The use of the seal of basic knowledge of painting and calligraphy

1. How to use seals in calligraphy works

Seal not only has artistic beauty, but also has the artistic skills of printing.

The seal has the function of making the finishing point. In calligraphy works, if the composition of the white and red characters of the seal is different, and the size is suitable for the characters of the work, or the vermilion inkpad used in the seal is covered with black and white paper to reflect the color, then this "finishing touch" function can be brought into full play.

First, the common sense of the seal: (1) the texture of the seal. Good seals are generally made of stone, and seal engravers in past dynasties mostly used Qingtian stone and Shoushan stone.

In addition to these two kinds of stones, other kinds of stones can also be selected, but the quality of materials is different, so we must pay attention when choosing. (2) the shape of the seal.

There are mainly squares, rectangles, rectangles, circles, circles, natural rectangles or squares. The tones of seal script are mainly white, Zhu, Zhu and white.

Bai Wen and Zhu Wen have different uses: the former is used for China printing and bronze inscriptions, while the latter is used for Qin Xi and clay seals. (3) Types of seals.

There are two main types, name printing and idle printing. The function of the famous chapter is to engrave the author's name and nickname, and the function of the leisure chapter is to engrave some aphorisms and encouraging sentences, which should be drawn up by the users themselves. The number of words should not be too many, and it is best to keep it between two and four words.

In leisure articles, there is a kind of "introduction" which is rectangular, rectangular or long and irregular, and a kind of "pressure angle" which is square in shape. Second, how to use the seal: signature, text size and paper area are the three major factors that determine the size of famous seals and leisure seals.

The seal should not be too small or too big, and there are rules to follow: the size of the paragraph depends on the size of the text, and the size of the seal depends on the size of the inscription, which is consistent with the inscription, and the size of the seal should not exceed the size of the inscription. If there are only one or two words in the text, then the words in the paragraph will inevitably become larger with the text, and the seal will also become larger accordingly.

If the text is written as a brush, then the words in the paragraph should be as small as the text, and the seal should be smaller accordingly. 3. The specific usage of the seal and the stamped part is as follows: (1) seal.

The seals of famous artists are generally square, which should be stamped under the author's name, with the name of Bai Wen above and Zhu Wen's nickname below. Some names, such as Zhu's white articles, are reversed.

Bai Wen and Zhu Wen cannot be stamped with Bai Wen or Zhu Wen at the same time. (2) Leisure articles.

The introduction chapter in the leisure chapter must be covered in the upper right of the work, slightly lower than the text, while the corner seal is covered in the lower right of the work, which is symmetrical with the position of the leisure chapter. The introduction of the first chapter is in the head on the right side of the first line of the text, so there are fewer typos and corner prints in the foot on the right side of the first line of the text, and there are more references.

2. Calligraphy and painting works and common sense of seals

Common sense is as follows: 1, calligraphy and painting are sealed, and the seal is greater than the word.

Of course, it is natural to stamp a big seal and a small seal. 2. Chinese painting is stamped under the lettering, down to the bottom corner, and corner capping is not allowed.

For example, the upper right corner and the lower left corner can be stamped with leisure stamps, and the upper left corner and the lower right corner can be stamped. If the above words are printed near the lower corner, there is no need to stamp the leisure stamp.

3. Chinese painting banners are signed, and the left and right corners are not allowed to be stamped. Square leisure stamp can be affixed to the upper right corner, square leisure stamp can be affixed to the upper left corner and square leisure stamp can be affixed to the lower right corner.

You don't need to stamp a chapter here to be self-defeating 4. Rectangular, circular and rectangular leisure chapters should not be covered in the position of the corner-pressing leisure chapter in the lower corner.

5, the square leisure chapter can not be covered on the painting and calligraphy, usurping the host's role. Extended data:

There are many kinds of seals with a long history. Let me start with the history and types of seals: 1. The ancient seal of the Warring States period is the general name of the pre-Qin seal.

