In the previous article, we mainly discussed the "Tao" level of the guiding ideology of the chapter, and in this article, we mainly focus on the more practical "technical" level in the creation process of calligraphy works. It is divided into three parts: chapter, inscription and seal, and is explained in more detail.
Part I: Chapters.
1. The meaning of the chapter.
Chapter method, is the word and word, line and line of the layout, the method of arrangement, with a certain body of the book, a certain form written on the paper, for mounting, hanging and appreciation, must be these words, words, text and other very artistic arrangement, so that they up and down, left and right complement each other, take care of each other, coordinate beautiful and generous, do not lose the rules, lively and orderly, pleasing to the eye. It can't be without heaven and earth, without head and tail, sparse and disorganized, so that people look depressed and disgusted, not to enjoy the beauty of art but to be angry and angry.
Chapter is the first impression of calligraphy works, people are used to "preconceived", a look at the chapter or violation, or messy, or crowded, or stingy, giving people a bad impression, it is difficult to make people appreciate it, so the calligrapher must pay great attention.

Second, the essentials of the rules.
1 The intention is to put the pen first. Before starting to write, according to the content and form to be written, carefully calculate, think about the layout, according to the number of words, estimate the size of the word, how many lines to write, how many words in a line, how to inscribe, the body and size of the word, how to use the seal, all of them must be calculated and understood, and even write a sample on another paper, repeatedly verify the chapter and then start writing, so as not to waste time and paper.
2. The first word collar. Tang Sun said in court: "Han is not vain, there must be a reason", "one point becomes a word rule, one word is the final standard." "A little bit of the pen and even a word, to play a leading role in the whole article, is very important, to be carefully considered, it is related to the style and layout of the whole article, is a major matter that has to be taken seriously.
3. The cloth is white and exquisite. For a word, we should pay attention to the "partition cloth white, far and near should be even" (Wang Xizhi), this is the small nine palaces, for the whole "branch cloth white" is called the big nine palaces, the same requires words and words, lines and lines to be evenly stopped, just right, neither crowded, nor loose and scattered, even if it is a line of cursive, but also interspersed to avoid the beauty of the good.
4. Leave blank on all sides. The whole text can not be written all over the canvas, squeezing the nose and squeezing the eyes, leaving enough blank space on all sides, generally speaking, accounting for about 60 percent of the paper, although there is no need to calculate accurately, there are differences with different habits, the general should not be too excessive, to "leave room for it". Generally speaking, the banner is narrower on the left and right, wider on the top and below, and the top is wider than the bottom, while the banner is narrow at the top and bottom, and slightly wider on the left and right.
There are no rules in the rules, and they must be flexible with the changes in the conditions of the occasion, focusing on "improvisation", or abandoning the original plan, or finding another way, or being innovative and unique, which may enhance the artistic effect, which is what the author should know.

Part II: Title.
A calligraphy work is generally composed of three parts: the main text, the inscription and the seal, the text is the main body of the work, is the main part, its length is larger, the font is also larger. Its content should be positive and positive. After completing the writing of the main part, it is necessary to enter the title part, which is divided into two types: double paragraph and single paragraph, which are discussed separately below.
1. Double paragraphs, that is, the upper and lower paragraphs, the upper paragraph is for the recipient, generally to use honorific titles and humble words, such as "xx Yazheng", "xx Save", etc., the upper paragraph is inscribed on the upper right, the lower paragraph or the author's signature, or the text of the explanation, or the reason for the explanation, or the time and place are not equal, in the lower left, leaving room from the lower end, the leader is generally called the book of respect, the Buddhist thing is called "Mu Shu", the old man and children can write the year.
2. Single paragraph, only the next paragraph has no upper paragraph. A single paragraph with a small number of words is called a poor paragraph, and it generally only has the author's name.
One or two words. Or just sign the year and the author's name, this is not informal, and the single paragraph should be simple.
Regardless of single paragraph, double paragraph, the font size can not exceed the text, the body is: "today is not more ancient", that is, the paragraph is the font that appears after the body font, such as the line can be charged, Li, seal, Kai can be charged, seal, Li can be charged, so the book can be widely used in the word charge.
The position of the title is in the front and back of the text or in the blank space, the couplet is on the upper and lower couplets, and the title of the work with particularly few words is more flexible, or left or right, or down or empty, flexible and changeable, and the overall should be pleasing to the eye and not violated. The principle is based on the overall aesthetics of the entire calligraphy work.
Part III: Sealing.
Although the seal does not occupy a large position in the work, it gives people a colorful beauty because of its red ink, and changes the black and white color of the work, which has the effect of finishing touch, so it is a necessary ingredient of calligraphy works, and also has the role of "verifying the body". Seals are generally divided into two types: name and number seals and idle seals, which are discussed separately below.
1, the name of the seal, engraved with the name or the number of the chapter called the name of the chapter, usually used in the next paragraph of the following, the name of the chapter has Zhu Wen (Yang) and white (Yin), if one with Zhu Wen, if with two with a Zhu and one white, Yin and Yang harmonize, can not use two Zhu Wen or two Baiwen. If you use two pieces, you should keep enough spaced and the size is the same.
2. Idle chapters, engraved with famous sentences, aphorisms, witty sayings, Buddha statues, landscapes, etc., are called idle chapters, which are used in the upper right corner of the work.
The blank space between the first and second words is also called "the first chapter" and "the first chapter". Idle chapters, can be used or not, but if you use it must be beautiful, positive thinking, and the text matches without contradiction. The shape is generally oblong and irregular, and it is generally Zhu Wen (yang).
In addition, the number of chapters is also particular, generally speaking, it is "used."
One, three don't use.
Two, four", that is, if you use one, only use the name and seal, it is Zhu Wen;If you use three, you should use the idle chapter and the name seal of one Zhu and one white, because.
One and three are yang numbers, and two and four are yin numbers, like kowtowing in the old days is three gods and four ghosts. If the work is respectful to others, it is obviously disrespectful to give the yin product. The Chinese believe that yin is unlucky, so there is no need for it.
II.IV. The name chapter is one Zhu and one white, which is the harmony of yin and yang, and the harmony of yin and yang is smooth and auspicious.
The size of the seal is generally half the size of the word, and there is a saying that "it is better to be small than big". There are no hard and fast rules for the font of the seal, and the commonly used is the seal and the subordinate, and a few use regular script.
Above. About the whole calligraphy work of the creation of the chapter, inscription, with the part of the seal **, so far, most of the personal humble opinion, hope to correct!
