According to the purpose of calligraphy and the different relationship between the author and himself, there will be the following different situations when signing:
1. When calligraphy is given to others as a gift, two paragraphs are generally used, and the author and title of the poem are arranged in the upper paragraph. Such as: recording Mr. Wu Liu's miscellaneous poems to serve Brother XX. The next paragraph is as follows: In the midsummer of Xin Chou Year, I wrote a book in XX, Xiangyang.
2. For general works that are not for gift purposes, you can use a single paragraph (free of charge). A single paragraph can be a large paragraph, such as recording the mid-summer of Xin Chou's year and Mr. Wu Liu's miscellaneous poems in Xiangyang. It can also be divided into two lines: Wu Liu's miscellaneous poems/Xin Chou's "Xiangyang Midsummer XX Book".
3, the author of the poem is a predecessor or an ancient person, which has nothing to do with himself, just the name of the author and the name of the poem; If the author of the original poem has something to do with himself, he needs to use relevant honorifics.
