When writing running script, cursive script, official script and regular script, you should hang your elbow and wrist. To write in lower case, it's entirely possible as long as you hang your wrist and empty your elbow. Small letters, although the wrist and fingers exert force at the same time, mainly give full play to the role of finger force. I think the key points of practicing wrist strength are:
(1) from the beginning, the center was emphasized to carry the pen. A brush consists of four parts, namely, the pen holder, the pen root, the pen belly and the pen tip. When writing, the center always lets the pen tip walk in the middle of the stroke, not leaning up and down, nor leaning left and right. A little higher is called a flank, and a little higher is called a flank. The winger can be used a little sometimes, but the winger is absolutely not needed.
② We must learn eight pen-carrying methods, such as reversing the front, pressing the pen, lifting the pen, pausing the pen, moving the pen, turning the front, closing the front and leaving the front. Among them, the reverse front and the back front are to make the strokes hide the front without revealing the front, and the other six are to strengthen the changes of the strokes, so that the strokes are round and square, thick and thin, light and heavy, and have a sense of rhythm, so as to achieve the purpose of beauty, generosity, fluency and bodybuilding.
in a word? The key to practicing wrist strength lies in hanging the wrist. In practice, only by being able to hang one's elbow and wrist, and achieving a high degree of coordination between the heart, body, wrist, fingers and pen, can one do whatever one wants and be superb. This difficult skill can only be mastered by long-term and hard training and gradually tends to be adept at. ?
When you write, you mainly rely on the operation of your wrist, and with the wrist force, you can send every stroke of the word to the place. Of course, at the same time, you need the cooperation of forearm fingers and even the whole body strength, mainly relying on wrist strength. Only the words written by wrist force can be round, full and vigorous, and meet the requirements of calligraphy. ?

Learning method
Description
Pen-holding posture: Five-finger pen-holding method. First, the thumb and middle finger are tightly clamped, and the vacant position in the palm should be like a cube of about 4 cm, and then the ring finger and little finger are naturally placed behind the brush, with the body straight and the arm at a proper distance from the table.
Common methods: Cover the original with thin paper (silk) to write or draw as it is. Painting red is one of the methods.
Pro-writing
The learner refers to the original calligraphy post and writes it on another piece of paper as exactly as possible.
Pro-writing must use scientific methods. Many people who like calligraphy have not been able to enter the temple of calligraphy for a long time because they have not mastered scientific pro-writing methods. ?
memorize
After writing for many times, write it again according to the original image left in your mind.
create
new works written by re-selecting writing content and expression style according to the constantly revised writing habits and writing styles.
Writing posture
It is very important to learn calligraphy posture correctly, especially for teenagers who are just beginning to learn calligraphy. It is difficult to correct incorrect posture, which will affect the progress of calligraphy and the health of bones and eyes. Therefore, learning calligraphy posture must be positive, that is, head, body and hands. There are probably the following postures in calligraphy:
Sitting posture
Anyone who writes within three inches can sit on a book. The desks and chairs for reading should be of moderate height. Keep your head straight, but lean forward slightly, but not sideways. Hips should be straight, waist should be straight, chest should be straight, don't lie on the case, and the chest should generally be kept at a distance of 3-5 inches from the table. Keep your legs open naturally, keep your feet flat, and press the paper with your left hand (the paper should also be put straight).
the position of the pen should be about 6 inches away from the nose. Some people advocate that when writing, the pen is aimed at the tip of the nose, which is too mechanical and stiff, easy to distract attention, and need not be so rigid, as long as the pen is located at the left and right of the nose and the words written are in the middle of the eyes.
standing up for writing
When writing in big characters of more than three inches, you should stand up and write cantilever, so as to make your strength stronger and take care of the whole picture. When standing, you should keep your feet steady, with your right foot slightly stepped out, slightly in a T-step, your right half slightly stretched forward, your waist slightly leaned forward, and your left hand pressed the paper or spread back.
The predecessors advocated that the strength of the lower body should be concentrated on the waist, the shoulder should be pushed by the waist, the upper arm should be driven by the shoulder, and the force should be sent to the pen tip through the upper arm and wrist, which is the so-called "strength is around the waist, and its root is in the foot". This can be gradually realized in practice.
write on your knees
if you write in big characters more than two feet, you can write on your knees or prostrate, which is easy to master the structure of words. The method is to kneel on the left knee, bend the right knee to support the body, and straighten the left hand to help the ground. This method is too flexible and difficult to be effective, so it is best to prepare a short case to write if possible.
No matter when sitting or standing a book, keep a proper distance between the eyes and the paper when writing, which should change with the size of the written words. Small characters should be close and big characters should be far away. Usually, you should write in block letters and big letters, which should be about one city ruler, and the small print should be slightly less than this distance. When writing a large character of more than one foot, there should be a distance of more than two feet, otherwise it is difficult to take care of the relationship between strokes and the overall structure.
