How to write

The most common way to hold a pen with five fingers: when holding a pen, hold the pen tube with the abdomen of thumb, index finger and middle finger, and hold the pen tube with the part where the nail of ring finger meets the flesh, and the little finger naturally sticks to the ring finger. The essentials of writing can be summarized by "pointing to reality, palm deficiency, wrist flat, palm vertical, body straight and foot safe", which means that using a pen is important and appropriate. If it is too tight, it will be stiff, easy to get tired and shake. If it is too loose, stippling may be weak. Palm deficiency means that there should be a gap between fingers and palms, and between thumb and forefinger, so you can't hold it in large quantities. The need for a firm palm is like holding a bird in your hand. If you hold it too tightly, the bird will be killed. It's too loose, and the bird will fly away again. In other words, be flexible and moderate. Wrist level means that the plane between the two joints on the wrist is roughly parallel to the desktop, and the wrist should be lower than the palm, so that the palm will stand up. Writing is about wrist strength. If you sit and write with your elbows on the book, if you don't keep your wrists flat and your palms upright, your stippling may be weak. The wrist is flat, which means that you should be close to flat when writing, but you don't have to be like this all the time when writing. Writing in the hand, writing in the wrist, writing is realistic, writing is alive. When lifting a pen, the left and right joints of the wrist are constantly moving up and down, otherwise, when writing, the arms will mechanically move in parallel. Upright refers to sitting up straight when writing, with the chest standing naturally and one punch away from the desktop. When the right hand writes, the left hand presses on the paper to balance the strength. If you bend your head when writing, not only will your handwriting be bad, but your eyesight and spine will also be affected over time. At the end of Qing Dynasty, there was a calligrapher named Tang Tuo in Wujin County, Jiangsu Province. Tang Tuo studies very hard. He gets up before dawn every day and studies hard. After three years, his regular script has made great progress, but he has become hunched because of his sitting posture. This lesson is worth learning. Foot safety means that when writing, your feet are slightly open, shoulder width apart, and you lie flat on the ground to keep your body stable.
