Gui Mao's signature calligraphy works in 2008

Calligraphy works engraved in Guimao Year include: Guimao Year, such as Guimao Year Book.

Calligraphy is divided into brush calligraphy and hard pen calligraphy. If it is brush calligraphy, the traditional format is generally used. Signature can have a deposit. Only the next paragraph is commonly used, and the format is: time (generally not Gregorian calendar)+(place)+author+(respect) book. Such as: "Gui Mao Chun Yue Gu Feng Tang so-and-so Zun Shu."

In traditional calligraphy, dates are marked by years, and months are marked by lunar calendar, not specific to a certain day. If it is hard-pen calligraphy and horizontal writing, it can be written in modern format: some day in 2023. If it is vertical, it should also be in the traditional format.

The year of Guimao is one of the first years of the lunar calendar, such as 1903, 1963 and 2023 (a 60-year cycle), which means that trunks and branches are literally equivalent to trunks and branches. In ancient China, the sky was dominant and the earth was subordinate. The connection between heaven and stem is called heavenly stem, and the connection between earth and stem is called earthly branch. Together, it is called heavenly stems and earthly branches, or "dry branch" for short.

The years from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve of the following year are all "Guimao years", so Guimao first month can be written as Guimao first month. Inscription, also known as inscription, is an explanatory text outside the text. Although it is in a "supporting role" in the work, it can play the role of explaining, exerting, remedying and completing the text.
