How to practice fluent and stiff calligraphy

When writing, we mainly rely on the operation of the wrist, and rely on the wrist force to send every stroke of the word to the place. Of course, wrist lifting also requires the cooperation of forearm fingers and even the whole body strength, but it mainly depends on wrist strength. Only the words written by wrist force can be round and full, vigorous and powerful, and meet the requirements of calligraphy. Generally speaking, when writing running script, cursive script, official script and regular script, we should hang our elbows and wrists. If you want to write in lower case, you can just hang your wrist and empty your elbow. Small letters, although the wrist and fingers exert force at the same time, mainly give full play to the role of finger force. I think the key point of practicing wrist strength is: 1. Emphasize the writing of the center from the beginning. A writing brush consists of a pen holder, a pen root, a pen belly and a pen tip. When writing, the center always makes the pen tip walk in the middle of the stroke, without tilting up and down or left and right. The taller one is called flank, and the taller one is called flank. Sideways can be used sometimes, but they are absolutely unnecessary. We must learn eight methods of lifting the pen, such as back stroke, pressing the pen, lifting the pen, stopping the pen, moving the pen, turning the front, closing the front and leaving the front. Among them, the anti-front and anti-back are to hide the strokes without revealing them, and the other six are to strengthen the changes of strokes, so that the strokes are round and square, thick and thin, light and heavy, and have a sense of rhythm, thus achieving the purpose of beauty, generosity, fluency and bodybuilding. In short, the key to practicing wrist strength lies in hanging the wrist. In practice, only when you can bend your elbow and wrist, and achieve a high degree of coordination between your heart, body, wrist, fingers and pen, can you do whatever you want and be superb. This difficult skill can only be mastered through long-term and arduous training, and gradually become proficient.
