How to find the layout of the plate?

Fans have a long history in China, which can be traced back to primitive society. In the Ming Dynasty, Luoxin's Wuyuan said that the fan was first made, and Shen Congwen's Fan History said that the fan was invented to draw wind and cool the air, repel insects and turn dust into dust, and light a fire to keep warm. Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, the earliest fans in the Warring States period were woven with thin bamboo strips.

Later, with the continuous development of handicraft industry, the materials for making fans were diversified (such as Arundo donax, feathers, silk cloth, silk, paper and so on). ) to a variety of fan-shaped materials (rectangle, ellipse, palm, polygon, arc, begonia, etc.). ), and gradually completed the historical process from practicality to art. I don't know who initiated the inscription on the fan, and there is no way to verify it now. This legend should have predated Song Huizong. After Song Huizong, fan calligraphy appeared, such as round fan.

Interpretation of Evonne's cursive script Wan Fan: "The water swallows spin coldly, and the mud falls and the flowers sink."

After the Ming Dynasty, fans were widely circulated. About folding fans, it is said that they were introduced from Japan. Next, I will introduce some forms of fan calligraphy to you.

1, Tuanfan calligraphy.

It's really well-meaning.

2, folding fan calligraphy.

Folding fan calligraphy creation is beyond the reach of other calligraphy creation. The reasons are: first, it is small in size; Second, the surface is uneven; Third, paper does not absorb water; Fourth, the beginning is irregular. Among them, the problem that paper does not absorb water is well solved, and it can be solved by rubbing with talcum powder.

The picture above shows Zhai, a calligrapher in Qing Dynasty, centering on two lines. He is famous for his official script. This work gives the impression that the sky is vast and soaring at will.

The composition of the above picture is staggered, which was written by Lou Jian, a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty. Long lines are written from the upper edge to the lower edge of the sector, and short lines only write two words each, which is flat and uneven.

The composition of the above picture is staggered, that is, one line is full, one line is half, and so on. The whole composition is full and not cramped, and the spatial layout is reasonable.

The composition of the above picture is Changhong style, with two words per line, written along the upper edge of the fan, like a rainbow, and the bottom of the paragraph is flush with the text. Give people a vast and incomparable imagination space.
