How to write hard-pen calligraphy and how to write it well?

The methods of lifting and holding the pen are collectively called brushwork. They are related to the shape, strength and speed of lines, are the means to control the texture of lines, and are also the most basic and important content in writing skills. Specifically, the requirements for pens are as follows:

1. stippling should be three-dimensional. The front face (which can be considered as the front face) and the side face (which can be considered as the front face off center) of the pen tip, and the pen is carried so that the front face of the pen tip contacts the paper no matter when starting, writing, knotting or rotating. That is, straight ahead, then stippling must be round and thick, full and vigorous, giving people a three-dimensional sense.

2. stippling should have a sense of weight. Judging from the writing process of stippling, any stippling has three basic actions: putting pen to paper, raising pen and collecting pen. These three movements bear different forces, which should indicate that the place where the pen is put down and closed is slightly heavier; The process of writing is slightly lighter, the turning pause is slightly heavier, the needle is hanging out, the hook is picked, and the pen is slightly lighter; "Point" should be heavy, "painting" should be light; Wait a minute. In short, changing the intensity of the pen will produce different effects. The stippling written is not only different in thickness, but also clear from beginning to end, giving people a feeling of elegance, beauty and calmness, as well as a sense of ups and downs and elasticity. When emphasizing the lightness and lightness of brushstrokes, we should pay attention to implication, but we should also pay attention to avoiding understatement and focusing on plain brushstrokes.

3. stippling should have a sense of speed. We know that if the structure of words is uniform, symmetrical, coherent and uneven, and there is no flying trend, it will inevitably lack vitality. To live, we must use vivid stippling to express it.

In short, we require that the pen should be solid but not dead, and that the pen should be alive but not floating in order to write a good hand.
