What is the correct format and template for calligraphy inscriptions?

The correct format and template of calligraphy signature:

1. Format:

Calligraphy signature is not only the tail, but also includes the author’s calligraphy works in addition to the main text. All written content other than content. A complete signature includes: the source of the text content, recipient, reason for creation, creation time, author's name, font size, etc.

2. Sample:

The essentials of calligraphy signing are as follows:

(1) The words in the signature should not be larger than the words in the main text theme. The font size should be smaller and coordinated than the main text.

(2) The title cannot be placed on top of the entire text. There are many such situations in national exhibitions, which is very inappropriate.

(3) The seal must not be larger than the signed words. A large seal on a large scale and a small seal on a small scale.

(4) The font of the signature is usually "wengujinjin" or "wenzhengjinhuo". A detailed analysis is: no seal script for official script, no official script for regular script, and no regular script for cursive script; the main text is oracle bone script , bronze inscriptions, large and small seal scripts, seal script, Zhang cursive, regular script, and running script can be used for inscription; if the main text is official script, regular script, or Wei stele, regular script or running script can be used for inscription; in practice, the most commonly used inscription font is running script, which is easy to recognize and vivid.

(5) Avoid using your own writing habits too much, especially in the early stages of creation. Because our creations often rely on a certain copybook or a certain calligrapher, if we write according to our own writing habits, it will definitely be inconsistent with the style and appearance of the text, let alone coordinated. Therefore, the signature should also follow the same writing habits and general style as the main text.
