The principle of stamping is that it should generally not be larger than the inscribed words, and it should be small rather than large, while printing large is indecent. Generally, a piece of work can't be printed too much, so leave enough blank to make the work "breathable". The seal is embellished and can't usurp the host's role, so it should be less and smaller. The place where the seal is affixed is: the introduction chapter is affixed to the top of the work, and the distance between the first word and the second word of the text and the first line of the text of the work should not be too far, and it is appropriate to just leave the grid (or overlap the line). The name seal is stamped with one or a pair directly below the signature; Or a pair of left side covers for the inscription, that is, one cover on the left side at the lower position in the middle of the inscription, and another cover on the lower left of the last word. It is also possible to press half a line of words by two seals at the same time, but more than half of the seals should be exposed to the outside (the left side of the inscription). Mainly arranged according to the overall needs of the work. Cover a pair of seals to be basically the same size. Also, the distance between the two seals, one for yin (white characters on a red background) and the other for yang (scarlet letters on a white background), should not be smaller than the diameter of the seal, and the distance between the yin and the last word of the seal should not be greater than the diameter of the seal if it is stamped on the bottom of the seal. Moreover, the seal used in calligraphy must be seal script, not the kind of stamp that imitates modern Song Dynasty. This is just a general situation, and sometimes it can be flexible according to the situation. As for the leisure stamp (that is, the general small seal, the content is a poem, idiom, phrase, or other small shapes), it should be used less, and it should be small. If it is used well, it will be the finishing touch. If it is not used well, the whole work will be broken. How to use it is quite flexible, and you have to think it over and over again according to the situation.
if the name of the seal on a calligraphy work is three words, will the engraved words be printed?
usually, the name stamp is indispensable for a work. That is to say, there are chapters such as the author's surname, first name, or number, and elegant name, which are the last stamps of the signature, indicating the source of this work. Usually only one, "the seal of so-and-so" and "so-and-so", or just a first name, no surname, or a pen name, is usually only one. There are also surnames with a chapter and names with a chapter, but very few.
some works of a certain level need to use leisure chapters, that is, chapters that are used for layout and decoration, not for identifying the identity of the author.
For example, the opening chapter is usually covered in the upper left corner of the work as an overall layout decoration to break the rigid pattern of too serious works. Just start learning, as long as the name stamp is enough, and then learn how to stamp the leisure stamp after learning to a certain extent.
first, the artistic function of the seal
the seal on a calligraphy work is an indispensable part of the calligraphy work, and without it, it will not be a complete calligraphy work.
the seal was originally a token, which played a role of confirmation. After Song and Yuan Dynasties, calligraphers gradually realized the artistic function of seal and paid attention to it in calligraphy works, which made the art of combining book and seal come into being. Books and seals make each other interesting, which not only adds color to calligraphy works, enlivens the atmosphere, and plays the role of "icing on the cake", but also adjusts the center of gravity, remedies the deficiency in layout, and plays a stable and balanced role in works. Signing and stamping calligraphy works to show solemnity can prevent forgery; Covered with elegant and meaningful leisure chapters, you can also pin the ambitions and interests of the book. Therefore, calligraphers have always attached great importance to the use of seals, even their own engraving, so that the combination of seals and books can produce a more beautiful and stronger artistic appeal.
2. Several seals commonly used in calligraphy works
(1) Name stamp
Name stamp is the stamp for the signature of the title. Some names are linked together and some are separated. The inscription is stamped with the word "one name" as positive, and one surname can also be used. The name of the paragraph, printed; The word, then use the name stamp. If the money has a surname, you can use a name stamp, if the money has no surname, or if you don't sign it, you should use the name stamp to identify the author. The ancients used chapters and paid attention to etiquette; Anyone who is humble and young should be respected by the book, and should use the name seal; Words and seals used between peers; The elders should be given to the humble and young, so you can use another stamp. On the contrary, it is ridiculous and generous. Zhang Daqian, a modern painter, believes that the shape of the name stamp is "square is the best, round is ok, and if the waist is round and natural, it is not available."
Generally, there are two kinds of name stamps: Zhu Wen (Yang Wen) and Bai Wen (Yin Wen). When a calligraphy work is stamped with the names of two parties, it is best to have one Zhu and one Bai, and the two chapters are of appropriate size. When multiple chapters are used at the end of the paragraph, the order is the name chapter first, followed by the word and number chapter.
(II) Leisure chapter
Leisure chapter is also called layout chapter, including introduction chapter, border chapter, corner pressing chapter and waist chapter.
1. Introduction chapter
The introduction chapter is a chapter that is stamped on the upper right corner of calligraphy works by a bell, also known as the "conformal chapter", which is carved with the shape of stone. Generally, it should not be square, but semi-transparent, rectangular, circular, semi-circular, conformal gourd-shaped, natural and shaw-shaped. Whether or not to quote the first chapter on calligraphy works depends on the needs. If the first paragraph is too neat, it needs to be "deformed"; The seal at the end of the paragraph is too heavy and needs to be "upgraded"; The distribution of seals on the work is monotonous and needs to be "adjusted". At this time, the first chapter should be considered.
