The correct posture is to sit at the table, with feet naturally separated, feet down-to-earth, lower limbs stable, shoulders flat and back straight, chest punching from the table, left hand pressing paper, right hand writing, head slightly leaning forward and staring at the pen tip. The correct way to hold the pen is to hold the pen with the thumb belly, forefinger belly and the first section of the middle finger of the right hand. Three fingers hold the pen on the same plane, and three fingertips almost touch each other. The three-finger pen should not be too high or too low, about 2.5 to 3 cm. The ring finger and the little finger do not touch the pen, but are placed behind the middle finger and glued to the paper together. In addition, the five fingers should be solid and the palms should be empty. The pen holder should be inclined at about 45 degrees to the paper surface, and the upper part of the pen holder should lean against the joint between the index finger and the palm, not against the tiger's mouth.
China's traditional calligraphy theory thinks that China's calligraphy strokes can be summarized by "eight methods of ancient characters": the point is the side, the horizontal is the le, the vertical is the crossbow, the hook is the Yu, the lift is the strategy, the skimming is the prey, the short skimming is the pecking, and the pinching is the truth. In layman's terms, the point is like a bird turning sideways, horizontal like a rein, vertical like a crossbow, hooked like a human will jumping, lifted like a whip on horseback, left like a comb, short like a bird pecking, pressed like a knife, and the pen tip opened. There are 28 basic strokes in hard-pen regular script: horizontal, vertical, left hand, right hand, dot, vertical hook, arc hook, hook hand, horizontal hook, vertical hook, horizontal hook, horizontal hook, horizontal hook, horizontal hook, left hand, horizontal hook, vertical hook and horizontal hook. There are certain stroke rules in the stroke writing of Chinese characters, that is, horizontal lifting and vertical lifting, light strokes, a pause at the turning point, and all strokes are written in one stroke. Stroke changes slightly in different Chinese characters, so we should pay attention to observation and write accurately.
When selecting posts, it is recommended to choose your favorite regular script to practice. It is recommended to choose copybooks for long-term practice and not to change them easily. Reading posts means reading glyphs, structures, strokes and so on. Description is described in red, and the model words for description are covered with transparent paper. Sticking is to put the copybook aside and write it on your own paper. You should pay attention to mastering the structure of words. Reciting is to close the copybook and write words by memory in your mind. Creation is the ultimate realm, and it is necessary to cultivate feelings for words on the basis of the above steps, so as to draw inferences from one another and be vivid.
Knowing the correct method of practicing calligraphy does not mean that you can master the correct method of practicing calligraphy. You need to master it step by step in practice in order to truly integrate the correct method of practicing calligraphy into your usual writing and calligraphy creation. Among them, professional correction and guidance are very important, and it is not recommended to practice in a closed way.
