1, write against the trend
Write against the trend, that is, want to be right first, want to be down first. There are three methods for each stippling: start and receive. If you oppose the Tibet Front, you will get the secret. Tibetan front is the first element in calligraphy. Writing against the front can make the strokes fuller, stiffer and rounder. Commonly used in seal script, official script and regular script.
2. Lift and press the pen
Lifting pressure is the key to calligraphy. Lifting pressure can change the thickness of strokes, showing a strong sense of rhythm. In the process of writing, pressing should be natural, not abrupt and not excessive. If it is excessive, it will appear artificial and unattractive.
3. Rotating pen and folding pen
Turning pen and folding pen are two basic methods in calligraphy. Turning pen is mostly used for seal script and official script, and folding pen is mostly used for regular script and running script. The pen is round and natural, and folded neatly.
4. Fang Bi and the round pen
Fang Bi and Round Pen are two different calligraphy styles. Fang Bi is mostly used in official script and regular script, showing vigor and strength; Round pens are mostly used in seal script and cursive script, which is round and smooth. Fang Bi should be clear, and the round pen should be round and natural.
5. Center and winger
Middle and side are two different effects in calligraphy. The center is mostly used for regular script and official script, and the side is mostly used for cursive script and official script. The center should be heavy and powerful, and the wings should be light and elegant.
6. Expose the front and Tibet front
Exposed front and hidden front are two different forms of expression in calligraphy. Dew front is mostly used for cursive writing and lettering, showing agility and elegance; Tibetan front is mostly used in official script and regular script, and its performance is subtle and steady. The exposed front should be flexible and natural, and the hidden front should be calm and steady.
7. Priority and rhythm
Priority and rhythm are important factors in calligraphy. Priority refers to the speed change of strokes, and rhythm refers to the priority change between strokes. In the process of writing, we should arrange priorities and rhythms according to the length, thickness and size of strokes.
8, joint and echo
Contact and echo are two important concepts in calligraphy. Joint refers to the connection and cohesion between strokes, and echo refers to the echo relationship between strokes. In the process of writing, we should pay attention to the relationship between association and echo to make the whole glyph more harmonious and unified.
