Take the works of long rice paper with full opening and folio (half or half folding) and straight books as banners.
banners are long works written vertically. The size is generally a whole piece of rice paper. When arranging the composition, we should be able to carefully conceive and have new ideas according to the characteristics of the book. When creating, we should pay attention to the primary and secondary relationship between the text and the signature. The signature should be patchy, natural and vivid. The signature can be written at the bottom of the last line of the text, leaving room for layout. The bottom of the paragraph is generally not flush with the text to avoid the rigidity of the form. It can also occupy another line or two at the back of the text, and the top and bottom should not be flush with the text. The seal should be smaller than the word "paragraph". Generally, it needs to leave more than one word, or it can be stamped on the left side of the word "paragraph".
This is Mr. Qi Gong's banner work "Form Ends to Show Rightness"
There are two common formats for banners:
One is written in two or three lines. Two-line format. The left and right lines are written on the left and right sides of the paper, leaving more space in the middle. Pay attention to the rhythm of the connection between the upper and lower words and the mutual echo between the two lines. The signature is usually written at the end of the second line, which should be slightly higher than the last word of the first line. A paragraph can be written in one or two lines. In the format of three lines, we should pay attention to the relationship between the three lines, interspersed with tapes and rhythm changes. The signature can be at the bottom of the last line, and the bottom is slightly higher than the position of one or two lines of text; You can also write a separate paragraph, which should be shorter than the main text and should not be parallel to the main text from top to bottom.
the other is to write a line in the center (fewer words). The content of writing is generally a motto, aphorism or a poem. There are few words, so when writing, we should pay attention to the opening and closing of words and the change of rhythm in order to be vivid. The signature can be divided into single paragraph and double paragraph. The single paragraph is generally written in the middle of the left. The content of the paragraph includes the writing time, the author's name, or just the writer's name or number. The seal is covered under the letter, generally it is appropriate to use two sides, and the distance between the seal and the seal should be appropriately opened. The first paragraph is written in the upper right-hand part of the work, which generally refers to the time when the work was created. If the work is presented, the name or number of the recipient, the title and the words such as elegance, wealth and appreciation should be clearly stated.
second, couplets:
two folio banners, written in couplets, are also called couplets, couplets or couplets.
couplets, named after the pillars hanging in the halls and houses in ancient times, are a kind of dual literature, which originated from Taofu. It is a dual sentence written on paper, cloth or engraved on bamboo, wood and columns. It is a unique art form of Chinese language, which is concise and profound, neat and even, with the same number of words and the same structure
couplets are divided into upper and lower couplets, with the upper couplet on the right and the lower couplet on the left. The size of the upper and lower couplet can be the same as the banner, and it can also be larger or smaller than the banner. The writing content of couplets is very strict, which can only be antithetical sentences (the upper and lower couplets are equal in words, flat and parallel, and common words do not appear repeatedly), including antithetical sentences (commonly known as pairs) and the middle two couplets (parallel couplets and neck couplets) in metrical poems.
There are five words and seven words in antithetical sentences, and there are as few as three words, as many as tens of crosses and hundreds of words. Rhyme is divided into five words and seven words. When arranging the composition of five-character and seven-character couplets, the upper and lower couplets should be written vertically in a single line. The antithetical sentences above the cross should be written in two or more lines (pay attention to the writing order, the upper part is from right to left, and the lower part is from left to right.
