The first column is blank with 2 boxes or the title is written in the middle, the second column begins to write the text, which can be blank with 2 boxes, and the last column can be signed or sealed. Ancient calligraphers with brush left paper, so they wrote fluently. Modern pens and brushes, if they are vertical, are easily erased by hands, so they are not easy to write. Simplified characters rarely have vertical characters, and almost all of them are written in traditional Chinese characters.
The reason why the ancients wrote vertically is because before papermaking was invented, the ancients wrote on bamboo slips. Bamboo slips and wooden slips are long and narrow pieces of bamboo, which can be rolled into books when strung together. The word "book" is a pictograph of bamboo slips. It is natural to hold the book in your right hand when you open it, and it is also convenient to unfold it in your left hand. Therefore, writing is from top to bottom and from right to left. In ancient times, bamboo slips were written piece by piece and then bound into a book.
Matters needing attention in writing
1, stroke order: Write each word in the correct stroke order. This helps to keep the font standard and beautiful.
2. Font and specification: follow the corresponding font and writing specifications. Different fonts may have different shapes and proportions to ensure that the shape and spacing of letters are consistent with the selected font.
3, stroke thickness and speed: master the correct stroke thickness and writing speed, so that the handwriting is clear and recognizable. Writing too fast or too slow will affect the quality of writing.
4. Choice of paper and tools: Choose paper and tools suitable for writing. The paper should be smooth and flat to avoid wrinkles or uneven surface affecting the writing quality. Choose a pen or signature pen that suits your writing needs to ensure smooth writing.
5. Visual alignment and spacing: keep the visual alignment of letters on horizontal or vertical lines, ensure the uniform distance between letters and avoid crowding or sparseness.
