Can I start learning calligraphy by hanging my wrist?

You can use hanging wrist, but it is generally recommended to use pillow wrist when you are just learning calligraphy. For beginners, the occipital wrist is relatively stable, which is convenient for practicing basic skills such as strokes. Wait until you are proficient in writing, then try to hang your wrist. Hanging the wrist is more suitable for grasping the composition of the whole work.

The reason why novices are not suitable for hanging their wrists;

1. At this time, the wrist strength and arm strength are insufficient and cannot be accurately controlled.

2, beginners hang their wrists, the strokes are weak and soft, or there are ink pigs and mouse tails. Once they form a habit, it is difficult to correct it.

We know that when learning calligraphy, we should focus on the strokes in the center. It is difficult to balance wrist strength, arm strength, stroke front, swimming style and posture without being fully familiar with swimming style, resulting in poor swimming style and posture structure.

Therefore, beginners should pillow their wrists, start with regular script, practice their wrists and arms well, and do it step by step, without detours, making rapid progress and getting fun from it.
