1. Three-finger holding method
The fundamentals of holding a brush are generally divided into two categories. One is the three-finger pen-holding method, and the other is the five-finger pen-holding method. The three-finger writing method mostly appeared in the Pre-Qin, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty. First, because there was no paper at that time, calligraphers wrote on bamboo slips, and it was easier to write with the three-finger method.
On the other hand, people at that time sat cross-legged on the ground, and some even sat with their knees on the ground, with their buttocks sitting on their kneeling legs. At that time, there were no benches or tables, only machines like coffee tables. Because the machines were very low, your hands had to be raised when writing, so the three-finger method was mostly used. This method was spread to Japan and has been followed to this day.
2. The five-finger writing method
In the late Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, especially modern people, more and more people adopted the five-finger writing method, and it was the most widely used. The "Five Finger Holding Technique" is to use all five fingers of the right hand, and use the method of "pressing, pressing, hooking, pushing, and resisting" to hold the pen steadily so that the fingers can perform their respective duties.
