What does the upper and lower structure of calligraphy mean?

The upper and lower structure of calligraphy works refers to the relationship between upper and lower glyphs and layout in text typesetting. This structure is not only a rhetorical device in aesthetics, but also the key to express the connotation of calligraphy. Through the rational use of the upper and lower structures, we can create a feeling of being vigorous, elegant and orderly, and make the works more charming and aesthetic.

How to create a beautiful calligraphy work by using the upper and lower structure? One of the skills is to pay attention to the mutual echo and overall coordination of glyphs, and the upper and lower structures should complement each other to present a balanced and beautiful visual effect as a whole. At the same time, we need to pay attention to the theme or connotation embodied in the upper and lower structures, and express our views or emotions through the arrangement of words in order to achieve better artistic effects.

The application of the upper and lower structure of calligraphy is not limited to the art of calligraphy, and many design fields also adopt similar typesetting or layout methods. For example, in poster design, the up-and-down structure of words, pictures and other elements can mobilize the visual focus of the audience and convey more intuitive and vivid information. In addition, when writing in daily life, you can also make your own words more fluent and beautiful according to the principle of upper and lower structure, and play a better presentation effect.
