The basic shape of Chinese characters is square, but through the expansion and contraction of stippling and the torsion of axis, various moving shapes can also be formed, thus combining into beautiful calligraphy works. The form of the knot is mainly influenced by two factors: one is the need to express the interest of calligraphy; The second is the formal factors of calligraphy performance.

As far as the latter is concerned, it is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the influence of calligraphy, such as the vertical rectangle of seal script; Second, the influence of glyphs, some of which are oblate and some are rectangular; The third is the influence of composition. Therefore, only under the control of the above two factors can we create beautiful knots by actively creating forms.
