Section 1, basic postures
1. Sitting method
The posture for writing with a pen is usually a sitting posture. The method requires that the head is straight, the body is straight, and the feet are Keep your chest straight, your elbows flat, your sight one foot away, press the paper with your left hand, and write with your right hand, trying to be natural.
2. Writing method
The popular pen writing method is the "three-finger tiger's mouth method". That is, use the front end of the first joint of the thumb and index finger to clamp the penholder from the left and right sides; use the side of the first joint of the middle finger to hold the penholder from bottom to top; the tail end of the penholder rests on the tiger's mouth. Although the ring finger and little finger cannot touch the pen barrel, they must be close to the middle finger. All five fingers are slightly bent toward the palm of the hand, so that the fingers are solid and the palm is empty. Do not clench your fist.
3. Fingering
With reasonable use of fingering, you can write strokes of various thicknesses.
Fingering is a method of writing a stroke or a word using mainly finger movements and supplemented by wrist movements. It refers to the specific performance of finger movements during the writing process of the pen. When the pen holding angle is approximately 45 degrees before writing, the bending of the five fingers should remain moderate. When writing, the fingers make stretching movements forward, backward, left and right from time to time to change the angle of the pen tip and the thickness of the strokes, so as to obtain the "aura" of the words. To master correct fingering techniques, you must use finger movements as much as possible to reduce wrist movements when writing.
Section 2: How to learn pen calligraphy
To learn pen calligraphy, you must have two elements: one is method, and the other is perseverance. When practicing pen calligraphy, you must pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Training should start with regular script. Regular script embodies the structure of Chinese characters and the basic rules of writing. Only by mastering the writing skills of regular script can you progress from slow to fast. Practice makes perfect, laying a solid foundation for writing good running script.
2. Choose a good copybook
How to choose a copybook can be considered from two angles: First, it is what you like, so that you will feel more friendly and interested in learning it. The results are naturally good; secondly, it is suitable for your own writing characteristics, so that you can practice it easily and get twice the result with half the effort.
3. Master the method of copying a post
The best way to read a post is to read the post - read the post - copy the post - memorize the post.
Reading Tie is to prepare for Mo Tie and Lin Tie. It focuses on observing the frame structure, combination proportion, stroke layout and pen-handling characteristics of Chinese characters, so as to know it well and lay a solid foundation for the next step of writing. As Huang Tingjian said in "Shu Lun": If you are fascinated by the view, your writing will be as desired.
Motie uses relatively transparent paper to cover the copybook for printing and writing. By practicing this way, you can initially master the writing method of stipples, control the size of fonts, and gradually change your bad writing habits.
To write a copy is to put the copybook in front of you and copy it. In this way, you can fully grasp the correct way of writing characters - the strokes are light, heavy, fast, slow, the structure is neat and smooth, and the stipples echo. First, you can cultivate your own observation of characters, and see the interrelationships and subtle changes between dots and dots, parts and parts; second, you can understand the characteristics of the character in terms of form and charm, so that the writing can be smooth and well-proportioned. The key to copywriting is to "carefully compare", that is, to see the difference between the words written by yourself and the words on the copybook in terms of the starting point, length, expansion and spacing of the stipples. If a stroke doesn't look like it, just change that stroke. If it doesn't look right, just correct that spot. You must work hard to learn to be like it.
Memorizing the copybook means memorizing the form of the characters without looking at the copybook. Only when the experience is clear and the recitation is similar can one be considered a master. At the same time, we should be careful not to overdo it. Each character must be practiced dozens or hundreds of times, striving to learn the image and write it well. For words that are difficult to write or words that cannot be written well, you should focus on practicing and making breakthroughs.
To practice writing, as long as you are determined, confident, diligent, good at analyzing and comparing, and perseverant, you will achieve the desired goal.
