What seal should calligraphy be engraved with?

Usually, a name seal is an indispensable work. That is to say, there is your surname, first name, or number, nickname and so on. These stamps are the last stamp of signature, indicating the source of this work.

(1) name stamp

The name stamp is the signature stamp of the inscription. Some names are linked together, while others are separated. The inscription is stamped with the word "one surname" as positive, and a surname can also be used. The name of the printed paragraph; The word, and then use the name stamp.

If money has a surname, you can use a name stamp. If money has no surname or no signature, you should use a name stamp to identify the author. The ancients used chapters and paid attention to etiquette; Anyone who is humble and young should be honored by books and should use a name seal; Words and seals used between peers; If the elders want to give it to the humble and young, they can use another stamp. On the contrary, it is ridiculous and generous. Zhang Daqian, a modern painter, believes that the shape of the name stamp is "square is the best, round is ok, and the waist is naturally not."

Famous seals are generally divided into Zhu Wen (Yang Wen) and Bai Wen (Yin Wen). When a calligraphy work is stamped with two seals, it is best to have one Zhu and one white, and the two seals are appropriate in size. When multiple chapters are used at the end of a paragraph, the order is that the name chapter comes first, and the words and numbers chapter comes last.

(2) Idle chapter

Leisure articles are also called layout articles, including introduction articles, border articles, corner articles and waist articles.

The first chapter is a chapter printed in the upper right corner of calligraphy works, also known as "conformal chapter", which is carved out of the shape of stone. Generally, it should not be square, but translucent, rectangular, circular, semi-circular, conformal gourd-shaped, natural and shaw-shaped.

Edge-blocking seal refers to a seal covering one side of a calligraphy work, which plays the role of edge-blocking and gas gathering.

A seal on the corner of a calligraphy work is called a corner seal. Take the one in the upper right corner as the "response" and the two corners as the "betting angle". Stop the side chapter and take only one side; Corner sealing can control both sides, and it plays the role of "blocking edges and sealing corners", "supplementing emptiness" and adjusting and stabilizing the picture near the corners.

Long calligraphy works, such as banners, can only be stamped with an introductory stamp on the upper right, so that there is a gap in the middle. They can be stamped with a waist stamp, and the content is mostly the calligrapher's native place, or they can be printed in a Xiao shape by the calligrapher's zodiac. The middle chapter is smaller than the first chapter and the famous chapter at the end of the paragraph, and the three chapters cannot be covered by a straight line.

(3) Collecting seals

Collection identification stamp is a kind of stamp for appreciation collectors. According to records, the seal collection also began in the Tang Dynasty and prevailed after the Song Dynasty. Tang Taizong wrote the word "Zhenguan" with Lian Zhuyin, and Tang Xuanzong wrote the word "Kaiyuan" with Lian Zhuyin, both of which were royal Tibetan calligraphy and painting.

Later collections have many names, such as collection, keeping secrets, examination and approval, appreciation and reading. The seal for collection should be based on the size of the calligraphy and painting to avoid damaging the calligraphy and painting. For the sake of their immortality, some collectors often destroy the map when they stamp it, so be careful.

Bai Zhu text printing

Zhu's alternate printing style is very ingenious in China and India. It is said that it originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Its ways are extremely diverse, and the position arrangement and word number of Bai Zhu characters can be flexibly changed without restriction. The number of seals cited here can be seen. Bai Zhu's principle is to look at the number of strokes, Zhu Wen is mostly the number of strokes, Zhu Wen is mostly the number of strokes, while Bai Wen is the opposite, thus achieving the harmonious effect of Zhu Bairu and Bai Ruzhu. Most of these seals are privately printed and not used for official seals.

Female seal

Mother seal, also known as "seal", originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and prevailed in the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. It is a seal composed of two or three seals. A person's stomach is empty, and one or two baby seals can be properly inserted to form the shape of a mother's pocket. There are also two seals on one side (such as the "country one" seal in the right column) to form a group of three parties. There are several seals in the volume of one seal, which shows the technical level of ancient printing.

Six-sided printing brush

There are few six-sided prints handed down from generation to generation. This kind of "convex" print has a hole in the nose, which can be worn, and a small print on the nose, together with the other five printing surfaces, is called six-sided print. The typical style of six-sided printing handed down from ancient times is a white band with one line for each word, which is dense on the top and sparse on the bottom. The vertical strokes of the seal are long and drooping, and the tip is as sharp as a hanging needle, so it has the common name of "hanging needle seal". Although this style has the advantages of stroke stretching and contrast, it is easy to become vulgar, far less than that of China and India, so seal engravers have only done it occasionally.
