Detailed explanation of double hook calligraphy
This method originated in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, because there was no printing technology, in order to spread the works of famous calligraphers, people drew hollow characters according to the original works and filled them with black ink, so that viewers could get works similar to the original works. Later, this copying method became a way for people to learn calligraphy, and developed into a splendid calligraphy art treasure in China. "Double hook" is also a calligraphy term. Calligraphy is called "double hook", which is used to draw a stone and hook it out along the outer edges of both sides of its stroke with thin lines.
The difference between double hook and single hook
Double hook, also known as "white hook", is to recite the structure of the glyph and then form the hollow character of the glyph with a single line, that is, there are only edges in the middle of the character. There are fewer people practicing double hook because it is difficult.
"Single hook" means to hook the pen tube with the index finger, write with the thumb, and the index finger is the main hook, which is a term in calligraphy. In fact, it is the hand shape when we write with a brush.
