How to prevent hand shaking when writing calligraphy

The main cause of hand trembling is the interaction between psychology and physiology. When people are dealing with unfamiliar or unskilled things, psychological tension often leads to physical (muscle) tension first, and different parts will tremble. Hand tremors in writing brush strokes are also due to "inexperience", and psychological stress causes the muscles in the relevant parts to be too tense, which will lead to jitter. When you are proficient in calligraphy, hand shaking will naturally disappear.

How to overcome the phenomenon of hand shaking when you just learn calligraphy?

First of all, don't take the essentials of writing too seriously, just experience the feeling of writing brush, just like eating with chopsticks. After a period of time, you will find that the control of the brush is like the donkey in Guizhou, which is nothing. At this time you can focus on the technical essentials.

Secondly, when you start learning Chinese characters, don't pursue "hanging your wrist" or "hanging your elbow", you can rely on it. For example, put your left hand under your right wrist, or put your elbow on the table. From the so-called "finger strength" practice, then hang the wrist to practice wrist strength, then hang the elbow to practice arm strength, step by step.

It is worth noting that "dependence" should change from time to time and cannot be relied on forever.
