Kangjian specifically refers to the writing method of "horizontal painting" in regular script fonts, which tilts from the lower left to the horizontal and upper right. This is a basic feature of horizontal painting in regular script. In hard-pen calligraphy, especially hard-pen regular script, you also need to pay attention to the "shoulder-resistant" writing method. The "shoulder slightly raised, the pen goes up" mentioned in the following two formulas refers to the anti-shoulder writing method. Tips for writing short horizontal strokes with hard pen: write short horizontal strokes, not flat, raise your shoulders slightly, and move your pen upward. The short transverse slope is 5-8 degrees.

Tips for writing short horizontal strokes with hard pen: write short horizontal strokes, not flat, raise your shoulders slightly, and move your pen upward. The short transverse slope is 5-8 degrees. Tips for writing long and horizontal strokes with a hard pen: When writing long and horizontal strokes, be sure to keep it steady from zero to five degrees. The long and horizontal tilt is 0-5 degrees. The horizontal drawing of Kang Jian gives people the visual effect of shifting the center of gravity to the left, making the whole word heavier on the left and lighter on the right. The result of the horizontal strokes and the resistance of the shoulders is that the overall left side of the text is small and large, and the overall left side is small and the right side naturally produces the visual effect of the overall center of gravity shifting to the right. The partial shift of the visual center of gravity to the left (due to the resistance of the horizontal drawing to the shoulder) and the overall right shift (small left and large, or zoomed left and right) just ingeniously return the center of gravity of the whole character to balance.
