First, fairness and unity: this is the most basic point, that is, to make the seal arrangement symmetrical and appropriate. However, it is worth noting that strokes cannot fill the space in zigzag, nor can they be as rigid as type. Generally speaking, people with complex strokes don't realize their complexity, and people with few strokes don't realize their scarcity. China, Indian and famous artists have many excellent works, which can be studied carefully.
Second, the unity of density: the ancients sometimes used the method of "wide strokes and dense needles" to deal with seals with great differences in the number of strokes on the printing surface. It is not allowed to occupy more land with more strokes, but to give more status to fewer strokes, thus making the contrast between density and density stronger and impressive. Sometimes we can adjust variant characters and traditional characters, and artificially arrange the density (such as ten thousand, none, first class) to make them unified.
Third, skillful and clumsy, thickness: the style of seal should advocate diversity, and "skillful" and "clumsy" are two different styles. But the pursuit of "cleverness" cannot be lost: the pursuit of "clumsiness" cannot be lost. Many clever words in printing are clumsy, and many clumsy words are clever. In traditional art, "beauty" is not a good word and is often used as a derogatory term. The author doesn't want his work to be rated as "too beautiful". The thickness of the seal is related to the author's calligraphy and epigraphy. More attention and analysis should be paid to the natural treatment of line thickness in antique seals and famous seals.
4. Addition, subtraction and repetition: in order to print properly, some words are sometimes added or subtracted, but it should be noted that a printed matter must not be added or subtracted word by word, and it must not be added or subtracted too many strokes; Increase or decrease does not hinder the meaning of the word, without losing the seal style. If you change it to another word after adding or subtracting, or it is unnecessary to add or subtract, it will be self-defeating.
5. pad printing echo: pad printing refers to the method of expanding and contracting the position of the word and moving the position of the stroke of the word to broaden the momentum of the whole printing when the word is idle or the stroke of the word is not square. Echo here mainly refers to two identical parts in composition, including space, which are artificially emphasized to play different roles. Generally, there are "diagonal echo", "opposite echo", "winding echo" and "leaving red echo".
Inflectional intransitive verbs: some fonts have square potential, some have round potential, some are curved, and some are straight. In order to match the composition, a single character can be regarded as Fiona Fang, but everything depends on the printed text. For the same content, if you need to print continuously, you need to change the font, or increase or decrease, adjust its font structure and position, or increase the printing border, or change the genre style, change the vermilion and so on. , so it's different. Even a few parallel lines should be changed in thickness, length, twists and turns, setbacks and slopes in order to break through the dull and stagnant situation.
