How to write calligraphy?

It depends on whether it is brush calligraphy or hard pen calligraphy.

If the brush is used for calligraphy, the signature is generally in the traditional format. Signature can have a deposit. Common only the next paragraph, the format is:

Time (usually not Gregorian calendar)+(%location)+author+(respect) book

Such as: "Xin Chou Zhong Qiu XX respect book".

In traditional calligraphy, dates are marked by years, and months are marked by lunar calendar, not specific to a certain day.

Hard-pen calligraphy, if arranged horizontally, can be in a modern format: 202 1 year1October, X, XXX book. If it is vertical, it should also be in the traditional format.