Most of the earliest seals we can see now are ancient seals in the Warring States period. The strokes of seals are as thin as hair, and they are all cast.

The ancient seal script in white language is made by adding more side bars or vertical grids in the middle, and the characters are cast and chiseled. In addition to the names of Sima and Situ, the official seal has various irregular shapes, and the content is also engraved with auspicious words and vivid objects.

2. Qin seal refers to the popular seal from the end of the Warring States Period to the early Western Han Dynasty, and the characters used are called. Look at its calligraphy style and Qin and Han dynasties, Qin stone carvings and other characters are very similar, are more popular than the ancient Warring States period.

Qin seals are mostly carved in white with a square surface. The official seal used by junior officials is about half the size of the general square official seal, rectangular and square, which is called "semi-pass seal". Private seals are generally rectangular, but also round and oval. In addition to official names, personal names and Kyrgyz, there are proverbs and idioms such as "respecting things", "thinking about success" and "being harmonious with the people".

3. In a broad sense, the official seal of the Han Dynasty is the general name of the official seal from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Compared with Qin Zhuan, the seal is more neat, straight, square and vigorous in style.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the handicraft industry was very developed, so the official seal ("Xin" was the name of Wang Mang's dynasty) was particularly exquisite and vivid in the times. seal cutting in the Han Dynasty reached its peak and became a model for later seal engravers to learn. The official seals of the two Han dynasties are mostly white, all of which are cast.

Only a few troops are in urgent need of carving the official seal of the brothers instead of casting it, which will be introduced later. Baidu Encyclopedia: Seal.

3. Common sense of seal calligraphy seal cover method

First, the artistic function of the seal The seal on a calligraphy work is an indispensable part of a calligraphy work. Without a seal, it is not a complete calligraphy work.

The seal was originally a token, which played the role of verification. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, calligraphers gradually realized the artistic function of seals and attached importance to them in their calligraphy works, which led to the emergence of the art of combining book and seal.

Books and seals set each other off and become interesting, which not only adds color to calligraphy works, enlivens the atmosphere and plays the role of "icing on the cake", but also adjusts the center of gravity, makes up for the lack of layout and plays a stable and balanced role in works. Calligraphy works are signed and sealed to show solemnity and prevent forgery; Covered with elegant and meaningful leisure chapters, you can also pin your ambitions and interests in the book.

Therefore, calligraphers have always attached great importance to the use of seals, even their own seal cutting, so that the combination of seals and books has a more beautiful and stronger artistic appeal. Second, several seals (1) commonly used in calligraphy works are the signature seals 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) Leisure chapter is also called layout chapter, including introduction chapter, boundary chapter, corner chapter and waist chapter. 65438+

Whether to quote the first chapter of calligraphy works depends on the need. If the first paragraph is too neat, it needs to be "deformed"; The seal at the end of the paragraph is too heavy and needs to be "upgraded"; The distribution of seals on the works is monotonous, so when it is necessary to "adjust", the first chapter should be considered. (1) The seal of the house number began with the imperial seal of Li Biduan's bedroom in the Tang Dynasty.

After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, this trend became more and more popular, and almost everyone in calligraphers had the seal of fasting. Wen Zhiming, a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, said, "Many of my bookstores are printed."

Zhai Hao is usually called Zhai, Tang, Shi, Lou, Ge, Guan, Xuan, An and so on. , such as Zhai, Tang, Shi, Lou, Ting, Lai Qin Ting, Yu Shang Xuan, An Le Tian and so on. (2) Elegant essays, that is, ancient auspicious words and phrases, are rich in meaning and gentle, or compile philosophical and thought-provoking idioms and aphorisms, or record your hobbies and ambitions.

