What is the posture of the brush?

There are two main writing postures of brush, one is sitting in a book posture, and the other is standing in a book posture. The former is mainly used for writing small-diameter characters and small-format works, while the latter is generally used for writing large-diameter characters and large-format works. The essentials of writing brush refer to solid, virtual palm, flat wrist and vertical palm. Wang Xizhi argues that it is important to write, and only by writing tightly can you concentrate on using a pen. Su Dongpo advocates being open-minded, that is, holding the pen loosely and making it easy to turn the pen.

Matters needing attention in writing brush posture

In addition to paying attention to posture, we should also pay attention to the norms of body posture, so as to achieve four standards: straight head, straight body, open arms and sufficient safety. When writing brush strokes, the head should be straight, not sideways, or there will be problems when writing cervical vertebrae for a long time.

Lean forward slightly, keeping a fist and a half away from the table. Don't stoop, relax your shoulders naturally. Open your arms and relax your shoulders. Keep your arms and wrists in a horizontal line. Don't be nervous, or your arm will become stiff. Foot safety refers to the natural landing of the feet, slightly separated, and the position of the feet is equal to the shoulder width.
