Inscriptions, also known as inscriptions, inscriptions, paintings, inscriptions or inscriptions, originally refer to the words carved by ancient Zhongding Yi wares. The title of a painting includes two aspects: title and title. Write a poem on a painting called a title. The characters in paintings are divided into paintings, poems (words), notes, postscript and titles. Write the year and month, and sign the name, alias and seal on the painting, which is called "money". Some paragraphs also record the place of origin, age and painting place. If it is a donor's work, you must also write the recipient's name, font size, title, entertainment terms, modest words, etc. , and the content and format vary greatly. In practical application, the distinction between title and paragraph is not strict, and sometimes it is generally called title. Inscriptions should not only have exquisite poems, but also exquisite calligraphy. Therefore, inscriptions must be highly cultivated in both literature and calligraphy.

The manuscript withdrawal of calligraphy and painting is divided into the previous paragraph and the next paragraph, and the next paragraph also becomes the signature.

The previous paragraph is mostly a gift for someone, or a multiple choice question for painting and calligraphy.

The year and month of the next paragraph, signature name, alias, native place, and some things that the author thinks should be recorded, etc.

The inscription of calligraphy and painting is realized through calligraphy. Bad calligraphy will ruin the picture. Chinese painting stresses "the same origin of painting and calligraphy", on the one hand, it is the mutual penetration of techniques, on the other hand, it is manifested in the inscription and postscript, which requires the style, style and painting style to be coordinated and the brushwork to be unified. Generally speaking, seal script, official script and regular script should be used for meticulous brushwork, and cursive script, official script and running script should be used for freehand brushwork. Whether it is meticulous or freehand brushwork, under normal circumstances, all inscriptions are written in thick ink. The arrangement of characters should be coordinated with the picture.

Chinese painting is a comprehensive art integrating poetry, calligraphy, seal cutting and painting, and it is a unique artistic tradition of Chinese painting. The calligraphy of poems inscribed on China's paintings not only helps to supplement and deepen the artistic conception of paintings, but also enriches the artistic expression of pictures. It is one of the important means for painters to express their feelings, express their individuality and enhance the artistic appeal of paintings.
