\ Single and Double/
There are single signature and double signature:
A single paragraph only writes the name of the calligrapher;
The double paragraph is to write the names of both the recipient and the calligrapher.
Among them, a single paragraph can be divided into short paragraphs and long paragraphs according to the number of words.
The easiest way is to just sign,
For example, in Wang Xizhi's post after the rain, the inscription is the word "Xizhi".
A little longer, you can bring your own office and title.
For example, Ou Yangxun's "Ninety percent Palace Liquan Ming":
Ou Yangxun, a prince and an ocean official, sent a letter.
A little longer, you can explain all the dates,
For example, Chu Suiliang's Preface to the Wild Goose Pagoda:
Yonghui is four years old and ugly. December, Wuyin, New Moon, 10th, Ding Haijian.
The right servant of Shangshu shot a letter from Chu Suiliang, the founding minister of Henan County.
There are also some longer ones that will explain the situation when creating.
For example, Wang Duo's "Wild Crane Liufangzhai Poetry":
On May 20th, it was hot in Gengyin. At that time, Huang, Li Maoqing and Wang gathered in Xuanzhongye Road and laughed impromptu.
The porch is also a ship, and its owner is in no danger. He borrowed paper for books, and his poverty is well known. Smile. Wang Duo is sixty years old.
After talking about the single model, let's talk about the double model.
If you write two paragraphs,
The recipient comes first and the writer comes last, which is a way to show respect.
For example, Zhao Mengfu's "Two Poems of Red Cliff" has two paragraphs:
On the eighth day of the first month, brother Mingyuan used this paper to invite two blessings.
For Song Xuezhai, and for Dongpo's frontispiece Zi Ang.
Speaking of two paragraphs, we have to mention couplets, commonly used couplets.
Generally, the first paragraph is written on the right side of the couplet, and the second paragraph is written on the left side of the couplet.
For example, Deng's official script couplet: Qin accompanied the moon court, naked.
The first paragraph: See the source of Zen friends, and the next paragraph: Shiwan Deng Shiru.
However, there is a special kind of couplets, and that is Long Mendui.
If there are more words in a couplet, the first couplet or the second couplet,
If you can't write one line, you need to write more than two lines. At this time, the couplet will be written in the shape of a door.
The first part is written from right to left, and the second part is written from left to right.
This kind of couplet is called "Long Mendui".
In Long Mendui,
The previous paragraph is suitable for writing in the blank of the upper part, and the next paragraph is suitable for writing in the blank of the lower part.
This is a couplet presented by Zeng Guofan to Guo Songtao:
Good people come from suffering, but they will benefit from it.
Things often go wrong because they are busy, so I am relatively calm.
The previous paragraph is: Xue is the younger brother's family.
The next paragraph is: August of the first year of Zeng Guofan's Tongzhi.
