Clamp the pen with three fingers, and hold the remaining finger close to the brush tube.
To push and pull freely to write, wrist strength is the key.

Only when a person has a correct mind and a correct pen can he write correctly.
My heart is calm and my words are harmonious, and I have Zhang Youchi who knows how to write.
3. Strokes
The strokes should be straight and strong when encountering turning points.
The center's use of the pen is the key, and there are rules for raising the button and setting off the ball.
4. Font shape
Chinese characters are straight and beautiful, and the glyph structure is the key.
There are rules for splitting and combining, and there must be laws for reasonable combinations.
5. Composition
Calligraphy works are elegant and look best when arranged neatly.
The composition and layout are beautiful, and the vivid charm is the most important.
6. Sitting posture
When sitting at the table, your posture should be upright, and your head should be raised and your chest should be calm.
Put your arms on the table and spread your legs naturally.
