Oblique skimming method: The writing steps of oblique skimming method are as follows: slightly exert force when starting the pen, tilt to the lower right, gradually reduce the force, and gently lift the pen at the tip of the skimming pen to form an arc. The inclination angle should be about 45 degrees from the horizontal.

Vertical apostrophe is generally used in the left half of words, such as moon, field, big and so on. Pay attention to the turning point when writing, so as to highlight the rhythm of painting. At the same time, keep the center pen and increase the flexibility of lines.
