The beauty of strokes lies in "force". This "force" should be mainly understood as vivid and powerful, making people feel full of vitality. If a word is compared to an organic and harmonious life, then strokes are vivid and powerful life units.
The rhythm of calligraphy lines is also one of the important conditions for evaluating and appreciating works, which is reflected in calligraphy, not only in the length and thickness of lines, but also in the speed of strokes.
No matter what kind of writing style, raising a pen is not a "uniform" action, but the speed of raising a pen is adjusted according to the requirements of the artistic conception and composition of the book, so that the viewer is infected by the artistic conception of the book.
