Asking about the format of calligraphy album

Generally, the number of pages in an album is even, from four pages, eight pages, twelve pages, sixteen pages, twenty-four pages and so on. , and the number of pages can be divided into two volumes, each volume is divided into two or four pages, and the front and back pages are plain white pages (also called protection pages). ? Generally, an outer frame is set, and a hard-shell board mounted on ebony, nanmu or Jin Song is used as the front cover and back cover, and when folded, it becomes a book. This makes it easier to appreciate, carry and save.

There are two ways to classify album pages, namely, style and system classification. Stylistically, album pages can be roughly divided into two categories. One is folded and the other is loose-leaf. Hard-shell covers are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the folded album, and the pages connected with the hard-shell covers are repeatedly folded back and forth, and both sides of the folded album can be painted; Loose-leaf photo albums are relatively simple. Generally speaking, a single job is to frame a single page and box it.