The introduction chapter can be divided into the following categories according to the content:
(1) The chapter of the name of Zhai, which was handed down from the world, began with the jade seal of Li Miduan's bedroom in the Tang Dynasty. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, this trend became more and more popular, and almost everyone in the calligraphers had a seal of fasting. Wen Zhiming, a calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Many of my bookstores were made in print." Zhai Hao is usually called Zhai, Tang, Shi, Lou, Ge, Guan, Xuan, An, etc., such as Weiqing Zhai, Xuexi Tang, Mo Jian Shi, Xiao Yin Lou, Songfeng Pavilion, Laiqin Pavilion, Rain Appreciation Xuan, Lotte An, etc.
(2) The chapter of elegance is the chapter of ancient auspicious words and phrases, which is full of meaning and elegance, or compiles philosophical and thought-provoking idioms and aphorisms, or records one's own interests and aspirations. There are many chapters on elegance and interest that encourage people to learn, such as "cutting", "learning from others", "being fond of books", "being diligent", "learning from the past without learning from others", "learning from others", "enjoying reading books", "being eager to learn makes people understand" and "getting it by accident after long-term accumulation". Those who show their feelings, such as relying on virtue, being clear-minded, having fun, enjoying happiness while suffering, cherishing the shade, being a willing ox, being clean and ice-clear, being indifferent to nature, and being old-fashioned, etc. There are those who express the interest of pen and ink, such as splashing ink, brushwork, fragrant field, spiritual interest, hiding from others, being obsessed with thinking, pursuing with hands, and working in inkstone field. Some people wish good luck, such as "wish", "Changle", "beauty is not old", "auspicious day" and "year of life" > >
Is it necessary to carve your own name on a calligraphy seal?
calligraphy seals are exquisite. The seal on calligraphy works is an indispensable part of calligraphy works. Without the seal, it will not be a complete calligraphy work. The seal was originally a token and played a role in verification.

(2) Idle chapters, also known as layout chapters, include the introduction chapter, the border chapter, the corner chapter and the waist chapter. 1. Introduction The introduction of the first chapter is a chapter that is stamped on the upper right corner of calligraphy works, also known as the "conformal chapter". It is a chapter carved with the shape of stone. Generally, it should not be square, but semi-transparent, rectangular, round, semi-circular, gourd-shaped, natural and shaw-shaped. Whether or not to quote the first chapter on calligraphy works depends on the needs. If the first paragraph is too neat, it needs to be "deformed"; The seal at the end of the paragraph is too heavy and needs to be "upgraded"; The distribution of seals on the work is monotonous and needs to be "adjusted". At this time, the first chapter should be considered. The introduction chapter can be divided into the following categories according to the content: (1) The chapter of Zhai Hao began with the jade seal of Li Biduan's bedroom in Tang Dynasty. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, this trend became more and more popular, and almost everyone in the calligraphers had a seal of fasting. Wen Zhiming, a calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Many of my bookstores were made in print." Zhai Hao is usually called Zhai, Tang, Shi, Lou, Ge, Guan, Xuan, An, etc., such as Weiqing Zhai, Xuexi Tang, Mo Jian Shi, Xiao Yin Lou, Songfeng Pavilion, Laiqin Pavilion, Rain Appreciation Xuan, Lotte An, etc. (2) The chapter of elegance, that is, the chapter of ancient auspicious words and phrases, is full of meaning and elegance, or compiles philosophical and thought-provoking idioms and aphorisms, or records one's own interests and aspirations. There are many chapters on elegance and interest that encourage people to learn, such as "cutting", "learning from others", "being fond of books", "being diligent", "learning from the past without learning from others", "learning from others", "enjoying reading books", "being eager to learn makes people understand" and "getting it by accident after long-term accumulation".

Some people wish good luck, such as "wish", "Changle", "beauty is not old", "auspicious day", "longevity" and "everlasting life". (3) The year stamp is used to record the years of calligraphy works, such as Jia Zi, Yi Chou, Bing Yin or 19 * * *, 199, 198 and 199. (4) The month stamp is used to record the month orders of calligraphy works, such as last spring, such as the moon, the silkworm moon and so on. 1. Border-blocking chapter refers to the chapter covered on one side of calligraphy works, which plays the role of blocking the border and gathering gas. 2. Corner-pressing seal The seal that covers the corner of calligraphy works is called corner-pressing seal. Take the one in the upper right corner as "yingshou" and the one in the two corners as "betting angle". Stop the side chapter and just take one side; Corner-pressing seal can control both sides, close to the corners to play the role of "blocking the edges and sealing the corners", "supplementing the emptiness" and adjusting and stabilizing the picture. 3. For long calligraphy works such as banners, if only an introductory chapter is stamped on the upper right, which shows space in the middle, it can be stamped with a waist chapter, the content of which is mostly the native place of the calligrapher, and it can also be printed in a small shape by the calligrapher's zodiac sign ..... > >
What words should the calligrapher engrave on the seal
① As for the content, it depends on the size of the seal. For a 2X2CM square seal, the word "Fang Bo" or "Fang Bo Yin" can be engraved. No matter how big the seal is, it can be engraved with more than four words.
