Classification of calligraphy hooks

The classification of calligraphy hooks is as follows:

1. Vertical hooks: when the pen is drawn vertically, it will be slightly suspended, and when it goes down vertically, it will naturally bend to the right. When the pen is started again, it will be lighter and lighter, and finally, it will be hooked up.

2. Cross hook: when you start slightly, write horizontally to the right, with the left lower and the right higher. When the end of the cross is slightly paused, the hook should be short and powerful.

3. Vertical hook: it is required to draw vertically downward, turn lightly and fluently, draw horizontally flat and slightly downward, and draw the hook straight upward.

4. horizontal hook: start the pen lightly, put it in the air, write it in an arc to the right, from light to heavy, and leave the hook to the upper left. The hook should echo the next pen.

5. Oblique hook: Start slightly, go down to the right with a slight arc in the middle, and go up to the right after the lower part. Pay attention to one stroke, from heavy to light and then from light to heavy in one go.

6. Hook: When starting the pen slightly, bend the pen downward to the right, stand at the lower end of the pen, and hook it upward to the left.

7. Float Goose Hook: It is named after it looks like a goose floating on the water. Don't write vertically, but bend slightly to the left. The method of using the pen is as follows: starting the pen vertically-writing to the left and returning to the right arc-to the left of the hook-ready to hook out.

8. Gog hook: When Gog hook and sketch are used as a fixed structure, the posture of Gog hook will change richly due to the size of the enclosed part. When writing, the writing position and the hook position should be on a vertical line.

Skills of oblique hook in calligraphy

1. Start with a pause: oblique hook should pause before writing, which can increase the strength and momentum of strokes.

2. The radian should be moderate: the oblique hook should maintain a certain radian during the stroke, but the radian should not be too big or too small, and should be adjusted according to the needs of the font and strokes.

3. The hook direction should be accurate: the hook direction of the oblique hook should be upward, and the angle should be moderate, and it should not be too inclined or too straight.

4, the strength should be even: the oblique hook should use a pen to evenly force during the stroke, so as not to neglect the weight, so as not to affect the quality of strokes.
