Fan calligraphy works

There are two kinds of fan calligraphy: folding fan and round fan.

The folding fan is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which is radial. When writing, there are usually more words than one line, so that it is uneven and dense. The fan sector of a round fan is generally round, and it should be laid out with an opening when writing.

This paper introduces the creative form of folding fan. 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 folding fan 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.

And present a poem suitable for this calligraphy paper. There may be nothing to write about poetry, but there are some.

Wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent. This is called a gentleman: the writing format is determined according to the number of words, and the tightness of the folding fan shape is selected according to the content.

Climbing mountains is full of emotion, while watching the sea is full of meaning. My ability will go hand in hand with the wind and cloud: it is difficult to write on a folding fan, but I want to ride it. Convex marks and dents have different reactions to soft brushes, so it is difficult to appreciate the taste without practice.

When we leave at four o'clock in the day without saying anything, everything is alive without saying anything: the round paper book is eye-catching and generous with couplets. The horizontal trend of official script makes up for the gap between the left and right of the round fan.
