Use a round pen when carrying a pen.

A round pen is when carrying a pen, the pen holder is as vertical as possible, the pen is flat on the paper, and the strokes are round.

The concept of round pen:

Round pen, a method of calligraphy, refers to the circle at the turning point of starting, closing and folding a painting. The method of writing is: turn inside out flat, wrap the pen tip when writing, that is, don't spread the pen tip, then pick up the pen and run until the end, without stopping or folding. This makes the strokes round and relaxed.

The Round Pen in Calligraphy and Fang Bi;

Fang Bi and round pen are the basis of calligraphy pen, and they are also commonly used brushstrokes in calligraphy. In the application, there are actually a circle in a square, a square in a circle and a Fiona Fang.

The round pen originated from the seal script, and the pen should be hidden and round without sharp corners. When writing horizontal painting, you must write flat, vertical painting should be straight, and the pen can be slightly twisted in the circulation, so that the nib is parallel and turns, and the writing is round and vigorous. Cursive script turns round more obviously, and turns round extremely richly. Turning the pen can form a rounded effect, which is smooth and beautiful. For example, in Huai Su's autobiographical posts, the lines of calligraphy are like long live withered vines, lingering, and like flowing clouds and water, rotating in circles.

Fang Bi originated from official script, because there are many square folds in official script, and the circle in seal script has evolved into a square-folded stroke in official script. For example, Fang Bi usually writes in regular script in Liu style from the front, which is one turn more than a round pen, that is, there are two turns, and stippling presents an angular shape, forming a clear and rigid style.
