The format of calligraphy inscriptions can be divided into "double body" and "single body".
Two models:
It is to put the book giving object and the author above and below respectively, the former is the upper paragraph and the latter is the lower paragraph.
The first paragraph is to write the recipient's name in front of the text (also often written after the text and before the author's name), which is also called double paragraph. The long paragraph is to add the source of the text, the time and place of writing, etc.
Single paragraph:
There are two paragraphs without the preceding paragraph, and a single paragraph may or may not have the content of the preceding paragraph. If there are no books to give away, there are only single items. A single segment has a long segment, a short segment and a difference segment.
1, a long paragraph is to write the time, name and place in the text, plus the author's feelings or reasons for creating this work. Generally used to supplement the rules.
2. Short paragraphs only include the source, time, name and place of the text; Generally speaking, the lettering used for inscriptions is official script, regular script is not official script, and cursive script is not regular script.
3. Poor style refers to the calligrapher who only writes his name and seals it at the inscription position after writing the text, and sometimes the name does not write the surname, which is very concise. In most cases, it is suitable for celebrities, couplets and some inscription forms that can't be inscribed more. For example, Xiao Yun was written by Sun Xiaoyun.
Introduction to calligraphy inscription:
The correct format of general calligraphy inscriptions includes: the source of text content, the object of gift, the reason of creation, the time of creation, the author's name, the font size and so on.
If the text is written in regular script, you can't sign it in regular script. Similarly, if the text is written in official script, you should sign it in cursive script and Cao Zhang. Why can't these books be signed in the same style?
This is because people have to examine the ability to sign. For me, signing a contract is an ability. If the style of writing is consistent with the style of inscription, people will think that your skill is insufficient. Only with more than two styles can we master our writing ability and calligraphy level more comprehensively.
If it is a cursive work, the signature can be cursive without conflict. However, some people like to include some small letters in cursive works, which is not only a decoration, but also a confession of various books, so that viewers can see that the books are not single.
For the summary of written content, briefly describe the author and title of written content when signing. If there is still room, write the year and month of creation on another line, such as: Gengzi Winter Moon, don't write "year" after the year, and then write the name of the creator. Some people like to write something like "The book is somewhere".
Font size: the font size in the inscription should be smaller than that in the text, and the specific size should be coordinated with the text.
Inscription position: Inscriptions are generally written on the left side of the text and arranged vertically.
Name signature: If the name is three words, there should be a space of one word between the last name and the first name.
Of course, the format of calligraphy inscription is not a fixed paradigm, it is not only a form of calligraphy composition, but also a person's cognitive view and aesthetic view of artistic works. After a long period of cultivation, this format can be changed flexibly in creation.