There are many elegant chapters that encourage people to learn, such as "cutting", "learning from others", "liking books", "being diligent", "learning from the past", "learning from others", "enjoying reading", "being eager to learn makes people understand" and "getting it by accident over time". Those who express their feelings, such as relying on morality, being clear-minded, having fun, having fun in hardships, cherishing shade, being willing to be a scalper, being pure and ice-clear, being indifferent to nature, being square and so on. There are also expressions of pen and ink interest, splashing ink, using a pen, fragrant fields, spiritual interest, hiding from people, clinging, pursuing with hands, and working in inkstone fields. Some people wish good luck, such as "Wish", "Changle", "Beauty is not old", "Lucky Day", "Longevity" and "Eternal Life". (3) The year stamp is used to record the year of calligraphy works, such as Jia Zi, Yi Chou, Bing Yin or 19 * * *, 1990, 1980, 1990.

(4) The month stamp is used to record the month order of calligraphy works, such as last spring, such as the moon and silkworm moon. 1. Marginal seal refers to the seal covering one side of a calligraphy work, which plays the role of blocking the edge and gathering gas.

2. The seal that covers the corner of the calligraphy work is called the 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 close to the corner plays the role of "blocking the edge and sealing the corner", "filling the void" and adjusting and stabilizing the picture. 3. For long calligraphy works such as banners, if only a leading chapter is stamped on the upper right, and the middle looks like a space, a waist chapter can be stamped, the content of which is mostly the native place of the calligrapher, or it can be printed into a small 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. The leisure chapter mentioned above is actually not "idle". If printed properly, the clock can not only play the role of pen and ink, but also play a role that pen and ink can not play.

As Pan Tianshou, a modern painter, said, "Opening a chapter, pressing a corner chapter and a famous chapter can play the role of making the color changes on the screen echo, breaking the flat plate and stabilizing the balance." (3) Collection seal is a seal for collectors to appreciate.

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. Third, the seal on the artistic calligraphy works printed by the seal is not stamped at will, but has certain statutes.

Improper stamping will not only add icing on the cake, but will be self-defeating and destroy the artistic effect of the whole work. Therefore, how to seal it needs to be taken seriously and carefully considered.

Usually, we can grasp the following points: 1, the size is suitable for the size of the seal, it should match the size of the work, it should be equal to the inscription, it can be smaller, and it should not be bigger than the inscription and indecent. If the words are small and the paper is tight, you can use small joint beads to show consideration.

When using two seals of different sizes in a work, in order to stabilize and avoid the shortcomings of top-heaviness, the seal at the top should be small and the seal at the bottom should be large. If several people cooperate, their seals should be the same size.

2. The quantity should be less than the sealed quantity. There is a "useful" seal.

5. Common sense of calligraphy and painting works and seals

Inscription refers to the written content except the written content in calligraphy works.

Inscription includes: the source of text content, the object of gift, the reason of creation, the time of creation, the author's name and font size, etc. There are two kinds of signatures: "double" and "single".

In the two paragraphs, the object and author of the book are placed above and below respectively, the former is the upper paragraph and the latter is the lower paragraph. The preceding paragraph shall specify the name, source and recipient's name of the work; The next paragraph describes the date, place and author's name of creation.

The preceding paragraph: the position should be higher to show respect, including name, title and modesty. Next paragraph: Write the time, place, name and modesty.

If there is a previous paragraph but there is no previous paragraph, it is called a single paragraph, which may or may not contain the contents of the previous paragraph. If there are no books to give away, there are only single items.

A single segment has a long segment, a short segment and a difference segment. A long paragraph refers to adding the author's feelings or reasons for creating this work before the writing time, name and place of the text source. Words should be sincere, meaningful and memorable.

It not only plays a role in adjusting the focus of the work, but also reflects the author's character and cultivation. A short paragraph only includes the source, time, name and place of the text.

If there are many blanks in the work or because of the need of composition, you can leave a long paragraph; If the content of the work occupies the whole picture, it needs to be short or poor. If there is not much paper left and too little blank space, you can also leave the author's name directly and call it "poor money" (as shown below).

When designing the layout of calligraphy works, we should consider the position of inscriptions. If the book is a couplet, the first paragraph must be written in the upper part and the second paragraph in the lower part; Other works are generally written on the left. If they sign in two lines, the first paragraph is written at the front and the next paragraph is written at the back. If you sign a single line, the previous paragraph is written in the upper part and the next paragraph is written in the lower part to show politeness.

