The difference between cantilever calligraphy and pillow arm calligraphy

Pillow arm is a writing method that puts the pen arm on the desktop or the back of the left hand. Suitable for writing small letters or one-inch square middle letters. Cantilever is a method of writing brush characters, and all the pen holding arms are suspended. Case is appropriate.

There is also a kind of writing method called hanging wrist, which is that the wrist holding the pen is suspended, leaving the desktop, and the elbow arm is still leaning on the desk.

In this way, the range of motion of the wrist is larger than that of the pillow wrist method, and the arm and elbow joint are still leaning on the table, which is relatively stable, and you can write in block letters of two or three inches. Write couplets or broken Chinese characters by hanging your elbow.
