- The payment is generally up to 2 lines, which can be written below the last line of the text, or it can be another line or two lines after the text;
- The seal should be small and appropriately blank.

If you use four-foot rice paper, it will be four feet and three open, if you use five-foot rice paper, it will be five feet and three open, and so on. Four feet and three open: 69×46 (the length of the standard four-foot rice paper is 1/3, the width remains the same), the regular script needs to be folded, and the line book is not used.
The above one is four feet three open, after the grid is stacked, a total of 24 grids, just write four sentences and five words, and then pay off. The payment can be left in the blank space on the left, because there is no place to write, so I didn't write. This time, "Wangyue", eight sentences, can only be written in two sheets. In the future, you can try to write five sentences or four sentences and seven words in four feet.

Format of calligraphy works
Works written in straight letters on long rice paper that are fully open and folio (half cut or half folded) are called banners. When writing the banner format, it is necessary to arrange the layout reasonably according to the chapter, innovate the idea, and in order to avoid rigidity, the top and bottom of the paragraph are generally not flush with the text.
Banners are generally written in two forms: one line in the center, two lines, or three lines.

width
Format of calligraphy works
The banner is a kind of horizontal format, the length of the banner is not too long, horizontal and vertical writing are OK, the word can only write a column (horizontal), and the word can be written in multiple columns (horizontal).
The placement of the inscription should be just right, and the inscription of multiple lines can make the work more varied, and you can also add a sentence (written before the content) in the main text. The seal is stamped at the beginning, and the name stamp is stamped at the sign.

扇面
Format of calligraphy works
The fan surface is divided into two categories: folding fan and group fan, which is irregular compared to square, horizontal and vertical type. In addition to the fan shape, there are also irregular formats such as albums and rulers.
As far as calligraphy works are concerned, the folding fan fan is a more difficult one, not only to calculate the number of words, the design form, and the paper is not flat, which improves the difficulty of writing, some book friends said that you can go to the framing shop to flatten and then write, but that is also very troublesome, and after flattening, the fan surface is a little bit not good, and there is a better folding fan fan is basically a little expensive, accidentally written bad or very distressed. Therefore, when writing, you have to pay a high degree of concentration, which is also a great test for the calligrapher......
The time of the fan payment is generally used in the public year, and the branch year can also be used. It comes in three forms.
1. The number of words is slightly less, within the width of the fan, write a few words horizontally from left to right, and write small characters in the paragraph, which contrasts with the text.
2. Make full use of the upper end of the fan, basically do not use the lower end, and write two words per line from right to left. The inscription can be a little longer and written on the left side of the text.
3. The upper end is written in turn, the lower end is written in interlaced lines, and the final paragraph is written behind the text.

Chūdō
Format of calligraphy works
The nave is a rectangular work written vertically. THE SIZE IS GENERALLY A WHOLE PIECE OF RICE PAPER (DIVIDED INTO FOUR FEET, FIVE FEET, SIX FEET, EIGHT FEET, ETC., OF WHICH THE SMALL MIDDLE HALL IS 68CM×45CM). Because the size is relatively large, the creator needs to have a skilled technique and the ability to grasp the layout of the work as a whole.
Generally speaking, the hanging of the decorative painting in the middle hall is the focus that can best reflect the spiritual realm of the family and the taste of life. The picture above is a pair of beautiful landscapes with vigorous and powerful calligraphy, which complement each other and show full taste.
Pay attention to the following points when making a payment:
- Don't take the main place, and the priority is different.
- It can be written below the body of the last line, and there should be room for layout.
- The bottom end of the paragraph is generally not flush with the text to avoid rigidity. It can also occupy another line or several lines after the text, and the top and bottom should not be flush with the text.
- The seal should be smaller than the word, and the seal generally needs to leave more than one word, and be stamped below the word, or on the left side of the word.
In addition to the above, common calligraphy works are codex, albums, scrolls, what do you write most often?