Single and double paragraphs can't be flush with the text, so they won't be flush if they are staggered. Generally, there should be a few words in the upper and lower positions, and the signatures should be as close as possible. Generally speaking, the lettering used for inscriptions is official script, regular script is not official script, and cursive script is not regular script.

Signing a contract is generally "modern style of literature and art" and "lively style of literature and art" The characters are Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Da Xiao Zhuan, and the signatures are in seal script, kai script and running script; If the text is official script, regular script or regular script, the signature can be regular script or running script; Cursive script is generally not used for inscriptions, except cursive script itself, because it is difficult to identify.

Running script is the most widely used one, which is easy to identify and lively. The size of the paragraph should be smaller than the size of the text font, so as to make the priority clear.

The above signature forms are vertical works. For banner's works, generally only the contribution fee is paid, not the contribution fee.

Like vertical works, the beginning and end of the inscription cannot reach or exceed the upper and lower words of the text of the work. Commonly used inscription 1. Address elders: my teacher, senior, sir, madam.

Older people over seventy can be called so-and-so old; Old people over eighty can be called XXX.

Don't look at this little piece of red, the finishing touch is really wonderful. 1. Introduction of the first chapter (foil chapter, leisure chapter) This is the seal chapter on the upper right of the work, also called foil chapter, which follows the shape choice of stone. Therefore, the introduction of the first chapter should not be a big square chapter, but a leisure chapter. The content of this small chapter should be mixed with the text. When people get married, you should give a banner "Good intentions prolong life" and cover it with the introduction of the first chapter "Bitterness".

The introduction chapter also includes the following contents: (1) year number chapter: Jiazi, Yechou, Bingyin, 1966, etc. (2) Month stamp: I, Grain Rain, Xia, etc. (3) Ramadan stamps: Jiaoxinzhai, Guanshilou, Banshizhai, Shennanju, Qin Moxuan, Taiyangtang, Morenju, Ruide Caotang and ji zi Pavilion.

6. What are the seals of calligraphy (specific writing) and their uses?

There are many kinds of calligraphy and painting seals.

It can be divided into positive and negative languages, seals with different materials (such as stone and resin), seals with different shapes (special shapes such as square, circle and triangle) and seals with different functions (name seal, idle seal, etc.). There are two main types of seals: name seal and leisure seal. The name stamp is engraved with the author's name, or single surname, or alias, and is stamped under or next to his name.

Depending on the size of the lower space with one or two sides, if the name is more than two-thirds of the longitudinal length, it can be stamped with seals on both sides. If the name is very low, there is no seal, and the space next to it is large, the left side of the name can be stamped. The content of leisure articles often entrusts the author's thoughts and feelings and views on art. , can help the audience understand the author's work. Leisure articles are actually not idle and rich in content.

Leisure chapters are generally covered in the blank space on the right next to the word line, which is also called "introduction chapter"; Cover the blank space after the title, also known as "foot stamp". The shapes of seals are square, round, oval or irregular, large and small.

The size of the name stamp should be consistent with the font and book size of the work. Leisure articles can be slightly larger, but they should also be commensurate with the length and style of the book.

In short, it should be coordinated with the composition and layout of the whole work. There are two kinds of printing: Zhu Wen and (there are also half-square Zhu Wen and half-square). Zhu Wen is a positive seal and a negative seal.

According to the needs of layout, we usually use white articles in negative language. Calligraphy is an art form of writing expression in the world, including China calligraphy, Mongolian calligraphy, * * * * calligraphy and English calligraphy.

Among them, "China Calligraphy" is a unique traditional Chinese character art in China. Calligraphy in a broad sense refers to the writing rules of characters and symbols.

In other words, calligraphy refers to writing with its brushwork, structure and composition according to the characteristics and significance of words, making it a beautiful work of art.
