How to hold a pen in calligraphy

Three-finger writing should be adopted. The specific requirements are: hold the pen with the right hand, and hold the pen tip about 3 cm away from the pen tip with the thumb, forefinger and middle finger from three directions respectively. The index finger is slightly in front, the thumb is slightly behind, the middle finger is pressed on the pen inside, and the ring finger and the little finger are naturally placed under the middle finger in turn, bending in the direction of the palm. The upper end of the pen rests on the bone with the highest index finger, and the pen is about 50 degrees from the paper. When you start writing, you should "hold your fingers firmly, and your hands are empty", so that you can write flexibly.

As for the writing of brush, there are many formulations. The following is an introduction to beginners:

"Finger pressing" refers to pressing the pen tube on the left side of the pen tube with the front end of the thumb.

Press down means to exert force from top to bottom, which means that the first section of the index finger holds the pen tube from top to bottom on the right side of the pen tube.

Hook, meaning hook, means that the middle finger is bent into a hook and hooked in front of the pen tube with the front end of the first finger pulp.

Plaid means resistance, which means that the ring finger pushes the pen tube from the back to the front with the joints of nails and meat.

Stretching, pushing and resisting means that the little finger is close to the ring finger to help it push the pen forward.

The five-character writing method is to summarize the functions of the five fingers with the words "one", "pledge", "hook", "case" and "ground". It emphasizes that the five fingers perform their duties, cooperate with each other, write smoothly, and make the pen move flexibly up and down, left and right. When using the five-character writing method, pay attention to the middle and upper part of the first section of the finger, and the palm is naturally empty, which can meet the writing requirements of "holding the palm firmly and empty". So we think beginners can choose this writing method.
