What are the parts of calligraphy works?

A calligraphy work usually consists of two parts: writing and inscription. Before writing the text, we should make overall arrangements according to the size and number of words of the paper; From this perspective, the blanks on the four sides of the text are also part of the work.

First, leave the four sides blank.

In the layout of the whole work, we should pay attention to leaving blank space around, and we should not stand on the top of the sky, standing on the ground, full of paper and ink, giving people a sense of oppression and crowding. In vertical works (called "Tian" and "Di"), the white space is larger than the left and right, and "Tian" is usually slightly longer than "Di". The left and right blank spaces in horizontal works are greater than the upper and lower blank spaces, and "heaven" and "earth" are equal. In short, it is necessary to leave the "sky" above, the "ground" below, and leave the left and right sides blank to make the surrounding atmosphere smooth.

Second, the text writing

The text is written vertically, that is, each line is written from top to bottom and each line is written from right to left. The text is the main body of the work. When finishing beginners, it is best to leave the position of inscriptions and seals, which is more conducive to the overall layout.

Third, signature.

Inscription, also called inscription and agency payment, can be divided into single payment and double payment. A single paragraph usually writes down the source of the text, the writing time and the author's name. , also called the next paragraph; Write the gift-giving object and title at the top of the next paragraph, which is called the previous paragraph, and the upper and lower paragraphs are collectively called double paragraphs.

Regular script works are generally signed in running script or running script, and should be "literally lively" after the text, and the font size should be smaller than the text. When there are many spaces below the last line of the text, you can write your signature below, but it should not be too crowded, and you should also leave a space below the paragraph. There is less space under the last line of the text, so the signature should be on the left of the last line of the text, and another line should be written. The position of the paragraph is slightly higher, that is, the space at the top of the paragraph is smaller than that at the bottom of the paragraph.

Fourth, the seal

Clock seal means that after the writer signs it, he seals it to show his trust. At the same time, it plays a role in adjusting the center of gravity, enriching colors and enhancing artistic effects in calligraphy works. The size of the seal is similar to that of the paragraph, preferably slightly smaller than the paragraph, but not larger than the paragraph. The name stamp is printed on the bottom or left side of the signature. If it is stamped on both sides, it must be written in Zhu, and the white words and printed words on one side cannot be repeated. The distance between the two seals should be properly opened. Introductory chapters usually cover the right side of the first word or the second word in the first line of the text. The number and position of printing should be arranged according to the blank of the work. A work should not be printed too much. It is advisable to use one or two parties, including the introduction of the first chapter, and generally not more than three parties, that is, the so-called "printing is not three". Too much cover-up is not only unsightly, but also vulgar.
