There are two kinds of famous seals: Zhu Wen (Yang Wen) and Bai Wen (Yin Wen). It is best not to affix two Zhu Wen or Bai Wen to the seal of a famous calligrapher. When it is necessary to cover both sides, it is best to cover one piece of ink and one piece of white, and there is a gap between the two chapters. The two chapters should not be different in size.
There are many kinds of pictures and styles of calligraphy works. As long as you pay more attention to the works of ancient and modern calligraphers and write down some novel rules and strokes, you will be handy when you create.
