What is the emphasis on the seal of calligraphy works? In Yang or Yin?

1. The seal of a calligraphy work consists of yin (the word is blank) and yang (the word is red), and the font of the seal must be seal script. Inscriptions are generally printed in negative. If the inscription needs to be stamped with two seals, it should be yin first and then yang.

Second, the seals on paintings and calligraphy are mainly divided into three categories: the seal of the author himself; The seal of the engraver; The imprint of collectors and connoisseurs. These seals are divided into three aspects: name, font size, Zhai Guan and Tang Haoyin; Write at will, Kyrgyz, aphorism seal; Collect and appreciate seals.

Third, the name and font size are printed, which are generally stamped under or around the author's name. The seals of Zhai Guan and Tang are usually placed around or under the words, but they are also used as greetings and placed in the upper right corner. The seals of articles, auspicious words and aphorisms are generally covered in the lower left corner of calligraphy and painting as chess pieces and greetings. The seal for collection and appreciation is generally stamped on the left and right corners of paintings and calligraphy, or it does not hinder the blank space of the paintings and calligraphy works themselves, or it can be stamped on the mounting other than paintings and calligraphy.

4. The name stamp is the signature stamp. 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. 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.

Fifth, 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."

The seals of famous calligraphy and painting works should also have a certain artistic level. If the seal is poor, there is the possibility of counterfeiting. The artistic level of seal is mainly different from calligraphy, composition and knife, especially the use of words can not be wrong. It is impossible for a famous painter to write and use typos often.

The identification of seals depends on the color of inkpad. Although the color of an ancient painting seal may be bright, it will become vigorous and calm with the passage of time and vicissitudes. Inpad is made of cinnabar. The color of cinnabar is stable, but the long-term imprint will also change, although the change is small. The performance of gold is stable, but the new gold will still be different from the gold handed down for many years. Therefore, the color of seals on ancient paintings and calligraphy can't be the same as that on modern works.

A good painting, from the artistic point of view, mainly from three aspects: First, the painting itself, such as style, composition, pen and ink, color. Second, the inscriptions, such as position, font and size, are consistent with the painting itself and have a certain level of calligraphy. Third, seals, such as style, size, genre, the collocation of yin and yang seals, the position of seals, the correctness of words, the unity of calligraphy and painting, etc.

Since Ming and Qing Dynasties, seal, as an important part of painting and calligraphy, has become a stereotype. A comprehensive painter should have the theory of calligraphy and painting, be familiar with calligraphy, painting and seal cutting, and be skilled in techniques.

Some famous painters are like this, such as Zhang Daqian, Fu Baoshi, Qi Baishi, Wu Changshuo, Zhao and Gao. They are not only good at calligraphy and painting, but also good at printing, so the seals they use can better match their paintings and achieve more perfect harmony and unity.
