Detailed explanation of the format of calligraphy works

1. Doufang

A Style of China's Painting and Calligraphy. It is square. Usually, four-foot rice paper is cut into two pieces, two feet high and two feet wide, or four-foot rice paper is cut into eight pieces, which is called "short film bucket" or "short film bucket".

Dou Fang is a square work written vertically. Writing content is generally four to six lines. Because there are many lines, we should attach great importance to the size, opening and closing, echo and rhythm changes in the layout of the chapter. When creating, we should pay attention to the primary and secondary relationship between words and inscriptions. Words are generally smaller than words and should be natural and vivid. The signature can be written at the bottom of the last line of the text, leaving room for layout. Generally, the bottom of a paragraph is not flush with the text to avoid rigidity in form. You can also occupy one or two lines behind the text, and neither the top nor the bottom can be flush with the text. The seal is smaller than the letter, so you need to leave one more word.

3. Third opening

A Style of China's Painting and Calligraphy. Rectangular, different sizes. If you cut four feet of rice paper into three parts, it is called four feet and three cuts. If you cut five feet of rice paper into three parts, it is called five feet and three cuts. By analogy, it is also three-in-one, with different sizes. Four-by-three is usually a three-foot map (actually two feet seven inches, one-third of eight squares). Five feet and three openings are one third of twelve square feet, and the area of each opening is four feet.

[14] Diagrams.

China's painting and calligraphy mounting style. Usually two are hung in pairs. For example, calligraphy is called "word pair" or "couplet". There is a kind of "painting pair" in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is two screens of equal size hanging in pairs. There is also nave's vertical axis painting hanging in the center of the hall, with "word pairs" on both sides, or the calligraphy with vertical axis hanging in the middle and "painting pairs" hanging on both sides.

4. Main hall.

Nave is a rectangular work written vertically. The size is generally a whole piece of rice paper (divided into four feet, five feet, six feet, eight feet and so on. , in which nave is 68CM×45CM). Because the scale is relatively large, it requires the creator to have a skillful technique and the ability to grasp the layout of the work as a whole. When writing, we should pay attention to the primary and secondary relationship between words and inscriptions, so that they are different in primary and secondary and glow accordingly. Don't steal the host's attention from the guests. The signature can be written at the bottom of the last line of the text, leaving room for layout. Generally, the bottom of a paragraph is not flush with the text to avoid the rigidity of the form. You can also occupy another line or lines behind the text, and it can't be flush with the text. The seal is smaller than the word "money". Generally, a seal needs to leave more than one word, which can be stamped under the word "money" or on the left side of the word "money".

5. Flag

Banners are long works written vertically. The size is generally a whole piece of rice paper. When arranging the composition, you should be able to carefully conceive and be innovative according to the characteristics of the book. Pay attention to the primary and secondary relationship between words and signatures when creating. The signature should be patchwork, natural and vivid. The signature can be written at the bottom of the last line of the text, leaving room for layout. Generally, the bottom of a paragraph is not flush with the text to avoid rigidity in form. You can also take one or two lines behind the text, and don't be flush with the text up and down. The seal is smaller than the word "money". Generally, you need to leave more than one word, and you can also stamp the left side of the word "Duan".

There are two common formats for banners:

Written in two or three lines. Two-line format The left and right lines are written on the left and right sides of the paper, leaving more space in the middle. Pay attention to the rhythm of the connection between the upper and lower words and the mutual echo between the two lines. The signature is usually written at the end of the second line, slightly higher than the last word of the first line. A paragraph can be written in one or two lines. In the format of the three lines, we should pay attention to the relationship between the three lines, the insertion of tapes and the change of rhythm. The signature can be at the bottom of the last line, slightly higher than the position of one or two lines of text; You can also write another paragraph, the words should be shorter than the text, and the top and bottom should not be parallel to the text.

(2) Write a line (a few words) in the middle. The content of writing is generally a motto, aphorism or a poem. There are few words, so when writing, we should pay attention to the opening and closing of words and the change of rhythm in order to be vivid. Signatures can be divided into single and double segments. A single paragraph is usually written in the middle of the left. The content of the paragraph includes the writing time, the author's name, or just the author's name or number. Cover the bottom of the letter, generally it is advisable to use it on both sides, and the distance between the seals should be appropriately opened. The first paragraph is written on the upper right of the work, generally referring to the time when the work was created. If a work is presented, the name or number, title, elegance, wealth and appreciation of the recipient shall be clearly stated.

[6] couplets

Couplets, also called couplets. It is divided into upper and lower couplet, right couplet is upper couplet and left couplet is lower couplet. The upper and lower couplets can be the same size as the banners, and they can also be larger or smaller than the banners. The writing content of couplets is very strict, which can only be antithetical couplets (the upper and lower couplets are equivalent, flat and parallel, and common words do not appear repeatedly), including antithetical couplets in metrical poems (commonly known as antithesis) and two couplets in the middle (parallel couplets and necklaces). The antithesis has five words and seven words, ranging from three words to dozens of crosses and hundreds of words. Rhyme is divided into five words and seven words. When arranging the composition of five-character and seven-character couplets, the upper and lower couplets should be written in a single line vertically. Write two or more lines in the dialogue above the cross (pay attention to the writing order, the upper part is from right to left and the lower part is from left to right. Drop two paragraphs, at the end of the upper and lower couplet respectively, the word is slightly higher than the end of the text). The positions of the upper and lower conjunctions are generally basically parallel. Deal with the size, change of the upper and lower characters in a couplet and the echo between the upper and lower couplets, so that the upper and lower couplets become a whole.

The couplets below the cross are divided into upper and lower paragraphs and single paragraph. The upper paragraph is written on the right side of the upper part and the lower paragraph is written on the left side of the lower part. In the previous paragraph, the author and title of a poem are generally written. For example, the next paragraph, the writer's name, number, writing place and time. For example, if "Bingzi Tang Xianshu is in Beijing" is a gift, the first part should indicate the name or number, title, elegance, kindness and appreciation of the recipient. For example, Ms. Wen Yinghui Village is a work that someone asked you to write. In the first part, the name or number of the person who asked you to publish the book will be written, and the words "commissioned publication" will be added to the title. A single paragraph is generally written in the upper-middle position on the left side of the bottom couplet. The content of the paragraph includes the writing time and the author's

Name, or just the author's name or number. Cover the bottom of the letter, generally it is advisable to use it on both sides, and the distance between the seals should be appropriately opened.

Zone

Here refers to the folding fan sector, which is a special form. Because of the fan-shaped shape, the upper part is wide and the lower part is narrow, so the gap between the crease and the tear is also wide and narrow. This unique style requires us to make appropriate arrangements when creating.

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.
