Calligraphy boosting pressure

When writing, we often press the pen at the beginning and end of the pen and use the pen in the line, so the pen is heavy at the end and light in the middle, and the lines are prone to the phenomenon of "timidity in the middle". Liu Xizai said in "A Brief Introduction to Art and Literature": "Distinguishing the press should be at the beginning of the pen, and distinguishing the mention should be at the end of the pen. The calligrapher's word "lifting and pressing" is consistent and inseparable. So fly a pen; When using a pen lightly, you must actually press it to avoid dropping the pen and floating it. " When to press, when to mention, the frequency and speed of mentioning depend on the specific situation when writing. We often press the pen where we send it, so that the pen will lie on the paper at the beginning, which is why we lack understanding of the method of lifting the pen. Dong Qichang also said: "Where a pen is written, it must be raised, not suppressed, but not handed down from generation to generation." Only by practicing repeatedly and experiencing with your heart in the process of writing can you realize the true meaning.

Lifting pressure in calligraphy

What does calligraphy theory mean?

We often hear people on the internet say: pay attention to the press, so what does this press mean?

Pressing and mentioning is the ups and downs of writing and writing. Press, it is a pen to go down; Lift the pen, that is, lift the pen up. If you lift it, the pen can keep the nib in the center. He Jiang in the Qing Dynasty said, "You must mention it after meals and after staying overnight. The person who raises the pen will be reduced to a beard and a squat. " Jiang Heng said, "Anyone who turns the shoulder hook must mention the next step. But the word "lift" is connected faster than influence. If it is later, it will make the shoulder off-line. " Liu Xizai's "Outline of Books on Arts and Literature" said: "All books should be pressed with a pen and lifted with a pen. Distinguish between pressing and not pressing, especially the pen head, distinguishing and mentioning. " "Calligraphers are consistent and not separated according to these two words. Therefore, when you are heavy, you should lift the pen, and when you are light, you should press the pen to avoid dropping and floating the pen. " Please refer to "line pen" which is very important in the study books!

Lifting pressure in calligraphy

Modern calligrapher Shen pointed out that pressing with a pen is just like walking, with the left foot down and the right foot up and down, in a cycle. In the process of using the pen, the fine strokes are lifted upward, so that the pen leaves the paper or is slightly lifted without leaving the paper.

Pressing is the action of pressing the pen down. The purpose of pressing is to spread the pen and make the stippling thicker. Press before writing, and then press before receiving the pen. You have to press it if you want to. The turning point is completed by boosting pressure, so boosting pressure is closely related.

Press again is called pause, press again is called squat, and press again is called stay, as shown in Figure 7-5 to Figure 7-7. The relationship between lifting and pressure is that there is pressure in lifting, lifting in pressing, lifting in pressing and lifting in pressing.
