What is the difference between a large and small center hall in calligraphy?

Taking four feet of rice paper as an example, the whole paper vertical work is the big center hall. A four-foot, three-cut vertical work is a small center hall.

The Zhongtang

The Zhongtang is a rectangular piece of work written in vertical lines. The size is usually a whole sheet of Xuan paper (four feet, five feet, six feet, eight feet, etc. (the first two are called small Zhongtang and the second two are called large Zhongtang)). Because the size is relatively large, it requires the creator to have sophisticated techniques and the ability to grasp the layout of the work as a whole. In the creation, pay attention to the main text and the relationship between the main paragraph, to make the main difference between them, accordingly. Paragraph should not be pleasantries over the main. Paragraph can be written at the end of the line below the text, the layout should leave room. The bottom of the paragraph is generally not flush with the text to avoid the rigidity of the form. Can also occupy another line or several lines behind the text, up and down should not be flush with the text. The seal should be smaller than the word paragraph, the seal is generally required to leave more than one word position, covered in the paragraph below the word, can also be covered in the paragraph to the left
