Composition and seal in calligraphy

The common sense of inscription in calligraphy works refers to the written content in calligraphy works except the written content. Inscription includes: the source of text content, the object of gift, the reason of creation, the time of creation, the author's name and font size, etc. There are two kinds of signatures: "double" and "single". In the two paragraphs, the object and author of the book are placed above and below respectively, the former is the upper paragraph and the latter is the lower paragraph. The preceding paragraph shall specify the name, source and recipient's name of the work; The next paragraph describes the date, place and author's name of creation. The preceding paragraph: the position should be higher to show respect, including name, title and modesty. Next paragraph: Write the time, place, name and modesty. If there is a previous paragraph but there is no previous paragraph, it is called a single paragraph, which may or may not contain the contents of the previous paragraph. If there are no books to give away, there are only single items. A single segment has a long segment, a short segment and a difference segment. A long paragraph refers to adding the author's feelings or reasons for creating this work before the writing time, name and place of the text source. Words should be sincere, meaningful and memorable. It not only plays a role in adjusting the focus of the work, but also reflects the author's character and cultivation. A short paragraph only includes the source, time, name and place of the text. If there are many blanks in the work or because of the need of composition, you can leave a long paragraph; If the content of the work occupies the whole picture, it needs to be short or poor. If there is not much paper left and too little blank space, you can just use the author's name as "poor money". When designing the layout of calligraphy works, we should consider the position of inscriptions. If the book is a couplet, the first paragraph must be written in the upper part and the second paragraph in the lower part; Other works are generally written on the left. If they sign in two lines, the first paragraph is written at the front and the next paragraph is written at the back. If you sign a single line, the previous paragraph is written in the upper part and the next paragraph is written in the lower part to show politeness. Single and double paragraphs can't be flush with the text, so they won't be flush if they are staggered. Generally, there should be a few words in the upper and lower positions, and the signatures should be as close as possible. Generally speaking, the lettering used for inscriptions is official script, regular script is not official script, and cursive script is not regular script. Signing a contract is generally "modern style of literature and art" and "lively style of literature and art" The characters are Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Da Xiao Zhuan, and the signatures are in seal script, kai script and running script; If the text is official script, regular script or regular script, the signature can be regular script or running script; Cursive script is generally not used for inscriptions, except cursive script itself, because it is difficult to identify. Running script is the most widely used one, which is easy to identify and lively. The size of the paragraph should be smaller than the size of the text font, so as to make the priority clear. The above signature forms are vertical works. For banner's works, generally only the contribution fee is paid, not the contribution fee. Like vertical works, the beginning and end of the inscription cannot reach or exceed the upper and lower words of the text of the work. Commonly used inscription 1.

Introduction of the first chapter (foil chapter, leisure chapter) This is the seal chapter on the upper right of the work, also called foil chapter, which follows the shape choice of stone. Therefore, the introduction of the first chapter should not be a big square chapter, but a leisure chapter. The content of this small chapter should be mixed with the text. When people get married, you should send a banner of "Longevity with Good Hearts" and affix the first chapter of "Bitterness".

The banner with a long waist chapter only covers the upper right side, and the middle of the first chapter looks like space. You can add a waist seal, and the content is mostly a small seal of the author's birthplace or attribute. The waist chapter is smaller than the first chapter and the famous chapter, and it is usually a small garden. Small length, small square. 3. Name seal: Name seal is generally divided into Zhu Wen (Yang Wen) and Bai Wen (Yin Wen). It is best not to affix two Zhu Wen or Bai Wen to the seal of a famous calligrapher. When printing on both sides, it is best to cover one piece of ink and one piece of white. There should be a gap between the two chapters, and there should be no difference in the size of the two chapters. Purpose of seal cutting: Calligraphy works include seal cutting, recording, making, stone cutting, seal cutting and other styles and styles. As long as you pay more attention to the works of ancient and modern calligraphers and write down some novel rules and styles, you will be handy when you create. Calligraphy and painting have the same origin, but the style of traditional Chinese painting is slightly different from calligraphy in the layout of articles, and everything else can be universal.
