The format of calligraphy inscriptions can be divided into "double body" and "single body".
Two models:
It is to put the book giving object and the author above and below respectively, the former is the upper paragraph and the latter is the lower paragraph.
The first paragraph is to write the recipient's name in front of the text (also often written after the text and before the author's name), which is also called double paragraph. The long paragraph is to add the source of the text, the time and place of writing, etc.
Single paragraph:
There are two paragraphs without the preceding paragraph, and a single paragraph may or may not have the content of the preceding 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.
1, a long paragraph is to write the time, name and place in the text, plus the author's feelings or reasons for creating this work. Generally used to supplement the rules.
2. Short paragraphs only include the source, time, name and place of the text; Generally speaking, the lettering used for inscriptions is official script, regular script is not official script, and cursive script is not regular script.
3. Poor style refers to the calligrapher who only writes his name and seals it at the inscription position after writing the text, and sometimes the name does not write the surname, which is very concise. In most cases, it is suitable for celebrities, couplets and some inscription forms that can't be inscribed more. For example, Xiao Yun was written by Sun Xiaoyun.
Introduction to calligraphy inscription:
The correct format of general calligraphy inscriptions includes: the source of text content, the object of gift, the reason of creation, the time of creation, the author's name, the font size and so on. If the text is written in regular script, you can't sign it in regular script. Similarly, if the text is written in official script, you should sign it in cursive script and Cao Zhang. Why can't these books be signed in the same style? This is because people have to examine the ability to sign. For me, signing a contract is an ability. If the style of writing is consistent with the style of inscription, people will think that your skill is insufficient. Only with more than two styles can we master our writing ability and calligraphy level more comprehensively.
If it is a cursive work, the signature can be cursive without conflict. However, some people like to include some small letters in cursive works, which is not only a decoration, but also a confession of various books, so that viewers can see that the books are not single.
For the summary of written content, briefly explain the author and title of written content when signing. If there is still room, write the year and month of creation on another line, such as: Gengzi Winter Moon, don't write "year" after the year, and then write the name of the creator. Some people like to write something like "The book is somewhere".
Font size: the font size in the inscription should be smaller than that in the text, and the specific size should be coordinated with the text.
Inscription position: Inscriptions are generally written on the left side of the text and arranged vertically.
Name signature: If the name is three words, there should be a space of one word between the last name and the first name.
Of course, the format of calligraphy inscription is not a fixed paradigm, it is not only a form of calligraphy composition, but also a person's cognitive view and aesthetic view of artistic works. After a long period of cultivation, this format can be changed flexibly in creation.
When signing calligraphy, you must write the year and month, and then it will involve heavenly stems and earthly branches's writing and usage. To sum up, Tiangan is called "A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui" and "Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen and Gui" is called "Ten Tiangan". Ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches are matched in turn to form sixty basic units, and they cooperate with each other in a fixed order to form the chronology of the stems and branches. Used for calendars, numbers, calculations, naming, etc.

The main purpose of calligraphy inscription:
1, signature is a supplement and perfection to the text. There is only one paragraph of text, which is written by people who don't know why and when, so that people can't see the complete information of the work. If there is a signature, people will know it at a glance.
2. It is a responsible practice to sign before writing. No matter who wrote the work, no matter what the writing level is, people can identify and compare it after signing, especially for some collectors, who determine the authenticity of the work by signing.
Inscription is also a sign to test the level of a calligrapher. Because the inscription contains a lot of common sense of calligraphy, such as literary accomplishment, printing knowledge, the writing level of money and so on. These are matters that some experts value, and they are also important inspection contents to identify calligraphers' calligraphy level.
The main principles of calligraphy inscription:
No work requires a uniform pattern or format for calligraphy inscriptions, but for the purpose of calligraphy inscriptions, certain principles are also required. These principles are:
1, simple and practical principle:
Don't write long speeches in calligraphy. Sometimes you write more words than the content of the text. Unless the content of the text is one or several big characters, it should generally follow the requirements of simplicity and practicality. Simplicity means that people can see who wrote this work and when it was written, and its practicality conforms to the elements of calligraphy works.
2, the principle of supplement and perfection:
Supplement and perfection refers to the supplement of the text content of the work. In the signature, the unfinished content of the text is supplemented and improved, on the one hand, it is a supplement to the complete information of the work, on the other hand, it is an effective supplement and improvement to the content of the work.
3, the principle of echo up and down:
In a sense, the content of words and calligraphy inscriptions are a kind of up-and-down relationship, and they complement each other and echo each other. Together they constitute the complete content information of calligraphy works.
4, size difference principle:
Size difference refers to the difference between the font size of text content and the font size of inscription. In general, the font size of the inscription is less than two or three times that of the text to show the difference.
5, the principle of different styles:
Generally speaking, the style of inscriptions should be different from the text. For example, the content of the text is seal script or official script, so it is archaic to write the inscription in cursive style, which meets the requirements of unified style. The main content is regular script, and the signature should be in cursive script.
Precautions for calligraphy inscription:
1. When writing poems and songs, you should clearly write the source of the text and the author's name before signing.
2. The number of words signed cannot exceed the number of words in the main theme.
3. The inscription should be smaller than the text, otherwise it will usurp the host's role and the whole will be uncoordinated.
4. If there is enough space in the last line of the text, write your signature directly below without switching to writing.
5. The width of two lines of small words connected with the text should not exceed the overall width of one line of text.
6. As far as possible, the writing time of the inscription should be combined with the dry calendar and the lunar calendar (the solar calendar cannot be mixed with the lunar calendar). Do not write "year" after the main branch, and do not write "year" after the main branch.
7. When signing, if you write the place, use the nickname instead of the common name.
8. Before calligraphy creation, you should lay out your signature in advance. The signature cannot fall on the text.
9. If the text of the banner works or Doufang works is on it, the width of the inscription below it should not exceed the width of the above text.
10, regarding banner's works, generally, only the contribution fee is paid, not the contribution fee.
1 1. When writing general couplets, the previous paragraph must be written in the upper part and the next paragraph in the lower part; If it is Long Mendui, the first paragraph is on the right and the second paragraph is on the left. If it is the first picture in quadruplicate, you can put a small seal on the upper right. You can't cover the rest. If you cover them all, the gas will go out.
12. If a person's name is written in the preceding paragraph, it is not allowed to affix a post-it signature above the preceding paragraph, and the signature will be placed at the head of the person's name. One is impolite, and the other is to destroy the picture.
