How to hold the brush:
When we first learn calligraphy, the first thing we learn is the correct posture for holding the brush. For those who have signed up for some professional courses, the teacher may have already I said it seriously. But for some friends who are self-taught calligraphy, they may want to look it up, but after looking up, they found many opinions. In fact, the so-called correct pen holding posture for learning calligraphy in modern times refers to the "five-finger pen holding method".
The five-finger pen holding method simply means that each of the five fingers has its own purpose.
When holding the pen, the thumb should exert a pressing force, and the direction of the force is the middle part of the index finger and middle finger.
When the index finger holds the pen, it acts as a hook, and the direction of the force is in the direction of the thumb.
The middle finger holds the pen barrel wrapped in the first and second sections of the pen, and the three fingers can actually hold the pen.
Wuming and little finger play a stabilizing role.
