Please refer to the "Basic Knowledge of the Signing of Calligraphy Works" in Baidu Wenku.
The signature refers to the written content in the calligraphy work other than the main text content. The signature includes: the source of the text content, the recipient of the gift, the reason for creation, the time of creation, the author's name and font size, etc.
There are two types of signatures: "double style" and "single style". The double style means that the recipient of the book and the writer are placed above and below respectively. The former is the upper style and the latter is the lower style. The first paragraph states the name, source, and name of the recipient of the work; the second paragraph describes the year and month of creation, the place of creation, the name of the author, etc. Above paragraph: The position should be relatively high to show respect, including name, title, and modest words. Next paragraph: Write the time, place, name, and modest words.
If there is a lower paragraph but no upper paragraph, it is called a single paragraph. A single paragraph may include the contents of the upper paragraph, or it may not include the contents of the upper paragraph. If there is no recipient for the gift of the book, only a single payment will be made.
Single styles are divided into long styles, short styles, and poor styles. The long paragraph means writing the time, name, and location before the source of the text, plus the author's thoughts or reasons for creating this work. The text should be sincere and meaningful, making people endlessly pondering. It not only adjusts the focus of the work, but also reflects the author's character and cultivation. The short paragraph only includes the source of the text, time, name, location, etc. If the work has a lot of blank space or is out of composition, you can add a long section; if the content of the work occupies a large area of ??the screen, you need to add a short or poor section. If there is not much paper left and there is too little blank space, you can also just put the author's name on it, which is called "poor money".
When planning the layout of calligraphy works, the location of the signature should be taken into consideration. If the book presents a couplet, the upper paragraph must be written on the upper line and the lower line on the lower line; other works are generally written on the left side. If the inscription is divided into two lines, the upper paragraph should be written on the front line and the lower line should be written on the back line; If the signature is signed on a single line, the upper paragraph should be written in the upper half and the lower paragraph should be written in the lower half as a courtesy. Neither the single paragraph nor the double paragraph should be flush with the main text. They must be uneven to prevent them from being flat. Generally, there should be a few spaces for words at the top and bottom, and the signature should be as close as possible to the top. It is better to be tight up and loose down, rather than loose up and down tight.
The font used for signing is generally official script instead of seal script, regular script without official script, and cursive script without regular script. The signature is usually "ancient style and modern style" and "wenzheng style". If the main text is in oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, or large and small seal scripts, the inscription can be in seal script, Zhang Cao, regular script, or running script; if the main text is in official script, regular script, or Wei stele, the inscription can be in regular script or running script; inscriptions in cursive script can be used except for the cursive script itself, because it is more difficult to identify. , generally not used for signature. The most commonly used signature font is running script, which is easy to recognize and lively. The size of the paragraph font should be smaller than the size of the main text font to make the priority clear.
The above signature format is for vertical works. For banner works, generally only the lower part is left and not the upper part. Similar to vertical works, the beginning and end of the signature cannot reach or exceed the top and bottom words of the text of the work.
