Good typography of ancient poetry

1. How to make word documents with ancient poems ① Page setup→ Custom paper.

② Insert the table as shown in the figure: the outline of the table is 4.5 pounds, and the internal solid line is 1.5 pounds (it can be adjusted according to your own perception until you are satisfied).

(3) Enter ancient poems in tabular form (writing ancient poems, generally without punctuation marks), one sentence and one column, or connect them, from right to left. After input, typesetting: select calligraphy font, adjust font size and attributes, and insert related pictures (such as seals) until you are satisfied.

(4) Save and output the PDF (this step is essential if you want to deliver it for printing or communicate with others, because the PDF can be embedded in fonts to ensure that the effect seen by others is consistent with the result of your own typesetting).

2. How to typeset modern poems in word When we use office software, especially when word edits documents, we need to insert pictures for typesetting. This is easy for many computer experts, but it may be a great difficulty for some beginners. I'm here to share with you some skills in this field.

Tools/raw materials

Computer, Microsoft word software

step

Open the word document you want to edit, and then choose Insert-Picture-From File. After selecting the picture to be inserted, the system will automatically import the picture, and then adjust the size of the picture (press and hold the arrow at the four corners of shift+ Picture to adjust, so that the adjusted picture will not be deformed, but scaled proportionally).

Right-click the picture center-format the picture. Then choose a layout. Select how you want to enclose the layout below.

Let's select the embedding type first, and then click OK. After that, there may be some words on the editing board that widen the distance. We can start a new paragraph and press Enter.

Then we choose the peripheral type in the same way, and we need to adjust the size and text of the picture to be satisfied.

3. What basic rules and common sense should poetry editing and typesetting follow? I think it depends more on your readers. If campus promotion is the main task, readers who are interested in Chinese studies or have higher academic qualifications can arrange ancient books from left to right (modern reading is generally from right to left) and from top to bottom (modern reading is horizontal). If the readers you are facing know little about this aspect, it is recommended to arrange fonts according to modern reading habits.

Poetry typesetting is generally divided into the following categories:

1. According to time: For example, Song Ci, many ci collections are divided into two periods: Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty. Generally, the words and works of the same person will be grouped together. Tang poetry is sometimes divided in this way, but it is less.

2. According to genre: This is also a common editing method of Song Ci. Lyrics will be arranged according to the poet's genre (such as graceful and unrestrained)

3, according to the number of words: this is mainly for Tang poetry, which is often said to be five-character poems and seven-character poems.

4, personal appreciation: this is actually a typesetting method that the ancients liked to use, which is rare in modern times. Ancient scholars like to sort out the poems of predecessors, and often judge the quality of poems by themselves, putting the best poems first and second, and so on, regardless of genre, author or time.

In addition, most poetry collections will briefly introduce the general situation of poetry at the beginning, and will briefly introduce each poet and poet's life. Personally, I think it is necessary.
