The signature of calligraphy works should be particular, or it can be arbitrary. Of course, you can choose according to your own preference.
It is generally believed that mentioning the name of a friend when sending a work to a friend can precede the main text out of politeness and respect. If you are an elder, I like to use the words "Jiao Zheng". If the elder has not had a profound influence on your calligraphy and painting practice, you can use "Ya Zheng". The depth of the influence is directly proportional to your status in your heart.
If the gift recipient is a peer, the gift can be "Ya", and the descendant can be "Huicun". The words of modesty and words of respect should be carefully studied, and no mistakes can be made, so as not to make the generosity laugh. Of course, personal habits and hobbies can also be used. In addition, there is also a category of year and month. You can query the month by yourself. There are many other names, so you can choose the one you like.
The calligraphy signature is not just the tail, but also includes all the writing content of the author in the calligraphy work except the main text. The signature includes: the source of the text content, the recipient of the gift, the reason for creation, the time of creation, the author’s name, font size, etc.
The font used for signing is generally official script instead of seal script, regular script without official script, and cursive script without regular script. Sign off. Generally speaking, it is "the ancient text reflects the present" and "the true text reflects the modern style". If the main text is in oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, or large and small seal scripts, seal script, seal script, regular script, or running script can be used for inscription; if the main text is in official script, regular script, or Wei stele, regular script or running script can be used for inscription; in practice, the most commonly used inscription font is running script, which is easy to recognize and Show liveliness.
If the last line of the text only has 2-3 words, and the signature is written directly below it, please do not switch to another line and do not add superfluous information. Don't be greedy for too many seals, it's best to seal them appropriately. Most of the seals on ancient works were not stamped by yourself, but were caused by circulation. The number of stamps must be cautious, and do not stamp too many and too many things to overwhelm the guest.
The left side of the two rows of small characters connected to the main text should not exceed the width of the main text. The year and month in the signature cannot be mixed with the Gregorian and lunar calendar. When writing the title, please use the elegant name rather than the common name when writing the place. The celestial stem of the lunar calendar does not write "year".
The signature is divided into "single style" and "double style". Those signed with both the name of the recipient and the author are called "double signatures", while those signed with only the author's name are called "single signatures." To dedicate or inscribe a gift, to inscribe the names, dates, or poems and postscripts of the giver and recipient on calligraphy, paintings, gifts, etc.
