The beautiful paragraphs describing calligraphy are as follows:
1. When sitting at the desk, your upper body should be upright, keep your eyes at an angle of about 45 degrees to the table, and your head should not be tilted left or right. Keep a punch's distance between your chest and the edge of the table, with your arms naturally flat on the table and your feet naturally flat on the ground.
2. How to hold the brush. The tip of the knuckle of your thumb is close to the inside of the pen barrel. Press hard from left to right. The end of the knuckle of your index finger is tilted against the outside of the pen barrel. Pinch the pen barrel with your thumb. Use your middle finger to hook the outside of the pen barrel tightly. Use the root of your ring finger to hold the pen tightly. On the right side of the tube, opposite the middle finger, and finally, use the little finger to naturally approach the ring finger.
3. The simple way to hold a pen is to place the penholder between the three tips of the thumb, index finger and middle finger. The index finger is in front, the thumb is on the left and right, and the middle finger is on the lower right. Pour the ink into the inkstone, dip the brush into the ink, and lay the paper flat.
4. To write horizontal strokes, first move the tip of the pen slightly to the right in the air, and then move it to the upper left and write in the opposite direction on the paper. Pause gently downwards, move the pen edge slightly back to the middle, and stroke gently and smoothly to the right. When you put the pen away, lift it up gently, tap it down, then lift it up and put it back again, and you'll have written horizontally.
5. The key to sitting posture is to be upright, stable and stretch naturally, with your head upright, body straight, arms open and feet secure. When holding the pen, be careful not to make your wrist too stiff, but to move the pen flexibly. The strokes are not comprehensive, so you can choose calligraphy according to your own interests. Calligraphy such as Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" is suitable for beginners. It takes time to practice calligraphy well, and it is not something that can be accomplished in a day. As long as you have perseverance, you will have a chance to practice well. When writing on paper, you can put other things under the paper to prevent ink from staining the desk.
