First, writing posture
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 correct posture of sitting on a book can be summarized as eight words: head straight, body straight, arms open, feet stable,
1. The key to opening the arm is that the two arms open naturally, and the included angle between the big arm and the small arm exceeds 90, so that the four joints of finger, wrist, elbow and shoulder can cooperate easily and harmoniously, and the strength of the body can be smoothly transmitted to the pen tip;
2. To meet the above requirements, you should try to sit up straight. The distance between the chest and the edge of the table is about 3 inches (adjust the distance according to the size of the handwriting). Don't cling to the desktop or hunch over;
3. Keep your head straight, keep your head straight and lean forward slightly. Do not skew, ensure that the viewing angle is moderate, and the distance between the eyes and the paper is roughly maintained at 30-40 cm. Hold down the paper on the left hand side and adjust the position of the paper so that the words being written are always in the best range of eyes and hands.
4. Put your feet flat naturally, and bend your legs flat. When your feet are parallel or slightly forward, your legs should not cross (commonly known as Erlang legs).
(2) Standing posture
The specific requirements of book-standing posture are: feet slightly apart, feet slightly leaning forward, maintaining body balance, upper body slightly leaning forward, waist slightly arched, and the distance should not be too far. Press the paper with your left hand and write with your right hand hanging down your wrist.
Second, the writing method
The ancients attached great importance to the method of writing, saying that "whoever learns calligraphy should learn to write first." There are many ways to write in ancient times, such as twisting the tube, holding the tube, pulling the stirrup, three fingers and five fingers.
(a) The pen is vertical.
The pen holder is straight, that is to say, the pen holder should be basically vertical to the paper, so as to ensure the central stroke, specifically, the pen holder is vertical, which is convenient for adjusting the direction of the eight-sided pen tip.
(b) refers to excessive palms.
Point to reality, pinch the pen with your fingertips, and don't tick the pen with your knuckles. Because the fingertips are sensitive, it is easy to control the subtle changes of the nib. Pinch the pen moderately with your fingers.
Palm deficiency means that the palm should be empty when writing. Don't hold the ring finger and the little finger in your palm.
(3) Relax naturally
When writing, you will naturally relax, and your fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulders can operate flexibly, so writing will be easy. For example, if you hold chopsticks tightly while eating, the food in the bowl will not be caught in your mouth, and so will writing.
If writing mainly depends on fingers, then writing mainly depends on wrists.
Finally, the problem of holding the pen. The general principle is: when writing small print and regular script, the pen holding position can be lower; When writing big characters, lines or cursive scripts, you can hold the pen higher, so that the nib can move greatly and the brushwork is smooth.
We specifically introduce a writing method: five-finger method, which uses five words to illustrate the role of five fingers in writing. These five words are; Pledge, pledge, hook, check, offset.
Used to illustrate the function of thumb. Stick your thumb on the left side of the pen.
(betting) used to illustrate the function of the index finger. Stick the index finger on the right side of the pen and clamp the pen opposite the thumb.
(Tick) is used to illustrate the function of the middle finger. The middle finger leans under the index finger, and the first joint bends into a hook and hooks the outside of the pen tube.
(Case) Used to illustrate the function of the ring finger. The ring finger clings to the pen holder, and the pen holder is blocked by hooking the middle finger inward to prevent the pen holder from being skewed.
Explain the function of the little finger. It means that the little finger is supported under the ring finger to increase the strength of the ring finger.
Basic stroke writing rules of regular script
Stroke is the basic element of Chinese characters. If you want to write well, you must first write a good stroke.
First, the law of starting a pen: point, belt and turn
It is suitable for writing directly. The reason why this writing method is taught is to facilitate students to learn running script in the future (see the picture below).
Point: Any stroke begins with a point. The pen holder is vertical, and the angle is inclined (45) (the default is this angle, which can be adjusted according to the different styles of regular script), and the almond tip with the front tip and the back circle is written from light to heavy.
Tape: used to write the outline of the pen, and it is also convenient to turn the pen. Take the bar as an example. After the almond stroke is completed, the brush will take the pen along the stroke direction (horizontal right, vertical down, lower left, lower right and upper right) to form a flat quadrilateral block surface, which not only writes out the outline of the pen, but also facilitates the change of the direction of the pen tip without leaving any trace, thus ensuring the central pen lifting in the next step.
Turn: it is to adjust the direction of the pen tip to meet the requirements of the center. After the flat quadrilateral block surface is formed, it is not necessary to lift the pen tip, and then use the thumb and forefinger to rotate the pen holder counterclockwise (horizontally, lifting is counterclockwise, vertically, skimming is clockwise, without rotation) to drive the pen tip to make counterclockwise adjustment.
