1, Tibetan front: it doesn't mean the center, but it can be explained by hiding the head and protecting the tail. The expression "traces of discrepancy" refers to the hidden front when starting and closing a pen. If the pen starts to turn left, it will turn right first; Retract the pen to the left, and then retreat to the right, which can be said to be a reversal.

2. Tibetan head: this should refer to the front, that is, the center. Because the explanation is that "the round pen belongs to paper, so the pen is always moving in electric painting", if it refers to the "hidden head" of "hiding the head and protecting the tail", it is a beginning, so it cannot be explained. The round pen belongs to paper, which means that the pen falls behind the Tibetan front, goes down with the trend and is laid flat on the paper.

3. Horizontal ruler and vertical pen: refers to the strokes of horizontal pen and vertical pen. Horizontal painting can't be flush blindly, but like fish scales, it looks flat and uneven. Vertical painting can't go straight down, it must be fast and slow, and there is astringency in the disease, such as pulling the reins, which is tightened from time to time in constant relaxation, so it is called horizontal ruler vertical pulling.