(2) As to whether Zhu Wen or Bai Wen, it depends on the usual needs. For example, if the introductory chapter and the name stamp are stamped at ordinary times, one Zhu and one white will be required. If the name stamp and the long stamp are stamped, one Zhu and one white will be required, depending on your printing habits.
③ The introductory chapter is generally engraved with the shape, so as not to be square.
④ seal collection, "ersyiou" has been answered perfectly, and the contents of the seal you mentioned are appropriate.
⑤ In addition, I would like to say that the seal writing style on a piece of work should be roughly the same, for example, if there is a Chinese-Manchu script, you can't suddenly seal one side with a wire seal, and if there is a gold seal, you can't seal another side with a small seal, and so on.
what words are engraved on the seal of calligraphy
Notes for stamping calligraphy works: Generally, a Zhu Wenyin and a Bai Wenyin can be used for the seal. We should follow the principle of "Zhu before Bai". The position should be covered under the signature. It's best not to print your name and nickname at the same time. If you want to seal at the same time, the name is printed on the top and the other number is printed on the bottom. If necessary, an introductory chapter can be stamped between the first and second words of the opening. The text of the first chapter should be related to the writing content of the article. Generally, it is long or shaped. Calligraphy chapters are divided into name chapter, foot chapter, opening chapter and leisure chapter. Among them, the leisure chapter is covered in a relatively empty position, including the latter two. There is not much connection between seal and calligraphy. Since it is called seal cutting, it must belong to seal script. Of course, seal script also includes seal script, which is divided into Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscription and so on. Generally, relatively correct fonts, such as official script and regular script, should be signed in cursive script. Calligraphy is stamped with a seal, and the seal is bigger than the word. Of course, it is a matter of course to cover a large print and a small print. Rectangular, circular, oblong leisure chapter, can not be covered in the lower corner square corner leisure chapter position. Square leisure chapters should not be covered in the upper margin of calligraphy and painting, otherwise, it will usurp the host's role. Cover two seals, one square and one circle, which can't be matched. Isomorphic prints can be matched. Two seals, one large and one small, can't match. The same size can be matched. Cover two seals, one rectangle and one ellipse, which can't be matched. Isomorphic prints can be matched. Under the seal, you can't inscribe. If there is a word constraint on the seal, it will lose its natural phenomenon. The calligraphy and painting has been stamped with the signature, and you can't give it to others after the signature, otherwise, it will be disrespectful. Flower heads, bird tails, branches and hilltops are not allowed to be stamped. This is the painter's basic common sense, which is indispensable. When a craftsman engraves a seal, it should not be used in painting and calligraphy. It needs an artistic seal maker, ordinary inkpad, not suitable for painting and calligraphy, but eight-treasure inkpad. Cover with two seals, not too far or too close, just one seal distance apart. The seal, seal, composition and knife method are different and cannot be matched. Use the same knife method to engrave the seal. The top of the preceding paragraph can't be stamped with a casual chapter, and it is on the head of a person's name. People are very taboo. First, it is rude, and second, it destroys the picture. Cover the corner stamp, not too small, the rice paper is four open, and it is suitable to use square lithograph, about three centimeters. Cover the corner, but not two sides, one side is just right. The distance between the seal and the edge is about one. Five centimeters is moderate. Except in special circumstances, the inscription does not need to be stamped, but should be covered around the inscription, which is separated from the line and becomes a painting. In calligraphy, you can't cover it with a big seal, that is, it becomes a huge seal bomb, which destroys the beautiful picture and makes people look terrible. Small space can't have more inscriptions, and big space can't have fewer inscriptions. The name of a painting and calligraphy should not be stamped more than three times, but should be stamped twice or printed properly. Calligraphy and painting can't be stamped at will. It's better to cover less than to cover more improperly, and it's better not to cover well if the seal is poorly inked. Cover two seals, don't stagger, how to cover the law, how to use force, and how to maintain the seal inkpad are all problems that can't be ignored.
what are the general contents of the Chinese painting seal?
The general contents of the Chinese painting seal are the name, table characters, other names, the name of the lent house, the name of the book, the collection, the auspicious language, the essay and the Xiao shape.
(1) Name printing
Name printing, as the name implies, means printing in the name of the owner. It is a trustworthy thing and indispensable in daily life, especially for painting and calligraphy artists. Because name printing is an important part of their works, a work can be printed without money, but it can't be printed less, and it can't be called a complete work without printing. Ancient and modern names are printed in the following categories:
1. Name printing. Add after the name
