How to write calligraphy?

Pen transportation refers to the operation of pens. The first thing to note is that you must write with your wrist, not your fingers. Hold the pen tube with five fingers, and the hand moves by the force from the wrist. The pen tube moves back and forth with the moving direction of the hand, so that the pen tip writes a stippling on the paper. In this way, the wrist must leave the desktop and make it suspended, otherwise the hand can't move. When many people write, their arms and wrists are close to the desktop, and their hands are not flexible. They can only move the pen tube with their fingers, and the range of motion of the pen tip is also very small. When writing small words or characters about two centimeters, I barely cope, but when writing middle letters, big letters or even bigger words, I can't operate them. Therefore, to pay attention to writing, you need to practice hanging your wrist first.
People who haven't practiced writing by hanging their wrists are not used to this kind of action. As soon as their forearms left the desktop, they lost their support, their pens trembled in their hands, and their hands fluctuated. Their handwriting is either patchy, thick or thin, which is ugly. Therefore, they must practice hard and not give up. There are two ways to practice. One is to hold the pen tube upside down when you are free, or take a chopstick, hold it according to the correct writing method, hang your wrist and circle around the desktop. After a considerable period of practice, your wrist can gradually stabilize. The other is when writing, the left hand is placed flat on the desktop and the right wrist is placed on the back of the left hand to write. After writing for a while, your left hand will gradually stabilize. These two methods can be used at the same time, and in less than 100 days, they will certainly have an effect.
As for the wrist hanging, how far is it from the desktop? That's the same as the level of writing, depending on the size of writing. Generally written in Chinese letters, the wrist is about four centimeters away from the desktop. In short, write big characters, hang your wrists higher and stay away from the desktop; Write small print, hang your wrist low and stick to the desktop. There are no hard and fast rules.
In order to make it difficult to practice hanging your wrists high, the predecessors put forward a compromise method called? Lift your wrist? , also called what? Virtual wrist? The elbow bone leans against the table, and the wrist clings to the table, not tightly, and moves freely. In other words, it is the lowest hanging wrist, which is of course much easier than hanging wrist high. If you just want to write correctly and beautifully through practice, why not use it? Lift your wrist? The method. If you want to make achievements in art, so as to further March into the art of calligraphy, then you have to work hard and practice hanging your wrist high, so that you can use it freely when the foundation is determined.
Write oversized fonts such as plaque pairs, slogans, signs, etc. You can't just hang your elbow, so you can practice at the same time when you hang your elbow, so I won't discuss it here.
We have discussed how to carry a pen, so we should continue to discuss the brushwork. Brushwork, also known as pen, refers to the process of writing some pictures on paper with a pen tip. Don't think it's easy to draw a picture. Just draw a little on the paper and write a picture. The fact is not so simple. Random stippling, which seems to have great pen power, is actually superficial and does not contain real power. The ancients had it? Come back through the paper In short, how can a random stippling pass through the back of a piece of paper? The key to brushwork is only? What didn't hang down or walk away? Eight words. It means that no matter what strokes, such as point, horizontal, left, left, etc., you must walk around and never return. ? Generally speaking, how much do you want? Reverse the pen and go back to the front? What is this? Reverse pen? That is, when you start writing, the nib is backward. For example, draw horizontally from left to right. When writing, first turn the pen to the left, and then press it down gently to draw to the right. Draw directly from top to bottom. When writing, you should lean on the pen to go up, reach the top of the pen, gently press it to the lower right, and then draw down. What is this? Back to the front? That is, when the pen is closed, the pen tip moves backward, for example, drawing horizontally to the pen, slightly to the right, then gently pressing to the right and moving back to the middle; Draw directly to the pen set, gently lift it to the left, and then return to the middle. Any other strokes, such as clicking, picking, skimming and pressing, are written in this way. Why do you have to write like this? Is this related to the main tools for writing Chinese characters? Brushes are related. The performance of the brush is soft and elastic, and the near tip of the pen tip is called? Feng? Very elastic. When writing, the pen tip will fall off as soon as it is pressed on the paper, and it will be straight as soon as it is lifted. so this is it？ Feng? The role played. When writing horizontally, use the reverse pen to make the nib fall in the center of the right image, and then turn it to the right. At this point, the nib is flat on the paper, and the nib is in the middle of the horizontal painting, impartial, and finally recovered one by one? The pen is still straight. What's it called in calligraphy terms? Center? , also called what? Positive wind? ,? Tibet Front? The ancients talked about the secret of using a pen. Make the pen core (nib) often do some painting? , refers to the center. Writing can be centered on the pen, which is natural and practical, but not vain, and the ink is evenly used at home. On the other hand, if you follow the strokes, casually paint, or sweep the floor like a mop (this is called oblique, the strokes are on one side), the strokes just float on the paper, which will not be calm and beautiful, and the strokes will leave and never come back. When writing long strokes in the middle, the ink stored in the pen has been used up almost. When you write a pen, it will inevitably become a dry pen because of the lack of ink, or you need to dip it in ink again to finish it, which is unacceptable.
