Generally speaking, the most common calligraphy format is a straight banner. Straight banners can be written on a wide range of topics, which can be completed alone, or composed of two couplets, or combined into four screens, eight screens and so on.
A single banner can be written in seal script, official script, running script, cursive script and regular script. According to the size of words, poems ranging from a few words to dozens of hundreds of words can be applied, all of which are ornamental, so they become the most common form.
Extended data, such as:
There are three common forms of sectors.
(1) Make full use of the upper end instead of the lower end. This format should be two words per line, written from right to left. The signature is written on the left of the text. The paragraphs should be longer, the text should be written from one line to several lines, and the seal should be smaller than the body.
(2) Write fewer numbers, and use the width of the sector to write two or four words horizontally from right to left. Put it moderately, and you can write a few lines of fine print when signing, which is in harmony with the text.
(3) The upper end is written in sequence, and the lower end is alternately written to form a pattern with staggered length. In this way, we can avoid the situation that the upper end is sparse and the lower end is crowded, and achieve harmony all the time. According to this format, write a long line, about five words, and a short line or two. The signature should be wonderful, usually written at the back of the text, one line or several lines. That is, the seal is smaller than the signature.
